It’s easy, not to mention great fun, to ridicule liberals. But so long as you’re not totally devoid of the compassion gene, it’s hard not to feel sorry for them.
You also felt you couldn’t complain about Operation Fast and Furious; tapping the phones and computers at the AP; the Benghazi massacre and subsequent cover-up; or the scandalous goings-on over at the IRS.
You can’t even condemn the President for subverting the Constitution by grabbing power from the legislative branch of government.
The fact is, liberals can’t even take Obama to task at a time when unemployment and under-employment are destroying the lower and middle class; ObamaCare is wrecking the world’s best health care system; and soaring energy costs are killing Americans trying to cope with winter storms of biblical proportions. And all the while, Barack and Michelle are carrying on like French kings and dukes just prior to Robespierre’s introducing the royal scum to Joseph Guillotin’s novel contribution to the world of pest control.
But before we waste too much sympathy on liberals, we should recognize that even Obama couldn’t totally destroy America without the assistance of like-minded mopes like Harry Reid, Charles Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Dick Durbin and Alan Grayson, all duly elected by voters who take obvious pride in being both arrogant and stupid.
Unlike the typical low-information liberal, even a child knows that when the Declaration of Independence states that all people are created equal, it’s not to be taken literally. The child, even one cursed with progressive parents, realizes that some people are bigger, stronger and faster. He or she may even realize that some people are smarter, born richer or are simply more ambitious, than others.
But what everyone should understand is that, ideally, every American is entitled to equal liberty and the opportunity to succeed, with the freedom to define success on his own terms.
What equality never means – except in the echo chambers liberals have where their brains were meant to be – is equality of outcome, as determined by politicians and federal bureaucrats. Such systems are inevitably totalitarian, with equality — except for the privileged few in authority — being one defined as equality of deprivation, fear and misery.
ALL of it here

For instance, imagine you voted for Barack Obama in 2008 because you believed all the high-sounding hooey he spewed, ignoring his background and his associates. Because you gave him the key to your heart, you found yourself unable to complain about an additional five or six years of mounting casualties in Afghanistan, drone strikes, Guantanamo or even the Patriot Act.
You also felt you couldn’t complain about Operation Fast and Furious; tapping the phones and computers at the AP; the Benghazi massacre and subsequent cover-up; or the scandalous goings-on over at the IRS.
