When liberals overran the Democrat party, they took upon themselves the old notion that Democrats look out for the little guy. Evidence suggests however that, despite how much they moan about evil corporations that they are crony capitalists who buoy up their favorite corporations over those of conservatives and that communism may just be a red herring. Beware when politicians talk in sweeping vagaries about charity and sacrifice and morality because they discuss these things, not because they believe in them, but because they know you do. In fact, liberals are their own favorite constituent, beneficent, and beneficiary. Anything you happen to achieve as a consequence of their actions is usually completely accidental. The dogs eat crumbs from the master’s table.
Common liberal rhetoric shows that they care only about people who are useful to them. Once, Sandra Fluke and Cindy Sheehan and others were common names spouted by the media. Some other names like Ambassador Stevens, Shakil Afridi, and Chris Kyle are never mentioned by the media or other liberals because they are not useful in advancing the liberal agenda. Obama promised a job, a new car, and a new kitchen to people during the 2008 campaign, but none of those people report receiving anything, and even the famous “Obamaphone” lady and “Obamagirl” of Youtube fame were less enamored with him in 2012 because he wasn’t validating their needs. When you listen to their talking points, it shows just how little they care about issues, events, and people that hedge up their way. Harry Reid referred last week to Ted Cruz as a schoolyard bully, previously to tourists at the capital as “smelly”, and to the GOP leadership as “obstructionist”. Hillary Clinton’s infamous utterance of “What difference does it make?” shows that they do not view you as people; they view you as numbers, as a means. You may recall the infamous story of a man throwing starfish into the sea who is told that he cannot make a difference because there are too many starfish to throw back. The man looks at one, throws it, and says, “It made a difference to that one”.
Politics is about the business of people. Imagine if the liberals had reacted to Newtown the same way they reacted to Benghazi with the trite dismissal of “what difference does it make?” It makes a great deal of difference to the victims, but since the victims are adults, and probably conservatives, they don’t really care. The liberal fascination with digital technology, polls, statistics and the like shows that liberals do not value individuals. Digital information is impersonal. They pander to the people whose screams resound most shrill in their ears even if that group is a vocal minority. They will get up and talk about things that are emotional because they know YOU care about them and because they can use your emotional attachment to elevate themselves. If they cared about children with autism, people with expensive medical treatments, students with learning disabilities, neighbors who haven’t held a job for years, and family members with depression, they would be able to name some. I can.
Liberals circle their wagons only around their own. They will bend over backwards to protect members of other races unless like Clarence Thomas, Colin Powell, or Benjamin Carson you happen to be a conservative. It’s ok for Bill Clinton to commit sex acts in the White House, but if a conservative is suggestive or unfaithful, they demand that he resign in disgrace. They can elect and uphold members of the KKK, but if George Allan mistakenly says something that can be taken as a slur, he must be defeated. Much of their moral compass is duplicitous. Obama will do anything to save a child’s life except stop abortions, particularly if “saving a child” means denying you freedoms. You only really mean it if you fight for it when it involves people you don’t know or especially people you don’t like.
When liberals hold up their duplicitous standard, they clothe themselves in “odd old ends stolen forth from holy writ, and seem saints when most they play the devil”. Hillary Clinton spoke about how Benghazi “was a long time ago” and no longer matters. They require you to forgive and forget them immediately for any breach of honor, ethics, morality, and duty, while at the same time they hold any minute misstep on your part over your head in perpetuity. Every jejune and ruderal mistake that a conservative makes is grounds for ridicule while every lambent achievement of a liberal is seen as qualification for beatification. It is acknowledged that liberals may “eat, drink and be merry”, because they have no moral standard and believe in a “living and breathing” standard of law. What they are doing “isn’t hurting anyone” even though that’s not true; at the very least it hurts people who care about them as individuals! If a conservative makes an error, he is not just “being human”, he is being a hypocrite, because he has declared himself an adherent to a moral order. It’s ok to make mistakes only if you are a liberal, in which case it becomes a resume enhancement like Elizabeth Colbert-Bush who served time for contempt of court.
There is God and there is government, and for liberals, government is their god. Since so many of them inhabit elected office and the bureaucracy, they view themselves as perfect; they are part of their own god and must be the solution. Therefore, they adopt a nihilistic and narcissistic view of the universe in which they imagine to themselves that “whatsoever a man does is no crime”. If it feels good, do it, and the only commandment is that if you get caught at least get rich from the publicity. Quite literally Liberals believe that they are born better than other people and are rarely required to prove it. We still don’t know if Obama ever actually graduated, what his grades were, and how he got into prestigious schools from a disadvantaged background in which he describes himself as a disaffected drug addict.
Just because a person calls himself one thing does not make it so. Not all liberals call themselves liberals. This is how Congress gets loaded up with RINOs. Not all liberals know that they are liberals. Liberalism actually consists in two things. First, they create a world based on lies because it’s what they want to be true. Secondly, it is subject to change at any time in a way that benefits them and their friends, truth being relative. They do not live in the real world, and they do not believe in truth, which is why they frequently attack people rather than their ideas. When a boxer starts hitting below the belt, it’s because he knows he cannot beat his opponent on merit and must resort to dirty tricks. When a politician must Roorbach, it means he knows that he cannot win unless he lies. Liberals don’t care. For them winning is everything.
It takes time to figure out who really means it because even people who really mean what they say will make mistakes. Eventually, it is possible that even people who really do love you will hurt you; the ones who mean it will not do it purposely, and when they realize it they will correct their error and attempt to make it right. Liberals just say, “oops” and then insist that the solution to bad government is more bad government. When liberal policies benefit the disadvantaged, mostly it’s accidental. If they could run on their merits and accomplishments, they would, but since they can’t they usually attack the character or record of their opponents. Obama won elections mostly by destroying his opponents. After he defeated them soundly, what did he do to help the little guys he created? Nothing.
You know the merit of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him. Obama can’t actually gain much from the regular citizenry. We have too little money, too little clout, and too little power to do anything for him besides pull the lever for him on election day. Consequently, he has little incentive to do anything for us afterwards. By contrast, last night about a mile from home, I came across two young ladies collecting money to pay for their cat’s surgery. I stopped my bicycle, emptied my wallet, and rode home. I don’t have any expectation from those girls, but I do know that their cat’s name is Patches. I already put him in my prayers, and that, my friends, is how you know who cares. I know the name of that creature who benefits. When you name names, the people or programs become real. Those girls and their cat are real to me. Ask yourself if you are really real to those who claim to be your advocates. When you become real to a person in a position of responsibility, your interests become real, and that’s why real people and real world and real truth really matter.
