It’s Better to be Hated by Liberals Than Have Their Help. – Townhall

Posted: Aug 05, 2017 12:01 AM

Liberals do not believe in the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness which are American ideals, or at least they used to be. If you love freedom, then you will be hated by the modern liberal who believes that government should regulate individual freedom. If you love freedom and believe that the state does not own you, then leftist hate should be a goal, not a fear. Dr. Helen Smith

I thought of what Daddy had said when I asked him why hed never gone on public assistance. Because they take away your manhood, he said. Clarence Thomas

Most liberals are hateful people. As hateful as Nazis. As hateful as KKK members. As hateful as Fred Phelps and his God hates f@gs wackos, who are, come to think of it, Democrats. Liberals are as much defined by whom they hate as what they believe in.

They hate straight, white males and non-liberal white people in general. They hate Christians. They hate Republicans in general and conservatives in particular. They hate women who dont tow the feminist line. They hate the wealthy, business owners, bankers and stockbrokers. They hate southerners, gun owners, soldiers and cops. They hate gay Americans and minorities who dont want liberal help.

The Left is no longer subtle about its hatred. It comes shining through like a beacon on a black night. Liberals hurl abuse at these people, attack them on social media and reward liberals who make the most vicious attacks on those groups.

Yet, over time, liberal complaints have become a badge of honor. In fact, if there arent liberals lobbing hate at you, youre probably doing something wrong.

If you look at the groups liberals hate the most, youll usually find theyve got their sh*t together. What groups of people do liberals believe its okay to discriminate against based on their skin color? Whites and Asians. Which two racial groups are doing best in America? Whites and Asians. Who are the most competent people in America? The ones youd want on your side if things got bad because they know how to make things happen? Business owners, cops and soldiers. Because they live in the real world where they must make tough choices, theyre detested by liberals who snipe from the sidelines while avoiding the tough, dangerous dirty work those groups have to do. Christians? The fact that they try (and sometimes fail) to make their lives better by adhering to a strict moral code makes them hated by liberals who have no code at all. Gun owners are willing to take responsibility for their own safety by learning how to use a potentially dangerous tool. Liberal hatred of stockbrokers is a favorite of mine because it reminds me of one of my favorite stories from the liberal Occupy protests.

When the Occupy hippies gathered outside the Chicago Board of Trade building to yowl about how unfair it was that stockbrokers make so much money, the traders responded by showering them with McDonalds job applications. Of course, even that cruel joke (Go get a job at McDonalds) makes more sense than the liberal solution, Go to a protest to complain that other people make more money than you. This is so typical for the Left. You think bankers and stockbrokers make too much money? Then maybe you should be a banker or stockbroker.

Of course, thats a conservative solution. Go forth and take responsibility for making your own life better. In fact, the very reason that conservative minorities like Ben Carson, Ted Cruz and Herman Cain are hated by liberals is because theyre living examples of that message.

Meanwhile, how do liberals help minority Americans? Hows Compton looking these days? How about Chicago? Flint, Michigan? Liberal help means living in poverty in terrible neighborhoods, but always having someone else to blame for your failed life. It means feeling angry, victimized and hated by people whove never thought twice about you while liberals promise to help you by tearing down statues of Confederate generals. That doesnt put money in your pocket, but it makes cosmopolitan liberals feel better about themselves.

This is usually how liberal help turns out for people.

Transsexual men, you dont have a mental illness! Mutilate yourself through surgery and libs will claim that the guys who dont want to date you and the women who dont want to share a bathroom with you are bigots! Lord knows you wouldnt want to suggest mentally ill people get psychological treatment instead of life-altering surgery.

Liberals help the poor by raising the minimum wage, but shrug their shoulders when it inevitably causes large numbers of poor Americans to lose their jobs. Conservatives who quite correctly predicted that would happen are called heartless.

Liberals will hand you welfare, food stamps and public housing. You just have to give up your pride and self-reliance in exchange. Its like that scene from 300, where Xerxes says to Ephialtes, Unlike the cruel Leonidas, who demanded that you stand, I require only that you kneel. Its conservatives who want people to stand on their own two feet and liberals who need their adoration in return for their pathetic help.

Liberals love to see women kill their babies so much that Susan Smith should be their patron saint, but are they going to be there for those women down the line when theyre alone one day, thinking about how they killed their own child? Yet, conservatives who encourage sexual responsibility are mocked and those who oppose killing children are called anti-choice.

Lefties love to encourage college kids to act like snowflakes. Why, their tender ears cant be expected to listen to contrary opinions! So, what happens when little Jimmy the Snowflake walks into a work environment where nobody cares about his opinion, what offends him or his personal problems? Next thing you know, little Jimmy is living at home with mom and dad again because he cant hold a job. How about exposing these kids to contrary opinions and refusing to treat them like theyre made of glass? Apparently, thats cruel and horrible!

You want an easy way to tell if someone is a loser at life? All you need to do is look for the people who need liberal help to make it. Want an easy way to tell when those same people are pulling their lives back together? Watch to see when they dont want any more help and want to start taking care of themselves. Liberalism is for poor people who are content to stay poor. Conservatism is for poor people who want to make a better life for themselves. Lefties love to tell you that theyre looking out for the most disadvantaged people in society, but they never want to admit that their help may be the biggest disadvantage those people have.

Who Is Saying All Those Mean Things About Liberals? – HuffPost

After the election of 2016, as many others, I was surprised, disappointed, and fearful. So as a result I frequently liked or shared a number of the liberal sites of Facebook. There were just a few progressive sites that showed up on my Facebook page and I would respond to them.

Now eight months later it seems that the number of those democratic, progressive, liberal sites has multiplied ten-fold. They almost seem to dominate my entire Facebook site. Many of them have shown up uninvited by me and unacknowledged by me.

The thing that is a bit disturbing is that the claims and the statements that are reported on these more liberal sites are, indeed, almost fake news. There is the constant refrain that something has happened that will surely bring the current administration to an end. This new event that is breaking news will be the end of atheist Trumps presidency. Or maybe, one of the children will be expelled from the White House, or the smoking gun on Russian involvement has just been discovered. Every day these kind of extreme exaggerated claims are put forth on these liberal sites. The claims they make are seldom supported by stories from the major news sources of the New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR or BBC. These liberal sites seem to be contributing to the climate that encourages this great debate about what is fake news and where is honest reporting. These sites may think they are inspiring the liberal base, but this hardly seems the best way for that to happen.

The other thing that is appearing is the consistent commenting on these liberal, progressive sites a barrage of alt-right attacks. A negative, vile, locker room attack is now the first comment under each of these liberal post. The impression that is given is that this is an organized and systematic program of insulting the posts and the people who read them. The names of the people who post these nasty and hateful comments are not your standard, normal names. These comments have no content other than curse words, vulgar slurs on the people who like these sites and to gloat that the atheist Trump will be president for eight years.

In this nasty and deeply divided society, with all kinds of people and ideas trying to manipulate the public, one has to wonder whether the Republican party has enlisted a group of people to be active in attacking these liberal sites or whether perhaps the liberal sites themselves have put these vile comments there to evoke from the readers more responses and more participation.

As Kris Kristofferson said it is getting harder to separate the winners from the losers, the good guys from the bad guys.

Democrats don’t need to be afraid of antiabortion liberals – Washington Post

By Kristen Day By Kristen Day August 3

Kristen Day is the executive director of Democrats For Life of America and advocates for a pro-life voice within the Democratic Party.

On Monday, Rep. Ben Ray Lujn (D-N.M.), the Democratic Congressional Campaign chairman, announced there will be no litmus test based on abortion for Democrats seeking office in 2018. As we look at candidates across the country, you need to make sure you have candidates that fit the district, that can win in these districts across America, Lujn said.

This attention to local values and interests was the crux of Howard Deans 50 state strategy, which earned the party victories across the country in 2006 and 2008. As Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez put it back in April: In order to execute a 50-state strategy, we need to understand whats going on in all 50 states, and attract candidates who are consistent with their messages but perhaps not on 100 percent of the issues. If you demand fealty on every single issue, then its a challenge.

Still, many Democrats were horrified by Lujns remarks. Shame on Democrats backing anti-choice candidates, Guardian writer Jamie Peck declared, for acting as if issues like abortion dont have profound economic implications. Of course abortion should be a litmus test for Democrats, New York Times contributing columnist Lindy West added.There is no recognizable version of the Democratic Party that does not fight unequivocally against half its constituents being stripped of ownership of their own bodies and lives. Plenty more chimed in along those lines.

[Democrats could crush the GOP, if only they would welcome antiabortion liberals]

But when Democrats or others on the left bash the party for funding Democratic candidates with whom they disagree on abortion, they miss a key point: Democrats who oppose abortion arent like Republicans who oppose abortion. Not only are their priorities different, so are their policies. While Republicans who oppose abortion usually aim simply at banning the practice or making it difficult, Democrats who oppose abortion tend to take a whole-life approach, and to focus especially on reducing incentives to have abortions, rather than creating penalties.

Consider Pecks allegation that by funding candidates who oppose abortion, the Democratic party is de facto refusing to consider the economic aspects of abortion. Nothing could be further from the truth. Democrats who oppose abortion are keenly aware of how many abortions are the result of financial stress and economic pressures, and we advocate constantly to reduce those burdens.

Signed into law along with the Affordable Care Act were several legislation proposals crafted by Democrats for Life of America called the Pregnant Women Support Act. We intended our proposals to reduce abortion by getting rid of many of the forces that push women toward abortion in the first place. We moved to eliminate pregnancy as a pre-existing condition for insurers, require State Child Health Insurance programs to cover mothers, fully and federally fund WIC and provide federal funding for day care. Likewise, when Senate Republicans moved last year to institute a 20-week ban on abortion, we at Democrats for Life of America urged legislators to include a paid family leave package along with the bill, with the aim of reducing financial burdens on pregnant women and their families. And in 2012, antiabortion Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) introduced the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, a law that would ensure that pregnant women receive reasonable adjustments on the job and that they dont face retribution for asking to be accommodated.

[Everyone agrees women who have abortions shouldnt be penalized. Or do they?]

In other words, one of the factors that best distinguishes Democrats who oppose abortion from Republicans who do is the very fact that Democrats are cognizant of the pressures that finances and the economy can place on a persons life, and we are invested in freeing people from them to the greatest degree possible.

But perhaps more important, it simply isnt true that, as West implies, antiabortion Democrats are comfortable with women being stripped of ownership of their own bodies and lives. If supporting pregnant women with government programs and employment protections isnt enough proof of antiabortion Democrats commitment to womens health, safety and liberty, antiabortion Democrats have also argued for higher minimum wages and for expanding services available to pregnant victims of domestic violence, stalking and other forms of abuse.Democrats who oppose abortion want to stopabortion, but that doesnt entail a wholesale stripping away of womens autonomy, as the policies outlined above indicate. And it certainly doesnt imply a disregard for womens lives.

The abortion debate is polarized and often extremely bitter. Its easy to imagine that there really are only two sides: yours and the other guys. But Americans views on abortion are mostly in the gray area between always legal and never legal, and each persons moral perspective will be nuanced by his or her own values and experiences. When Lujn says that Democratic candidates who run for office in districts with strong antiabortion leanings deserve funding from the party, he isnt saying that the party is going to fund candidates whose positions are tantamount to those of Republicans. Hes rightly observing that Democrats real, bona-fide Democrats do have a range of views on abortion, and to win as many elections as possible, the party has to recognize that.
