Let's see what else our fearless defender of the faith has to say:Let's examine one of liberalism's biggest smears.
Mention the term "hate-crime" to the average individual, and he or she will, almost without fail, have the mental image of a White persecuting a minority. That's what I mean by a "Through the Looking Glass" worldview. However, reality tells a different story.
FBI crime statistics reveal that minorities are several times more likely to commit a "hate-crime" against a White, than the commonly held misperception of minorities being the victims of "hate" perpetrated by Whites.
So, how do you suppose that such commonly held misconceptions occur, other than bordering on diliberate conspiracy?"So who are these liberals," I hear you ask, "and how can I identify them and thus uncover their nefarious scheme for world domination?"
Well fear no more, citizen, for here in easy-to-read form are some of the key attribute of liberals and their befuddled and corrupt thinking, as set out by Razorsharp in this thread here (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=231155&perpage=50&pagenumber=1). I'm sure he won't mind me taking a few of his views about liberals out of context and using them to point out the danger that Western civilization is in from this dastardly scourge; indeed, it's a moral imperative that I do so. (And remember, folks, these are all from only one thread! Just imagine what other pearls of wisdom we could find with just a little searching!)People often wonder why liberals struggle in the arena of "talk radio". The answer is really quite simple.
Listening to the radio requires more intellectual exercise, than watching the "telescreen". With talk radio, just the words are provided, requiring the listener to translate the words into thoughts that are compatable with the listener's everyday life experiences.
Whereas, watching television requires little in intellectual exercise. The watcher is given the words, while the images of the "telescreen" guide the watcher's thoughts to the "correct" conclusions. Let's examine one of liberalism's pet causes, welfare.
With television, the words speak of the "needy", while images of those that truly are needy, reinforce the message . This does not work so well with radio. While the words may speak of the plight of the needy, it's not enough to erase the mental images of our everyday life experiences of the "single mom" crowding the checkout aisle with a shopping-cart full of "essentials" and a brood of young'uns, each bearing the telltale characteristics of a different father, as she carefully counts out the correct amount of foodstamps. Without the images to guide our thoughts, we start to question why we tolerate this.Speak it, brother! How dare they promote promiscuity in poor people!Remember, during the "D.C. sniping", the "authorities" brought in an "expert" to build a profile of who might be doing the shooting? And what did they come up with? Hollywood couldn't have done any better. It was a white redneck in a pickup truck. And because of this profiling, Muhammed and Malvo went to and fro without scrutiny to continue killing. Thank you, liberalism.See, according to the liberal ideology it's wrong to profile according to race, well, any race other than the white race.I'll rely on the theory of evolution that liberals are so fond of.The orthodoxy of liberalism is really comical. For instance, in the realm of religion, or rather, anti-religion, there is no creation, we evolved.
But, when pointing out differences between the races, groups, sub-species or whatever "invented" category, that can be attributed to evolution, liberals start wailing and stomping their feet, demanding that "we're all the same."It was nothing more than a rambling smokescreen to trumpet the liberal party-line of multiculturalism and diversity. But, wait a minute... wouldn't multiculturalism and diversity belie the liberal party-line that "we are all the same"? Hmmm.... Orwellian "double-think" comes to mind. Right: liberals are working towards the subversion of the white race -- got it.liberalism poses a danger to society.How so, O Speaker of Truth?Were they not so detrimental to traditional American society, liberals would be downright laughable at how they masquerade as honorable guardians of Constitutional integrity, while working diligently to subvert the very meaning of America's most sacred document in the construction of their "Through the Looking Glass" worldview.The answer is that the scourge known as "Political Correctness" that currently infects America, once known as the land of "freedom of speech", is nothing less than institutionalized "thought control" designed specifically to be applied to conservative Americans, who still embrace the traditional American values of individualism, freedom and liberty. Its purpose is to silence their protests of the socialization and globalization of the last genuinely free country that remains in the world today. But is it just liberals we should worry about?Liberals and neoconservatives alike promote an insane open-borders policy with such bromides as, "Diversity is America's greatest strength" or "Multiculturalism is the beautiful mosiac that is America".
Freedom and liberty are America's greatest strengths. Multiculturalism brings to America cultures that engage in such practices as female genital mutilation. Liberalism is a scourge that is dependent on the facist principle of big government, the antithesis of America's founding.The only way the double-standard can survive, is through the loyalty of a media that has prostituted itself to the point of becoming nothing more than an Orwellian "Ministry of Truth".Okay, so liberals, in league with neoconservatives, are in favor of diversity, fascism, and female genital mutilation. Check.
Anything else?It is such a transparently shallow tactic --- to create a strawman to knock down. A typically leftist tactic.Liberals are an odd lot, they will go into an absolute hissy-fit over any accurate portrayal that reveals the inherent degeneracy of their ideology, when name-calling and smearing is their forte.These liberals sound like fearsome folk. I hope I never encounter one.Oh boy, here we go again, having to deal with the liberal tactic of taking things out of context in a limp attempt to score a point. Uh-oh... :eek:
