I don't like liberalism. I didn't like it when I was a boy, I have never liked it, and the older I get, the more I dislike it. I see it as pure Evil. On most things in life there are pros and cons, pluses and minuses, two sides to the question. But on liberalism I see it as Black and White. Liberalism is atheistic, godless, straight from Satan himself. It is lie. It is moral lie and economic lie. It is a fraud, a cheat. And more and more it is dominating in this society. It is dominating in our schools, elementary through university level. It dominates in the news media. And it is dominating in the government. Every year it gains more and more ground. Legislation coming out of our Congress is liberal and has been for years. It has now taken us to the point where the country is condoning homosexuality. School children are being taught that homosexuality is perfectly acceptable, just another life style. In all my pessimism I would never have guessed that things would get this bad. I would never have believed that this country would have gotten to this point. I find the current situation very, very disturbing - and depressing. I cannot think of it without feeling deeply disturbed and depressed. Secular humanism. Atheism. Modernism (in Christianity). Moral relativism. Socialism. In my mind I lump them all together as liberalism. They are all similar and closely connected. I have always felt a natural antipathy for them. I am sure the feeling is mutual. They all hate Capitalism. I believe in Capitalism. One of their characteristics is they want a welfare state, a state where everyone is taken care of. Who takes care of everyone? The State. And how does the State take care of everyone? Utilizing taxation as the tool, it takes from Peter and gives to Paul. One group in society works and produces and another group lives off them. One group of people pull the cart and another group rides in the cart. Until the hardworking, successful, affluent producers quit working or leave the country and Capitalism dies. And then everyone works, encouraged by men with whips and guns. Then it is the group with the guns and whips who are riding in the cart. And in this lovely, paternalistic State you have to live by its rules and values. You just quietly keep your mouth shut when its schools teach your six year old child about homosexuality and how it is just fine and instructs him in all the various kinds of sex acts. Socialism is evil. Socialism will destroy this country and any country that embraces it. Socialism is a lie. It is not what it purports to be. It is all nice sounding theory that in practice is something far different, something not very nice. Socialism doesn't work. It doesn't work, it never will work, it can't be made to work. It is all illusion, a godless illusion. And it is an illusion that can be seen through by any person with a reasonable amount of common sense. As a boy it was obvious to me that the whole idea of communism was foolishness that wouldn't work. I had more common sense as a boy than these liberal professors in our elite universities. Communism has been tried many times and it fails every time. The truth about it has been exposed. Capitalism works. It has a proven record. Capitalism provides people incentive to work. Socialism destroys the incentive. Communism lost out in Russia. Russia gave up on it and China did too, for all practical purposes. I have never been able to understand how so many people could have been duped by its ideas. Socialism is a tyrant, a trap, an ugly dungeon. Socialism lives by force and force is required to sustain it. Force exerted by intellectual elites who think they are gods who know what is best for everyone; gods who think and act as if they were above all moral law, gods who make their own law. It is naturally and necessarily autocratic, an enemy of personal freedom and liberty. Why? Because its dogma and objectives must come first, human considerations second. All must be sacrificed to the interest of its "higher" objectives. So what do we have here? We have a rule of gigantic government bureaucracy. A rule of inefficiency, foolishness and ineptness. A rule of people accountable to no one but themselves. Socialism is an ugly trap. It has been probably the worst plague to ever afflict mankind. Socialism has been responsible for the blood of scores of millions of innocent people in countries where it has been tried (like Russia, China and Cambodia). Responsible for horrible crimes of murder all committed in the name of a foolish ideology. Crimes against humanity perpetrated by godless men, crimes dwarfing even the terrible things that occurred in Nazi Germany. Socialism has been a curse on every country that has tried it. It is godless. It is evil. Yet the social sciences departments of universities across this land are dominated by socialists. Our college students have been brainwashed into these liberal, socialistic ideas. What is going on? How do you explain this? Could it be that just a very large portion of mankind comes up very short in the department of common sense? Maybe. If so it seems to be concentrated in intellectuals, academics and the arts. If it is true, it is a very interesting phenomenon. Another possible explanation is envy - envy of the rich, hatred of the rich. Perhaps they hate capitalism, not because it doesn't work, they just hate the idea that someone can make a lot of money. They want to bring the rich down, even if they sink the entire ship, including themselves. Intellectuals are supposed to be intelligent, objective, fact-oriented people. But the facts are clear. The truth is clear. They act like people committed fanatically to a religion, a false religion. People who, in spite of all evidence that the religion is sham and false, stubbornly cling to it. Liberalism is outside my mind. Perhaps that is because liberals are atheistic and I am god-fearing. It is difficult for a god-fearing person to comprehend the mentality of an atheist. Maybe Satan has blinded their minds. Maybe their understanding has been darkened by their enmity against God. The problem doesn't exist just here in America. Western Europe is even further down the socialistic road than America. The entire industrialized world is being seduced by the lie of liberalism. Sept 2010 More from SolitaryRoad.com:
