Because Growing Up Is So Very Hard To Do

Liberals: They produce nothing. They create nothing. They are the parasites that live off other people’s honest labor

Liberals like Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders represent the worst of America, children in grown-up positions, obstinate in their ignorance. They abhor free market capitalism, limited government, fiscal responsibility, faith-based anything except faith in government, self-determination, individual responsibility, anything traditional or time-tested. They assume they know everything and yet know nothing. President Reagan rightly observed: “It isn’t so much that liberals are ignorant. It’s just that they know so many things that aren’t so.”

These liberals, like so many other liberals, personify the ne’er-do-well student who has been sleeping soundly in class, having missed most of the lecture, suddenly wakes up and blurts out some incoherent dribble to attempt to make the rest of the class think he/she has a grasp of the subject matter when every word uttered says the opposite.

Liberals are such maturity snobs. They confuse PC with general civility, politeness and maturity but they’re the first to act like children when they can’t have things both ways.

The real socialists go and spend some time at the turnip commune.

Ever see Hillary or Bernie out digging turnips?

“Liberals: They produce nothing. They create nothing. They are the parasites that live off other people’s honest labor”

This is a truly moronic assertion - most of high tech has been produced by what we consider liberals, same with most entertainment and media content.

They’re also the producers of most political ideas and they have been winning the culture wars.

If we conservatives are going to prevail, we better start by facing reality and not delude ourselves with fantasies like this guy is doing.

You make a valid point. I think the problem is what they produce has had a negative effect on society. Sad to say, many in America are buying ever bit of their crap.

I have noticed over my years people who do drugs non-stop are frozen in the day they started doing them. Maybe I am full of it but I would like your input. Thanks.

“I think the problem is what they produce has had a negative effect on society.”

So the computer you’re typing on has had a bad effect, cell phones, search engines, most software, etc?

You have to be a lot more specific about what of what they produce is bad, and also give credit for what it’s good if you’re going to prevail.

Liberalism is a collective case of arrested development. Like children, liberals live in a fantasy world, where what they want to be true becomes true. They count on everyone else to protect them and safeguard their sensibilities, but they demand independence. They take no responsibility for their actions and the consequnces. They are governed by impulse rather than reason. And they resent the things other people have, and demand that they be given the same things (in the interest of "fairness") whether they have earned them or not.

Unfortunately for our country, such infantile values have come to shape our government as liberals -- children -- have been handed the reins to power. It's time the adults step back up and take over the household again.

Social(ist) media.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Journalists are critics, not doers, so they object to T. Roosevelt’s formulation above. They much prefer the formation of Elizabeth Warren:

“You did’t build that.”

. . . which has the exact opposite meaning. There is thus nothing strange that journalists are repulsed by capitalism and are attracted to socialism.

Mark Zuckerberg calls himself the “Leader of Facebook”. What the hell is it, the Nation of Facebook?
