15 Lies of Liberalism (Liberals can't help it, lying comes natural)​

By John Hawkins
January 26, 2013


Liberalism offers up a utopian vision of the world and then invites its practitioners to feel good about themselves for embracing it. Not only does this beautiful fantasy world never come to pass, liberalism fails to address the root causes of the problems it sets out to solve while creating whole new disasters in the process. In other words, it's a never ending circle. There's a problem, liberalism is offered up as the solution, it doesn't work and creates more problems, for which liberalism is offered up as the solution, etc., etc., etc. until you're starving, bankrupt, or your society is tearing itself apart at the seams.

Liberalism says that.... See 1 through 15.

"Lying Liberal"

 

[OKTexas]

More proof that liberalism produces results that are the exact opposite of their stated intent.

"Stated intent" yes, but directly in line with their true intent.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Yes! That blog post is proof positive that liberals lie and never accomplish their stated goals. Proof that they do accomplish their unstated goals. Absolute proof.

That link is 100% correct, black label you are either blind or ignorant not to get it.

It's nothing but ultra-right wing bullshit without a drop of truth.

That article is pretty stupid and the author basically tries to control the narrative and definition regarding "Liberals". How come they don't use the more correct description and call those people Progressives? A Liberal believes in liberty and equal rights, liberals support ideas such as constitutionalism, liberal democracy, free and fair elections, human rights, capitalism, and freedom of religion, and the separation of church and state, how about you?

Classic Liberalism V.S. Progressive Liberalism.

The biggest lie conservatives tell themselves is that conservatism isn't dead.

 

[PredFan]

Funny, a right winger puts up an article from a right wing site claiming that the left lies, and then left wingers put up articles from left wing sites that claim that the right lies.

What can we learn from this?

No. The biggest lie conservatives tell themselves is that the modern-day GOP is conservative. It's not. Not by a damn sight.

 

[Oldguy]

Funny, a right winger puts up an article from a right wing site claiming that the left lies, and then left wingers put up articles from left wing sites that claim that the right lies.

What can we learn from this?

That the first liar ain't got a chance.

 

[Borillar]

Funny, a right winger puts up an article from a right wing site claiming that the left lies, and then left wingers put up articles from left wing sites that claim that the right lies.

What can we learn from this?

Politicians, no matter their political bent, are liars.

Look at some of these accusations from that article:

you can have lots of free government services and somebody else will pay for them.

as long as you use birth control that someone else is forced to pay for, there are no consequences whatsoever to having lots and lots of sex

liberals want unity and bipartisanship, which they apparently believe they can accomplish by spewing pure hatred and smearing, demonizing, threatening, and lying about anyone who disagrees with them.

you can fix crime by taking away guns, but by definition, the people who will voluntarily give up guns are law abiding citizens who have no intention of committing a crime in the first place. Besides, if that can work, why doesn't Barack Obama set the example by asking his Secret Service agents to disarm?

It was the deficit creating Republicans who said tax cuts pay for themselves.

It's Republicans who feel Viagra should be free because "lackaboner" is a medical condition.

Just these 15 ridiculous points proves who is spewing pure hatred and smearing, demonizing, threatening, and lying.

The Secret Service should disarm?

You see, this is one of the main problems with today's right wing. They make up craziness and then attack liberals and Democrats for what they imagined those Democrats and liberals COULD have said.

Now when Democrats and liberals point out that Republicans believe in "let him die" and "feed the poor and they will breed" and "trickle down" and "redistribute the wealth to the job creators" and "abolish job killing clean air and clean water protections" and "education is for snobs" and "ending the minimum wage will create high paying jobs" and all the other nutty things right wingers say, they really are pointing out what right wingers are REALLY saying. We don't have to make up right wing nuttiness. I personally wouldn't even know where to start. I couldn't imagine worse than what Republicans already say.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Politicians are story tellers and salesman. Not always liars. But the standard for being honest is NOT the same in both parties.....presently.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Why should I care what some standard issue rightwing idiot propagandist like John Hawkins (the author of the OP's stupid piece) thinks?

Let's just look at ONE example of this guy's spectacularly ordinary ignorance:


My Final State of the Race Report: November 5, 2012 | Right Wing News

Do you idiots here on the right really need to import idiocy? You're perfectly capable of growing your own. You're all right out of the same can of know it all know nothings this guy came from.

Who looks for answers from people who are wrong at least as often as they're right??

Okay, people who can't think for themselves. Like the OP.

While you're at it, tell me when I've ever told any of those so-called lies this idiot blogger claims that liberals tell.

Then run for office. Make a difference.
