60 Hard Truths about "Liberals"

For those of you who do not know, especially young people, I am compelled to inform you of the generally un-known truth that the word "Liberal" has a proud heritage and was originally a word that described men who were the political opposites of modern "Liberals."

The word "Liberal" was forcibly stolen and corrupted by evil men who intentionally perverted the use and meaning of the word. In the long forgotten past, the word "Liberal" described honorable and principled men who held to a philosophy of government that advocated Constitutional Republicanism. Constitutional Republicanism is a type of government almost unknown to most of the world. America was originally a Constitutional Republic. A Constitutional Republic defined is characterized by a very small government with limits on its powers of taxation and whose other powers are strictly limited by rigorously enforced Constitutional edicts. But modern Liberals are nothing more and nothing less than Communists, Socialists and Dictators. Modern Liberals promote, advocate and enforce the centralization of all political power into an all powerful central government. The honorable old Liberals of the 19th century must be spinning in their graves over the outrageous corruption and modern use of the word "Liberal." Following are 60 Truisms about Liberals: 1. At the most basic level, the Liberal is anti-God. He is an intellectually dishonest, unprincipled, mentally immature, spoiled child who is forever in search of a world without moral consequence. That is why the Liberal makes "The State" his god. The Liberal worships THE STATE. The Liberal attempts to use his god (government) to eliminate all moral consequences for immoral behavior. In the name of "Justice," the Liberal also pretends to make his god (The State)

I recently read “Still the Best Hope” by Dennis Prager. The first four chapters are “What is Leftism”, “Why the Left Believes What It Believes”, “Why the Left Succeeds” and “The Left’s Moral Record”. A truly incredible book and an amazing experience reading it. I plan to read it again. I now completely understand why most members of my husband’s family and several of my friends (most are teachers—surprise!) think the way they do.

Have you noticed how these people all want to do Something? Doesn’t matter if it makes no sense, does not address the problem, and costs a lot of our tax dollars. It usually includes a loss of liberty. But it makes these uninformed people feel better.

And they have no idea nor want to know the results of their actions because it may "hurt" their feelings or impinge upon their "self-esteem". A perfect example are donations to 3rd world NGOs that supposedly help, say provide free mosquito nets to a community rife with malaria or other mosquito-borne disease. The liberals feel good because they are "helping Africa". They fail to realize that they are actually destroying the community. The family that used to make a living off of making and selling mosquito nets is put out of business, and becomes dependent upon foreign handouts, because no one will pay for the nets when some do-good, feel-good NGO provides it to them for free. In The Naked Socialist, Mr. Skousen writes "...Socialism progresses like a snake eating its tail..."

He defines socialism as standing atop seven pillars of ocntrol rooted in the power and authority of of Rulers' Law: 1-All-powerful Rulers 2-Society Divided into Castes or Classes 3-All things in Common 4-All things regulated 5-Compliance is force 6-Control of information 7-No unalienable rights Then he starts with socialism in ancient history through the early americas and dissects what socialsm did in each era and why it failed. Then follows the path of how our Founding Fathers were right and stopped socialism. Proceeds to show how socialism evolved in the US, i.e. religion, health care, money, bad amendments, the court system, unions et al. Give specific examples of socialism in the world and the US with snap shots of such events. Then ends the book with the 46 goals of socialsm versus the proper role of government.
