As a conservative, I feel compelled to call out liberals for what they are and what they represent - a danger to the United States. Following are ten key points that demonstrate how damaging liberalism is to our country.
1) Liberals will ferociously defend and even happily echo the lies of other liberals. Liberal feminists will defend Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy. Liberals who pride themselves on being tolerant of other races will support Robert Byrd. Why? Because even if they're wrong, they're still fellow liberals -- which must mean they’re nice people. What this leads to is an attitude that can be summed up like so: "The only things that a liberal can do wrong is to be insufficiently liberal, to question an important plank of the liberal agenda, or to do something politically that aids conservatives."
Conservatives, on the other hand, just by virtue of being conservatives, are mean at best and evil at worst. Is it wrong to lie about an evil person? Technically, "yes," but there's a reason "two wrongs don't make a right" is said so often -- it's because so many people do believe "two wrongs do make a right." Moreover, what about defending the indefensible? Well, is it wrong to defend a good (liberal) person who is being attacked by an evil (conservative) person, even if it's justifiable? At the gut level, most liberals don't think so. Why can't conservatives ask questions about Barack Obama's background? Why can't we learn more about him as a person? What is he hiding? We cannot ask - for fear of being labeled "racist" or "mean-spirited", even is such questions would help America.
2) Liberals display a "blame America first" attitude. Why do they judge America so harshly while ignoring the inhumane policies of other nations? To praise the United States would amount to suggestion that we are "better" than other countries. Liberals cannot accept this. It explains why liberals reject or have contempt for patriotism. It appears as though liberals feel morally superior to rant about what is wrong with America. Plus, when people from other nations agree with them, then that makes them feel even better.
3) Liberals believe it is a sign of intelligence to question or reject what conservatives believe. A typical liberal stereotype portrays conservatives as sheep - who cannot think for themselves. By saying this, liberals think they demonstrate how smart they are. When in reality - who are the sheep? Do liberals ever think for themselves? Look at Joe Lieberman and what the Democrats did to him when he thought on his own - and agreed with conservatives on some issues! He was sent out to pasture and became an Independent.
4) Liberals posses a core attitude which rejects the traditions - conduct, established religion, the definition of marriage, teaching styles and what is right and wrong. In the liberal world, criminals cannot be blamed for their own conduct - society is to be blamed. We are all at fault. However, there is a greater hypocrisy at work here. When a nut job in Tennessee (Jim Adkisson) kills several people in a church because "he hates liberalism", then it's the fault of conservatives. Yet, when the rhetoric of terrorists is echoed in our own country by liberals, why isn't that taken into account that maybe, just maybe, liberalism is encouraging terrorists to kill us?
5) Why do so many liberals have so much confidence in the United Nations? The United Nations - corrupt, anti-American and totally incompetent. Yet, the UN provides a "feel good" opportunity for liberals. They donate money to the poor in some third world country - which results in the money being wasted or stolen by corrupt governments. Yet, it makes liberals feel good, but accomplishes nothing.
6) The liberal obsession with gun control clearly shows the disdain that liberals feel towards "redneck conservatives" who like to hunt and posses weapons. Because conservatives champion the right to bear arms, it must be bad. And remember, in the liberal world, every benefit is given to the criminal element. Honest citizens must not be allowed to protect themselves. Yet criminals can have the weapons and continue to commit the crimes.
7) Liberals continue to support abortion, while protesting against the death penalty. If there ever was a hypocrisy, here it is. Liberals don't mind the slaughtering of unborn, innocent infants. But just try to put a guilty mass-murderer, rapist or any other heinous criminal to death and they will protest till the sun goes down. Sure, let the evil-doers survive while the innocent are killed. Liberals view criminals as doing bad or inappropriate things, but it is not their fault. Rather, it is the result of external factors or forces that they have no control over. Here's where the chant "Islamic extremists want to kill us because we made them that way" comes in. No one is to blame for their own actions. Liberals don't believe in personal responsibility.
8) Liberals have an inherent hostility towards religion. That is because religion sets certain rules. People are to behave in a good manner. If they don't, they have sinned. There are consequences. Likewise, religion promotes the strength of marriage between a man and a woman. The strength of family. If you don't do good in your life, and don't follow the right path, you have sinned. Liberals don't like things that make people feel bad. And to believe in Jesus is something to be ridiculed about - how silly those who believe in a power greater than themselves are! Conservatives believe there is a God, liberals believe they are God.
9) The value of personal freedom. What the United States stands for. However, we see day after day, "personal freedoms" that the liberals don't approve of are being slowly taken away. Look at smoking for instance. Our government has determined that private business owners - in Wisconsin - cannot let patrons smoke in their establishments. Isn't that pushing the boundaries of "personal freedom"? Or whether or not we can use trans-fats in cooking? Since when did the government try to tell us how we can cook? As long at the freedoms the government takes away are OK with liberals, then it's no big deal. It's OK to have an abortion, but not OK to have a gun to protect yourself. Go figure.
10) And last, but not least, liberals want to deny jihad's eagerness to kill us all. 9/11? Remember the reaction of many liberals: Was it a plot by Bush/Cheney? We're making a big deal out of nothing!!! We deserved it! Why did the terrorists want to kill us? - we need to understand them......
Yet, Jihadism is not a reaction to America's foreign policy. It is a historic reading of the Koran as understood by many imams. Jihad is one of Islam's authentic traditions. They (the terrorists) seek to conquer and create a global Islamic empire. Our survival depends on their defeat - plain and simple. This will not be accomplished by negotiations. Terrorists do not negotiate. This will be accomplished by a courageous military force - the wars currently being waged in Iraq and Afghanistan.
To liberals, having to admit that the true face of Islamofacism would mean having to concede the necessity of phone surveillance, tough interrogations, common sense profiling, a reliance on the CIA and FBI as well as a strong military all things that would shatter the liberal world. Everything I mentioned stands for what liberals have been taught to disdain. The liberal message regarding the war in Iraq is - the United States must lose.
That is a clear and present danger to the United States.
When one puts selfishness and the quest for power over the love of country - like the Democrats and liberals are doing, the civilization as we know it will die.
