The Washingtom Examiner’s Ashe Schow has a great column on the vast illogic that defines today’s liberalism.
Sometimes, small percentages of the American people are worth fighting for. And sometimes they’re not, at least for the Left.
About 10 percent of the American people are uninsured and can’t get health insurance? Better disrupt the entire healthcare system to help them.
About 6 percent of U.S. residents are here illegally? Better disrupt the entire immigration system to make them legal.
Less than 1 percent of women are raped each year while in college? Better redefine consent to turn nearly all sex into rape unless nobody reports it.
But 10 percent of rape accusations are false? (One study suggests it’s as high as 40 percent.) That’s negligible and can be ignored.
Exactly. If liberals truly cared about the uninsured they could have easily set up a quick and dirty program specifically for them, or, better, just hand out stipends to those who couldn’t afford insurance – in either case it would have been a whole lot cheaper in the long run! But liberals don’t care about people, they care about causes.
Same thing with immigration. Liberals don’t care about immigrants. What they do care deeply about is cultivating a voting bloc that will enable them to gain and stay in power for decades.
Liberals oppose torture, right? After all, Senate Democrats just released that scathing report on the CIA. But they have no problem with the president seeking to normalize relations with a country that still tortures political dissenters as regular practice.
Liberals oppose the Koch brothers for all the money they pour into conservative causes, but when it comes to bundlers like Tom Steyer and Estafania Anias there’s not a peep.
Liberals are all about diversity and color-blindness, but everything they say and do is race-focused. Liberals are all about tolerance, but try having an opposing view and see what happens. Liberals are all about acceptance, but in their hearts they hate those who don’t see things the way they do.
I could go on and on but there’s little point, it’s all so obvious. And if it wasn’t for a lap-dog media that champions the same causes liberals do and pays them lip service every chance they get, these people would be laughed out of the room.
Are you Rush Limbaugh? God, you people are stupid talking heads. Thank God We live in a free society where all viewpoints are tolerated. GO!! OBAMA! PS your north Korea blog is going to get all of us killed. Just because you CAN does not mean you SHOULD. stupid.

Thank you for your comment, Pam – all viewpoints are welcome here at Goodboys Nation weblog. I notice that, rather than refute anything that has been written above you have chosen instead to call people names and hurl insults. But that’s OK, I’ve got a thick enough skin to take it.
You are right in saying that we do live in a free society, and no one here is even suggesting opposing views be silenced. Unfortunately, that’s a common tool used by the liberal left because they know their own arguments won’t stand up in the marketplace of ideas. Don’t believe me? Look at the lengths to which your president’s IRS has gone to stifle conservative activists. Look at what universities across this country are doing to stifle free speech if it doesn’t follow what their own ideas of what “diversity” ought to be. It’s not conservatives who are afraid to argue their positions, it’s the liberal left.
I’m glad you wrote, Pam, and I welcome your comments anytime you’d like. One final word of advice, though: you can voice your support for President Obama without calling those who disagree with him and his political beliefs stupid. Hurling insults is not just intellectually lazy, it does nothing to further your cause.
