Very accurate descriptions of the modern liberal.
Just like all the Federal and UN legislatioin they love so much. Whatever the NAME of it is and purports to accomplish you can bet the real goal is just about the opposite.
Number three makes me laugh... Liberals are, as a group, the most intolerant breed of cat you’ll ever run into. Of course they think they are very tolerant. I guarantee you that every lib lurker here that reads this post thinks I’m wrong. I also guarantee you that most, nearly all of them, will think some mean thought about me or wish some evil upon me. None of them will realize or recognize the irony nor the hypocrisy.
Superb post!!!!
Imagine if conservative pols actually spoke these very words to the people - certainly SOME of the poor would wake up and realize they are enslaved in the tyranny of communism.
May I add one, Kaslin. LIBERALS AREN’T RACIST. They tote that old line all the time. However, they support affirmative action/lower test scores for a job etc.. all the time. For a group that isn’t racist, they sure think that someone of color is less intelligent than a white person. Just my two cents...
One difference I see between conservative and liberals is that conservatives reason and liberals emote and assume that’s reasoning.
In other words, the liberal “project” themselves unto the conservatives.
Liberals are totalitarians while conservatives are small government constitutional republicans. The rest naturally follows.
I would also add personal responsibility. I’ve don’t believe I’ve ever met a liberal who has been responsible for their actions and/or lot in life. It’s always someone/something else’s fault for what happened to them.

Liberals moralize about everything except anything to do with sex.
6) That taking money from one person and giving it to another is “compassion” and “fairness”
“Liberals care about people.” That may be true if you think of “people” as a group. But liberals are collectivists; they do not view anyone as an individual — only a member of some useful class. Your only value to a liberal is in your willingness to behave as the herd behaves. Assert any individuality and you become an enemy of the State.
Indeed - that’s the driving motivation for most liberals.
They want to think of themselves as a “good person”, and structure a bunch of lies around this core drive.
They want to be “righteous”, self-righteous, at least,
but definitely don’t want to submit themselves to the ONLY plan of true righteousness, substitutionary righteousness.
Now, some that call on the name of Christ fall into the “works righteousness” hole, thinking “you have to DO x,y,z in order to be righteous”. This isn’t correct and could have eternal consequences for the believer, but it’s still not as self-deceiving as the liberal belief.
The liberal belief, I call “advocacy based righteousness”.
“I am a good person because I advocate that x,y,z be done.”
They don’t see it as theft when they advocate taking one person’s property and giving it to another - BECAUSE THEY HAVEN’T OR REFUSE TO EXAMINE THE ISSUE THAT DEEPLY.
Once they get the “warm fuzzy” of “I’m a good person because I want to help x,y,z”, that’s the end of the issue for them.
Liberals care about people as a concept, but as individuals, not so much.
This comes, again, from their desire to feel good about THEMSELVES, and not from any altruistic drive.
This is why they don’t often personally sacrifice or give to charity.
When one drills down to the core, leftists have a deep hatred of God and His moral values.
Leftists simply reject God and “feel” they are their own “god”.
Leftists simply cannot face the fact God’s perfect values surpass their “feel good” beliefs...hence the deep hate for Him and what He represents.
Liberals will "feel" that you are wrong about that.
This is very true. That's why liberals work so hard to keep the poor around. They hate it when conservatives try to eliminate the poor by raising them into the middle class.
Keeping the classes distinct is very important to liberals. That's also why the uber-rich liberals want income tax increases on rich people. Rich people who are still earning income need to be kept down lest they also become uber-rich and get all uppity.
