Liberals Don’t Believe They’re Capable Of Doing Anything Wrong
Townhall.com ^ | May 24, 2010 | Derek Hunter

One thing you notice when having a conversation with a committed liberal is you’d have a more productive and honest discussion with a shoe. An old, worn-out shoe. Normally, this phenomenon could be chalked up to ignorance – stupid people are, well, stupid. But many of these people are not stupid, at least not in the traditional sense. It’s arrogance, a kind of arrogance that can only come from indifference to anything contrary to what they want.

You see this manifest itself in reaction to the reaction to the documents exposing how the Obama administration spied on the Trump campaign. You also see it in the glee from leftists whenever they have the opportunity to report bad news about Hydroxychloroquine. And we saw it again Friday when Joe Biden casually dropped a racist comment in a radio interview. None of these people honestly believe they are capable of doing anything wrong because progressives don’t believe anything can be wrong when they do it in the name of their agenda.

Lying isn’t wrong if it’s done in the cause of righteousness. Theft isn’t wrong if it’s done for altruistic purposes. Murder isn’t wrong if it’s a bad person killed. Taken to their logical extremes you get the horrors of fascism and communism, but these people refuse to see that. One person, or a few people, even a lot of people, harmed in the name of the “greater good” is not a tragedy. It’s a statistic.

General Michael Flynn’s rights were trampled, his life destroyed, and he only agreed to plead guilty after financial ruin and the threat/promise of the same being brought upon his son, but so what? He worked for Donald Trump, and Donald Trump is bad. Anything done in opposition to “bad” is inherently good, or so the logic goes.

What do the civil rights of one man matter, or many people working on a campaign matter, when the campaign is for someone they view as the new Hitler?

Of course, using fascistic tactics to combat perceived fascism is the basis of ANTIFA, the enforcement wing of the Democratic Party. The concept behind those tactics are now the norm for the party as a whole.

Barack Obama is exposed as, at a minimum, completely aware of the spying. Obama was informed by the people who knew there was absolutely nothing to the collusion lie, but Obama justifies it because it’s Donald Trump. Donald Trump has to be bad. Trump supports positions opposite Democrats, and Democrats are all good. Anything is justified.

I’ve personally seen people gleefully greet unfavorable studies about Hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19 as something to be grateful for. Why? Do they want people to die? No. But that’s the result.

There are more studies and anecdotal stories of Hydroxychloroquine helping than hurting, but those don’t make the social media feeds or leave the lips of these people. Many may not even be aware of their ghoulish behavior and hypocrisy, too satisfied in the warmth of what they view as a political victory, but it is gross. Somewhere out there, people whose lives could be improved or saved by Hydroxychloroquine will refuse to take it because of the enthusiasm with which the “dangers” of the drug are reported. They don’t care.

Then there’s Joe Biden. The senile, presumptive Democratic nominee said Friday, “If you’ve got a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or for Trump, then you ain’t black.” Democrats went from feeling entitled to own black people to feeling entitled to own the votes of black people.

When Biden said out loud what Democrats whispered to each other for decades, people were rightly disgusted. But he’s their candidate, so the left scrambled to justify and explain away his words. New York Times “Journalist” and 2020 Pulitzer Prize winner Nikole Hannah-Jones tweeted, “There is a difference between being politically black and being racially black. I am not defending anyone, but we all know this and should stop pretending that we don’t.” She seems like she’d be a lot of fun at parties, doesn’t she?

At the Washington Post, two quick attempts to keep everyone from acknowledging the obvious were made. The first was by Jonathan Capehart, who cartwheeled his way through a piece insisting Biden’s racism “was clearly a joke.” He spends a lot of time picking out quotes and giving them new context, making him the only joke in the whole ordeal.

Then the Post’s Paul Waldman took his bite at the apple with, “How to think about Joe Biden’s gaffes.” Waldman absolves Joe by declaring he is “sometimes captured by problematic assumptions and ways of speaking that used to be much more acceptable among white people than they are now.” In 1992, Ross Perot was attacked as racist for saying “you people” to a crowd that happened to be black, but Biden’s long history of racist comments are simply his inability to adapt to acceptable speech he and his party have been leading the fight to create over 30 years?

In other words

Joe Biden is really old and has Senior Moments with ever increasing frequency.

But, Joe has good intensions, so you should forgive or at least ignore his obvious racism.

And by the way, those other guys on the Right, despite any evidence to the contrary, are racist and you should hate them.

So libtards aren’t just stupid, they’r dangerous.

When someone believes that they have all the answers and as a consequence they should be given the powers of unlimited government they should be locked up and be put on mind altering drugs.

Without a God Centered sense of Right and Wrong, many are swayed by the spirit of the age, which changes as Satan blinds the people to God’s Love

From a facebook post by Susan Ruderman
(yes that’s her name) on the timeline
of liberal media critic Dan Kennedy:

“Biden is horrible. He was close to the last person (well, other than Marianne Williamson) I wanted to see emerge as the nominee. He should be settling into retirement and resting on his laurels rather than running for President. *But* I have said since the beginning that he most likely had the best chance of beating Trump and pulling back the Obama-Obama-Trump voters. And the idea of a Biden/Harris ticket appealed to me from the start. Biden is the nominee. He is not going to be replaced (and, frankly, shouldn’t be. The will of voters other than me has been expressed.) I would vote for Donald Duck before I would vote for Donald Trump, and at least Biden is better than a Disney character.”

Biden the nominee—hey at least this year the Dems won’t be nominating yet another
old rich white man who’s been in politics
and “part of the problem” for decades (/sarcasm).

They want a female running mate on the ticket so they can claim to be the party of the first female POTUS when slow Joe dies in office.

Michael Koenig on facebook:
“The thing that most people seem to be missing is that Charlamagne tha God was giving Biden an opportunity to address a glaring weakness. While Biden (and Clinton) have had strong support among older African American voters, many younger African Americans didn’t turn out in 2016, one of the factors that enabled Trump to win Pennsylvania and Michigan.”

Stephen Walker, facebook:”Worst start to a campaign since Dukakis. Not a word from Joe about what he would be doing right now if president, and nothing about what he would do to help Blacks and others if elected. Why isn’t he championing Dem plans for relief? With COVID preventing campaign rallies, he should be visiting local TV stations in WI and MI for interviews. His use of the word AIN’T when talking was a nice touch, like when Hillary used to find a southern accent when speaking to Black audiences. Joe and his team are unprepared for what is coming at them.”

Dukakis had a 17 point lead in the polls at one point.He went on to win 10 states.

I believe that the vast majority of Americans see right through these left wing apologists and, come November, will go to the polls in droves to repudiate these intellectual fools.

Liberalism is a satanic religion. Their sacrificial element is the aborted fetus; not Jesus. They are narcissistic beyond all reason. They CANNOT be reasoned with or made to acknowledge the truth when it is presented to them. I have a Lib relative who told me it was acceptable to abort a baby in the third trimester. I said how about the 4th trimester and he said yes. He got pi$$ed when I told him he was for murdering his newborn grandson.

The universe is not balanced by evil, it is unbalanced by it.

Yin yang is a justification for evil.

Always seems to circle around the drain of “you can be as gods” doesn’t it?

Back to that fate filled day in the garden.

There is no introspection. Look at all these journalists. Journalists continually lie about what Trump does to make him look bad. They leave out positive news and create bad news.

If a journalist lies to make Trump look bad, and all his colleagues are also lying, and they all know that they are all lying, doesn’t that have to mean that their entire world view is all lies?

Someone who has enough brain power and introspection to consider this at all has to immediately come to the conclusion that the other side must be right if my side is entirely, completely built on lies.
