Liberals are in love with the idea that they are sophisticated and highly intellectual. They bathe in the nuanced and seldom allow issues they strongly support to boil down to anything more complicated then “nice” or “mean”. This makes liberalism quite simplistic and explains clearly why liberals themselves are often ill equipped to deal with complex issues.
It occurred to me recently that liberal, left wing thinking might actually be inferior in many respects to that of children. Not because it’s embarrassing to watch adults who view themselves as intellectually superior thinking like little kids, but because in many ways a child can comprehend ideas that liberals simply cannot.
As a child I remember protesting that life was not fair when things didn’t go down the right way. Almost without exception I was rewarded with, “Life’s not fair” in return. Most kids like me came to understand early on that “fair” was completely arbitrary and depended primarily on whose butt was in a ringer. What is “fair” to one person can be perceived as “unfair” to another and this can be a big problem when the government starts getting involved in deciding what is “fair”. When that government over steps it constitutional authority and decides that “fair” is synonymous with doing favors for the politically well-connected or promoting certain voting constituencies, there will be those who declare that to be “unfair”. Listen to the children my dear liberal friends; life will never be “fair” and trying to make it so is an “unfair” exercise in Utopianism and as many San Franciscan’s are finding out, leads to universal misery.
When I was ten years old I placed second in the Punt, Pass and Kick competition and got a trophy. Most of the other kids went home without one. But every kid out there who went home empty handed knew one thing was certain; life is a competition on almost every level and there are winners and losers. Children know that everyone cannot be at the same level, why don’t liberals? You don’t get a trophy for losing and you shouldn’t, because a trophy becomes worthless if everybody gets one. P.J. O’Rourke once stated, “There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And it comes with the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences.” So if you’re a secretary and don’t think its right that a dentist makes more money then you, become a dentist. If you want to sit around and watch Oprah and Judge Judy all day but want the same amount of money as someone who is working 50 hours a week then that’s too bad, but that’s too bad for you. You made your choice as to what you value more. Nobody owes you anything. Children know that some people are born with better looks, more athletic ability, more intelligence or richer parents. They also know that giving trophies to everyone is non sense and makes everyone mediocre…Listen to the children Mr. and Mrs. Liberal.
I always liked watching superhero cartoons and shows as a kid. I liked them because someone was usually put in danger and the superhero either saved them or helped them overcome the danger through hard work or acts of virtue. Superheroes were the epitome of goodness and they lifted people up to protect others and right wrongs.
Liberals seem to sneer at goodness and virtue. They undercut Christianity every chance they get and will not under any circumstances enforce moral standards. Liberals cannot judge people for behaving badly and those that do are “mean”. They prefer to enforce their pseudo-morality by using terms such as “nice” or “tolerant”. Children know that being good requires a moral code. Children for the most part know right and wrong. Children know that heroes are the people who make this country work, the people who stand up for what’s right and unfortunately what they will later discover is they are also generally the same good people who liberals hold in complete and utter contempt.
I used to drive my mom crazy at the store when I was a boy. I asked her to buy me something about every two minutes. Most, but not all of the time she said no. It didn’t take me that long to figure out that I couldn’t have everything I wanted. This is something most kids learned. Why can’t liberals?
If Liberals decide that something is a ‘good idea’ then it should be funded by the government, regardless of cost and regardless of whether it’s worth the money. Liberals must honestly believe that the government has an infinite amount of money, thus anyone opposing their spending ideas for any reason is “mean”. The United States actually has a higher per person debt load then Greece
So life’s not fair, good people should be admired, nobody owes you anything and not everyone gets a trophy. Most children have these life lessons learned by the time they are ten. When will liberals figure it out?
