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.
