I have long wondered about liberal intellectuals and their silence.
Obviously they agree with Obama philosophically but what about his
total lack of honesty, competency, and the propensity for scandal
within his administration? Are they in fear of fellow liberal travelers,
too afraid to speak out? Or, is honest objectivity a thing of the past
among these people? Or, have they drifted so far to the left that
like true Soviet style communists they now define truth as anything
that makes their side look good and the opposition conservatives look
bad?
I have come to realize that Leftists operate by their own toxic concoction of 1) Omerta and 2) Taqqiya. 1) Never speak out to reveal the corruption they know to be true for fear of literally lethal consequences, and 2) any lie is acceptable in order to obtain the collectivist fascism they so dearly want to exist. #1 explanins why there have ben so few “tell all” memoirs from the Xlintoon and Soetero cabals; they will simply become victims of Arkanicide if they do. #2 is equally simple, they see endemic lying as part of the equation.
The joke is they think they will be the overlords in the new collective.
