The two big problems with liberals are these: They push the idea that their way of living is good for everyone else, or they assume that some way that they don’t live is good for everyone else. Either way can get pretty insulting. For instance, I felt absolutely turned off at Obama’s statement on Moms at home, fact is that there are fathers at home in some cases, and the other one is that few people in America are as rich as the Obama’s are. For much of the U.S. population, a second working parents’ income will be eaten up by sending your children to daycare, something that the Obamas, with their greater income, aren’t concerned about. Second, there is the gun control idea, when your average liberal has armed bodyguards to accompany them. I doubt the regulations would apply to them getting rid of their bodyguards, or to them at all.
My usual answer to questions like that is:
Is the Pope Catholic?
However with the current Pope, I don’t think the answer is so clear.
Maybe we should change it to:
Is Michelle Obama ugly?
Of course the Pope is Catholic
Yes.
Next question.
Now tell me, is this a trick question?
Liberalism is a mental disorder. Why should anyone expect it to be coherent?
I think intellectual bankruptcy is a symptom of a larger problem. Liberalism is a cult of personality. The techniques used to obtain followers is no different than what the tyrants throughout history used.
Take any cult and just for a moment think about how they get followers. A sense of belonging, a message that makes perfect sense and a figure to blame. For kids it’s the parets. For liberals it’s the Conservatves. The message is clear. World peace, clean air and water, no poverty, no hatred. But it’s the Conservatives who are causing it.
Now here’s the thing. While all of this is going on, what are the actual purveyors of this doing? Are they practicing it? No. They are looting the treasury. Take a college professor. Is he intellectually bankrupt? No. His gig is in exchange for getting young people ii to the cult, he gets tenure.
I submit to my FReeper friends that the DNC and it’s global affiliates is nothing more than a criminal organization, using the cult of liberalism as a front
Paging the spelling police....
When the onion skins of the Progressive movement are peeled down to the last layer, one finds dollar signs; they love the stuff and have no respect for what makes it. They just know they have to have it and lust after the printing presses and the power that coins it.
IMHO
It takes no intelligence to be a liberal since they operate solely on feelings.
What we are really seeing are the two parties merging into one “government” party with an imperial president ruling by decree.
It’s the natural end point for the total corruption in DC we are witnessing.
Oregon is, of course, one of the most liberal states in the union. I've heard the same thing about Vermont. Now that liberals have made it a thoroughly liberal state, everybody else keep out.
“Liberal” and “intellect” should never appear in the same sentence. LIBs are mentally disturbed.
Yes, and they are morally bankrupt as well!
I don’t know where you got that story...its old...Governor McCall (GOP) in the 1970s said that...the Libs are now inviting EVERYONE to Oregon..its the only way the state may financially survive...but it won’t..
p.s..and in the 70s Oregon was not liberal
That’s not a question it is a FACT!
Not just intellectually but in every conceivable manner, liberalism is a deadly puss oozing poisonous infection on our Free Republic.
Liberalism, socialism and Islam will exist and flourish as long as there is evil.
The answer is as follows:
Liberalism has fully accepted postmodernist view that objective truth doesn’t exist, therefore lying and hypocrisy don’t really exist. So you can lie and you can contradict yourself to no end.
To top it all, liberalism embraces the existential view that life has no objective meaning. So nothing matters anyway.
So all of reality is seen as subjective.
Remember the Me Generation?
