liberalism as a false religion

You have to understand leftism as a species of religion, because that’s what it is. It has a creed based on totally false assumptions, among which are these:

Human nature is infinitely adjustable, and therefor, in the long run, perfectible. There just has to be a way to make us perfect, and if we keep tinkering away at it, we will eventually find it.

The only practical instrument for perfecting the human race is government; and the government must be given as much power as it takes to do that.

There is no human problem that cannot be solved by Real Smart People applying lots and lots of force, backed up by lots and lots of money.

This is why the things that leftids say sound so bizarre to normal people. Based on the premises given above, they believe government can bring about things that are, in fact, impossible: that fly in the face of human nature and the nature of reality.

What do they promise, that can never be delivered, no matter how much power you give the government?

Oh, just to name a few: income equality; no more poverty; no more war; no more racism, not even unintentional, unconscious, or “systemic” racism; no more bumps and potholes in the economy; no more distinctions of any kind among assorted groups of people (the pursuit of “diversity” through coerced uniformity); no more “hate”; they’ll “fix” the climate, controlling vast natural processes that no one truly understands; total sexual liberation, including stress-free “gender reassignment”… Or, to sum it up, as G.K. Chesterton might sum it up, Everything For Everybody–all brought to you by an all-powerful state operated by all-wise managers.

Is this a load of poop, or what?

Leftids, for the most part, don’t believe in God. But they want all the blessings God can give us, and look to receive them at the hands of government. That’s what makes it a religion. That’s what makes them tick.

You can’t appease them. You have to defeat them.

I’m still getting it from the conservative who doesn’t think the Bible is all it’s cracked up to be, and the liberal Catholic who thinks there were no Adam and Eve and Satan is probably just a metaphor. Both doubt my persuasive powers, and both would like to know whom I think I’m reaching with this blog. And they’re not the only ones who’ve asked me that.

In addition to preaching to the choir–I prefer to think of it as rallying a band of brothers and sisters, like-minded souls, we happy few–I’m speaking to persons who have been intimidated by secular humanists and other liberals. I know I’m not preaching to the conversion of leftids. If I ever heard from any lib, “Hey, y’know what? You’re right–Global Warming really is nothing but a power-grab by wicked lying grubs,” I’d run outside and turn a cartwheel. I know it’s never going to happen.

The biggest weapon in the liberal’s bag of tricks is his claim to be an intellectual, a terribly smart person who just must be taken seriously. This is what intimidates people who haven’t made up their minds about an issue. “Wow! If all those smart people in college say Donald Trump’s a racist, maybe he really is a racist!” I have simplified here to make my point.

Normal people in possession of a modicum of modesty will not easily put themselves in the shoes of someone who thinks he’s God’s gift to the human race and probably smarter than God Himself. They may be slow to realize that what they’re hearing is pure tommyrot–because they themselves are not in the habit of spouting such bilge.

Therefor I ridicule liberals and their absurd ideas, most of which are also very wicked ideas with great potential to harm innocent bystanders. If my audience can be made to laugh at liberals, they will soon find it in themselves to see through them.

The only thing about libs that isn’t funny is what they’ve done to this country, and what more harm they hope to do.

P.S.: I have just discovered it’s possible for me to “Like” my own post. It was just an experiment; please don’t anyone take it seriously.
