They also have a ‘fairness’ problem.
1) Don’t let your possessions rule you.
2) Accept that the concept of ‘risk’ is a daily occurrence.
3) Life is rough and often unfair.
4) Envy and coveting accomplish NOTHING.
5) Trust is to be earned...especially from politicians.
6) Leisure is a luxury
7) Self reliance is a virtue
8) We all are not equal...and will never be
9) Personal talent,innovation and ambition are NOT spread evenly among the human race.
Some have it some don’t.
10) You will be fighting for individual liberty from birth till death and if you fail
or give up then you will ‘governed’ by those who have little interest in your wants,needs or desires.
libs are nuts
(fewer words, means the same)
Don't they call themselves progressives these days?
Thus academics, journolists, politicians, movie stars, singers and big company CEOS tend to be Liberal because they don't actually have to work to pay the bills for their socialist utopia ideology.
Equality is not fairness. It is in fact the epitome of unfairness
I would add that those who can govern themselves capably have a much reduced urge to govern others. Those who want to rule others do so because they know they cannot control themselves.
This is the part of all philosophical conservative 'think' pieces that doesn't make any sense. It's a thought generated in 'sympathy' not 'empathy.' It can only be true if a large majority of Americans are also hopelessly stupid.
If that many Americans, that large majority, are hopelessly stupid, then the liberals are right. They do need controls set by liberals so the government can take care of them.
The fact is for most of my life the vast majority of Americans have been liberal. Even when the only philosophical conservative to be president in my life was elected in 1980, the American people gave him a radical liberal Congress as a foil.
As far as I know they still are liberal. When they prove otherwise at the ballot box themes such as this may be worth repeating. Otherwise, it's just wishful thinking.
The same is true with every subgroup that continues to vote the liberal agenda. They do so because they are liberal. The worst part of liberalism is it's a philosophy that attracts slave masters.
Another drawback is the closer the electorate gets to electing the perfect liberal, and today's electorate finally found a fascist i.e. the prefect liberal, to make President, the closer the electorate gets to self destruction.
Liberals fail to realize Utopia is only a dream.
You noticed too. I have a good friend who appears normal. But he has Bush Derangement syndrome. He thinks Olbermann is intellegent and he is unable to relate to opposite wiews based in logic and truth. He shuts down when confronted by reality. He makes statements such as ‘I do not mind paying taxes cause we need good roads’ and ‘Those rich people are too greedy’. STRANGE.
You’re neglecting altogether the possibility that there might be an occasional issue which the suckers might be right on. That’s inherently dangerous.
The reality thing is key. Whenever you come up with facts that provde them wrong, or their policies fail spectacularly, liberals ignore it or change the subject. They can’t be reasoned with.
Absolutely. They shut down all mental functions in the brain. They blank out. They become extremely agitated and nervous. I think it is some sort of hypnotic suggestion at play. They are unable to process any possibility that is contray to Liberalism. Amazing. They are like a Horse with blinkers on.
Not a bad analysis of liberal logic.
Yep. Freedom and responsibility go hand in hand. A decadent society is asking to be (and will be) ruled.
Universal suffrage guarantees a bad outcome. I don't see a positive resolution for the country as a whole.
Don't they call themselves progressives these days?
Professors are so isolated by groupthink they probably don't know 'liberal' is an offensive term. Not to worry - as time goes by, 'progressive' will become an offensive term too... Too bad liberals can't wipe out the meanings behind words - then they could stay with one brand name...
Odd...my college experience left me more actively conservative..
