Now, for something completely different, here are the 25 best quotes
about liberals. Enjoy!
25) Whenever I read liberals reporting about the goings-
on of conservatives I always get the nature-documentary vibe. A liberal
reporter puts on his or her Dian Fossey hat in order to attempt to
write another installment of Conservatives in the Mist. I've followed
this particular brand of reporting for years, it's almost a fetish of
mine. Most attempts fail. Of these lesser varieties, there's fear
("Troglodytes!"), mockery ("Irrelevant troglodytes!"), condescension
("I had to explain to them they're troglodytes."), bewilderment ("Why
don't they understand they're troglodytes?"), astonishment (Dear
God, they're not all troglodytes!"), and a few combinations of all the
above. -- Jonah Goldberg
24) There are no bad guys on the left. There are
only people who’ve been driven to desperation by conservative
evil. -- Allahpundit
23) Words mean nothing to liberals. They say whatever
will help advance their cause at the moment, switch talking points
in a heartbeat, and then act indignant if anyone uses the exact same
argument they were using five minutes ago. -- Ann Coulter
22) Inside many liberals is a totalitarian screaming to get
out. They don't like to have another point of view in the room that
they don't squash and the way they try to squash it is by character
assassination and name calling. -- David
Horowitz
21) The reason any conservative's failing is always major
news is that it allows liberals to engage in their very favorite taunt:
Hypocrisy! Hypocrisy is the only sin that really inflames them. Inasmuch
as liberals have no morals, they can sit back and criticize other people
for failing to meet the standards that liberals simply renounce. It's
an intriguing strategy. By openly admitting to being philanderers,
draft dodgers, liars, weasels and cowards, liberals avoid ever being
hypocrites. -- Ann
Coulter
20) 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. -- Evan Sayet
19) It was in the 1960s that the left convinced itself
that there is something fascistic about patriotism and something
perversely "patriotic" about running down America. Anti-Americanism
-- a stand-in for hatred of Western civilization -- became the stuff of
sophisticates and intellectuals as never before. Flag burners became
the truest "patriots" because dissent -- not just from partisan politics,
but the American project itself -- became the highest virtue. -- Jonah Goldberg
18) But all liberals only have empathy for the exact same
victims -- always the ones that are represented by powerful liberal
interest groups. -- Ann
Coulter
17) Liberals have created, and the minority leadership
has exploited, a community of dependent people, unaware of the true
route to prosperity and happiness: self-reliance and self-investment.
Instead, people are told that America is unjust, unfair, and full of
disadvantages. They are told that their only hope is for government
to fix their problems. What has happened is that generations of
people have bought into this nonsense and as a result have remained
hopelessly mired in poverty and despair -- because the promised
solutions don't work. And they will never work -- they never have. -- Rush Limbaugh
16) One of the overriding points of Liberal Fascism is
that all of the totalitarian "isms" of the left commit the fallacy of the
category error. They all want the state to be something it cannot be.
They passionately believe the government can love you, that the state
can be your God or your church or your tribe or your parent or your
village or all of these things at once. Conservatives occasionally make
this mistake, libertarians never do, liberals almost always do. -- Jonah Goldberg
15) Given the religious nature and the emotional power
of Leftist values, Jews and Christians on the Left often derive their
values from the Left more than from their religion. -- Dennis Prager
14) When one becomes a liberal, he or she pretends to
advocate tolerance, equality and peace, but hilariously, they're doing
so for purely selfish reasons. It's the human equivalent of a puppy dog's
face: an evolutionary tool designed to enhance survival, reproductive
value and status. In short, liberalism is based on one central desire: to
look cool in front of others in order to get love. Preaching tolerance
makes you look cooler, than saying something like, “please lower
my taxes” -- Greg
Gutfeld
13) Stupidity is a luxury and you will find time and time
and time and again that those who are overwhelmingly on the left are
those who can afford to be. -- Evan Sayet
12) With their infernal racial set-asides, racial quotas, and
race norming, liberals share many of the Klan's premises. The Klan sees
the world in terms of race and ethnicity. So do liberals! Indeed, liberals
and white supremacists are the only people left in America who are
neurotically obsessed with race. Conservatives champion a color-blind
society. -- Ann Coulter
11) If the truth is boring, civilization is irksome. The
constraints inherent in civilized living are frustrating in innumerable
ways. Yet those with the vision of the anointed often see these
constraints as only arbitrary impositions, things from which they--and
we all--can be “liberated.” The social disintegration which has followed
in the wake of such liberation has seldom provoked any serious
reconsideration of the whole set of assumptions--the vision--which
led to such disasters. That vision is too well insulated from feedback.
-- Thomas Sowell
10) Liberals claim to love gays when it allows them to
vent their spleen at Republicans. But disagree with liberals and their
first response is to call you gay. Liberals are gays' biggest champions on
issues most gays couldn't care less about, like gay marriage or taxpayer
funding of photos of men with bullwhips up their derrieres. But who
has done more to out, embarrass, and destroy the lives of gay men who
prefer to keep their orientation private than Democrats? Who is more
intolerant of gays in the Republican Party than gays in the Democratic
Party? -- Ann Coulter
9) End results that work that don't involve government
threaten liberals. -- Rush Limbaugh
8) In their zeal for particular kinds of decisions to be
made, those with the vision of the anointed seldom consider the nature
of the process by which decisions are made. Often what they propose
amounts to third-party decision making by people who pay no cost
for being wrong--surely one of the least promising ways of reaching
decisions satisfactory to those who must live with the consequences.
-- Thomas Sowell
7) That is one reason "feelings" and "compassion" are
two of the most often used liberal terms. "Character" is no longer
a liberal word because it implies self-restraint. "Good and evil" are
not liberal words either as they imply a moral standard beyond
one's feelings. In assessing what position to take on moral or social
questions, the liberal asks him or herself, "How do I feel about it?"
or "How do I show the most compassion?" -- not "What is right?"
or "What is wrong?" For the liberal, right and wrong are dismissed
as unknowable, and every person chooses his or her own morality.
-- Dennis Prager
6) In their haste to be wiser and nobler than others, the
anointed have misconceived two basic issues. They seem to assume
(1) that they have more knowledge than the average member of
the benighted and (2) that this is the relevant comparison. The real
comparison, however, is not between the knowledge possessed by the
average member of the educated elite versus the average member
of the general public, but rather the total direct knowledge brought
to bear though social processes (the competition of the marketplace,
social sorting, etc.), involving millions of people, versus the secondhand
knowledge of generalities possessed by a smaller elite group. --
Thomas Sowell
5) Everyone moralizes. The suggestion that liberals
aren't moralizers is so preposterous it makes it hard for me to take
any of them seriously when they wax indignant about "moralizers."
Almost every day, they tell us what is moral or immoral to think and
to say about race, taxes, abortion — you name it. They explain it
would be immoral for me to spend more of my own money on my
own children when that money could be spent by government on
other people’s children. In short, they think moralizing is fine. They
just want to have a monopoly on the franchise. -- Jonah
Goldberg
4) If you can somehow force a liberal into a point-
counterpoint argument, his retorts will bear no relation to what you've
said -- unless you were in fact talking about your looks, your age, your
weight, your personal obsessions, or whether you are a fascist. In the
famous liberal two-step, they leap from one idiotic point to the next, so
you can never nail them. It's like arguing with someone with Attention
Deficit Disorder. -- Ann
Coulter
3) My analysis is that most faith based systems depend
upon an absolute moral order. The declaration of things as absolutely
evil or absolutely good, as sin or virtue, puts liberalism into a horrible
position because it's founded on no judgment on anything. As a result,
any faith that is seriously practiced or understood is a challenge to
the politics that depend on constituencies that would rather not
be told that their choices are bad and their lives are not virtuous.
-- Hugh Hewitt
2) The charge is often made against the intelligentsia and
other members of the anointed that their theories and the policies
based on them lack common sense. But the very commonness of
common sense makes it unlikely to have any appeal to the anointed.
How can they be wiser and nobler than everyone else while agreeing
with everyone else? -- Thomas Sowell
1) To understand the workings of American politics,
you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives
think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are
evil. -- Charles
Krauthammer
