It is important that everyone keep in mind that the way Obamacare was passed in Congress is the SOP for Liberalism. Deliberately deceive and lie. Pursue Fabian Socialism while claiming you’re not. Denigrate legitimate questions. Create class envy and hate. And imply racism towards anyone who has the nerve to point out that the policies and plans do not add up.
David Horowitz, June 2000: ...........The first truth about leftist missionaries, about believing progressives, is that they are liars. But they are not liars in the ordinary way, which is to say by choice. They are liars by necessityoften without even realizing that they are. Because they also lie to themselves. It is the political lie that gives their cause its life.
Why, for example, if you were one of them, would you tell the truth? If you were serious about your role in humanitys vanguard, if you had the knowledge (which others did not), that you were certain would lead them to a better world, why would you tell them a truth that they could not understand and that would hold them back?
If others could understand your truth, you would not think of yourself as a vanguard. You would no longer inhabit the morally charmed world of an elite, whose members alone can see the light and whose mission is to lead the unenlightened towards it. If everybody could see the promised horizon and knew the path to reach it, the future would already have happened and there would be no need for the vanguard of the saints.
That is both the ethical core and psychological heart of what it means to be a part of the left. That is where the gratification comes from. To see yourself as a social redeemer. To feel anointed. In other words: To be progressive is itself the most satisfying narcissism.
That is why it is of little concern to them that their socialist schemes have run aground, burying millions of human beings in their wake. That is why they dont care that their panaceas have caused more human suffering than all the injustices they have ever challenged. That is why they never learn from their mistakes. That is why the continuance of Them is more important than any truth.
If you were active in the so-called peace movement or in the radical wing of the civil rights causes, why would you tell the truth? Why would you tell people that no, you werent really a peace activist, except in the sense that you were against Americas war. Why would you draw attention to the fact that while you called yourselves peace activists, you didnt oppose the Communists war, and were gratified when Americas enemies won?
What you were really against was not war at all, but American imperialism and American capitalism. What you truly hated was Americas democracy, which you knew to be a sham because it was controlled by money in the end. Thats why you wanted to Bring the Troops Home, as your slogan said. Because if Americas troops came home, America would lose and the Communists would win. And the progressive future would be one step closer...........
