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?

Oh yeah. I call it the self righteousness of leftist “values”. They’re as pure as the wind driven snow. In reality they hold to a philosophy that would be hard to distinguish from a steaming pile in that field of snow.

Liberals have an internal need to burn the world down, before they are willing to realize the wrongness of their ways.

It is primarily why this planet willbecjne a prison planet.

And the reality is that Liberals can never get anything right.

Perversion, degradation, depravity, these are liberal core values.

Pro-crime, pro-illegal-invasion, pro-unborn-child-murder.

Anti-taxpayer, anti-Christian, anti-law.

The 2020 American Democrat Party Platform.

Contrast their attitude with the perpetually apologizing mindset of Bush era Republicans.

Just to add the obvious, if something turns out good they either did it or had a part in, if it turns out bad it’s someone else’s fault. NO personal responsibility.

Remember folks, leftists murder babies and argue such an act is a positive outcome. They really do believe murder is a good thing.

Buy weapons and ammo, folks. Leftists (i.e. Liberals or democrats) also believe murdering you and I is a good thing. However, they do not do jt because the 2nd amendment is a God given right to self defense and the leftists know they risk their own worthless neck if they try to murder those who have the ability to fight back.

So, for now, they satisfy their blood lust murdering innocent babies.

For every Yin, there’s a Yang, for every God, there’s a Satan, if they can do no right, then it stands they also can do no wrong...it would upset the balance of the universe...

Well, I don’t know... recently they’ve expanded into sending plague-ridden patients into nursing homes so they can wipe out vast numbers of those nasty old people who probably vote for the Orangeman anyway.

Which is why they refuse to follow the Constitution as written, and also why they have evolved from Blue Dog Dem patriots to pestilential liberal fascists bent on a nanny state Utopia, imposed by force if necessary.

And eventually this fact may kill the majority of them.

… Because they would be God.

That is not necessarily all you need to know about why liberals do what they do but it is essential. One cannot understand liberals without understanding their fundamental, unrelenting quarrel with the first and second commandments.

As God they would opportunistically expropriate godlike qualities of infallibility, omniscience, benevolence and omnipotence.

Those who oppose the benevolence of these gods must be possessed of antipodal character and motivations. Hence, those who disagree cannot be well-intentioned but evil, not omniscient but stupid, not infallible but always wrong.

Because they are not God but human, leftists create their own epistemology which has varied forms but the best single place to look is at The Frankfurt School which lays down a catechism the essence of which is to destroy the Judeo-Christian insight enriched by our experience of the Enlightenment and substitute a nihilistic philosophy of "critical thinking" which permits the God player to conveniently dismiss any evidence which might stand in the way of coming to any conclusion he wishes.

Freed of logic, the next step is to free the leftist God player of morality. Look to Alinsky's Rules for Radicals as a primer of immorality and political dirty tricks.

… Because they would be God

The problem now is that their values are getting people killed.

Libtard value list:

1. Islam should go ahead and replace Christianity, because its pro big government. So the next generation will see explosions in super markets and malls, every month, every week. Body parts littering the floors.

2. The constitution says whatever they say it says, on any given day. Effectively, we have no constitution according to half the people in the country. Just make it up as they go along. Results? More and more riots as each offended group demands more and more reparations and handouts. Because the constitution gives them any right they can make up.

3. Guns are bad. So we get to the point that a Libtard decides to confiscate all guns, and the civil war starts in earnest.

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

We live in a state dominated by a religious cult, with its attendant cult thinking. The author’s description of the dems’ thinking is that of a religious cult.

Hmmm...someone else a long time ago wanted to exalt himself up to the status of God...Now, if I can only remember who that was.

It’s hard to do anything wrong when you believe you can redefine morality to suit your behavior.
