Liberalism is the steganograph of the Left. It’s the pattern that conceals the underlying pattern.
The real significance of Barack Obama’s 2+2=5 healthcare declaration is that he now feels safe to brazenly utter it;emboldened to the point where he doesn’t care who knows. Because perhaps the serried ranks of those leftist faithful who ‘never existed’ can now impose his will by sheer main force; through direct coercion.Nor will the leftist faithful balk at their orders.
They’ll elect Blasio; they’ll elect anyone who they anoint. Horowitz confirms what I have long maintained: they exist and they are unthinking zealots. They warn about religion to hide the existence of their cult. Thus, you can never convince a liberal by logical argument; one can only convert them by religious counter-experience. -- Belmont Club » The Three Deceits

Your Say
I say we give them that "counter-experience" called reality.
Their world doesn't exist but that they prop it up with guns and coercion.

It's all well and good to talk about shooting people when your battle plan seems to be putting up with whatever's done to you, but perhaps a REAL Crusade is the only thing which would work here. Maybe sell it that way? Lots of Americans still take faith seriously.

I'm not sure why people even use the term liberal to discuss leftists these days.

Four generations of human beings were subjected to the misery, fear, and dehumanization wrought by communism in the Soviet Union. Ominous storm clouds are gathering on the horizon as police departments are becoming para-military organizations and the right of religious freedom is being overtly gutted. Yet, most in this country go blithely on with their lives. The Illiberal Left will not be stopped until a large majority experience pain on a scale that outweighs the gain received through government "entitlements". The deaths attributable to Obamacare may well be the first real inkling many will receive of the "New Normal". I'm of an age that I fully expect to have my life span shortened due to denial of service, incompetent delivery, or a combination of both. I could wish to be alive to see the juggernaut of Illiberalism slowed, but realistically I won't live to see it.

It stops if we take back the language: just call them communists 'cause that's what they are. The reason they've embraced relativism and twisted our language into meaninglessness is to make it harder to criticise them.
Let's strike back and stop calling them liberals.

Dennis Prager calls Leftism the most dynamic religion of the 20th Century. It's also been called Secular Messianism. David Horowitz observes it is the hatred of the rest of us that unites Leftism and Islam.
