Lies About Liberals

 

When they do something wrong, Conservatives delight in accusing Liberals of doing it.  Remember candidate Bush’s reference to Al Gore’s fuzzy math.  When it was Bush’s tax cut math which was completely misleading.  In his 2008 book, Why We’re Liberals, A Political Handbook for Post-Bush America, Eric Alderman presents the following examples:

 

Liberals undermine America’s values.

Liberals hate America and patriotism.

Liberals blame America first.

Liberals won’t protect our national security.

Liberals are soft on America’s enemies.

Liberals are elitists.

Liberals oppose individual freedom.

Liberals love to tax and spend.

Liberals destroy economic growth.

Liberals want to murder the unborn.

Liberals educate youths to be perverts.

Liberals love smut.

Liberals continually cry racism.

Liberals hate Jews.

Liberals hate religion.

Liberals only support homosexual marriages.

Liberals love ‘activist’ judges.

Liberals fight nasty.

 

Conservatives typically keep repeating these lies, without offering any evidence.  Eric Alderman easily makes the case that none of these statements is true.  Most of them could be applied more accurately to Conservatives.   Glenn Greenwald’s 2008 book, Great American Hypocrites makes the same case.

 

If you like hate-filled, profane, sexually obsessed, racist, sexist, homophobic, military-service-dodging, ideology-before-science, deceptive, big government, budget unbalancing, incompetent, corrupt self-identified victims who disrespect and violate our basic American values and constitution, you’ll love Conservatives.  You’ll love repugnant, repulsive Republicans.

 

Trash talking Fox News pundits, hate radio pundits such as Rush Limbaugh, New Conservative columnists and various Republican congress members are good examples.  Some Republicans don’t personally have all of these yucky traits; but they ally themselves with and support those who do.  They certainly don’t denounce them as Democratic congress members censored MoveOn for their childish reference to General Petraeas.  For more.

 

I don’t object to Republican people.  I object to their attitudes and behaviors.  I hope they can change their evil ways.  I hope that those who don’t change will be totally eliminated from public influence.  My tool for doing this is education.  Dave Thomas
