Right Wing Nation

Liberals are astounding for the twists and turns and irrational and illogical leaps they have to take. Astounding.

Let’s take this one liberal I know. I dearly love her, but she lives in this dense surreal fog that you can’t break through. Recently, she insisted that she does not support a nanny state, but she feels strongly that we must have laws to protect the environment. Uh, okay.

The problem is, no matter what the issue, she *always* feel strongly that we need to pass a law to control what people do–you know, for the “greater good” or “the environment” or “the children” or whatever socialist excuse. Every issue, she always thinks we need laws.

But she doesn’t support a nanny state. Uh, sure. Okay. I believe what she means when she makes that claim is that she doesn’t support the government telling her what to do if it’s something she doesn’t want to do–but she does support the government telling others what to do if she thinks that’s what they ought to do.

What’s wrong with this picture?

Or liberals who insist that they strongly support the Second Amendment (I know several of these), yet vote for/support/send money to the worst gun-grabbers, like Pelosi, Feinstein, Chuckie Schumer, Hilary Clinton, you name it. I’m not sure what’s going on here, unless their hatred of Bush trumps everything else, including their “strong support” of the Second Amendment. Or perhaps this “strong support” means that *if they had guns* they would support the Second Amendment. I’m not quite sure.

After all, it’s the fault of liberals that liberal politicans want to gut the Constitution. The NRA is not a “conservative” organization; it’s a single-issue organization. Pointing out that nearly all the candidates the NRA endorses are conservatives is pointing out that liberals want to gut the Consitution.

Or the whole free speech issue. If you listen to liberals, you’d get the impression the only thing they care about is free speech. Well, only if they, and only they, get that freedom. When a conservative objects to some liberal stance, he’s always trying to “violate their free speech rights.”

Or the “I believe George Bush is trying to take away our rights and that’s why he is playing up 9/11″ liberals. What kind of dreamworld do you have to live in to believe that? Hello. 9/11. 3,000 people were murdered. What part of that do you not understand?

Or how about the “We must have UN support” crowd for insane. And why, pray tell, would we need the support of a corrupt, pro-terrorist, anti-American, and wholly ineffectual organization to defend ourselves?

The thing is, liberals have immediately branded conservatives who are anti-UN as nutjobs, yet every single proclamation that liberals spout supports what those conservatives say. Every. Single. One.

Take the UN. Conservatives have been saying for years that we should not give up our national sovereignty to these clowns. Liberals have responded with thier usual “parnoid nutcase!” remarks. Yet, that is exactly what the liberals insist that we do–subvert our national defense to the will of a bunch of tinhorn dictators and thugs who want very much right at this moment to force the US to give 0.7% of our GDP to that ineffective shithole, foreign aid.

Every. Single. One.

You can’t get a liberal to define “national sovereignty” so that they do not advocate whoring it out to the UN. The reason, of course, is because liberals want very badly to sell us to the UN. They want the US to be forced to do whatever the crooks at the UN want us to do. And while that doesn’t technically make them guilty of treason, it’s close enough to call them traitors.

Nor, once a liberal is whining about how he isn’t anti-American, can you get a liberal to give you once instance in which he hasn’t taken the enemy’s side against his own nation. But he’ll keep whining, louder and louder, until you walk away, disgusted.

And I have no doubt he thinks he’s a patriot. Astounding. Just astounding.
