A primer on Liberal Doublespeak, Part 1

A Republican who agrees with a Democrat is a “critical thinking Independent”. A Democrat who sides with Republicans is a “sell-out” or a “Right-Wing Shill”.

A gay liberal is a member of the “emerging LGBT Community”. A gay conservative is a toe-tapping Log Cabin faggot.

A black Democrat is a member of the “disenfranchised voter bloc”. A black Republican is a “race traitor” or an “Uncle Tom”.

An evangelical Democrat is a progressive religious thinker, while an evangelical Conservative is a screaming fundie nutbag.

A gun-toting Islamic terrorist is a “freedom fighter”. A legal gun owner in America is a trigger-happy redneck.

A human fetus is just an “unviable mass of tissue” and can be aborted for free. A bald eagle’s eggs are “potentially” bald eagles, and to destroy or take one is a jailable offense.

Burning an American Flag is protected as “free speech”. Religious doctrine banning homosexuality is “hate speech” and deserving of lawsuits and jail time for the offenders.

Wealthy conservatives are “privileged, greedy, and selfish”. Wealthy Liberals are unselfish benefactors who never think of themesleves.

Liberal-run media outlets only deal in “truth” and hard, “well-researched facts”. Conservative media outlets just “spread Right-Wing propaganda”.

“Blue States” are populated with intelligent, well-educated, thoughtful people. “Red States” are populated with “inbred retards” who flunked the 6th grade.

Democrats are more compassionate because they believe in taxpayer-funded social programs as a means to curing society’s ills. Republicans are mean and selfish because they encourage people to be masters of their own destinies.

A race-baiting liberal preacher is a “concerned social activist”. A traditional Conservative preacher is a “homophobic closet pedophile”.

Wearing a veil over the face in a public school is protected by the “freedom of religion” clause in the Constitution. Wearing a “WWJD” bracelet is a violation of the “separation of church and state”.

Faith-based, atheistic Darwinian Naturalism is “science”. The faith-based, non-religious Theory of Intelligent Design is “biblical creationism”.

Wealthy Conservatives who live in big houses are “greedy, environmental rapists”. Wealthy liberal homeowners who pay others to do their conservation for them through “carbon credits” are “environmentally conscious”.

Big salary and compensation packages for corporate CEO’s are symbols of “corporate greed and excess”. Big taxpayer-funded salaries and compensation packages for public employees are “just rewards for unselfish public servants”.

Taking money by force from an average person is theft. Taking money from wealthy people by force is “social justice”.

White-against-black crimes are “hate crimes”. Black-against-white crimes are “racial frustration”.

Conservatives trust parents to know what’s best for their children. Liberals claim “it takes a village” to raise children, because they think the average parent is a numbskull.

Liberals think the collective is smarter than the individual and the individual should submit to the collective. Conservatives KNOW that 20% of the people wind up doing 80% of the work, and should be rewarded for their diligence.

Liberal Democrats Have NO Energy Policy

That's right... Democrats have NO long-term energy policy, even though they keep repeating the same environmentally correct buzz-phrases to please their Enivronmentalist Masters.

There's nothing more comically aggravating than watching as Democrats on C-Span try and defend their Party Line on energy independence.

Caveat Emptor: No matter how many high-falootin' words all your Democratic representatives spew, like "investing in new green technologies" and "creating jobs in the emerging green sector", remember, they're just words. Notice how NONE of these people can describe any of those "new" technologies, or just what is a "green sector".

Another justification the Liberal Democrats love to toss out is "America's petroleum greed", because the United States, which makes up about 6% of the world's population, consumes about 25% of the world's crude oil. So what? News flash! We BUY that crude, remember? I guess it's "not fair" that the U.S. is one of the most prosperous and technologically advanced countries on earth.

The saddest part is, NONE of the anti-American elitists in Congress are doing anything to set personal examples for the rest of us concerning environmentalism. They still fly around the country in gas-guzzling jets, drive to work in nice cars, and they live in nice, energy-consuming homes on the hill, instead of the 12 x 12 boxes their environmental activist buddies would have the rest of us inhabit. Nice!

But WE REG'LAR FOLKS are greedy, because we choose to drive to work instead of standing for 2 hours on on stinky, lumbering, overcrowded buses; we live in nice dwellings instead of damp caves; and we enjoy the privileged lifestyle that comes with being part of a successful capitalist economy vs. the squalor of a "socially just" collectivist beehive.

Even sadder: the Democrat Elitists, who CLAIM to be the real Party of the People, aren't going to be listening to the people any time soon, even though several Gallup Polls have come out, showing some not-so-surprising results about what Average Joe thinks should be done concerning America's Energy Crisis:

http://www.gallup.com/poll/107542/Majority-Americans-Support-Price-Controls-Gas.aspx

http://www.gallup.com/poll/22171/Majority-Americans-Support-Use-Nuclear-Energy.aspx

What these 2 polls tell us is that American attitudes are changing towards increased domestic oil exploration and the use of nucelar reactors to generate power. More than half of the respondents to both polls favor both. But do Democrats care, even though they claim to speak for "the mainstream"? Nope! You'll find Liberal Democrat representatives at the local, state, and Federal level still chanting their environmentalist mantras: "We need to get away from fossil-based and radioactive fuels and invest in "renewable energy resources."

Wonderful. Just answer the People this question, O Democrat Environmentalist: Since most American goods are transported by rail and truck, just what "renewable resource" do you have in mind for powering a 220 ton locomotive or a 50,000 pound 18-wheeler? Corn? Soybeans? The world's largest hydrogen fuel cell?

And just what do Democrats have in mind for all those power plants that run on natural gas? "Well, we need to explore the use of windmills and solar power." Awesome! There's nothing like a repeat of this favorite liberal slogan.


Let's take a reality break here. To match the 1.1 gigawatt generating capacity of just 1 of Diablo Canyon's nuclear reactors, it will take over 660 windmill turbines or over 30,000 solar panels, not taking into account the facts that windmills don't work real well in calm weather, or that solar panels work lousy at night time.


Diablo canyon supplies power to the residents of San Luis Obispo County. To meet the needs of the residents of Metropolitan Los Angeles, you'll need at least 3 times Diablo Canyon's full capacity, which is 2.2 gigawatts. Can you imagine the amount of real estate required by 3900 wind turbines? And the number of solar panels required to produce that amount of wattage would cover most of the state of Delaware.

But all the Democrats and their liberal environmental puppetmasters keep doing is chanting their "use less" and "renewable resources" mantras without any thought of the actual logistics involved. Sort of like the Aesop's fable about the mice that wanted to put a warning bell on the collar of the cat. The idea looks great... on paper. But has anybody thought about what happens when you actually try and make it work?

Try mentioning that to the Democrats and their liberal supporters.

Don't be surprised if all you get is dead silence, right before the name-calling begins.

Democrats LOVE High Gas Prices


Okay, so it's been ages since I've blogged here. I've been busy with work, training, and moving my familay to another county... Ventura. Now I'm back. And blogging.


Well, kiddies, in case you think otherwise, don't be fooled by the recent dog-and-pony show featuring Senator Dianne Feinstein and other useless Democrats as they "grill" Big Oil executives over the recent explosion in fuel prices. It's all a media circus and nothing more, designed to make the proles feel as if their feel-good nice-guy liberal Democrat representatives are "doing something", like getting tough with Big Oil.


Riiiiiiiiiiight.


The fact is, Liberal Democrats, who've sold their souls to the Environmental Lobby, LOVE the massive increase in fuel costs over the past year. They couldn't be happier, no matter how dour they look on the Idiot Box. Here's why:


1. TAXES... 80 cents per gallon here in the Golden State. That's EVERYBODY who drives, paying an extra 10 to 20 bucks a week in TAXES. All that wonderful extra money is flowing into Gub-Mint coffers, where, even though it's supposed to be a 'road use' tax, it winds up being tossed into the general kitty and used for just about everything else. Here in California, it's especially bad, because gasoline taxes are used to subsidize Public Transportation in the cities, where rider fares aren't high enough to make these services pay for themselves. If we want a freeway renovation or expansion, the taxpayers get suckered into paying for it through bond initiatives... the kind which have sent California's State Credit Rating into the cellar. Oh, yeah, we can borrow money alright... at interest rates which constitute legalized theft.


If you still don't think the Gub-Mint is tickled pink about the increased revenue, just turn on the Media Wayback Machine and review recent comments by Presidential hopefuls Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Both of them proposed giving Joe Consumer a "gas tax vacation" during the summer. But, while we'd think that would mean a temporary suspension of the sales taxes, nooooooooooooo... they're proposing the Oil Companies pay the taxes FOR the consumer. Ain't that great? It's okay to blather on about "corporate greed" as exemplified by Big Oil, but not a whisper is made by either of them about BIG GUB-MINT GREED... not when it means taxing petroleum at 20 percent!


2. The push towards a Socialist Utopia


Democrats have been beholden to environmental interests since the 1960's. Now, with all the news reports coming out of people cutting back their travel because of high gas prices, and even switching over to Public Transportation, the Liberal Socialists are high-fiving even as I write this. So what if gasoline goes up to 4, 5 or even 10 bucks a gallon? They pay that in Europe. With the fuel price explosion, the United States is moving one step closer to being just like Socialist Western Europe... the dream of all liberal political activists.


3. The Global Warming Boondoggle


Algore's "Earth in the Balance", considered holy scripture by the Environmentalist Movement, calls the internal combustion engine a greater threat to the planet than global nuclear war. Imagine all those poor polar bears floating around on miniature ice floes while the rest of us roast in the 1/2-degree-hotter global climate. Just brings tears to your eyes, doesn't it?


Gas prices are a WONDERFUL tool for reducing this ominous threat and getting more people on the buh-uh-uh-uh-us where they belong. We're one step closer to getting rid of our cars, and living in sustainable 'hives', where we can be watched and controlled by smart, environmentally-sensitive folks, who know what's best for all of us. And the polar bears will be eternally grateful!


And here's the icing on the cake: the Democrats can get away with blaming the entire gas price issue on Big Oil and the Bush Administration, in hopes that the public will ignore the fact that they have NOTHING resembling a comprehensive energy independence strategy... they just keep mealymouthing the same old pap about "green' technologies, solar panels, and windmills (I'll get into their lame lack of a REAL energy policy in another post).


The REAL goal isn't energy independence, anyway. It's about the nationalization of all American corporations, period.
