JOSEPH CURL: The liberal ideology Americans too 'stupid' to know what's good for them
ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Theres something truly terrifying about liberals.
That is not hyperbole: There really is something truly terrifying about liberals. They deem themselves the keepers of the moral good, with only their goals and aspirations worthy, so they dont care a bit about how they achieve them.
For liberals, the ends justify the means always.
And thats terrifying. To liberals, all conservatives or moderates or libertarians everyone who does not think exactly like them are stupid. They simply dont understand the complexities of the world, cant possibly fathom them, or else they would be liberal! Its that simple: If youre not liberal, youre stupid.
To liberals, conservatives want to destroy the environment, murder old people and make sure all children are poorly educated. Oh, and conservatives want women either pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen or in a back alley with a coat hanger. To the intelligentsia that makes up the liberal masses, the tolerance they chant as mantra does not apply to anyone who thinks differently from them.
Whats more, most nonliberals live in flyover country theyre not even smart enough to live in cities like Los Angeles or New York. Thus, theyre hayseeds living in the backwater boonies. Every conservative is a yokel who dropped out of high school and works at his uncles auto shop, probably welding pieces of metal together all day and getting drunk on Schlitz Malt Liquor at night.
The second-most-pretentious throng among the liberal class (college professors are No. 1) are liberal politicians and those who do their bidding. They insist that only they know the one true way, and, worse, they believe that achieving their goals at any cost is justifiable given the stupidity of the masses.
Not often do we get a glimpse behind their facade of tolerance, but just such a peek came last week with the discovery of taped comments of a chief architect of Obamacare, Jonathan Gruber. The MIT health economist who helped write portions of the Affordable Care Act spoke candidly about how top Obama officials employed devious tactics to circumvent what he dubbed the stupidity of the American voter.
This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure [the Congressional Budget Office] did not score the mandate as taxes, Mr. Gruber said in a speech to a health economist conference last year. If CBO scored the mandate as taxes, the bill dies. OK, so its written to do that. In terms of risk-rated subsidies, if you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in you made explicit healthy people pay in and sick people get money it would not have passed.
