What's Wrong With Being A Liberal?

It appears that you have totally and completely misunderstood what I was trying to say to you in my post, @Jaspurr Miller . Allow me to try again to explain how things are here at SOC.

It makes absolutely no difference if you are a liberal or a conservative, or neither one. It makes no difference if you are an atheist or a Christian, or if you believe in the Spaghetti Monster religion.
It does not even matter if you like tattoos or not, or what you think about rodeos. We all have different beliefs and opinions , and the important thing is to not attack another person here for their thoughts and opinions.
That is why we have the Report Button and the Ignore Button.

This forum is a small, happy little group of people who , for the most part, look at each other as friends, even though we live no where near each other in real life.
We come here to drink our morning coffee together, share the news stories of the day, and post pictures of our pets, our gardens, and our favorite hobbies.

Now, you have the choice to be friendly and be a part of this happy group, or you can continue to attack what other people write, and then your posts will be reported/deleted/ignored……… the choice is yours.

 

Liberals have always used fear and anger to motivate their voters. They want us to believe that the country is fundamentally racist, we're killing the planet, it's someone else's fault, and they are here to save the day for all of the generations to come.

Yet, the cities where Democrats have been in complete control for generations are among the worst in the nation.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, the go-to resource for leftists wanting to bash the country, says that the KKK had a membership of about 6,500 in their last estimate, and even this venerable leftist organization admits that KKK membership declines every year. Wikipedia gives the KKK a membership of only 3,000 in 2016.

When you consider that the KKK had a membership of about 4,000,000 in 1920, when the United States had a population of 106 million, as compared to a population of 327,210,198 in 2016, we've gone from what was just under four percent of the population to something that amounts to a rounding error.

Since we know the Southern Poverty Law Center exaggerates hate for a living, let's consider Wikipedia's estimate of 3,000 KKK members in 2016. That same year, the WNBA, arguably the least popular professional sport, had an average attendance of 7,644, which more than doubles the nationwide membership in the Ku Klux Klan, and exceeds even the exaggerated numbers given by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Of course, racism still exists, and always will, and not all racists carry a KKK card, but to pretend that racism is rampant - or that it's a one-way street - is a lie, one that's used for political expedience. It's a way to keep people angry, afraid, and ashamed.

As far as climate change goes, liberals like to raise the stakes from one person's life to the entire population of the world. Surrender your liberty now or everyone on the planet is dead! That's one hell of a choice, only it doesn't add up.

The planet's temperature has always fluctuated, and when they got called on global warming, they simply switched the verbiage to climate change, so that no matter what happens with the temperatures, they can claim to be right.

Their predictions are about as accurate as some of the doomsday cults we've come to know and love, but not take seriously.

In the 1990s, we were told that in ten years it would be too late to do anything about global warming. We must act now! We didn't, and ten years later we didn't see anything approaching the promised devastation.

If you're heading up a doomsday cult and you predict that the world will end on Friday, you'll have some explaining to do over the weekend.

But, like some of the doomsday cults we're familiar with, liberals simply set new dates. When those dates came and went, they learned to stop making disprovable predictions and extended the timeline. Rather than giving us 10 or 20-year predictions, they now make 100-year predictions, or longer.

For the sake of our great-grandchildren, we must give up our rights immediately! There's no time to think!

The masses believe it because credentialed people tell them that it's true, the media harps on it constantly, and they even teach it in school. Every time a natural disaster occurs, we're supposed to believe that this never would have happened if not for the combustion engine.

There is an entire global infrastructure in place to perpetuate the lies and the exaggerations because as long as people are afraid, they are easily controlled, and as long as they are bombarded with credentialed propaganda, they'll be confused and likely to question their own brains rather than the lies.

Liberals are easily angered because they can't reasonably defend their worldview since it's based on a belief system that they've never questioned. Rather than discuss, they get angry, they call names, and they do whatever they can to prevent opposing views from being aired.

All of this progressively advances the liberal agenda, while those who are heading up the progressive liberal agenda have no intention of making any of the sacrifices they'd impose on the rest of us.

 

Perhaps the part that this is a discussion forum in which any member can participate.

 

Some people get a little sensitive when it comes to being called racists and so on, and enjoy the opportunity to reply to these insults. Oddly enough, not everyone enjoys being called a racist.
