Rugerforum.com wrote:The 12 Unspoken Rules For Being A Liberal

1) You justify your beliefs about yourself by your status as a liberal, not your deeds. The most sexist liberal can think of himself as a feminist while the greediest liberal can think of himself as generous. This is because liberals define themselves as being compassionate, open minded, kind, pro-science and intelligent not based on their actions or achievements, but based on their ideology. This is one of the most psychologically appealing aspects of liberalism because it allows you to be an awful person while still thinking of yourself as better than everyone else.

2) You exempt yourself from your attacks on America: Ever notice that liberals don’t include themselves in their attacks on America? When they say, “This is a racist country,” or “,This is a mean country,” they certainly aren’t referring to themselves or people who hold their views. Even though liberals supported the KKK, slaughtering the Indians, and putting the Japanese in internment camps, when they criticize those things, it’s meant as an attack on everyone else EXCEPT LIBERALS. The only thing a liberal believes he can truly do wrong is to be insufficiently liberal.

3) What liberals like should be mandatory and what they don’t like should be banned: There’s an almost instinctual form of fascism that runs through most liberals. It’s not enough for liberals to love gay marriage; everyone must be forced to love gay marriage. It’s not enough for liberals to be afraid of guns; guns have to be banned. It’s not enough for liberals to want to use energy-saving light bulbs; incandescent light bulbs must be banned. It’s not enough for liberals to make sure most speakers on campuses are left-wing; conservative speakers must be shouted down or blocked from speaking.

4) The past is always inferior to the present: Liberals tend to view traditions, policies, and morals of past generations as arbitrary designs put in place by less enlightened people. Because of this, liberals don’t pay much attention to why traditions developed or wonder about possible ramifications of their social engineering. It’s like an architect ripping out the foundation of a house without questioning the consequences and if the living room falls in on itself as a result, he concludes that means he needs to make even more changes.

5) Liberalism is a jealous god and no other God may come before it: A liberal “Christian” or “Jew” is almost an oxymoron because liberalism trumps faith for liberals. Taking your religious beliefs seriously means drawing hard lines about right and wrong and that’s simply not allowed. Liberals demand that even God bow down on the altar of liberalism.

6) Liberals believe in indiscriminateness for thought: This one was so good that I stole it from my buddy, Evan Sayet: ” Indiscriminateness of thought does not lead to indiscriminateness of policy. It leads the modern liberal to invariably side with evil over good, wrong over right and the behaviors that lead to failure over those that lead to success. Why? Very simply if nothing is to be recognized as better or worse than anything else then success is de facto unjust. There is no explanation for success if nothing is better than anything else and the greater the success the greater the injustice. Conversely and for the same reason, failure is de facto proof of victimization and the greater the failure, the greater the proof of the victim is, or the greater the victimization.”

7) Intentions are much more important than results: Liberals decide what programs to support based on whether they make them feel good or bad about themselves, not because they work or don’t work. A DDT ban that has killed millions is judged a success by liberals because it makes them feel as if they care about the environment. A government program that wastes billions and doesn’t work is a stunning triumph to the Left if it has a compassionate sounding name. It would be easier to convince a liberal to support a program by calling it the “Saving Women And Puppies Bill” than showing that it would save 100,000 lives.

8) The only real sins are helping conservatism or harming liberalism: Conservatives often marvel at the fact that liberals will happily elect every sort of pervert, deviant, and criminal you can imagine without a second thought. That’s because right and wrong don’t come into the picture for liberals. They have one standard: Does this politician help or hurt liberalism? If a politician helps liberalism, he has a free pass to do almost anything and many of them do just that.

9) All solutions must be government-oriented: Liberals may not be as down on government as conservatives are, but on some level, even they recognize that it doesn’t work very well. So, why are liberals so hell bent on centralizing as much power as possible in government? Simple, because they believe that they are better and smarter than everyone else by virtue of being liberals and centralized power gives them the opportunity to control more people’s lives. There’s nothing scarier to liberals than free people living their lives as they please without wanting or needing the government to nanny them.

10) You must be absolutely close minded: One of the key reasons liberals spend so much time vilifying people they don’t like and questioning their motivations is to protect themselves from having to consider their arguments. This helps create a completely closed system for liberals. Conservative arguments are considered wrong by default since they’re conservative and not worth hearing. On the other hand, liberals aren’t going to make conservative arguments. So, a liberal goes to a liberal school, watches liberal news, listens to liberal politicians, has liberal friends, and then convinces himself that conservatives are all hateful, evil, racist Nazis so that any stray conservatism he hears should be ignored. It makes liberal minds into perfectly closed loops that are impervious to anything other than liberal doctrine.

11) Feelings are more important than logic: Liberals base their positions on emotions, not facts and logic and then they work backwards to shore up their position. This is why it’s a waste of time to try to convince a liberal of anything based on logic. You don’t “logic” someone out of a position that he didn’t use “logic” to come up with in the first place.

12) Tribal affiliation is more important than individual action: There’s one set of rules for members of the tribe and one set of rules for everyone else. Lying, breaking the rules, or fomenting hatred against a liberal in good standing may be out of bounds, but there are no rules when dealing with outsiders, who are viewed either as potential recruits, dupes to be tricked, or foes to be defeated. This is the same backwards mentality you see in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, except it’s based on ideology, not religion.
So much misunderstanding, and a complete lack of even trying to see the "other side".

You could run a find-and-replace "liberal" with "conservative" or any other us/them pair and it would read just the same. And be just as true in some in some instances.

True - but I decided not to throw that up on their wall - just ignoring it is simpler. :)

The person who wrote this thinks "deviant" is an acceptable way to describe a human being and that the description carries a connotation that should be taken as inherently negative and reason enough for dismissing someone's entire existence.

That's why I like to have guns around.

Most of the people I know that think like this would die off much sooner if we got rid socialist programs like the VA, social security, and medicare. They just want the government to stay out of their social programs and keep liberals from allowing god fearing people to be exposed to blacks, sodomites, and deviants. Many are on their second wifes (or more) and are raising one or two grandchildren from random fathers while the mothers stay at home with them.

The loudest person is almost always trying to divert the attention away from themselves, their actions, their failures, and their children. There's a 90% chance this guy works for the government, is a cross dresser, hits up the local gay bars on Saturday night, before going to church with his wife and unemployed knocked up daughter and bastard grandkids on Sunday. Nothing wrong with that, it's his life, but he should stop projecting his self loathing all over the place.

Thats the fruit of the gun control debate. What he bases his feelings on is anti 2nd amendment liberals. The debate has been a resounding success at splitting the plebs vote. We plebs (99%ers) lose, the patricians (1%ers) a true minority win.

Someone has to say it, and it may as well be me, but... You sound as though you have WAY too much experience for this to be a random thought.... :laugh:

Stumbled across an exchange on a black powder site featuring a bunch of the regular goons sharing fantasies featuring themselves as "reluctant heroes" in some dystopian future where they take to the boondocks with their black powder weaponry to do battle with "Urban Thugs" intent on stealing their corn or whatever. Couldn't stop reading their sad shit, and now i got black flecks floating inside my eyeballs that won't go away.

That site is a confederacy of dunces who'd die if mommy government ever pulled the trough away from their greasy snouts.

My favorite is that liberals don't use logic... yet previously, this writer is extolling faith as more important than intellect.

Willfully ignorant jackasses that can't pick the beam out of their own eyes have no business crying about the splinter in mine.

Next favorite-- trashing environmentalism because they could save more lives otherwise. Apparently, future generations, compounding over time, are definitely not as many people as whomever could be saved by dumping poison into our ecosystem right now.

The level of self-righteous solipsism is astounding. I can only imagine that it comes from living a life with no introspection whatsoever, and apparently just as little creativity and compassion.

I am really hesitant to jump on the "us" vs. "them" bandwagon.

That polarizing attitude is why I left a particular forum: While I count all gun owners as potential allies, those who would h8 on me because I vote to their left, or because I have neater guns than they do, or because I have friends who are "non traditional," or because I support a woman's right to choose, or because I show how corporatists own the .gov--and so on: those people cleave to ideas that I have no use for. They are free to live their lives in what ever way they choose. I will vote their politicians out of office. Because that's how I roll.

Own guns because they are too damn interesting not to.

Shoot guns because it is the most fun I know. Used to be the most fun you could have with your clothes on, but at my age its just the most fun.

Carry guns because of right wing arrogant bastards who think they have the right to tell anyone how to think and live. And truck nuts.
When only cops have guns, it's called a police state.
I carry due to toxic masculinity.......just other people's.

Many folks confuse a 'left v right' issue with an 'authoritarian vs libertarian' one. Armed members of the Proletariat scare those on the 'up' and not those on the 'left' or 'right'.

Folks that think that Rush speaks the truth do not know a thing a bout logical thought nor do they have a frame of reference for it.

Real Rush fans are not dummies. They are affluent and wealthy. Look at the advertisers that he has left: Ruth Chris Steakhouse (expensive dinner), Tax Lawyers (that cater to people owing 10,000 dollars or more to the IRS), identity theft protection etc... It is a miss step to believe these people to be are dumb, because they have a different agenda.

That being said. Rush is aging and heading to retirement. He is an entertainer. His opposition has over-exaggerated and magnified his presence with all the "Stop Rush" groups, etc.
