LESSON ACROSS THE POND

2011 is not looking like a great year for liberalism and liberal politics. In fact it is shaping up into an abysmal failure, so it is interesting to me that they will not even consider abandoning or rethinking their ideologies. The events unfolding in Britain are a harbinger of what can expect to see here in the states if we don’t drastically alter our ways, yet the liberals keep their foot on the big government accelerator, undaunted by continual policy failure and broken social programs.

Every reasonably intelligent person should know by now that increased spending and unsustainable entitlements cannot bring our country’s financial woes into proper order. It has a failure rate of 100%, give or take nothing. Would any of you continue down a path of action that you knew had a zero percent chance of success? For some unexplainable reason, the liberal ideology does just that.

And what happened when the Tea Partiers attempted to restore sanity and hold the line on spending and debt increases? They were not only vilified by the established left, they were referred to as terrorists by the Vice President of the United States! House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi called them a threat to life on earth as we know it! Where do these people come from!

Our national debt spirals upward, validating conservative policies as a more reasonable approach yet their spending addicted opponents still hold on to the notion that too much government is never enough. The liberal left screamed that unless we raised the debt ceiling our credit rating would be downgraded. Republicans capitulated and signed on to the deal. Our credit rating was immediately downgraded. So the liberals simply changed their warnings after the fact and decided that now the downgrade was because of the Tea Party’s hostage taking game plan, not the debt. Liberals are not responsible for what they may have said yesterday. The President ran to his trusty prompter and initiated another round of blame throwing, claiming this mess is every bodies fault but his. Liberals are not overly engendered with a sense of responsibility or leadership when adversity is lurking.

So what can we learn from Britain as their great socialist experiment collapses into abject anarchy? The very beneficiaries of this government largesse are expressing their gratitude as they beat helpless people and strip others naked to prove they have nothing left to steal. As mentioned in the earlier piece, drunken women have justified their disgusting actions on the premise of income inequality. This surely must shake liberal ideologues into a sobering moment of clarity. They must realize that simply throwing money at a project isn’t the answer. You simply cannot solve social problems that way. Remember the 100% rule?

I do indeed understand the underlying causes that continually motivate liberals to live in perpetual denial. Liberals have good intentions. I’ll grant them that. But good intentions alone without substance or understanding inevitably generate the passions of envy and greed from the very constituents whom your good intentions are directed. How commendable is it to foment resentment among the races and different income groups?

How gracious is it to advocate policies that rarely, if ever live up to their promises?

The President’s press Secretary Jay Carney actually said that extending unemployment benefits creates jobs! That of course is completely wrong, ignoring empirical evidence and common sense all at the same time. One liberal Senator went so far as to claim that increasing unemployment pay will stimulate the economy and get us back on track. That tidbit of ludicrous ignorance came from an elected Senator of our federal government! If you feel like crying, there is no shame, I have already.
