Whither liberalism?
2012-05-25 22:48:00 “Liberalism“, writes Roger Simon today, “as an ideology is in its death throes. Only the power trip remains.” Maybe that explains why the president is having trouble coming up with an agenda for his second term. Roger reached his conclusion, in part, by observing the reluctance to all too many liberals to engage in serious ...

Whatever Happened To Liberals?
2012-04-30 13:36:00 Whatever Happened To Liberals?A Commentary by J. D. LongstreetIt has been awhile since I last saw and spoke with a liberal. (I feel eyebrows lifting!) I mean, let's look critically at whom liberals are, and compare them to the folks who claim to be liberals today.About a hundred years ago here in America liberalism was " ... a political theory founded on the natural goodness of humans and the autonomy of the individual and favoring civil and political liberties, government by law with the consent of the governed, and protection from arbitrary authority." LINK: http://education.yahoo.com/refe-rence/dictionary/entry/liberali-smRead that again. Does that sound like modern day liberals? Does it even come close to describing the folks in the US government claiming to be liberals? Not hardly!Let's look a bit farther.From the Ludwig Von Mises Institute we glean the following:"If one wants to know what liberalism is and what it aims at, one cannot simply turn t...

Liberals Blind Sided By Dog Gate.
2012-04-20 14:27:00 Barack Obama, or his ghost writer, wrote about eating dog seventeen years ago, in 1005.  Yet liberals were gleefully running with the Mitt Romney put his dog on the roof of the family car for months. I assume based on talking points from the White House. Now if Obama were a smart man, or had actually read the book “Dreams of My Father” which bears his name as author, he would not have gone near the subject of the Romney family dog. One inquiring mind, British of course, wants to know why the lams stream press was is so lame, from Tim Stanley, Telegraph(UK): We all know the story of how Mitt Romney took his dog for a ride on top of his car. The Romneys were driving up to Canada for a family holiday, so they stored Seamus in a crate on the car roof. Understandably nervous, the poor pooch lost bowel control on the freeway and Mitt had to pull over and wash it all off with a hosepipe. Golly, I’ve written and read that story so many times I almost feel like I was t...

Political liberals ?far less tolerant of opposing views than regular Americ
2012-03-13 22:46:00 Conventional wisdom notwithstanding, it does seem that conservatives are more tolerant of their friends with opposing political points of view than liberals. We may have anecdotal evidence for that notion, but can’t regularly confirm that hypothesis with actual scientific data. Well, today, we have some data to work with.

Attention fellow liberals/hippies/whatever: GMO corn.
2012-02-22 23:42:00 Why am I getting emails about GMO (genetically modified) corn? Everyone wants me to sign petitions and send tweets and yell in the street about it.As someone who thinks the future of humanity is going to HAVE to have some genetic tinkering, I find this fear over genetically modified plants to be a little silly. If you have evidence that it's unsafe, by all means, let me have it. Otherwise, don't bother.The only thing I'm hearing is "OMG It's genetically modified, BAN IT!" and that's just not enough to convince me to join your crusade against it.My Zazzle Store

Nukes against liberals
2012-02-07 08:03:00 In order to impart their artificial identity to the people, nation-states embrace cultural homogeneity. They need to destroy traditional values so that people accept new ones. In doing so, states, essentially totalitarian institutions, enlist their opposite, the liberals. Liberals break cultural values under the guise of encouraging tolerance to deviations. Civil unions offer homosexuals excellent tolerance: they are tolerated in the sense that they are not being persecuted or discriminated against. But calling their partnerships “families” imposes their values on society, which has to adapt its own understanding of families to the deviants. The difference is not merely semantic, but whether a family serves the societal interest of procreation or is irrelevant to the society, and is just a vehicle for pleasure. Tolerance lessons in schools inevitably turn into propaganda for homosexuality because it is elevated to a norm rather than tolerated as a harmless deviation. Libertaria...

Afghani playground for liberals
2012-01-24 08:49:00 Afghanistan served as a playground for liberal morale. If one read the American newspapers in those days, the liberation of Afghani women seemed almost to have been the reason for the war. And what was that liberation? Removing the veil. Never mind that many women welcomed the veil as a safety measure against male harassment. The real problem is Islam’s extreme sexual restrictiveness, which turns males into sexual predators and makes veiling expedient. Unable to tackle the real problem, the liberals fought its consequences. It was perhaps the first modern war openly advertized as an ideological clash with no strategic relevance: the war of liberals and feminists against Islamic fundamentalists and female oppressors. Whoever had lost in Afghanistan, the liberals won by asserting their power to wage wars against those of different views. Unwilling to wait patiently for centuries until the Afghanis developed their own society through affluence to liberalism, fighting and suffering fo...
