Liberals constantly stake a claim to some religion-free moral high ground, which is laughable considering liberalism’s ideology is immoral at its core. Since November of last year, leftists have been too blinded by inane hatred for Trump to see the irony.
Sure, there are liberals out there who lead decent lives and you can find some on the other side who don’t. Difference is, though, the longer a liberal remains liberal, the harder it is for them to see the light...the truth…that all their ideology does is cover them with a cloak of morality.
The false sense of morality gives them license to live a life filled with double standards. What’s wrong is wrong, right? No. Their skewed perception of right and wrong allows them to believe it’s okay to do wrong, but it’s not okay for those on the right, both religious and secular. Which is why they found it perfectly acceptable for recent women’s marches, supposedly protesting a decade-old nasty Trump joke, to chant obscenities through a microphone and put on a display of vulgarity, filthy enough to make even Trump blush.
As a wise person once said: “There are none so blind as those who will not see.”
Enough already with the fake moral outrage.
Clear and simple, liberals hate Trump because he beat Hillary Clinton. Period. End of story. They are so overcome by anger and hatred, they fail to realize that until recently, Trump could have been their candidate.
I say “until recently” because Trump is transitioning…transforming…changing. Prayer works, and Trump’s blanketed…covered with it. Surrounding himself with some incredibly adept advisors doesn’t hurt either.
Another huge factor in this evolution is that with each fake news report or violent riot or piece of leaked information – Trump is becoming less like a liberal and more like Ronald Reagan. Who Trump was during the primaries is not who he is today.
Liberals can’t handle that this immoral man received a moral mandate to do what is right for America.
And, by gosh, he’s doing it, despite the snotty-nosed brats who continue to throw tantrums and wet their pants every time Trump takes positive action to restore America to her former greatness.
Trump made no pretense about who he was and is doing exactly what he said he would do versus the self-serving candidates liberals typically choose, who put on a mask of morality every election cycle.
That’s why their beloved former Sen. Harry Reid had no problem telling a bold-faced lie about Mitt Romney’s taxes during the 2012 presidential election. Years later, an unrepentant Reid justified his actions during a news interview where he refused to acknowledge wrongdoing saying, with an arrogant grin, “Well, they can call it whatever they want, Romney didn’t win, did he?”
The Washington Post gave three “Pinocchio’s” to the left’s “Coolest Prez, ever,” Obama, who made a campaign promise that insurance premiums would decrease under Obamacare. Obama was also responsible for this fish tale: “If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what.”
But we’re not supposed to notice the duplicity, we’re supposed to dwell on the good intentions of a party devoid of conscience.
Folks, this really isn’t about politics. I’m genuinely concerned some of our liberal friends are drowning in an ideology every bit as dangerous as Eve’s apple. Every time they take a bite, they are tempted to believe it’s okay to lie and hate and suppose they are morally superior to everyone else -- for absolutely no reason at all.
William F. Buckley once called it "moral elephantiasis."
Prisons are full up with liberals they live in a take all world and feel they are owed everything they are to lazy or to stupid to earn it.
Morality with no religious basis is an oxymoron. Without religion, and a sincere belief in a “day of judgment”, there can be no real morality, only a banding together for purposes of shaming the non-conforming members of the society.
Though shaming may be a tool of some kinds of morality, it is not the sum and substance of real morality. What is right in the eyes of a supreme deity, and what is wrong? Hard-won experience shows us over and over the deeper meaning behind the words of the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule.
But then, one would have to have at least some notion there IS a supernatural influence in all our lives.
And of course they see themselves as so much smarter than everyone else they must be singularly, unique and original. Never before seen in the history of the world. Really?
Scoreboard!
Huh. Really.
I was a National Review subscriber from the late 1970s until WFB passed away in 2008. I read every issue pretty much from cover to cover. I have no recollection of any anti-Second-Amendment language appearing in the magazine during that period of roughly thirty years.
I also don't recall seeing anything of a "globalist" nature in the magazine during that time.
You have aroused my curiosity; perhaps you could cite some specifics.
You bet but it'll have to wait till I get home from work. Testing is going on today and everybody is on pins and needles here in the state of Florida who teaches in the public schools. I'll try and post it around 7pm EST.
Moral relativism
“Liberalism’s Fake Sense of Morality”
To them, it is a completely legitimate and genuine code of morality, even though it’s not codified anywhere, with the exception of Rules for Radicals.
They are always on the moral high ground when they further the revolution and any act they do, that furthers it, is completely and irrefutably moral, true and correct.
There is no arguing with them.
It’s their way or the highway.
IMHO
It is the moral superiority of the “poor sod” who killed the unborn or was just a pedophile...
The response of the audience to Melania’s recitation of The Lord’s Prayer during Trump’s Florida rally and the spectacle of the response to the pastor and the vet in the Louisiana town hall meeting speaks volumes.
This from a great essay that was posted here last week:
So white western men or Christians can never be offended or hurt because they are themselves innately offensive and hurtful, while “powerless” women or minorities can never be other than their victims. In other words, such victim groups are given a free pass for their own questionable behaviour.
The reason these secular, individualistic and utilitarian ideologies are unchallengeable is that they’re held to represent not a point of view but virtue itself. That’s because they are all utopian. In their different ways, they represent an idea of the perfection of the world. So, class divisions would give way to equality, the capitalist despoliation of the planet would be replaced by organic communes and all hatred, prejudice and irrationality would be excised from the human heart.
Like all ideologies, these utopian fantasies wrench facts and evidence to fit their governing idea. Because they purport to embody unchallengeable truths, they can permit no dissent. Independent thought thus becomes impossible. Everyone who opposes them must be bad.
So there’s a moral imperative to drive dissenters out of civilised society altogether. For questioning multiculturalism, Trevor Phillips found himself accused of being a fellow-traveller of the truly neo-Nazi British National Party.
Reason has thus been supplanted by a secular inquisition, complete with an index of prohibited ideas. It is in effect a dictatorship of virtue, drawing upon the doctrine first promoted by Jean-Jacques Rousseau of forcing people to be free.
