Will the Real Liberal Please Stand Up Pt. 4

Defining what "liberalism" is not is far easier than defining what it is. Firstly, the liberal label is a misnomer. Most self-proclaimed leftists value anything but liberty in its truest and purest form. They, to a "t," prefer a massive government who's sole responsibility is to nurture and care for each individual from cradle to grave.


In addition to this bizarre anti-self responsibility are the almost arcane and largely narcissistic admonition that a person's desire to be whatever he or she wants supersedes everything in a moral society. When discussing this topic, one must use caution in misunderstanding the phrase "whatever he or she wants," as the subject has little to do with career and everything to do with self. In other words, if a man wants to become (or identify) as a woman, or vice versa, no one should be permitted to question the desire. I would be remiss if I omitted odd behavior like an adult's desire to identify as a toddler, an animal, and so on. To do so is to insult the individual in the mind of the liberal.


Keeping with this inalienable right to self-identify, comes the belief that a person has the right to abuse their body in any way they seem fit, even if in doing so it may harm others around him/her. In their quest for enlightenment, the liberal will either turn to mind altering drugs, or at least condone the legalization and recreational use, justifying it by screaming, "It's my body and I will do as I please!" This sentiment pervades their thinking, no matter if the influx of drugs kills or disables other users around them.


The perverse desire to slaughter the unborn in the name of a "woman's right to choose" is the most odd behavior (and saying that is difficult, given the complexity of odd behavior so many liberals engage in), given their penchant for human life and dignity. Again, justification for their pro-abortion positions comes not from a scientific assumption, despite their argument to the contrary, but via their proclamation that a baby is nothing but a bunch of cells germinating in the womb.


I do not want to paint a picture of liberals as bad people; on the contrary, I count many leftists as friends. The malfeasances implemented when they hold office, however, are difficult to undo, as social entitlements, once given, are rarely rescinded. Most political office holders fear retribution by those given the entitlements, so the American citizen is stuck footing the bill for a lifetime.
