Liberalism

Accurate graphic (hat tip to Stogie of Saberpoint):


Choose a pillar and expound upon how that pillar has been used to pound away at the destruction of American principles.

    1. Indeed.

      What is more racist than believing a whole race of people are incapable of acquiring basic identification we rely upon every day to gain employment, buy cigarettes and alcohol, or rent a dvd.

  2. About the Al Sharpton School of Racists (Victor Davis Hanson):

    ...Some of the public may think that the lessons of Michael Brown — and Trayvon Martin — are that it is unwise to commit a crime and then assault an officer, or confront a stranger in the rain and slug him in the head and get into a tussle, given that such targets may be armed and may respond with deadly force. But I think critics would privately respond that in Al Sharpton’s America both cases instead advise to take the beating and do not dare use a firearm for self-protection from assault on the chance the attacker is unarmed. In retrospect, Zimmerman might have preferred to have been “whoop-assed,” or Wilson preferred being slugged than to become lifelong targeted pariahs.

    So Wilson’s second apparent error was in winning the fight over Brown for his gun. Had he allowed Brown to beat him, then Wilson might well have had a chance of surviving the wounds, and thus he might now still be a policemen with a career rather than ostracized, in danger, and unemployed. Neither the community nor the media would have found newsworthy the shooting or beating of a white policeman by an African-American youth — in the manner that the murder of two California sheriffs by a twice-deported illegal alien was one-day news. In contrast, once Wilson stopped Brown and once he managed to wrestle his gun back into his own control, then the options narrowed as Brown charged and the inevitable shooting ensued.

    So another unspoken lesson from Ferguson may be that unarmed assailants such as Brown — or Trayvon Martin — can, just as armed suspects, pose as great challenges to those who confront them, in the sense that being assaulted by them might now be seen as preferable to using a firearm in self-defense, with the subsequent ruin that follows....

      Ebola Cases on 11/30/14 - 17,129
      % Increase in last month - 35%

      Don't worry folks, It's under control now...

    2. The monthly rate % Increase in October was 70%. Only the real reason that the numbers have declined is that they've stopped counting cases in Liberia so that the government there can "pretend" to be controlling the outbreak...see the note

      Delete
    3. Well, that's one way to read it.

      Another would be that the outbreak has been contained and declining in Liberia and Guinea. Sierra Leone is expanding but why won't it yield to the same procedures as the two other West African countries?

      Serious progress in vaccines and treatment are being made.

      Kaci Hickox told Christie and Cuomo to screw off and gave the system a good jolt of common sense.

      I call that progress but I live in the libtard alternate reality.

    5. Hickox was also stupid and selfish, as was the doctor who went walking around New York City. We are fortunate he didn't infect anyone, and I am glad they are both healthy and ebola-free. Just because they dodged the bullet doesn't justify what they done. It's like taking a chance and driving home drunk, making it without getting arrested or hitting anything, and saying "See? Nothing wrong with drunk driving!"

      Also, my fellow conservatives, our health system, despite a few hiccups, did a damned good job handing the ebola cases here in the US. That is a rare success that people of all political stripes can celebrate.

  6. Are black people materially worse off because of the Great Society? Not a question that can be answered in 25 words or less.
    Are black people materially worse off because of "welfare reform"? Again complicated but not a question the fringe right acknowledges.

    Fannie and Freddie were NOT forced to make any loans to people who couldn't pay. They chose to make those loans to regain the share they had lost to unregulated Wall St. (NOT government) enabled lenders like Countrywide and Ameriquest.

    But the right would rather tell us that there was not enough liquidity in the banking system to accommodate loan defaults under CRA.

    Wall St. makes a bet that the housing bubble can expand indefinitely, something like your book letting everything get laid off on the over, and you blame the poor.

    Even Greenspan (Ayn's homeboy) admitted that there were serious problems with the idea of an unregulated market.

    Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi

    Next you'll deny that the seeds of the earned income tax credit are found in Hayek, whom you don't understand.

    But let's resort to quoting Michael Weiner and accuse progressives of name calling.
    You're deaf, dumb and blind.

    1. And there, ladies and gentlemen, you have all the positive proof you'll ever need that Leftists Live in Perpetual Denial of Reality.

      Good show, Ducky! BRAVO! thank you for proving "our" case again and again each day with every syllable you utter.

      All by your little self you provide ample evidence of how wrong, how perverse, how idiotic -- and how deeply unpleasant -- the Left really is.

      Congratulations! It must make you feel very important to act as the virtual EMBLEM of Mental Deficiency, Degeneracy, Degradation, Belligerence and Shame.

      Unfortunately, you are far from unique.

    2. Outstanding substantive reply.

      I'll assume you failed to address a single point because you know you have nothing constructive to say.

      Please reconcile your reply with the contention that progressives are the name callers.

    3. Ducky,
      Like most of your comments, your answer is partially correct, but obscures the truth (purposefully, I contend).

      Fannie and Freddie didn't make the loans: Lenders did. And government regulators leaned on those lenders to loan money to people who did not qualify.

      Fannie and Freddie were the bad loan launderers, buying up the bad paper so the lenders wouldn't get stuck with the bad loans Uncle Sam made them right.

      It pays to have good lobbyists, doesn't it?

      Delete
    4. Also, I have never blamed the poor, so once again, you're caught trafficking in liberal lies.

      I blame the federal government. Their stupidity enabled the Wall Street banksters, crashed our economy, and cost us trillions (but notice the Bush and Obama governments made sure to refill the pockets of their pirate cronies.

      Had the US government not introduced perverse incentives into a previously-rational market, and had they not weaved golden parachutes and fluffy safety nets for Wall Street pirates, none of that would have happened.

      Your comment about EIC, like much of your blather, is irrelevant to the topic at hand.

    5. Fannie and Freddie didn't make the loans: Lenders did. And government regulators leaned on those lenders to loan money to people who did not qualify.
      --------
      The loans were made by unregulated companies like Countrywide.
      How was government pressure ever an issue?

      They write subprimes.
      Sell them as investment grade (with a wink from the ratings agencies) to Investment banking firms (i.e. NOT banks) who have a pool of suckers.
      They take the proceeds and write more subprimes.

      Pretty simple grift.
      Notice, no regulation in the loop.

      Now, I will agree that when Fannie and Freddie saw their stock price dropping because they were losing share to the grift they started playing the game and getting that stock price up.
      Now, why they were unnecessarily privatized is a good topic for another time.

    6. Ah, but the blame for the housing crisis and resultant steep loss of value in real estate lies not with the banks and certainly not with "the poor" but squarely in the laps of Christopher Dodd and Bonnie Fwank.

  7. Yes, Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi! I’ll keep saying that until your ears heart from the ringing.
    If Benghazi is such a non-event as all you Libs keep saying in your spin cycle, than why yo you all keep this matter so silent if there’s have nothing to hide or to fear?
    After Obama and his goons finally admitted it was "terrorists" that killed 4 Americans in Libya on 9-11-12.....one would figure they would've arrested them or killed them by now.

    What's the hold on taking action against the terrorists from over 1.5 years ago???
    Four of our people died and Obama lied about Benghazi. We are into a cover-up of a cover-up of a cover-up and the left continues to whine about the unfairness of wanting to get to the bottom of the murders of an Ambassador, two Navy Seals and a embassy worker. And you people are fixated on some stupid release of the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on the CIA’s secret interrogation of terrorists, by of all people,Dianne Feinstein?
    Obama lied and Americans died. Who do we see about that Intelligence Committee report ? You repulsive progressives talk about it as if it was big joke. Too bad the families of the Americans killed in Benghazi, Libya aren't laughing

    The world is upside down in the liberal mind.
    Maybe America can have a telethon to help these poor “Teen Age” victims in Ferguson.
    Or the 2 Black teens beat white motorist from Bosnian to death with a hammer in St. Louis. They beat him up like a Mexican Pinata.
    And why is the major news networks NOT covering this hideous murder that happened Sunday morning!

    1. FT,
      There are so many pillars, huh?

      Perpetual Rage is yet another, but not exclusively a trait of the Left -- as we see every day all over the blogosphere.

      Delete
    2. I thought I covered that with COMBATIVENESS. Perhaps it was too mild a term? ;-)

      BTW, I consider ESSHEAD, a polite, rather elegant euphemism -- a singularly appropriate term for people of the Left. ENWORD is another I find myself using more and more for similar reasons.

      It's sort of like calling a spade "a forged metal implement used in the digging of holes."

      One never knows what word next the Left will target as "offensive," and therefore TABOO. they will seize any excuse and use any device to disrupt and derail discourse, throw people off balance, and draw attention, instead, to their deranged view of history and current events.

      Truth is "Hate Speech" to Leftists.

      Calling something exactly what it is, however unflattering, is not "name calling." The term properly applies only to defamatory remarks, dirty words, and deliberate, unfounded, undeserved insults.

  10. I would create a new pillar - Destruction of the Family Unit. Without that, none of these others would carry much weight.

    And this is happening exponentially now. I read where few 'millenials' have any interest in marriage and/or having a family. The vermin are going to breed them out and this will be great shock to them. Will they figure it out? Nyet.

      It's pretty clear that FAMILY is viewed as so unimportant by the Left because it takes away from the 'village' they want to create with everybody thinking the same thing, making the same money, nobody learning the constitution but getting plenty of liberal indoctrination, etc etc... and we can see how that's workin' for our country, can't we.

  11. And now, the belligerent Bolshevik Ducky whines and fills the air with cries of "Name calling! Name calling!"

    Funny coming from a sneering snake who spews venom and treats with contempt all who disagree with him.

    I will say it again:

    Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.

    And Michael Savage has more compassion, and most certainly more intelligence and education than you have demonstrated so far, by far.

    You've must be mentally defective to see these facts and then deny them, screaming instead for even more government:

    Black people are materially poorer and worse off than before LBJ's Great Society.

    Our schools are worse and our children's education level is lower since Carter stood up the bureaucratic monster known as the Department of Education.

    Fannie and Freddie resulted in foreclosures on people who any lender could have told you were incapable of paying back the money, but good ol' Uncle Sam made them lend the money anyway, and Uncle Sam then picked We The People's pockets to make it all good with the banks.

    Take another toke of the hopium hookah, Ducky, before reality pierces your fantasy bubble.
