Leftists, liars, and losers

Leftists are losers. Take one look at any society that has embraced leftism for a long time and you will find the most decrepit, unworkable, poverty-stricken, oppressed, and just plain bad societies on the planet. Leftists are often liars too, with those who are in power claiming great things will come if we only follow their despotic program of ruin and despair.

To a leftist, the ends (having the people wholly dependent upon the state) justifies the means (anything they want to say or do to get us there). They spread a gospel of feelings. How one feels about something is more important than the actual results of doing something. For example, if you feel good that the government is taking money out of your pocket and giving handouts to millions of poor people in America, all in the guise of helping them out of poverty, well, that's good enough. Never mind that programs that urge perennial dependence on welfare have not worked to reduce poverty rates. The actual results do not matter to a leftist. What matters is that it feels good to do it.

Perhaps one might say that those to the right of the political spectrum offer the same dream of unfulfilled hopes and tragedy. You might even be able to provide a few examples of extreme right oppression. Countries in which Islamic fundamentalism rules should be chief among these examples. We cannot discount the effect that extremism has upon its adherents.

Yet leftism has just as many detrimental outcomes as Islamic fundamentalism does. One need only to look at the purges of Mao Tse Tung's China, Stalin's Russia, or the horrific conditions of North Korea and Venezuela to see the evidence mount up that any ideology that doesn't include principles of morality, liberty. and free markets doesn't add up to any place worth living. Corruption and extravagance among the elite is what needs to be purged, not those who have differing religious or political views.

Committed leftists, like Obama, are often misconstrued as weak. Obama isn't weak. He's very strong in his leftism. And if you like the false ideals and solutions promulgated by the left, he is your champion. But everyone must take responsibility for that which they espouse. If and when those who are fighting the left fail to change the course America is now on, then those who are promoting such a course are in fact, guilty of the ruin and despair that will result. If your goal is to turn America into a smoking ruin, then you must reap the results of an America-less world.

The contradictions of liberalism

I think it's really ironic the way the left treats religion. Here's an example. If someone says that they believe in the death penalty for murder because the Bible tells them that people who murder should be put to death, there is a large segment of the left  that oppose the death penalty who will say things like “stop letting your religion control our lives” or “there's supposed to be separation of church and state” or “you are a religious fanatic”.


On the other hand if someone claims that there should be no capital punishment because God said “Thou shalt not kill” in the Ten Commandments, those same people on the left will support that decision wholeheartedly. There is no complaint about religious fanaticism, or separation of church and state then.


Why the difference?


What about the anti-slavery movement that happened here in America in the 1800s? That was fueled by Christian abolitionists who found Biblical reasons to oppose slavery. Would the left say that because of separation of church and state, that the abolitionist movement should therefore have ceased?


The thing is, it's not about the religion. It's about the values. If my values agree with those on the left, even though I found them in the Bible, they are perfectly fine values. But if my values do not concur with the prevailing views of the left, they are then shot down as religious intrusions into other's lives.

Michael Moore wants to ban guns in the hands of police and ...everyone else.

Michael Moore wants police to go gunless: Michael Moore wants to disarm police and free non-violent criminals

This is the same guy who wants to take guns away from ordinary citizens.
What a joke! So, therefore, only criminals will have guns. A smart man, that Michael Moore. Very, very smart--like most people on the left, they don't use common sense. As long as it feels like they're doing something good, the consequences don't matter.
