The Democrat Party presidential debates have been so snooze-worthy, it's enough to make you wonder if maybe the Democrat National Committee should schedule future debates sometime between Bernie Sanders' and Hillary Clinton's afternoon naps and the senior citizen early bird hour over at Golden Corral.
At the very least, these Democrat candidates should chug some Geritol before taking the stage, which might inspire some positive policy proposals as opposed to all the misery they seem to find hiding under every rock across the country. In contrast, the message of real hope and change is coming from the other side of the political aisle. Strange thing is, Hillary and Bernie keep talking about how much America needs change. Don't they recall who has had the White House for almost eight years? I know, the memory is one of the first things to go.
Seasoned wisdom is supposed to come with age, but listen to any Democrat debate or speech these days, and rather than hearing hope, all you hear about is a world viewed through a prism of doom - selectively seeing things like victimization, despair, oppression, injustice and discrimination. Dwelling on negativity is unhealthy, and it represents a world view that is repulsive to those of us who refuse to be seen as weak, victimized, disenfranchised or controlled. And that, my friends, is a big reason why I cannot in good conscience align myself with liberalism.
The Bible says that without vision, without true hope, "people perish." No wonder Bernie and Hillary mope around like someone stole their three-wheel bicycles. I'd be mopey too if I actually believed we're all doomed unless the Democrat party steps in to save the world.
Here's truth: There is only one savior, and his name is not the Federal Government. Sorry, liberals, no matter how big you grow it, your government god cannot perform miracles, nor does it walk on water.
The positive messages and hearty debates (save a boor or two) on the Republican side provide inspiration and serve to remind voters the country is not as terrible as the Democrats would have us believe. Some of us actually believe there's such a thing as the American Dream and we know it's still attainable, just as long as the government gives people space to make it happen. Believing that doesn't make you "anti-government," just anti-big government.
The difference is huge and makes a big difference in how the two parties see the world.
As I've said before, those who believe they are forever a victim tend to assume zero responsibility for their situation and believe they have no control over the rising waters of their circumstances -- so they sit on the rooftop of their despair waiting for their government savior to come to the rescue. But it never does. Liberals believe that any malady known to man has absolutely nothing to do with poor choices, bad judgment or weak character - so they blame intangibles like capitalism, global warming, white privilege, "vast right wing conspiracies" and homemade videos. Oh, and guns and Christians and Bush. Definitely Bush.
Consider their accomplishments: Banning school prayer, legalizing abortion, secularizing society, replacing God with government and substituting reason for religion. And what do we get for this? We get a broken educational system, destruction of the nuclear family and self-serving people with no moral compass. And we also get two aged and tired politicians pushing a worn-out message.
With that kind of mindset, it's no wonder it's hard to find a truly happy liberal these days.
Without true hope people are also easy to control which, the further they sink, the easier the control becomes ... hence the uni-party system. American politicians saw what real hope would do in the late 60s and early 70s, so the one inspirational thing which America did, that not only inspired this country but the entire world, was canceled. Sic transit Apollo.
When did the left ever substitute reason for religion? They have substituted their state religion for the Judeo-Christian God on which America was built. There is no reason involved at all.
Their state religion worships and all-powerful government and discards reason, especially reason which is grounded on the tenets of Christianity and Judaism.
It must be terrible and exhausting to be a liberal.
Their lives are full of anger, hate, and dissatisfaction with the entire world they live in.
That makes them irritating to others in just about every way imaginable.
Here is one:
They don’t find anything in the world satisfactory or up to their standards.
To a liberal, everything is broken or in need of change.
And of course, only they know what is wrong and more importantly, how to fix it.
If it isn’t broken they manage to break it or mis-manage it to the point that it can no longer function.
Then they whine about it and complain that it needs to be changed.
But most things they consider broken aren’t really broken - it’s just that the liberals manage to break the rules and break the laws. They do everything possible to create havoc and make a policy or program ineffective.
They are saboteurs - throwing monkey wrenches into the cog-wheels of our culture, government, education, the legal system, the financial system and everything else they can get near.
Health care is broken, the military is broken, the immigration system is broken, the education system is broken.....
Consider the immigration system, as one example.
They don’t enforce immigration laws - In fact, they openly break them and help others do the same.
Then they holler “The system is broken!”
It’s not the immigration system that is the problem - it’s the criminals in office who betray the country.
Here’s another irritant:
Liberals are always mad at someone, something, or everyone and everything.
They walk around seething and blowing steam out of their ears.
Their speechifying is always full of angry screeching and hollering about fighting and war and confrontation.
They are always pushing back against their straw-man foes and “not taking it anymore”.
Whatever “it’ is.
Liberals are obsessed with confrontation and see everything in that context. war on women, war on blacks, war on homosexuals, religion, cops, students and unborn babies.
They see themselves closed in and beset by the constitution, glass ceilings, cultural mores, tradition and religion.
And damn it! They aren’t going to take it anymore!
Remember what Obama said: “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.”
“He who lives on a diet of Hope will die fasting’’.— Ben Franklin.
It must be terrible and exhausting to be a liberal.
My best friend, who is liberal to the core (opposites can be best friends!) says that she is totally lost this year... has no candidate she can support, does not like Bernie or Hillary, and just kept saying she has nowhere to go! Believe it or not, she watched the Republican debate on Saturday looking for someone she can vote fore! All I could think, after 40 years of friendship, was WOW WOW WOW...
With age comes wisdom. But sometimes age comes alone.
He who fasts too long dies — me
Do not set foot on the path of the wicked
or walk in the way of evildoers.
Avoid it, do not travel on it;
turn from it and go on your way.
For they cannot rest until they do evil;
they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.
- Proverbs 4:14-16
I don't think they know how to fix much; they only know how to throw money--other people's money--at things. They throw whatever money they can get their hands on, and declare it a success. Watch and listen to just about any politician, liberals especially, when they're stumping for votes.
