LIBERAL THINKING FALLACIES

 

The creatures known as liberals are a breed into themselves. The word breed is used because they are different species of humans.  They believe things that aren’t true and consequently their thinking irrationally is based on untruths. Their thinking is delusional and that leads to the fantasy that they believe is true.

A utopia on earth is their grand design. They actually believe that if they think it then it is true. For example, they believe that the wealthy is the cause of all the problems because they do not pay enough taxes and the money they have does belong to the government. They want to be the sole determinates of the amount one can earn and how much of it can be kept. Their delusion is that if the wealthy will pay more then utopia is just around the corner.

Listen to them speak and read what they write. They have no use for God and are very eager to state it. As with Adam and Eve, they think they can ignore reality and devise better ways of doing everything.  When God created the existence in which we live, he set in motion specific laws that cannot and will not ever change. Yet, the liberals continue to make attempts to defy the laws of economics and morals. They refuse to honor the law of supply and demand, the very basis of our free enterprise, free market business climate. Violate that law and soon the economy is in the tank. Think the housing boom and bust as a case in point. They just will not admit that the Community Reinvestment Act which forced banks and other lending institutions to give loans to the ineligible caused the problem. No, it was the greedy bankers preying on the poor innocent buyers.

Insurance and oil companies are villains in the conspiracy to rip-off the public with high prices and excess profits. The real villain is the federal government which is strangulating businesses with regulations and taxes. Exxon vice president Ken Cohen said, "For every gallon of gasoline and other products we refined and sold in the United States, we earned about 7 cents. Compare that to the 40 to 60 cents per cents per gallon that went to the government (state and federal) in gasoline taxes." The big profit numbers are the result of selling petroleum based products that have nothing to do with gasoline and lubricating oil.

Profits for medical insurance companies are accused of excess profit. However the truth is far different. From Fortune magazine, September 9, 2009 “Health insurers, in fact, ranked below many other industries in profitability, including other health sectors … [and] ranked 35th, with a 2.2 percent profit margin. Health insurers also ranked lower in profitability than medical products and equipment makers, pharmacies and medical facilities.  The liberal reply is mostly “Do not confuse us with facts. We know what is true and it is our delusion and fantasy thank you very much.” They actually don’t say that but they think it.

Liberals in general and deficient thinkers specifically, such as the nut job (aka Barack Hussein Obama), continually spout that government built the republic. If not for government, we would be leading a very miserable and horrible existence when in truth the existence that many have now is miserable and horrible and caused mostly by the meddling and the policies of the liberals who have been more or less in power since 1933.

Supporters of the liberal ideology heap profuse praise on the nut job for his visionary outlook and the lets move forward mantras. They believe all that he says and want more of it. His supporters suffer from the same delusions and engage in the same fantasies that can’t possibly solve any problem. Maybe the delusions and fantasies are Bush’s fault. Yes, that’s it. There can’t be any other explanation.
