The Liberal Lie So Big It May One Day Split the Country

“Civilization has been aptly called a ‘thin crust over a volcano.’ (Liberals) are constantly picking at that crust.” -- Thomas Sowell

After Hollywood jackass Jimmy Kimmel was criticized for exploiting his son’s illness to push his political agenda and incorrectly insinuating that surgeries for newborns weren’t covered before Obamacare, he did a follow-up on the subject where he said, “I would like to apologize for saying that children in America should have health care. It was insensitive, it was offensive, and I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.”

This is a great example of what may be the most annoying, dishonest thing that liberals habitually do.

Jimmy Kimmel favors a certain political policy. It’s one that has been a disaster for tens of millions of Americans, including a lot of children.

Jimmy Kimmel could have said, “Obamacare may not be perfect and it may have been sold with a lot of lies, but I believe it’s worth it for everyone else to pay more so the small percentage of the population with pre-existing conditions and no insurance can be covered.” That pitch may not be a political winner, but at least it would be an honest argument.

Instead, Kimmel is essentially arguing that ONLY people who agree with him care about the healthcare of children and the rest of us want children to die.

This sort of rhetoric has become commonplace on the Left and it’s not just dishonest, it’s evil. It’s bad for the country. It could even potentially split the country apart one day because we won’t be able to continue to live with each other. In fact, we’ve already reached the point where California’s threats to secede are being met with cries of “faster please, what can we do to help?” from millions of conservatives.

Yes, it may currently give liberals some small temporary political advantage to claim that everyone who doesn’t support gay marriage hates gays, everyone who doesn’t think rape culture exists supports rape, that everyone who doesn’t back free birth control for women hates them, everyone who wants to stop illegal immigration hates Latinos and that everyone who doesn’t want to tear down Confederate statues hates black Americans, but it also injects pure poison into our culture.

If you believe someone doesn’t want kids to have healthcare, hates gays, hates women, hates minorities and wants more rapes to happen, you will probably detest that person. However, liberals seldom consider that the reverse of this is also true. You will also probably detest people who falsely accuse you of not wanting kids to have healthcare, hating gays, hating women, hating minorities and wanting more rapes to happen. In the Palestinian territories or Syria, there might be significant numbers of people who believe many of those aforementioned beliefs. In America, there are very few. What this means is that there are large numbers of people liberals have inspired hatred towards via falsehoods and also large numbers of people who’ve grown to abhor liberals after being targeted by their lies.

Put another way, liberals are CREATING an America where it’s natural to HATE people of differing political views. Not disagree with, HATE.

My initial reaction to hearing Jimmy Kimmel’s, I would like to apologize for saying that children in America should have health care,” comment was thinking that I’d enjoy punching him in his smug face.I have no doubt that vast numbers of people that liberals dishonestly call racists, misogynists and homophobes feel exactly the same way. Of course, it’s one thing to feel that way and it’s another to actually do it or suggest others do it as many liberals do. We have left-wingers rioting in the streets to stop people they disagree with from speaking at colleges and publicly encouraging each other to physically attack Nazis, while accusing pretty much everyone who doesn’t toe the liberal line of being a Nazi.

We’ve gotten to the point where someone as inoffensive as Betsy DeVos can’t even give a commencement speech at Bethune-Cookman University without gaggles of idiots screaming and booing. If those liberals can’t even show a modicum of courtesy for Betsy DeVos at a commencement speech, how do they work with people they disagree with? How do they go to church with them? How do they date? How do they share the same space? If the answer is, “They can’t do any of those things,” then how do we ultimately share the same country?

I have a left-wing acquaintance who is still endlessly complaining about Hillary Clinton getting coverage from the very liberal mainstream media that was too negative for his taste. When I noted that Hillary may have gotten some harsh coverage at times, but Trump’s coverage was much worse, I was told in so many words that, “Yes, but Trump deserved it.” Similarly, have you noticed that liberals don’t seem to accept and respect the fact that conservatives found Obama just as loathsome as they find Trump?

It’s the liberal mentality that says, “People who disagree with us on anything are racist, sexist, homophobic and evil. Therefore, we don’t have to treat them fairly. Therefore, their concerns are irrelevant. Therefore, it’s acceptable to lie about them, take away their rights or even use the IRS or legal system to mistreat them. Therefore, they don’t matter. At all.”

I loathe liberalism, but I don’t hate liberals. I would not be okay with lying about them, preventing them from speaking at universities or attacking them because of their political views. I think a lot of liberals are deeply misguided and put their emotions above logic and the good of the country, but I don’t think most of them are evil. Unfortunately, many liberals don’t afford conservatives that same courtesy and one day, that may split the country because what brings us together as a nation is becoming smaller than the liberal hatred that is dividing us.

This is the thinking that has led to massive pogroms, time after time. Over 100 million people died in the last century because of this thinking.

I used to think that Americans were above this kind of thinking until the day Bill Clinton was elected president. Then I realized that the kind of thinking that makes people believe they are justified in exterminating other people for having differing opinions can be indoctrinated in people of any nationality.

I do not fault people for falling for the liberal narrative that liberals are more compassionate and caring than anyone else. But when they purposefully continue to spout that narrative once they have seen the evidence otherwise, then I can only conclude that they *are* evil.

I think they are just trying to cover up the fact that they are stalling in order to protect the stuff they crammed through at the beginning of Obama’s term.

They know that the country will hate them if they just stop working and boycott the nation’s business, so they are trying to dress it up with all sorts of emotional appeals by hysterically greeting every action, even something as sensible as firing that loon Comey.

It’s pretty insulting of the public’s intelligence actually.

Bottom line, the most justifiable legitimate argument is that they are paying back obstruction for obstruction, but in truth, it is just trying to protect the stuff they put through that made the voters angry enough to kick them out of office to begin with.

Good point. The American Left has descended into raw tribalism. They have no ideas and are incapable of articulating a program. The only thing they believe is that the rights enshrined in our Constitution apply only to themselves.

Honestly, I anticipate that I am going to feel a strange sense of relief when they finally stage a riot big enough to get the attention of regular Americans.

They are emotional children and intellectually lazy as well. They don’t want to acknowledge the other side of the argument, they want it not to be there. Obamacare is such a running disaster because they couldn’t accept any input that wasn’t wholehearted praise. No one could point out the slightest problem or incorrect assumption without becoming a pariah.

As they repeatedly fail the need for villains to explain that failure arises so they never have to admit they were wrong. Perplexed by the inability to succeed, they throw their efforts into dealing with with their chosen villains.

This is why communism is so bloody.

I think a lot of liberals are deeply misguided and put their emotions above logic and the good of the country, but I don’t think most of them are evil.

Destroying our Republic, crushing Free Speech, ridiculing Christianity, advocating snuffing-out the lives of the unborn, and destroying the family unit are manifestly evil.

Liberalism, and thus Liberals, are evil. And yes, I hate Liberals.
