Well, the series on Liberal Logic is complete, at least for now. It has been a huge success, receiving at least two visitors per post. As originally posted, the liberal mindset is full of flawed thinking and contradictory views. For a group that claims to value scientific thinking over religion, they really rely on faith to support their positions. But of course, it’s not really about any of these issues. It’s about Control.
The original series was to be seven posts, but grew into ten. Again, this confirms my Engineer’s OCD. So, if you missed any of them, they are linked below, along with the Redhead or Redneck counterpart to the post, or you can click here to see the whole series in reverse order. I do use a lot of links in my articles, and these are meant to provide reference material or just amuse, so feel free to click through. I would recommend sending your liberal friends over to see why their thinking is flawed, but getting a liberal to understand logic is like getting a giraffe to pilot a wind-powered airplane.
1: Evolution vs. Climate Change:
Liberals love to present themselves as embracing evolution and being enlightened vs. us “Religious Zealots” who hold to the flat earth. Yet they try to keep the earth’s climate stagnant and prevent the whole system from changing and the organisms on it from evolving.
Redneck Recycling:
Whenever I speak out against the liberal view of global warming, it seems that I get accused of being some illiterate redneck. Well, for your information, sir, rednecks have been protecting the environment and recycling stuff before it was hip, and still you look down on us. So I felt the need to provide you with a few examples.
2: Big Government vs. Big Business:
Liberals seem to embrace larger and larger government, yet rail on and on against big business. The very thought that government is always benevolent is in itself a symptom of defective thinking, but I plan to look at it from a logical standpoint and the differences between the two.
There are three main differences between Big Business and Big Government:
1. Businesses cannot place you in jail for refusing to buy their goods or services, or in any other way force you to give them YOUR money.
2. Businesses cannot charge you for services they perform only for your neighbor.
3. If businesses try to accomplish 1 or 2, you can pursue them in court.
3: Capitalism vs. Democracy:
Why is it that so many “Democrats” hate Capitalism, when Capitalism and Democracy are nearly one and the same? Capitalism, in its purest form, is Democracy, every minute of every day, using money to cast votes. A business (politician) that does not offer the consumer (voter) something that they want will not get their money (votes). So why is it that liberals, who identify with the Democrat Party, are afraid of this? Could it be that they are actually afraid of the voters?
Redneck Business:
Rednecks love private business. Except for the 90’s, Rednecks were poorly represented by the government. We also have a poor record when it comes to interacting with government agencies.
4: Evolution vs. Animal Protection:
This is similar 1 above, but here I hope to explore the incessant need to push those dying whales back into the ocean rather than chop them up for food, or to save the Flat-spired three-toothed Snail, in view of evolution.
Animals evolve through natural selection to ensure species survival. This often occurs due to changes in the environment. This can involve human or natural intervention. Yet when humans intervene to encourage evolution, the animal rights crowd goes nuts!
5: Gun Control vs. Government Protection:
So many liberals want to get weapons out of the hands of the people and leave us to rely on government (police) protection, yet they complain about police cruelty and the inadequacies of FEMA.
Without guns, We the People, have the potential of becoming victims of government abuses and excesses. This is the very reason behind the 2nd Amendment. But if the people were disarmed, it would make it much easier for The Party to collect taxes from the evil rich?
Redneck Gun Control:
Tips for good gun control from people that know.
6: Feminism vs. the Sexual Revolution:
Feminism used to be based on the fact that men and women are created equal. Somehow this went hand in hand with the sexual revolution where women are taken advantage of solely for their bodies, and not for their minds. Have you ever met a male “enlightened liberal” who wasn’t also a womanizer (or gay)?
7: Diversity vs. …Everything:
Too many that espouse “diversity” often also espouse policies that actually reduce diversity. I’m talking about diversity of thought, diversity of opinion, diversity of actions. The liberal position seems to be that people are too stupid to do anything for themselves, or make their own decisions, so we are going to mandate these things that we think are good for you. Seatbelts – no dissension allowed. Smoking – no dissension allowed. Guns – no dissension allowed. And these are their good points.
Seeing as there is a lot of money to be made in promoting diversity, the Crimson Apex Solidarity Horde is going into full swing.
8: Money vs. Money:
We have learned from many on the left over the years that, “It’s not about the money. You can be rich in so many other ways!” Yet, at the same time, they make constant calls for more money for this, that, and the other, usually to be paid by “The Rich.”
“Money doesn’t buy happiness.” This is what we’re told by feel good liberals when talking about the accomplishments of some business leader. If that is the case, then why do they feel the need to expand the welfare rolls? These people may already be rich in love. Why do they always demean those who have made it big time for themselves, and for their kids? Why is it that they want to take their hard earned money, if it’s not important?
Those of the Crimson Cranium cabal love money. As such, the Crimson Apex Solidarity Horde is proud to announce their latest program: the Scarlet Collection of Assets Mechanism.
9: Religion vs. The State:
We have heard for many years now about the “Separation of Church and State.” We have also heard that “You cannot legislate morality!” Yet many government programs, from Welfare to Social Security, from Nationalized Health Care to Carbon Credits rely on an appeal to our morality and our often are justified on religious grounds. It seems that liberals are fine using religion to get what they want, but reluctant to turn to it to receive what they need.
In some parts of the country you can be blasted as bitter for clinging to religion, but in redneck country it can mark you as someone who doesn’t hunt and isn’t too lazy to get up on Sunday.
10: The Individual vs. The Collective:
Liberals love to place people in neat little groups, such as Christian Conservatives, Gays, Blacks, Women, and so forth. This alignment of people provides them with neat little categories to lump people into while they can ignore the individuals that make up the groups. The Individual is an anathema to those who worship the Collective.
