10 Concepts Liberals Talk About Incessantly But Don't Understand1)
Being Open Minded: To a liberal, this has nothing at all to do with
seriously considering other people's ideas. To the contrary, liberals
define being "open-minded" as agreeing with them. What could be more
close-minded than assuming that not only are you right, but that you
don't even need to consider another viewpoint because anyone who
disagrees must be evil?
2) Racism: Liberals start with the
presumption that only white people who don't belong to the Democratic
Party can be racist. So, for example, even if Jeremiah Wright can make
it clear that he hates white people because of their skin color or if
liberals take an explicitly racist political position, like suggesting
that black people are too stupid and incompetent to get identification
to vote, they can't be racist. White Republicans, on the other hand, are
generally assumed to be racist by default, no matter how much evidence
there is to the contrary.
3) Fairness: In all fairness, I must
admit that fairness is an arbitrary concept. So, you could make the
argument that no one could get "fairness" wrong. Still, liberals do
because they don't make any effort to actually "be fair." As a practical
matter, liberals define "fairness" as taking as much as possible from
people who they don't think are going to vote for them and giving it to
people who may vote for them in return for their ill gotten largesse.
Certainly conservatives, libertarians, and moderates might disagree
about how much money to take from the wealthy to redistribute to the
poor or how to help the disadvantaged, but the only liberal answer to
the question, "How much is enough?" is "more."
4) Greed: To a
liberal, believing that you pay too much in taxes or even opposing
paying more in taxes is greedy. In actuality, wanting to loot as much
money as possible that someone else has earned to use for your own
purposes, which is what liberals do, is a much better example of greed.
5)
Hate: Liberals often define simple disagreement with them on issues
like gay marriage, tax rates, or abortion as hatred. No matter how well a
position is explained, or the logical underpinnings behind it, it's
chalked up to hate. Meanwhile, the angriest, most vicious, most hateful
people in all of politics are liberals railing against what they say is
"hatred." This irony is completely lost on the Left.
6)
Investment: Actual investments involve putting money or resources into a
project in hopes that they will appreciate in value. Liberals skip the
second half of that equation. To them, an "investment" is taking someone
else's tax dollars and putting it into a project that liberals approve
of and whether a profit is made or lost is so irrelevant that they
typically don't even bother to measure the results.
7) Charity:
Contributing your own money or time to a good cause is charity. Liberals
view themselves as charitable if they take someone else's tax dollars
and give it away to people they hope will vote for them in return. At a
minimum, they should at least credit the taxpayers who paid for the
money they gave away for the charity, although it's not really charity
if it's involuntary. Of course, there's nothing charitable about asking
someone else to sacrifice for your gain, which could actually be better
described as selfish.
8) Patriotism: Liberals love America the
way a wife beater loves his spouse. That's why they're always beating up
the country "for its own good." Doesn't the country understand that
liberals have to hit it in the mouth because they LOVE IT SO MUCH?!?!?
Of course, the conventional definition of patriotism, which is loving
your country and wishing it well, isn't one that liberals can wrap their
heads around.
9) Tolerance: In a free, open, and pluralistic
society, there are all sorts of behaviors that we may have to tolerate,
even though we don't approve of those activities. Liberals don't get
this distinction. For one thing, they don't understand the difference
between tolerance and acceptance. They also don't extend any of the
tolerance they're agitating for to people who disagree with them.
Liberals silence people who disagree with them at every opportunity
which is, dare we say it, an extremely intolerant way to behave.
10)
Diversity: What liberals mean by "diversity" is that they want a broad
range of people from different races, colors, and creeds who have
identical political views. A black or Hispanic conservative doesn't
contribute to "diversity" in liberal eyes because he actually has
diverse views. Incredible role models for women like Sarah Palin can't
be feminists to liberals because she doesn't share the same liberal
beliefs as sexist pigs like Anthony Weiner and Bill Maher. How can you
have any meaningful "diversity" when everyone has to think the same way
