Carr: You might be a liberal if ... you’re delusional
Boston Herald ^ | August 2, 2015 | By Howie Carr

Posted on 08/03/2015 12:49:00 AM PDT by Brad from Tennessee

You may be a liberal if you believe that allowing working people to keep a few more of the dollars they earned themselves is a “boondoggle” and a “gimmick.”

You may be a Massachusetts liberal if you think that the annual sales tax holiday weekend “diverts” money from “education,” by which you mean teachers unions, and from “the MBTA,” by which you mean handouts for T hacks who retired with full pensions at age 41.

By this definition of diversion, every time you drive past a bank and don’t rob it, you have “diverted” the money inside by not stealing it from its rightful owners.

The annual sales tax weekend in Massachusetts was approved by the Legislature last week, but not without some more absurd rhetoric from the hackerama. The solons’ gripe is that not grabbing that extra $25 million from taxpayers to give to non-taxpayers is “throwing it out the window.”

Remember, this is the state that two years ago admitted to annually handing out at least $1.8 billion in welfare to illegal aliens. That of course is money well spent, because it’s for non-working, non-English-speaking non-citizens. What could possibly be fairer than that?

The website American Thinker recently ran a piece headlined, “You May Be a Liberal if….” The point was that moonbat rhetoric is increasingly diverging from reality. I think after this week I can make a few additions to their list.

You may be a liberal if you want to string up the dentist who shot Cecil the Lion, but you think the ghouls at Planned Parenthood all deserve Profiles in Courage awards.

You may be a liberal if you feel you have to apologize for saying “All Lives Matter.”

“The point was that moonbat rhetoric is increasingly diverging from reality.”

What other direction could it possibly have gone in? Good article and, in an age where people have lost the ability to critically think (most by choice), we need many more like it.

You ARE a liberal if you think paying property taxes on something you own or don’t own IS NOT paying RENT to various givernments..

Whom DO OWN IT... a delusion of the highest order that you own it..
A delusion... drugged by propaganda.. mentally manipulated like a trained dog.. bird.. pet..

And very likely think you’re SMART..

You might be a liberal if ... you have no ability whatsoever to think clearly and logically.

A woman who was wanted for theft tried to eat and swallow crack cocaine while being arrested by officers. Linda Blank, 48, was stopped by detectives on Cleveland Street near Dewey Avenue in Douglas, Georgia.

But you vote straight Democrat at least once in every election - because that is what your parents did and you see no reason to change.

You are a liberal if:

A lion getting killed is Murder, but babies in the womb being killed is a 'choice'

Psychosis resides in the Progressive mind. (or whatever it is that takes up space in their heads)

IMHO

“...lost the ability to critically think...”

Progressive “critical thinking” is when one is critical of non-Progressives.

IMHO

Delusional is exactly correct. Also neurotic, oppositional defiant, narcissistic, & antisocial. How many of their maladjusted behaviors have been re-classified as a result of political pressure? Let us count the ways, as the saying goes.

You might be a liberal if you are a radio talk show host and your co host voted for Obama and your producer loves Hillary Clinton.

Don’t be duped by Howie Carr, the only conservative concern he has is HIS wallet, as exemplified by having him paying 2 baby killing, homosexual agenda fans, VB and Sandy, to help run his show.

“Yes, sort of like dry water.”

Whenever a Progressive uses the term “critical thinking”, one can hear the sound of goosestepping morons.

IMHO

You might be a liberal if you say Fox News is in the conservatives corner, yet you cannot find the channel if you were spotted the first number.

Someone posted it here.

So I’ll say again, you might be liberal if the taste of your own (crap) is always in your mouth cause that’s where your head is.
