20 Things Liberalism Is….

1) ….idiots who think the police can keep us safe from criminals without ever accidentally hurting thugs who are resisting them and think the CIA can get information out of terrorists by giving them lattes, fluffing their pillows, and hugging them until they give in.

2) ….encouraging sexually deviant behavior at every turn, teaching young children about fisting and graphic gay sex, laughing at people who encourage modesty, and then demanding that college kids give formal consent before they kiss each other.

3) …a bunch of morons "occupying" a public park for months or blocking traffic who can't explain why they're doing it beyond talking about "peace," "justice," "fairness" or some other broad term that everyone who disagrees with them believes in as well.

4) ….butch, unveiled lesbians marching down the street with signs supporting Palestine, despite the fact they'd hang from lamp posts in 5 minutes if they actually lived there.

5) ….an extremely wealthy Democrat President who lives a more opulent lifestyle than the Queen of England when he's not golfing with rich celebrities and attending $30,000 a plate fundraisers lecturing everyone about how his opponents are the party of the rich.

6) ….screaming that people who work hard, play by the rules and pay taxes are heartless and greedy because they're not giving enough of their money away to support people who feel entitled to have other people pay their way through life.

7) ….guys like Michael Moore and Noam Chomsky getting filthy rich in a capitalist country by selling really dumb people on how awful capitalism and rich people are for the country.

8) ….people who can't explain and deliver the most basic scientific explanation of global warming or give a good answer to any tough scientific questions about it accusing other people of being "anti-science" for not agreeing with them on the subject.

9) ….a celebrity or politician with a half dozen armed security guards ensuring that nothing happens to him or his mansion demanding that guns be banned.

10) …liberal "feminists" who claim to represent all women turning out to typically be the bitterest, most hyper-sensitive and least feminine women you'll ever meet.

11) ….fighting to keep teachers and armed guards designed to protect the student body out of schools while also fighting to keep every Commie, terrorist, and moral degenerate you can imagine in the classroom teaching kids.

12) ….judging whether a comment is "racist" based mostly on liberal ideology, party affiliation and how chummy liberals are with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

13) ….lecturing other people on doing things "for the children" while you advocate spending so much money today that "the children" will never have Social Security, Medicare or even the same level of prosperity we're experiencing today.

14) ….imbeciles lecturing everyone else on right and wrong when they're incapable of seeing a difference between cops and criminals, America and Isis, and Christians and Satanists.

15) ….people who demand that we treat men as guilty until proven innocent in rape and sexual harassment cases while they just shrug off all the accusations against Bill Clinton.

16) ….Democrat politicians who talk incessantly about how other people don't care about the poor while they do nothing about crime in poor neighborhoods, fight to keep poor Americans from having the choice to move their kids to better schools, and bring in illegal aliens to take their jobs.

17) ….howling about "tolerance" while you accuse everyone who disagrees with you of being a racist, try to put Christian bakers out of business for refusing to make cakes for gay weddings and urge newspapers and colleges to stop anyone you disagree with from being heard.

18) …. eating pork chops while writing hate-filled messages to people who put pictures of themselves hunting feral hogs up on the Internet.

19) ….slamming America as racist, sexist, homophobic, backwards, horrible and morally inferior to most of the rest of the world at every opportunity, but refusing to ever move to another country under any circumstances.

20) ….a PBS-watching, Starbucks-drinking hippy who works on his Apple, reads a book about Che Guevara on his Kindle, has dinner at Applebee's, then drives the Prius his parents bought for him to a protest where he can complain about how awful capitalism is and how much he hates corporations

H.L. Mencken once wrote a story analyzing a criminal event, which illustrates the difference between someone with fanatical outlook, and someone with a reasonable outlook.

The subject was a real event. A (reverend) minister in the Midwest had the belief that he had to be a sinless paragon of virtue. And he was very intolerant of sinners, believing them irrevocably condemned to Hell. Unfortunately, he strayed with his female choir leader.

The two, thus convinced that they had fallen from grace and were on the highway to Hell, decided to go hog wild with their sinning. So went on a multi-state violent crime spree, before either being arrested or shot by the police, I don’t remember which.

Mencken compared them with a common man who was a Shriner. While away at a Shriner’s convention, he would drink too much, then fall into the arms of a prostitute. But returning home, while he would have some residual guilt, he would nonetheless return to church on Sunday, and resume his life as a good husband and father.

Mencken then compared the two, and the relative harm they caused society and their families, and found the fanatic wanting, of course.

In any event, I use this story as prelude to what the Democrats have become.

Having denied God three times at their national convention, they have semi-endorsed atheism. But that is not enough for their satisfaction. They do not just want to despise God, but go to lengths to abhor Him and all he represents, in their quest to imagine themselves as “like unto God.”

So, to make a long story short, the Democrat party platform is now The Seven Deadly Sins, plus violating any other heavenly rule that they can imagine. Any and every part of religious obedience they do not just reject, but want to violate.

Unfortunately, just doing so themselves is not enough for them. They want to compel everyone else to abhor God as well. This is why atheists are split between those who just don’t believe, but otherwise hold a “live and let live” attitude; and those atheists who are vehemently anti-religious, and want to deny faith and religion to others.

Truly, a bunch of miserable people. Unable to pursue happiness themselves, they seek to deny others the pursuit of happiness. This seems to be what happens when you abhor faith in something better than yourself, and embrace the license of evil, hate, vanity and suffering.

Truly their motto was best expressed by Satan in Milton’s Paradise Lost:

“Here we may reign secure, and in my choyce
To reign is worth ambition though in Hell:
Better to reign in Hell, then serve in Heav’n.”
