Liberal Response or Lack Thereof

It has been very noticeable over 50 years of attempting to discuss racial or socialist matters with so-called liberal  relatives or  co-workers that any breakthrough of new facts or opinions at all contrary to their conformity is blindly rejected out of hand. And the liberal assumes a self-righteousness that vents hatred and scorn toward his opponent personally rather than ever feeling the moral duty to present facts, if any, regarding the subject at hand. And more delusional, to do so with a clear conscience.

In careful listening to these liberal people expound on equality or fairness, I find their motivations to be more dedicated to liberal conformity than ever dedicated to the truth. The roll of their eyes or their exasperated sighs are their only responses or expressions to being compelled to even listen to any point of view other than the stock liberal line. This also explains the inevitable, personal attack on anyone even close to threatening the liberal dogma on anything. The intensity of these personal attacks reach attempts to have the individual fired from his job even if the job itself had nothing to do with the matter, to instigate consumers to boycott a product or sponsorship, and to tie up opponents with needless legal suits or accusations.

I possess no credibility to judge these people's intelligence but there is a clue in their unfathomable persistence in defending discredited liberal political figures. One would imagine that the lies and deceptions of a Bill Clinton, the moral behavior of a Barney Frank and the obvious incompetence and disloyalty of a Barack Obama would convince a cretin to disown them but not so with the average liberal.

The answer is somewhere else and it is in the vast, uncontrollable entitlement programs which consume over a third of annual federal government spending. These programs are liberal "babies" and the left will elect even the most corrupt or mediocre politicians to protect them. And the Democrat politicians never object or call for  any reductions in entitlements because those are guaranteed Democrat votes.

So when an Obama reveals that he has X million dollars for his 2012 re-election campaign, reality must add to that the X trillion dollars spent by his administration on entitlement programs and their guaranteed votes for the man. Very few recipients of entitlements are going to vote against the hand that feeds them.
