Where have all the liberals gone?
Published on May 31, 2005 By Rightwinger In Politics
You know, it’s funny; I posted an article about a week ago, about a "Commie Plot" and how the agenda of the Liberal Left today very closely mirrors that of the Soviet Communist agenda for the destruction of America.
Though I’ve had a few hits there, mostly from fellow righties, I’ve had only two individual hits from lefties.
One of those was a rather positive reply, but kind of missed the point, I think.
The other….well, all they did was try futilely to downgrade it and throw a half-hearted insult at me, without a single attempt at refuting any of it.
I’m not surprised by any of this, of course…only a little disappointed. I mean, I honestly expected, or at least hoped, to see everything from intelligent questions as to its veracity from some of the more enlightened among you to complete, ranting dismissal of it in its entirety by others of lesser stature. In short, I expected more response from the Left. Something...anything.
But why haven’t any of you appeared? Is it that you haven’t read it? At least two of you did, and…..if we use the methods of the beloved-by-the-Left pollsters and statisticians, this means that there have very, very likely been others. Yet, the content of my post is met with almost utter silence from that side of the aisle.
Could this be because you can’t refute it as it stands? You see much of yourselves in its warped reflection, and you don’t like it very much. Is that it?
You read so much of your own, present, liberal agenda on that list of goals, goals that were set down long ago by our mortal enemy, to act as a cancer and to destroy our way of life, and you just HATE to admit it.
"Maybe they’re right after all?" some of you may just be thinking. "Maybe our ideals really aren’t good for our society and nation." But no…..I seriously doubt that any of you are thinking any of that
It would be nice, I admit; to think that I found and posted something that came from a mind like mine, a closed, short-sighted, Conservative mind, and that reading it gave you pause and maybe brought at least a few of you back from the Dark Side, so to speak. That really would be nice to think about.
One of the problems, however, with true, liberal Left thinking is that too much of it tends to drip and overflow with self-importance, self-righteousness and self-superior arrogance.
"We can’t be wrong;" many of you (and even some here on JU) think, "we’re the Enlightened Ones; we’re the Forward Thinkers who are so much more intelligent and wise than those Conservative Neanderthals who are so chained to the past and its ways and means."
So many of you on the Left just do not realize that many of the things you hate and ridicule so much about this country, and see as examples of what is wrong with it and as holding it back, are exactly what has made it so great.
Our belief in God, for example; so many of you on the Left denigrate this and try to squelch it and wipe it out; our morality as a people, our sense of sovereignty as a society and as a nation and our unwillingness to surrender that to any larger body. Our distrust of a big government apparatus that wants to involve itself in, and to solve, all of our problems; even our sense of right and wrong. Lots of you tend to see all of these things as improper or maybe outmoded, as relics of the past, but they’re not. They’re as important today, in June of 2005, as they were in July of 1776.
That’s America, my leftist friends. Call it corny, call it backward thinking…..but call it what it is….or rather, has become……great.

And I’ve got news for you.
Well before, and well after, 1963, our insidious enemies to the East were using people like you, you Forward Thinkers and Enlightened Ones, as moles. As spies. As agitators. They were using people like you to undermine our nation. They still are, in a way, and you just don’t, or perhaps don’t want to, realize it.

Now, you can:
1.) Choose to remain the tools of our former enemies, doing the posthumous work of a godless, soulless and immoral form of government that no longer exists, and operating as individual parts of a vast and diabolical machine whose controllers long ago abandoned their posts. In that work, by the way, you are now benefiting our present enemies, the Islamic Fundamentalist terrorists, who would see our nation and culture dismantled with even more zeal than the USSR possessed.

Or, you can:
2.) Work toward changing your beliefs, start working with us rather than against us, and get this nation back on the right moral track again. The same track, a few of you may recall, that led us to become the most powerful and richest nation in the world, and a beacon of freedom and prosperity for people everywhere.
I would opt for the second rather than the first, but that’s just me.

Modern Liberalism and its agenda really is a cancer on our society; that's how it was intended by its creators. The sooner you realize that, the sooner this nation can get healthy again.

The problem is, of course, that too many of you lefties out there don’t really want that.

Good luck with option 2. That they deny it means they cannot see their own myopia. They are not going to take advice from a conservative.

I would agree with you, DG, but I have to remain optimistic. Liberalism in this country used to be, up to the 1960s, for example, much more moderate. They used to care about maintaining our way of life rather than rotting it away as they're doing now, thanks to the fierce Marxist-Maoist-Leninist radicalism of the mid-to-late 60s. I have to believe that they can get back there again.

Your optimism is good.  Dont let us old farts take that away.  And I agree with your assessment of Liberalism.  The turning point seemed to be McGovern in 72.  Now he seems conservative by the likes of todays clowns.

"Clowns" is a very apt assessment. Except that they're the scary clowns kids see in their nightmares.+LOL+
I don't really know much about McGovern (not before my time, by any means, but just before my time to care, I suppose you'd say), I just know that, before the 1960s, we didn't have the horrible divide between Right and Left we seem to have today.

Well put, LW. I agree. Thanks for posting.

Your calling this rightie drivel. Does that make your reply leftie ignorance?

I've never read truer words. Rightwinger you have it nailed. We live in a morally decrepit society where you can't say God in school but you can carry it around in your wallet. I better not say that too loud or the liberals will have us changing the face of American currency.

It runs so much deeper than just God. I believe that if you want a good spot to go off the deep end, getting rid of the major thing this country was founded upon is the way to do it. When I refer to God I don't mean my God, I mean whatever God is to you or me or anybody.(don't want to offend anyone)

Glad you agree with me, JJ...if you want the full effect, please read the original "Commie Plot" article (shameless plug).
If they can just get rid of God, control the populace and communalize everything, just like the Soviets did, maybe WE can collapse completely, too....just like the Soviets did.

But really, what can they say? "Yes, we are communists?" "Yes, we see that the ideals we embrace today were originally those of a failed nation that was a sworn enemy to our way of life?"


Actually, yes, LW....this is what they should do. If they want to be true to their beliefs, as Myrr does, they should give themselves over to that truth. It is where their beliefs came from, after all, whether they want to admit it or not. But, as you say, they will just ignore this truth and plow right on through, not acknowledging that what they're doing is wrong and dangerous. Purposeful self-delusion is, after all, what the liberal Left is best at, right?

Right,

The problem is, the Republican Party has been caught in the same whirlwind. The genesis of NCLB, for instance, was in an educational proposal authored by (then Arkansas governor) Bill Clinton known as Goals 2000. The long term goal of goals 2000 was to replace high school diplomas with "master certificates" in a field chosen for them by the government based on a number of variables. This, of course, originated in the Soviet bloc as the government dictated the occupational choices of students, and is the necessary end result of a "no child left behind" agenda.

Or, consider the US Patriot Act. The socialist world we were taught as children to fear of children being raised to "turn their parents in" has increasingly come to pass and individual liberties are fast being thrown by the wayside.

Your points are well made, rightwinger, but it stands to reason that we must challenge the enemy wherever he stands. It is an unfortunate fact that he is in the Republican party as well.

I'm not surprised by this at all. the Clintons adopting a policy that originated from a Socialist ideal. Typical of their "old hippie" mentality.

I agree with this to a point: the Patriot Act was passed in time of crisis as a means to ensure the security of our people, just as Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus and Roosevelt censored the media. Nothing wrong in that, especially since both were returned to the books when the crisis was passed.
You know, you don't really NEED a Patriot Act to report the odd or suspicious behavior of someone you know or are related to. It just makes it easier and more visible an option. And besides, the child-advocates (lefties, for the most part, from what I've seen, heh-heh) long ago started promoting the reporting of parents by their kids for any kind of "physical abuse", be it justified punishment or not. Parents in this country have had their kids taken away for simple spankings.

Your points are well made, rightwinger, but it stands to reason that we must challenge the enemy wherever he stands. It is an unfortunate fact that he is in the Republican party as well.


But the Republicans haven't accepted as their ideals the things that many of the more liberal Democrats have. There are enemies on both sides, yes, but I find the Cons to be more concerned about maintaining our way of life than working at destroying it.

Thank you for posting, Gid. Always a pleasure.

They've also been taught, (through DARE and other so called drug abuse prevention programs) that if mommy and daddy abuse drugs, (ie: smoke a joint on friday night) they are sick and need "help." If little Johnny tells his teachers or other authorities about mommy and daddy's sickness, they will get the "help" they need. They then teach the kids what it looks like, smells like, what sort of paraphenalia is involved...etc, and encourage them to "tell somebody."

I will never forget my 8 year old niece damn near having a nervous breakdown because she found a pack of rolling papers in the glovebox of my brother's truck. She was convinced he was a horrible drug addict, doomed for prison or the asylum...and urged him to seek help or she'd "seek it for him."


--Not only that, but there are cases in which either A) the children are taught to report on their mom and dad if they are doing anything that isn't in accordance with the "teachers" agenda or the children are frightened into lying about a parent doing someting,e.g. lying and saying that there dad molested them, in washington a few years back there was a case like this involving a reverend his wife and some 40 other people....
