Liberal Intolerance, Part II.

My previous post dealt with the reasons why many true liberals have defected from the left. The reasons focused mainly on obstinate and often venomous ideology, and the scorn that such intolerant groups lay on dissenters. Only when the veil of liberal moral superiority has been lifted can these converts (they could argue that it was the liberal left that changed - not them) see how truly bigoted the far left has become. Once on the other side, most liberal defectors describe the invective rained upon them by leftists for daring to challenge progressive policies and liberal groupthink.

All who question progressive strategies for a better tomorrow are branded with the label du jour: sexist, racist, xenophobic, homophobic, heteronormative, imperialist, conservative activist, anti-Islamic, Christian fundamentalist, Theocratic, et al.

Such labels change the subject and render the opposition's argument obsolete. When sheer hypocrisy is identified in the liberal agenda, then the dissenter's reputation is immediately attacked (an act all too common across the political spectrum). Many liberals feel justified in this behavior because they don't draw a moral equivalence between themselves and conservatives.

Liberals are good, Conservatives are bad. Liberals help others, Conservatives help only themselves. Liberals want more freedom, Conservatives want more power.

They champion equal rights, but then consider those who disagree with them as inferior or too stupid to understand.

Such bigotry has progressed to the point that many leftists see Conservatives as unequal citizens and feel justified to turn to violence when confronted with their viewpoints. As long as the liberal left continues this course, it will be sealing its fate as the party of the past.

Here are more examples of disillusionment, obstinance and bigotry of the liberal left....

How could anyone reasonably threaten someone to take down a picture of President Bush, in a montage of American Presidents, because the democratic candidate is/was not equally represented? Come on, who would want a wall filled with history's also-rans?

Just another example of, "You'd better change the rules when I'm losing, but we don't want to change tradition when I'm winning."

Yeah who wants a picture of Mondale anywhere?!?!?

[cchandler]

I can't think of Mondale without being reminded of the Saturday Night Live skit where Mondale kept dozing off, and the only thing he could say was, "Gridlock!"
