It Cannot Be That Liberals Are Wrong About Everything
American Thinker.com ^ | July 13, 2021 | Christopher Chantrill

Posted on 07/13/2021 3:42:28 AM PDT by Kaslin

I took a look at my recent AT articles and I apologize. I have been dancing around the elephant in the room. The only thing that matters in America right now is that liberals got everything wrong. And they can’t believe it. They won’t believe it. They dare not believe it.

When was the last time a New York Times writer said that the trouble with the labor and pro-union legislation of the 1930s is that it led directly to the overpriced manufacturing union labor of the 1970s? In the long run, it Made Things Worse for the white working class that, experts agree, is now “dying of despair.”

When was the last time a New York Times writer said that the trouble with Social Security is that it has shoveled boatloads of money at okay Boomers like me. It has Made Things Worse for today’s workers who are now, some experts agree, saddled with cruel taxes as far as the eye can see.

When was the last time a New York Times writer said that the trouble with the Civil Rights Act was that it could never compensate for the fact that blacks score a whole standard deviation lower on IQ than whites… So all the programs and quotas and diversities and inclusions and race cards of the last 50 years, experts dare not agree, have actually Made Things Worse for blacks.

And so on.

Inconceivable!

The invisible hand of freedom is the best guide.

Liberalism is a chronic, no-cure, mental disease.
Once that is realized, it explains everything.

Progressives are adult children: adult bodies housing minds with the intellect of a thirteen year old adolescent in puberty.

High emotion, low reason. Little self-control. Are obsessed with sex. Need heaps of praise. Cannot handle public failure or error. Are obsessed with sex. Don’t know much of the real world yet. Throw tantrums when unhappy. Are obsessed with sex. Like to belittle grownups. Make poor decisions. Are obsessed with sex.

They aren't ignorant, it's a strategy. It's intentional. Full control of 14% of the vote to take and retain control of large cities, states and then government is their strategy and it has worked exceedingly well.

The absolute destruction of the black American family was intentional and no one bats an eye because their narrative is that the black underclass is uneducated. So they double down on every failed program decade after decade after decade.

They aren't ignorant they're diabolical.

So, I am probably going to upset some people, but the left is not wrong about everything.

Fundamental environmental things, to preserve and protect for the future. Worker safety. Education (not Marxist education). Free thinking and new ideas, like computers. New industries.

The problem with the left, like unbridled capitalism, is the excesses. Moderation, and understanding all sides is important. We used to have a dialog in this nation. We used to have sanity. We used to have a voice, everyone had a voice. The left, when it infiltrates government, quickly becomes fascist.

Now I am back to my premise. The Republic could survive the debate, it was designed to. The Republic was, and cannot be, functional with those without a moral compass. When Government becomes corrupt, and we have a non-justice system, differential prosecution, open Bribery (see Biden Laptop), silencing opposition by oppression, and finally sham voting.

The left has embraced the above because it’s logical debate failed. The left has embraced those forces that would destroy the Republic because it feels morally superior (like the NAZI,s did) to everyone else. The justification, of save the planet, allows them to differentiate those that question their non-sense and vilify them.

The left hasn’t been wrong about everything, but they have doubled down on the mistakes and have subverted the Republic to avoid responsibility for those mistakes. Eventually, when they no longer can debate these failures, they turn to government to oppress. Here we are. Now, we have failed policies, failed government, and probably corrupt elections moving rapidly to fascism because they cannot be accountable.

Yes they are.

Because they lie about everything, their acts and bill titles are often the opposite of the enacting language. What they actually represent does not serve the American People, but rather unions, criminals or government entities. (themselves)

The RATs are the absolute enemy of the people.

I've always maintained conservative ideas can be more effectively advanced and won with a sugar sweet introductory :

"Great ideas, if they work, but they do not........"

Idealism vs reality. Deal with things and people as they are, not as they wish them to be.

"Beautiful thought..... Does not and has not worked."

Get rid of the labor unions and the threat of unionizing, and half of our off-shored work comes back. Pull back on regulations, particularly pollution, and most of the remainder will come back.

Despite what many here may think, business leaders in the US did NOT want to set up shop overseas, they prefer to see their families every day and spend months or years halfway around the world.

...but when forced into it, they responded in the only way possible.

“These commie bastards do not care about reality. They are only concerned with power....by any means.”

Unfortunately few outside our relatively small club realize that...most people who support Republicans figure that Democrats are also good people, but just misguided a bit.

No different than the Jews who would laugh and say “Hitler’s just saying that to get attention. He’s not serious.”

Yes, it’s true. Even when they are right, they are right for the wrong reason! Their worldview is fundamentally wrong, so they are incapable of perceiving the world correctly.

Liberalism is a mental disorder with no cure.

They simply DO WRONG on everything.

....and have many unwanted Unintended Consequences that are usually worse than anything they attempted to fix. And then complain about THAT.
