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.

Why not hate those that want to shut you up, use violence to get their way, lie constantly, insist on their way or the highway, believe that they have a right to take what you own and to compel you to behave as they wish?

Because hate is a destructive emotion, that typically damages the wielder much worse than the target. And a lot of liberals were indoctrinated by their families, and are potentially savable. I see them as children who are lost and victims of improper upbringing in most cases. The most evil ones, that appear unreachable, I try to pray for. In worst cases, such as when they attempt violence, then we must respond with violence to defend ourselves. But not in joy, but rather in pity.

“Because hate is a destructive emotion”

That is right, and if they want to destroy me I want to destroy them, and if not destroy them at a minimum get them out of my life,so they no longer impact me.

“In worst cases, such as when they attempt violence, then we must respond with violence to defend ourselves “

Apparently you feel the same way.

” But not in joy, but rather in pity.”

Neither in joy nor in pity, but in self preservation.

During the final months of the recent Presidential campaign, I began to refer the Ms. Clinton as “Hitlery, the venomous harridan.” Mirriam-Webster defines “venomous” as “expressing very strong hatred or anger” and “harridan” as “an angry and unpleasant woman : shrew.”

As the campaign wore on, it occurred to me that Tim Kaine, Chuckie Schumer, Bernie Sanders (and other males of the Democrat persuasion) were the male equivalents of a venomous harridan. I knew of no word in the English language for the male equivalent of a harridan.

Then, I asked my FReeper FRiends for a suggestion of a word we could use to describe the male equivalent of a venomous harridan. The consensus was that “asshole” was a perfect term to use when describing male Democrats of the Schumer, Kaine, Sanders wing of the Democrat Party.

Lo and behold, Mirriam-Webster’s definition is perfect: “a stupid, annoying, or detestable person!”

So, there we have it: Venomous harridans and venomous assholes constitute the Democrat Party!

I have known for many years such a “Southern con artist’ who is so much physically and vocally like Bill Clinton that it gave me chills and also a better understanding of Clinton. Claud’s politics have always been pretty much the politics of the people he wanted something from and he could be eloquent from either side of the divide. He had an easy time with women. He could knife you in the back and the next day greet you like an old friend. He is 6 feet 2 and had Bill C’s hair and is the same age as BC (and me)He has no hair now and is sill the shape Bill had pre-emaciation. Either man could sell the proverbial freezers to Inuits at twice normal price. Both still have odd women hanging around. Bill always sold politics. Claud sold jewelry at big fairs and expositions.
