Exclusive: Why the Left’s Vision Is Blind to America’s Greatness
FamilySecurityMatters ^ | 8/13/07 | Luke Sheehan

Posted on 08/13/2007 8:22:32 PM PDT by captjanaway

A few weeks ago I was in attendance at a party at a friend’s house. We were lounging in the living room and my friend, a graduate of a small conservative liberal arts college and now active in the poor neighborhoods of Philadelphia, told a story of a former professor camping near the Mexican border. He was walking from his campsite to the parking lot and three Mexicans ran over a hill in the distance. The professor thought it strange but continued toward his car. As the three men drew closer he started to jog and they began to sprint toward him. He panicked and sprinted into the parking lot with the three men close behind him. A truck just leaving the parking lot slammed on its breaks, sped back in reverse to the professor. The driver leaped from his vehicle with a rifle. The Mexicans scattered and the day was saved.

It was an amusing story that the professor swears is true. One of the other party-goers became visibly angry, red-faced and shaking as he verbally reprimanded my friend. He declared the remarks inappropriate and racist, glaring and jabbing his finger at her he emphasized, “You know it and I know it.”

It always interests me that whenever one speaks of the criminal behavior of illegal aliens or any protected liberal group that those on the left jump to their feet to scream bigot as if the crimes or the behavior does not matter. As if ones color of skin or sexual disposition should provide a get out of free pass. What could be more ignorant than that?

I have come to despise the dirty process of debating leftists because you know that before the end of the debate they will roll out the bigot card or call you hateful when you are only being reasoned. They are right about one thing. I do hate. I do hate criminals who rape and attack violently innocents. I do hate those who would see this great country brought to its knees to achieve their socialist goals. I do hate those that express sympathies for the most oppressive dictators on earth turning a blind eye to the slaughter of freedom loving people who faced alone the red meat grinder of communism. I hate those who would leave us exposed to the threat of terrorism in efforts to make nice with those that seek the heads of those who value liberty.

They deserve our hate when they are so hateful. Someday they will find out how empty their empty headed accusations are when the barbarians have their heads on pikes and their flesh is food for ravens.

Ordinarily the FR spelling police are very annoying; but in this case I must point out a small error in your posting. The author’s name is Sheahan, not Sheehan. If you ask, the mods will correct your post.

Loved your post! Couldn’t have said it better myself. I too, have given up on debating with libs. The INTENTIONAL lack of logic and comprehension they bring to the table is infuriating! Intentional, yes I did say intentional - I’m convinced they do it on purpose, because they know (subconsciously if not consciously) that they will lose any logical argument.

Interesting site indeed. It sort of mainstreams and offers a gentle alternative to the leftist propoganda websites which themselves are cloaked as “family” oriented and mainstream. Now if only this website could turn out a magazine replete with not only these articles but information about sex, cosmetics, recipes, etc....

We need to hand out maps to the homes of liberals to immigrant thieves.

Oops... Thanks a bunch! I try to be more careful with my spelling, especially with people’s names!

This reminds me of a story told to me by the owner of a successful furniture factory. This was in the early 1980’s when I was just starting my accounting practice, and I was buying some furniture for my office in the factory outlet.

The owner’s son was a student at Temple U, in about 1980. In his economics class the professor was telling the class that the American dream was dead, and that no more great fortunes would be accumulated. In the last year of the Carter administration, in defense of this professor, it might have appeared on the surface to be true.

The student (son of the furniture manufacturer) raised his hand, and pointed out that his father was rapidly approaching a million dollar net worth. The professor’s response was pretty much, “sit down, shut up, I teach, you learn.”

He obviously had not yet heard of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Donald Trump, or a myriad of others who were in the process of creating great fortunes in the naiscent high tech industries, real estate, and other, less glamorous areas. And if he had, he probably would have accused them of cheating and stealing, at best, and at worst, pronounced their ventures doomed to failure.

Thanks. I believe they think the end justifies the means so that whatever means they must use to achieve their view of a socialist liberal utopia whether it be based in what they know to be “reality” or not. I don’t think they really care. I mean what kind person asks the question “who are the terrorists” when talking about our soldiers if they don’t believe there is some degree of equivalence? Then they have the gall to whine when someone calls them to the mat for the only logical interpretation of their banal comment. The left should be debated as if they are not there.

The way I debate with challenged individuals is to stick to the core point and keep reemphasizing it. Liberals count on their ability to trick others into following them onto irrational emotional ground. So one never asks the question whether the claims of the liberal are correct or based on fact but instead end up caught up in a stupid argument about women and coat hangers and gay men getting beat up and brown skin men the who are victims of the guns they wield in the commission of crime.

Just the other day I was talking with some people at lunch and the topic of legalizing drugs came up and the assertion was made that when drugs are legalized that crime and usage decreases. I pointed out accurately that was just not true and that it was a myth. The sad thing is that most liberal myths are not even debatable. They have no foundation in reality and exist solely in the minds of those who make them up.

It reminds me of a discussion I had with a young emptyheaded girl when I was in high school. We were having a discussion and she arrived at the conclusion that history was not real!
How in the hell do you debate people who accept nothing as reality that does not confirm what they already think to be true? I want to scream when I encounter radical indistinctiveness where the most ignorant assertions are given the same status as well reasoned ideas supported by known verifiable facts.
