No Place for the Religion of Liberalism

I'm trying very hard to practice what I preach... I really am... But this week, so many liberals have made it so difficult. My intent is not to polarize individuals, but to look into the actions of individuals that have conceded their individuality by becoming a component of an angry, mindless mob. So many "brilliant minds", and I use the term in the loosest manner, being heartlessly used and manipulated by their own causes and "champions", again used as loosely as possible. And there is no other way to call it. Not by any logic or reason. Only rhetoric separates the grain from the chaff here.

For starters, I'm not talking about all of the Democrats. Let's just get that cleared up "right off of the get go". And I'm not considering people who have views different than mine. The problem today isn't partisan politics or citizens voicing opinions and concerns. The problem today is liberalism.

Liberalism that teaches that we can't have multiple views in this country. Liberalism that treats people as though they hate the things that they don't agree with; and that disagreement with liberal views and agendas translate into ignorance and bitterness. A liberal religion that is threatened by rationale and compassion. Thought processes that try to polarize and generalize so that we all become part of easier, more identifiable groups so that we rarely have to imagine those who disagree with us as people, but as a opponents and components.

My intent is not to be hypocritical in my views of those who disagree with my own individual outlooks. I think competition, even concerning ideas, is always a good thing. Competition is one of the few good things remaining in our multi-party political system. Thomas Jefferson often spoke of competition in politics as a good thing, and while I didn't, historically speaking, agree with him as a person, in many instances I admired many of his philosophies. Many of us with a political bent would do well to read some of his "stuff", even it is merely a handful of quotable sayings. With that example and point made, I will get back to my not being hypocritical in my intentions; And as I have written in my "treatise on polarization", individuals loose individuality, be it voluntarily or not, in the process of universalism.While the point may be made that the polarization caused by the dogmatic liberal movement directs people away from universalism, it must be understood that the goal is to do away with opposing views, by any means or method, until there is but one "acceptable", universal set of ideals; and it can't even be considered opinion at that point, because there will be no freedom left to disagree.

And make no mistake about it, the religion of liberalism intends to do away with opposing views. Even though the word liberal means wide, broad, free from bigotry, given to freedom, etc. it is a severe misnomer in the case of the liberal movement.

And I'm certain that this will not go over well, but the Democratic Party needs to denounce this movement. And not in the manner of simple rhetoric or political correctness. But denounce this religion by refusing to benefit from radical liberalism in any way, shape, or form. Give back the money "donated" by ultra-left organizations. Refute scandal-mongering media and publications. Sever all ties to individuals who represent any section of this "ideology", for lack of a better word, be it on the level of business, personality, or international in scale. When political parties are forced to do their own "dirty work", I think that some degree of integrity may be restored. When purifying and purging the party of extremists, accountability can come back into play.

While those who support the Democratic Party say that I'm on a modern day witch hunt and that I am being hypocritical, or extremely biased to say the least, I ask that you hear me out on this. I say all of this with the intent to better the Democratic Party. There is very little that I agree with on the Democratic Party platform. I think that the party is not what it once was. And though the same can be said about the Republican Party, I do agree with most of their agenda. I even admire and agree with many Libertarian views. I would like to see many major parties strengthened and "purified". Competition is at it's best when those competing are at their best. We would all benefit from the strengthening of the parties, especially as citizens.

My desire for the Democratic Party to do well is sincere. I have no desire to rid the country of people that disagree with my views. I have no wish to have everyone "look Like me" in a political fashion. So why am I so adamant about ridding our country of extreme liberalism? And how is that not being hypocritical, or at least contradictory?

That is because the liberal religion is bad for this country and bad for our people. I have no problem being biased in this area. And remember, I am not speaking of those who merely disagree. I am against those with a lack of integrity, morals, ethics, and reason. A person may feel that the government does a better job spending my money than I do. I don't think so, personally. Another person may feel that same sex marriage is acceptable. Again, I personally do not. All of us with these opposing views may butt heads and disagree, but we do not have to hate each other. We can explain our views with our hearts and our heads and still maintain integrity. We can stand on the issues we feel strongly about and not be threatened by those who oppose us. But when you demonstrate against war and say that you favor peace, only to moments later overturn cars and smash the windows out of store fronts, then you have crossed the line of reason and ethics. To say that you want to protect our civil liberties, then treat others with hatred and contempt because they won't drink your Kool-Aid, is illogical and evil. To say that you value human rights and stand up for the Dali Lama across the globe, then treat not only your fellow citizens wrongly but the very people fighting on foreign soil for your right to behave badly is not only Un-American, but inhumane. Protect the Terrorist, but to the devil with the Christian...

I could go on, but the point has been made. And I stand on my right to want to rid the country of this liberal religion. No one has the right to hate. No one has the right to destroy innocent. No one has the right to infringe upon another. And I do not hate these far left people. Jesus died for them just as he died for me. Although I get mad enough to fight when I see the injustice, I have no desire to harm anyone. I do not want to turn anyone to "my way of thinking". I do want to be rid of the idologies of those I have mentioned in this web log. Our country would be better for it and so would we as a people. Call all of this what you will, but it is my right to express my feelings and my hopes for our country; and no liberal media, party, or religion will be able to stop that as long as we remain competitive in our approach...Nothing can stop that as long as we truly remain free and not give in to correctness or rhetoric.

And you can take His name off of our money and out of our schools, but you better thank God for America. I hope we never lose sight of that. I hope we never lose sight of our responsibilities. I hope we never lose sight of what makes us great.
