It has been over a month since I have participated in political dialogue—mainly because of “burn-out”. I realize we are all bombarded constantly via emails, newsletters, panic phone solicitations, and TV stories regarding politics.
There are several issues I feel compelled to bring up at this time, because they are repeatedly brought up in the News. I realize some of my friends are Liberals and/or Democrats, so, this will esp. be addressed to them. I respect the right to have differing views, and, whether we agree or disagree, we all need to be open to agreement on common sense principles.
1/ I have heard the redundant argument and accusation by Liberal talking heads and professors, that the less intelligent voted for Bush. I am humored by this, in light of the fact that if those with an IQ of 80 or less were disqualified from voting—Bush would have won in a LANDSLIDE! I challenge any Liberal reading this to disprove the reality of this demographic stat. The strength of Kerry’s support (look at the blue district’s highlighted map) was in the cities. The less educated reside in these precincts. As Neil Boortz (a Libertarian) says, “the lower your IQ, the more likely you are to vote Democrat.” The motivation is primarily their desire to feed off the largess of the government. It doesn’t take a lot of brains to be manipulated by a Party who promises to take care of you.
2/ I am also tired of hearing the deceptive argument by the Left that “the Republicans are the Party of the Rich.” And, that “the Democrats are the Party of compassion and the working man.” This, needless to say, is utter nonsense. The Left raised millions of dollars more than the Republicans this last Election. Also, the majority of the super rich are Liberal (I could give a list of dozens, but, a here’s a sampling—Steven Spielberg, Peter Lewis, Warren Buffet, Steven Bing, Martha Stewart, George Soros, Michael Moore, etc.). By the way, is it not a logical question—if Liberals are so compassionate and giving, why do they own all these assets? Shouldn’t they be sharing with the poor and the homeless? Why do they all live in mansions, own several luxury cars, private jets, yachts, etc? Not only are they hypocritical in using excess energy as environmentalists, they are usually stingy when it comes to their own money.
Also, statistics showed recently that the Blue states gave less to charity than the Red states. The most generous people I know personally, are Conservatives. This isn’t to say that there aren’t many stingy ones. But, it is a stereotypical empty argument by the Left to put labels on us.
3/ Finally, there is an underlying theme during the Christmas season…although, I see an intensity like never before, to get rid of “religious” (esp. “Christian”) overtones in public. Now, I realize there are some Democrats who are as disgusted with the ACLU as Conservatives are. But, the ugly truth of secularism and it’s linkage to Liberalism (and specifically to the Democratic Party) needs to be faced eye to eye. Case in point, if there was any doubt as to where secularists threw their support in this last Election, look no further than John Kerry. His token religious gestures aside, they knew he was one of them.
Does anyone have any doubt that a Conservative judge would ever rule that “under God” in the pledge, singing “Silent Night”, or displaying a manger scene at an elementary school Christmas play is illegal? NO. We aren’t so stupid as to not know that it is Liberal judges across the country who are trying dissect God and biblical principles from mainstream America.
You also have an ideal case-study of the link between Liberalism and Secularism in our Universities. It is a fact that at least 80% of professors teaching humanities and social science courses are Liberal in their ideology. Of those approx. 80%, approx. 90% are atheists or agnostics. They see Christianity as archaic and a threat to “progress”. These same professors went ballistic when Kerry lost. They knew that a Kerry win would lead to more secularism, primarily via the installation of Liberal (i.e. secular) judges.
