Visitors from a Weird Planet

By Burt Prelutsky

When I tell liberals that I can’t figure them out, they tend to assume I’m owning up to my own intellectual shortcomings. They figure their thinking is so profound that it’s simply beyond the scope of little old me. Well, let them enjoy their fantasies. The truth is, I can’t fathom their belief system because it seems so divorced from reality that if we discovered tomorrow that, like the pods in the movie, “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” liberals only look like human beings, but are actually from outer space, I’d be the one saying, “Aha, now it all makes perfect sense.”

Back in the 1960s, the Democrats went in for social engineering in a big way. They concentrated particularly on black Americans. One of the first things they did was to increase welfare, but only to those homes that didn’t have men living in them. That not only created dependency on the part of black women and children, but, inevitably, led young blacks to grow up without male authority figures around to keep them in line. The results weren’t too great for the grown-ups, either. Single black mothers, often uneducated teenagers, were faced with the prospect of trying to raise and discipline unruly young guys; while far too many black men became as rootless and irresponsible as their offspring...

Did you put yourself on the Excerpt Only list? What do you do if you violate it, sue yourself?

” Some people, including a certain number of Republicans, wonder why I support John McCain ...”

Songbird doesn`t have a prayer.

He is 1. Running as a liberal

2. The conservative base will sit on it`s hands in Nov.

3. He`ll be up against the messiah, Barack Hussein.
Regardless of hussein`s relationship with racists,
hate-mongers, terrorists and marxists the masses
will vote for him.

4. The dominant media work for the DNC.

5. McCain will be branded as a war-monger 3rd Bush termer.

Liberals are helping blacks and other minoritys by murdering their babies.. dumbing down their children at school (all levels).. and making husbands an after thought to minority familys(and shacking up the norm),, also by promoting racism toward whites by Affirmative Action.. AND making those same minoritys the racists they are brain washed into believeing that is a bad thing.. i.e. Farrakand, Wright, Jackson, Sharpton..

Thats why blacks and other (minoritys) vote for the party that despises them.. The New York Jews should know better.. but being mostly Marxists they have OTHER problems.. Thats WHY THEY vote for the party that despises THEM..

I’m going to generalize here. In stating a generalization, I will tell you, I find my observation to be true in most cases. I will also tell you that since I’m generalizing, there are specific cases to disprove the generalization. The nature of the beast.

Liberals tend to be women.
Women are emotional beings. Women feel, and in general, allow emotions to override logic. Liberals behave the same.
So what does that say of male liberals?

Liberal = woman = sissified male.

Most liberals that I know don’t know how anything works or how to do much in the “real world”. They don’t know how an engine works. They would perish if dropped off in the Rocky Mountains with a map and a compass and told to find their way out. They are usually legends in their own mind.

Have you seen the movie “The Edge” with Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin? A perfect illumination of liberal uselessness.

I haven’t seen “The Edge”. For me, Atlas Shrugged summed it up pretty well.

Atlas Shrugged summed up almost everything for me, actually. "The Edge" is pretty close to being an Objectivist movie. It's considered by many to be Anthony Hopkins's best role.
