Defining "Liberalism"

[PoliticalChic]

The stated mission of the Heritage Foundation is "to formulate and promote conservative public policy based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values and a strong national defense".

1. As in Global Warming???

a. In academia, truth has fallen in priority to ideology, also known as the ‘greater truth’ of pre-formed conclusions. A case in point is climate change. Normal science discovers facts, and then constructs a theory from those facts. ‘Post-modern science’ starts with a theory that is politically sensitive, and then makes up facts to influence opinion in its favor.

b. Mike Hulme is Professor of Climate Change in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia (UEA), []Mike Hulme and was good enough to reveal the truth in the Guardian, 2007: “…this particular mode of scientific activity… has been labelled "post-normal" science. Climate change seems to fall in this category. Disputes in post-normal science focus as often on the process of science - who gets funded, who evaluates quality, who has the ear of policy - as on the facts of science…. Self-evidently dangerous climate change will not emerge from a normal scientific process of truth seeking,… scientists - and politicians - must trade (normal) truth for influence. If scientists want to remain listened to, to bear influence on policy, they must recognise the social limits of their truth seeking and reveal fully the values and beliefs they bring to their scientific activity…. Climate change is too important to be left to scientists - least of all the normal ones.” The appliance of science | Society | The Guardian




Liberals.....just a barrel of monkeys.

Whittaker Chambers wrote in his book WITNESS that liberals are/were incapable of ever effectively fighting Communism because they did not see anything in Communism that was antithetical to their own beliefs. In short, Liberals are Communists and Communists are Liberals.





A detailed exposition of that theme can be found in James Piereson of the Manhattan Institute's 2007 book “Camelot and the Cultural Revolution: How the Assassination of John F. Kennedy Shattered American Liberalism”

He showed how that moment, the assassination, gave Liberals the opportunity to turn on communism, ...or on America.
Their choice is clear today.


1. "... (concerning Lee Harvey Oswald) “He didn’t even have the satisfaction of being killed for civil rights. It’s — it had to be some silly little Communist.”— Jacqueline Kennedy

2. She thought it robbed his (JFK's) death of any meaning. But a meaning would be quickly manufactured to serve a new politics. First, however, an inconvenient fact — Oswald — had to be expunged from the story.

a. .... 24 months after the assassination, Arthur Schlesinger Jr., the Kennedys’ kept historian, published a thousand-page history of the thousand-day presidency without mentioning the assassin.






3. ... The transformation of a murder by a marginal man into a killing by a sick culture began instantly — before Kennedy was buried. The afternoon of the assassination, Chief Justice Earl Warren ascribed Kennedy’s “martyrdom” to “the hatred and bitterness that has been injected into the life of our nation by bigots.”

a. The next day, James Reston, the New York Times luminary, wrote in a front-page story that Kennedy was a victim of a “streak of violence in the American character,” noting especially “the violence of the extremists on the right.”

[Of course, Liberals are still running with that obfuscation today, with respect to the Tea Party]

b. Never mind that adjacent to Reston’s article was a Times report on Oswald’s Communist convictions and associations. A Soviet spokesman, too, assigned “moral responsibility” for Kennedy’s death to “Barry Goldwater and other extremists on the right.”

[Liberals and Soviet spokesmen....on the same page]






4. .... a Times editorial, “Spiral of Hate,” identified Kennedy’s killer as a “spirit”: The Times deplored “the shame all America must bear for the spirit of madness and hate that struck down” Kennedy. The editorialists were, presumably, immune to this spirit. The new liberalism-as-paternalism would be about correcting other people’s defects..... Kennedy was killed by America’s social climate, whose sickness required “punitive liberalism.”

[ "... Obama Is Making Shutdown As Painful As Possible" http://news92fm.com/390223/congressman-olson-says-obama-is-making-shutdown-as-painful-as-possible/]






5. The bullets of Nov. 22, 1963, altered the nation’s trajectory less by killing a president than by giving birth to a destructive narrative about America.....

6. Punitive liberalism preached the necessity of national repentance for a history of crimes and misdeeds that had produced a present so poisonous that it murdered a president.... Liberalism would become the doctrine of grievance groups owed redress for cumulative inherited injuries inflicted by the nation’s tawdry history, toxic present and ominous future.

[ Obama: "I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism."]

7. As Piereson writes, the retreat of liberalism from a doctrine of American affirmation left a void that would be filled by Ronald Reagan 17 years after the assassination." George F. Will: When liberals became scolds - The Washington Post





Whitaker Chamber's point proven.

Liberalism continued down the path blazed by Franklin Roosevelt....seeing nothing worthy of confronting nor combating in communism.



Just as Oswald was erased as the central element of the assassination, so, too, was the glorious history of this great nation.
Instead, it turned the battle against a non-existent enemy of freedom and liberty, ...America.


Liberalism: seeking evil in America the way pigs seek truffles.

Typical simple minded, black and white thinking from the right wing. "We are good. They are bad. There is no inbetween."

I'll be honest, it astounds me how devoid so many conservatives are of critical thinking skills.

Seriously, do you all think that us liberals get together and have a fucking monthly meeting to decide what we all believe and agree on? Every liberal in America? You must because that is the only way this childish logic would make any fucking sense.

Liberals are individuals like anyone else. We all have different opinions and levels of intellectual reasoning. WE DON'T ALL THINK THE SAME WAY. We aren't robots for Christs sakes. Why this simple logic escapes you just blows my mind. I guess its just easier to demonize anyone who disagrees with you, huh?

Do yourself a favor and think critically for once about political issues. Otherwise you will always lack a basic understanding of them.

A lesson for BillyZeroIQ.....

..... the NYTimes actually posited this:
" NYT Op-Ed: Dallas 'Willed the Death' of JFK

NYT Op-Ed: Dallas 'Willed the Death' of JFK

Not communism.

Not a communist.

Dallas. Americans were responsible.

Liberal boilerplate:"America Baaaaaaaddddd!"



Just as Whittaker Chambers said:
"liberals are/were incapable of ever effectively fighting Communism because they did not see anything in Communism that was antithetical to their own beliefs."



Here is the Times' tale:

What are the chances tomorrow's NYTimes headline will be....

"JFK Assination: The Day Communism Killed Our President"

????????????????


Slim and none?




I mean....it would be correct.....right?

Remember Jeff Foxworthy's signs that "you might be a redneck"?

Here are few signs that you might contracted liberal disease:
... you call victims of Benghazi attack and operation Fast & Furious - phony.
... you believe that death comes when heart stops beating and the life doesn't begin when heart starts beating.
... you call Sarah Palin a stupid ****, but you think that expecting Hilary to stop lying constitutes a "war on women".
... you think that Christians are bitterly clinging to their religion and guns, but also thinking that future does not belong to those who insults the prophet of Islam.
... you think that Bush who went to Yale and Harvard is an idiot, and that Barry who kinda maybe mighta sorta went to Columbia for a minute and he's a genius.
... you think opposition to Obamacare is racist, but calling guy like Dr. Ben Carson - Uncle Tom. It doesn't matter that Carson is recognized as world class neurosurgeon, problem is that he doesn't hang with Jay Z...
... you picture and instagram yourself from Occupy riot - with your iPhone.
... you believe that corporations suck, except for ones that makes stuff that your mom buys for you.
... idea that Joe "BFD" Biden is one heartbeat from the presidency doesn't bother you at all.

That's how Authoritarianism works. The rightwing blathers about freedom but you see what happens to those straying from the party line. And that line has gone further to the right with each successive year. Complete and utter fidelity to the rightwing value of the day or total excommunication and annihilation by the 'true believers.'

RINO is the clarion call for all traitors to the cause...whatever that lunacy of the day might be....usually it's merely a contrarian approach for these 'freedom loving' authoritarians.

Obama passes:

ACA (Obamacare)- a republican healthcare plan.

Cap and trade - a republican market based approach to industrial pollution

Tax cuts skewed to the Rich - A republican (Bush) initiative

And these rightwingers call Obama a socialist and far left liberal. That's authoritarian blindness if you've ever seen it.
