There was a time in western democracies when liberals were
pleasant people/politicians who genuinely wanted the best for the greatest
number of citizens, and were willing to work within a representative government
to achieve their goals. In retrospect
it seems that this period of innocence on the part of liberals and the
un-liberal changes they’ve undergone in recent years is related to their
influential positions in government and the press/media, because now that there
is a leftist-liberal/progressive president in the U.S.and the major sources of
“news” are largely liberal they exert maximum control over the news and
actively seek control over what we, as citizens, say and do.
We can no longer have manger scenes at Christmas. We can no longer fly the flag most places
for fear of offending someone. A cross representing a tribute to American
soldiers is prohibited. We must say
“work-place violence” when speaking of a terrorist attack at a military
base. We must not state that we are a
Christian nation. Obama denies that the
ISIS terrorist group is Islamic (even though they think they are). Obamacare is
good, period. News about Jonathan
Gruber is not allowed on some major cable news channels. Bob Beckel has repeatedly stated that if it
were his decision to make, the government would completely control healthcare
in America (he would allow no freedom of choice, no competition of thought, and
it appears that liberals in the media won’t report stories contrary to this
liberal opinion). The IRS “lost” emails
to and from Lois Lerner concerning the denial of tax exempt status for
conservative groups and all we get from the liberal press is an “oops, too bad,
let’s move on” response. Four Americans
are killed in Benghazi and it’s another “oops, darn those nasty
demonstrators”. Obama lies about
everything, every time and the liberal press never complains and often doesn’t
even admit that lies have been told, and when it becomes overwhelmingly obvious
Obama has told another lie, it’s always “both sides do it” (when Nixon was
lying about Watergate conservatives complained loudly about it and opposed
Nixon for being so corrupt but never tried to lessen Nixon’s offense by saying
that “both sides do it”), but liberals are silent about Obama’s lies.
Modern day liberals/progressives are dangerous and
intolerant and are a threat to a free, democratic society. Once they are installed in positions of
power they see themselves as owning that position and won’t allow the thought
of a conservative being elected to it (remember the “Kennedy” Senate seat from
Massachusetts vacated by the deceased Senator?
The message was: Conservatives need not apply).
It may be that only conservatives of a “certain age” will recall
the televised news conference held by Richard Nixon during the Watergate era in
which Dan Rather screamed at the top of his voice “when are you going to tell
the truth?” The press is no longer
demanding the truth when their guy is president. But we conservatives at that
time agreed that Nixon was wrong, and he soon resigned his office and left the
national scene. Obama would never,
ever, under any circumstances resign the presidency; he has too many more “fundamental
changes” to make to America in his last two years and nothing will stand in his
way of destroying this nation.
The more control liberals/progressives get, the more they
want and the more dangerous they become.
