Prager Nails It!

One of the more dangerous features of the Left has been its replacement of moral categories of right and wrong, and good and evil with three other categories: black and white (race), male and female (gender) and rich and poor (class).

Therefore the Left pays attention to the skin color -- and gender (not just "whites" but "white males") -- of the tea partiers rather than to their ideas.

This is why the first response to me from many of the liberals here regarding AZ's immigration suggested racism or hate when they hadn't even read the darn law, nor did they even think it was appropriate to discuss the ideas. Liberalism is a mental disease causing serious but delusional and stereotypical reactions to common sense principles and laws. They believe enforcing the law is discriminatory. This is the product of leftist professors in so many of our universities. Political correctness has infected their minds and intellectual curiosity and seeking the truth is foreign to them. These young students are just not taught how to think critically about anything. They just mindlessly accept the liberal mantra being offered by whomever happens to be in power (professor, politician, etc). To hell with logic and challenging ideas and thinking about what they believe and why they believe it.

I guess that's why Winston Churchill said: "If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain."

From the article: "One would hope that all people would assess ideas by their moral rightness or wrongness, not by the race, gender or class of those who hold them. But in the world of the Left, people are taught not to assess ideas but to identify the race, class and gender of those who espouse those ideas. This helps explain the widespread use of ad hominem attacks by the Left: Rather than argue against their opponents' ideas, the Left usually dismisses those making the argument disagreed with as "racist," "intolerant," "bigoted," "sexist," "homophobic" and/or "xenophobic."


This opinion I will agree with you on, but the attack on liberal professors in the educational system has nothing to do with it. Some of the "young people", you're harping about, might have learned this values at home, or by way of the television, because of how broken down the concept of family dinner around the table and real communication doesn't exist due to how busy schedules and activities have become. I'll admit, I do want to take all of the information about the issue into account before I decide that I'm for or against something. That might still be a knock on my liberalism, but I'm just tired of being lumped in with every liberal that doesn't agree with your staunch, sadistic conservatism that says, "If you don't want to think like me, then keep walking because I'm not listening".
