Honesty? What good is that?

Observe the bizarre, ever-present conundrum of liberal politicians. They lie.

Now, pretty much all politicians lie -- and that doesn't make it okay. But liberals would never get elected if they ever told the truth. Observe the hapless Walter Mondale. He's the only liberal (outside of hopeless, brain-dead places like S.F. or N.Y.C.) who's intentionally told the truth in years. And, of course, after he tried to get elected on a platform of raising taxes, he got a historic butt-kicking.

Now, Republicans often try to get elected by promising to lower taxes. (Whether they really mean it or not is another story.) But they've got the lucky end of this stick because that's what people want to hear. (Notice that liberals know what people want, but don't actually care.)

Of course, taxes isn't the only issue. Don't you wish you could force feed liberals (well, all politicians, actually) truth serum?

Harry Reid: "I hate this country. That's why I'm so darned hostile toward its culture. We need WAY higher taxes and the rapid breakdown of anything that distinguishes us from western Europe."
BHO: "Y'all are too stupid to know what's best for you. Just give up all your freedoms and the nanny state will bring you utopia..."
Barney Frank Fudd: "I'm for equality for everyone. That's why we have to steal the earnings from the achievers and give it to the bums. We need to lower our standard of living for everyone except me...and the guy who was running a homosexual prostitution ring out of my house. I really like that guy..."
John Kerry: "Can you believe I've got to kiss butt on all these worms every six years just to keep my job? #$*@! constitution!"
Charlie Crist: " I'll say any darn thing I have to to maintain power! I'm having a fire sale on my convictions!"

Liberalism Is For Morons

I just can't get over how stupid liberal philosophy is. I read what liberals have to say and just shake my head and wonder how anyone could be so dense. I wish I was rich so I could just sit around crushing their painfully weak arguments all day.

So let me break down who I'm talking about. I'll begin with some unfair stereotypes because liberals like that so much. While these aren't absolutes, liberalism is generally where you're going to find people who don't think for themselves; those who are against responsibility for anything. You know --
Feminists: people in favor of killing unborn babies but against killing lifelong criminals who will clearly never be anything but a liability to society.
Radical peaceniks: people who truly seem to believe a statement as stupid as "War is never the answer."
Environmentalists: people who will obstruct progress that improves human lives because they found a tiny patch of dirt fostering the habitat of an insect that has three spots instead of the usual two.
Anti-Gun Freaks: people who would happily prevent the entire population from defending themselves by passing unconstitutional laws that criminals would invariably ignore.

I'll also lump some folks together who might believe they're not the same, but are politically indistiguishable: Communists, socialists, liberals, progressives, even fascists. I was participating in a little give n' take on a website a while back when some nerdy guy butted in to try illustrating the (minor) differences between those groups. I pointed out that since they all swim in the same cesspool, you can't really tell where one ends and the other begins. So I'll be picking on them too.

So stay tuned -- especially if you disagree with me; you clearly need some enlightenment.
