How Modern Liberals Think

November 9th, 2008 by drs

Here is a very interesting talk by Evan Sayet (the very first Creative Consultant on the highly respected “Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher” ) on why modern Liberals (“Progressives”) are wrong on every issue.

Now I believe in what you say
Is the undisputed truth
But I have to have things my own way
To keep me in my youth

- from Goodbye Stranger -Supertramp

There was a song that came out at about this time called “Goodbye Stranger” by a group called Super tramp–because, you know, being a “tramp” is super! In it, this guy and this girl shack up together for a couple weeks, and apparently things are pretty wonderful until she says something like, “Honey, we’ve run out of food. Why don’t you go to the supermarket, pick up some things, and then we can do this for another week or two?” He says, “I should go shopping? No, no, that’s not my paradise. I’m leaving.” And as he’s walking out the door, he says to her, “Now, I believe that what you say is the undisputed truth, but I have to see things my own way just to keep me in my youth.”

That is so much the mindset of the Modern Liberals. It’s not that they are not aware of all the things that we’re aware of; it’s that they need to reject them in order to remain in this five-year-old’s utopia that they’ve been told is the only hope for mankind: a mindless indiscriminateness.

So, if The New York Times and CNN and News week and the rest of the leftist media outlets are right and there is no objective difference between the terrorist and the freedom fighter, why is it that you and I teach our children that George Washington is a hero and Yasser Arafat and Saddam Hussein are vil lains? You and I know why because we think.

George Washington risked his personal fortune to personally lead his troops into battle: battles fought nobly against other uniformed warriors for the purpose of creating the freest nation in the history of the world. Pretty noble, pretty heroic stuff. Yasser Arafat, on the other hand, stole his people’s money, sent 14-year-olds out to fight his battles: battles fought against kids and women and civilians in pizza parlors and Passover ceremonies, all for the purpose of maintaining his corrupt dictatorship. Pretty villainous stuff.

But to the folks at The New York Times, there is no objective difference between the terrorist and the freedom fighter. So why do we teach our children that George Washington is a hero? The only possible explanation is that he is a white Christian of European descent. If there is no difference between the behaviors of the freedom fighters and the terrorists, then why do we teach that Yasser Arafat and Sadd am Hussein are villains? There can be no other rea son than they are darker-skinned Muslims of Middle Eastern birth.
