Why
is it that so many liberals who reject the reason for the season seem to
gleefully embrace a season without reason?
Maybe it’s a lack of critical thinking skills. Maybe it’s a large dose of ignorance. Or maybe it’s just a foolish desire for
anarchy. If you can destroy structure
and authority, then you will be “free” to pursue your own selfish pleasures
with neither earthly nor heavenly consequences.
It
appears that liberal lemmings must have a cause du jour and if one does not actually
exist, they will invent one. As a
subchapter in the specious saga of the fictitious “war on women,” the Rolling
Stone article on collegiate fraternity gang rape is the perfect example. Once proven to be baseless, a young liberal
noted that “it didn’t matter if the facts were false; it still placed a
spotlight on the problem.” That’s the
type of lockstep, sophomoric reasoning that $100,000 in student loans will buy
you these days! Then again, if NBC can
doctor tapes to fit their agenda and presidents can deny what is clearly on
tape, why bother with facts, logic, or rational discussion?
The
same is true of the newly minted “movement” spawned by deaths in Ferguson and
New York. Lost to the majority of
demonstrators and their supporters is the simple truth that if Michael Brown
and Eric Garner had not broken the law to begin with, they would be alive
today. They have no one to blame for
their deaths but themselves. Personal
accountability and individual responsibility are anathemas to those who live in
the “I’m so special, I can do anything I want” world of extreme
narcissism. Therefore, they are
“entitled,” by virtue of their self-proclaimed moral superiority to cast
judgment as to the “truth” of any given situation. Damn the facts; full emotions ahead!
As
mainstream media continues to cover the violent and destructive “movement” to
oppose racist police gunning down innocent black youth, why do they not point out
that the premise is false? In all of the
arrests and confrontations by law enforcement in 2012, there were very few
instances of force resulting in death.
While 123 of those killed by police were indeed black, another 326 of
those killed were white. The following
year (2013) whites committed 4,396 murders.
Despite being only 13% of the population, blacks committed an
astonishing 5,375 murders! Look closely
at those numbers and decide for yourself, who is waging war against whom? Don’t let the media and the anarchists drag
you down into their cesspool of unsubstantiated bile.
Pulling
double duty as both a racial agitator and media shill is the omnipresent Al
Sharpton, tax cheat extraordinaire. The
Democrat party and Comcast needs to assess how long they are going to support
this prevaricating provocateur and his incendiary polemics. Can you name a single situation where
Sharpton has eased tension (absent a corporate payout)? Can you name a single situation where he has
brought parties together and offered reasonable solutions? Yet somehow, he is President Obama’s go to
guy on race relations. Now there’s a
definite lack of critical thinking skill!
This $4 million dollar tax cheat in his thousand dollar suits sits
between the president and vice-president one day, and is instigating the
blocking of streets, highways, airports, department stores, breaking of
windows, trashing of Christmas trees, and general hooliganism. As to the execution of the two NYPD police
officers, Al may claim that he too is a victim, but in reality he is one of the
most vocal, nefarious, and vindictive persecutors of law enforcement extant.
Has
anyone from the Democrat party ever denounced Sharpton’s foolish polemics and
deliberate instigation of a race war? Will
responsible Democrats ever put their country’s welfare above ginning up their
base? Not as of this date but hope
springs eternal. Then again, maybe the
moderate Muslims will finally excommunicate the radicals in their midst from
Islam. Maybe Iran will only use their
nuclear power for peaceful purposes. Maybe
Lois Lerner and all those who abused their power and authority in targeting
conservatives will be held accountable.
Maybe the truth about Benghazi, Bergdahl, NSA spying, Obamacare, and the
surge in “amnesty” for illegal aliens will finally be told. Maybe the president will remember that
elections have “consequences” and will spend more time governing rather than
dictating. Maybe the curious coalition
of communists, socialists, anarchists, naive idealists, looters, arsonists, and
drug addled joy riders will come back to reality. Maybe the liberal lemmings will break out of
their media-indoctrinated stupor and do something constructive for themselves
and their country. Until then, they can
continue their adolescent antics and revel in their season without reason, but…
beware the consequences!
