Pirate's Cove

One thing I have been remiss about doing is linking John Hawkins at Right Wing News. RWN was the first blog I read, before I even knew what the heck a blog was. A few years ago, John gave me the priveledge of cross-posting over at RWN (and sometimes I post an article of interest over there that wouldn’t necessarily be of interest here at Pirate’s Cove). Probably because I do post so much over there that I forget to link up good stories from RWN (same with Stop The ACLU). Here’s a really good one from John, from his Townhall article: 5 Uncomfortable Truths About Liberals

1. Most liberals are hateful people
2. Liberals do more than any other group to encourage race-based hatred
3. Most liberals are less moral than other people
4. Most liberals don’t care if the policies they advocate work or not
5. Most liberals are extremely intolerant

Make sure to read the entire thing.

Now, there is one more I’d like to add:

Liberals are, simply, hypocrites.

John touches on this a bit in in all five. Liberals are, for the most part, complete hypocrites. Think about what they so often advocate

• Higher taxes
• Fair share
• Globull warming regulations and laws
• Tolerance
• Helping the poor
• Reducing the use of fossil fuels
• Guns are bad

The list can go on and on, but, how does it break down? It is always Someone Else who should be made to suffer for these notions. Higher taxes? “That Group should be nailed, not me.” Same with paying your fair share. And for “climate change.” They rarely change their own behavior: that guy must be made to change his. Tolerance? Oh, brother, they have little tolerance for anyone else’s opinion. Helping the poor? Well, the government will do it. Liberals are the least charitable, as study after study shows. Fossil fuels? Well, they simply can’t afford to give up their big vehicle, what with the kids and work and such. But, YOU should buy a Volt. Do your part, bub! Guns? Guns are bad for everyone else. But, they have no problem with one for themselves.

Then there are others, such as military action: most of them were cool with Obama’s war of choice in Libya. Iraq disappeared from the radar the day Obama took office. They didn’t freak out over the expansion of war in Afghanistan. Or in Northeast Africa. Most of them support abortion, but, not for their kid. Same with easy access to underage sex. They’d go ballistic if their child was taken across state lines by someone else for an abortion. They’d want to be notified if their underage child was going to have an abortion. But, they want your child to be able to do all those without a parent being involved.

Death penalty? Well, only for certain people. Support the police? Selectively, especially if they can support cop killers like Mumia.

All in all, so many of the penalties, restrictions, etc. they push should apply to Someone Else, while they get the benefits. I cover this on an almost daily basis regarding anthropogenic global warming. It applies to virtually everything Liberal.
