Liberalism is easy
I have always maintained that the liberalism was a form of emotional, intellectual and cultural retardation. I am not alone in this belief. Evan Sayet's new book, 'Kindergarden of Eden' makes this exact point. This interview covers the main ideas of his book. The book would be well worth the read.
Brilliant insight into the leftist mind by Ace.
The church of liberalism. They have a fanatical belief in their crazy Utopian ideology and no facts, logic or reason will shake that belief. Environmentalism or economic policy, it doesn't matter. Their view of the world is poisoned by their Marxist-inspired Utopian ideology. There has never been a Utopian system that has survived; they are fundamentally unsustainable. Our country was founded on the principles if individual liberty, free markets and a government with strictly limited powers. These principles gave us the greatest example of individual freedom, economic and military power and the highest standard of living ever enjoyed by any society in world history. Since our country has been polluted by Utopian socialistic policies we have seen nothing but a decline in our standard of living and a loss of individual and economic freedom. The Leftists ignore these failures and continue to implement more and more of their Utopian socialist agenda. They are absolutely convinced that things will get better if they keep doing more of what has already failed. We must stop this insanity. We must return to that which has been proven to work. If we do not, we will suffer the fate of all other states that have fallen for the siren song of Utopianism.
It's hard to engage liberals in serious debate. They literally act like children. Don't expect facts and logic in the debate, they'll just get mad and throw urine, feces and used tampons. On second thought comparing them to children might be giving them too much credit. Poorly behaved monkeys might be a more apt comparison.
"…Actually, no, it doesn’t come as a shock at all. Marxism is, as I have often noted, intellectualism for stupid people: it attracts third-rate True Believers and second-rate cynical opportunists, both of whom are eager to find an ‘intellectual’ movement that rewards memorization over reason, not to mention basic food production."
It's so easy to be a liberal. You don't have to worry about logic, facts, common sense, morality or any hard stuff like that. You can say anything or do anything and not have to worry about the news media ever calling you out. I think this is why liberals have such a hard time in debates. They are used to engaging in group think and receiving protection from the liberal media. When forced to actually come up with a convincing, logical argument for a position they are completely incapable. First they trot out the standard liberal talking points which are emotional appeals to the naive and ill-informed. They don't expect to have to back up their positions with facts or logic because they never have to do that when speaking to the media or their useful idiots (sorry-low information voters). When the emotional appeal doesn't carry the argument or can't overcome facts the liberal will then employ identity politics; pitting one or more aggrieved minority or victim class against the supposed evil conservative oppression. When this non-sequiter fails to convince the audience, the race card is dutifully played. The race card trumps all facts and logic. It places the opponent on the defensive and once you've been declared a bigot, obviously nothing you have to say is worthy of any respect or even a response. This act is played out in our society over and over. Liberals say or do idiotic things and then accuse anyone who dares to object of bigotry. The liberal media then seizes on the ad hominem attack and ignores the issue at hand. The dance of the idiots begins yet again. The low information voter has a really, really hard time with all those facts and figures, but he can takes sides against racism. Works like a charm. This explains the presidency of Barack Hussein Obama. He is the perfect storm of identity politics; the perfect victim. Hillary Clinton had everything going for her. She was a liberal, a woman and she had all that presidential experience acquired from living in the White House for 8 years. She was the ideal victim class representative; a woman. The Democrats knew that any male candidate would be hurt if he forcefully attacked a woman challenger. Get tough on her in the debates and three quarters of the women watching would feel sorry for her. Run negative ads against her and women would flock to her defense. The Democrats were sure they had the winning formula.......and then a better victim came along. Barack Hussein Obama appeared on the scene and gave them the super candidate. A clean, articulate, non-threatening black man (Joe Biden) who didn't speak any of that negro dialect (Harry Reid) would help erase the white guilt felt by Americans. Electing Obama would absolve us of our collective original sin; slavery. And it would be so easy to run a campaign when any criticism of Obama would automatically be called racism. If you didn't vote for Obama you were just an unrepentant racist. Identity politics; it's not the content of your character or the value of your ideas that matters, it's the color of your skin. This is how a child molesting, influence peddling Senator retains his office and how a completely unqualified, anti-American community agitator becomes president.
This pretty much sums it up. There is no logical consistency in liberalism; there is only achieving power by any means necessary. If that means they have to be hypocritical; so be it. If they have to lie' so be it. You always have to remember that their goal is to transfer power from individuals to government and to transfer wealth from the producers to creators. They will do whatever they have to do to meet these goals.

Mark Steyn discusses the liberal practice of avoiding debate by tarring their opponents as bigots. Liberal ideas don't stand up well to facts and logic, so this is how they get their agenda advanced.
