5 Uncomfortable Truths About Liberals
Townhall ^ | Mar 27, 2012 | John Hawkins

Posted on 10/21/2019 7:18:08 PM PDT by TBP

When one becomes a liberal, he or she pretends to advocate tolerance, equality and peace, but hilariously, they’re doing so for purely selfish reasons. It’s the human equivalent of a puppy dog’s face: an evolutionary tool designed to enhance survival, reproductive value and status. In short, liberalism is based on one central desire: to look cool in front of others in order to get love. Preaching tolerance makes you look cooler, than saying something like, “please lower my taxes” — Greg Gutfeld

1) Most liberals are hateful people.

2) Liberals do more than any other group to encourage race-based hatred.

3) Most liberals are less moral than other people.

4) Most liberals don't care if the policies they advocate work or not.

5) Most liberals are extremely intolerant.

1) Most liberals are hateful people...

I will go to the site to read up on this one but I think this may have changed a lot in the past few decades.

I got sick at 37, almost 15 years ago now.

I worked in a graphics dept of about 40 liberals and me :)

WOW did we argue.

But not about what a man or woman was!!!

Or if prisons should pay for sex change operations!!

And they were VERY, VERY generous to me when I went on disability.

When I finally realized it would be a multi year recovery, they bought me yearly subscriptions to things that cost a pretty penny, they gave me cash and nice amounts, heartwarming cards.

These were people ALREADY in their 30s and 40s.

INSANE. :) But not cruel or hateful or lying to themselves about what was male and what was female.

I dunno. Maybe I just won their respect.

But I did consider a number of them Good but Incredibly Misguided people.

I doubt one could say that today about the average liberal.

And I wonder what those folks who are now my age think about the current agenda.

Most libs are socialists and deliberately put forth polices they know wont work for their stated goals,but will help them further current conditions to a state of chaos they can use to achieve their real goals, via the hegelian dialectic.

I knew what you meant to type i’m not one of the word police.

In fact didn’t notice til you mentioned it lol

WHAT DO WE DO with these good hearted people who vote INSANE!?!?

And I don’t try to guess where people go after they die. God’s SO MUCH better at it than me.

But the GOOD people who helped you and me support abortion.

I think many REALLY don’t see the child as a human yet or have some warped idea of the mother’s rights.

Anyway, they may say I’m a sick warmonger for wanting tons of the best weapons ad the most damaging.

It is what it is.

I hope you are faring much better and I am glad you had/have good friends, whatever their political/religious beliefs.

dem or R, a friend is someone who is walking in when everyone else is walking out

Conservatives Work Harder, Feel Happier, Have Closer Families, Take Fewer Drugs, Give More Generously, Value Honesty More, Are Less Materialistic and Envious, Whine Less … and Even Hug Their Children More Than Liberals.”

Number 6 ... They are:

Academic studies from Stanford University and others have found that those on the political left are five times more likely to use heavy drugs such as heroin, meth amphetamines and cocaine . . . Another survey found that Democrats were five times more likely to use marijuana than Republicans . . .

“A study published in the American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse found that among heavy drug users and alcoholics, the ratio of Democrats to Republicans was more than 8 to 1.

Liberals are 5 times more likely to be clinically depressed and 13 times more likely to be manic depressive.

liberals are more motivated by money than are conservatives, are much angrier than conservatives, give less to charity, and are more likely to believe in ghosts, ESP, and reincarnation.

[...] makes you look cooler, than saying something [...]

Unnecessary comma here.

Good intentions form the pathway to....I will let you finish that statement.

Good people who do bad things are....bad people and thus never good in the first place. We are defined by our actions not our intentions. Also, just because they did nice things for you can never make up for how they are adding to the flood that is destroying our society.

I learned the following phrase, “No drop of water thinks it is responsible for the flood.” Those liberal friends are also each “ a single drop of water” adding to the destruction of society regardless of whether they helped you in your time of need.

Reminds me of the "You just might be a liberal . . ." jokes that were going around for a while.

If you are a vegan and eat organic foods, but take drugs, you just might be a liberal.
