The Untold Truth About Liberals

I've met many liberals. I've talked to them, listened to them, and at times have argued with them. But through all of my experiences I've noticed that they all have one thing in common: They want change, but, more importantly, they are the very thing that they claim to hate: People with an over-simplified view of how the world should operate. In their minds, they are always the oppressed, and anyone who disagrees with their views is the oppressor. It's the only way that they can cope with the simple fact that they're mostly wrong.

Barack Obama is possibly one of the more liberal presidents America has seen in years, and it's not by mere chance that his main campaign slogan consisted of a single word: “change”. It's the main force that drives the liberal agenda. That single word allows people to romanticize their irrational ideas so that they can feel like advocates of innovation. Perhaps they should consider a change that builds, not destroys. 

With the word “change” as their banner, they move forward with their beliefs doing the best they can to change the status quo. They celebrate feminist ideas, promote anti-traditional marriage rhetoric, and condemn the rich all in hope of changing the system already set in place. They love the idea of creating a society flowing with the smell of sweet equality. But, according to them, the only way to accomplish this goal for total equality is to hurt the successful or obliterate the do-gooders. In other words: eliminate any person whom they don't like, or anyone who seems just a bit better than them. It reminds me of the words of Aristotle when the said, “The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.”

It's popular among liberals to crucify those who don't agree with them, and at times they will play victim to acts that normally wouldn't offend anyone. A good story relating to this topic is about a woman named Mary Spellman, who was quite recently forced to resign her position as dean of Claremont McKenna College. The situation was brought about by a student protest, for in the students' opinion, the college had “not done enough to create a safe space on campus for students from marginalized backgrounds.” Meaning, of course, that the college didn't help people enough who were black, Hispanic, etc. As a response to these claims, Spellman sent out an email to one person in a sympathizing manner, wanting to discuss the issue even more so that they could “better serve students, especially those who didn't fit our CMC [Claremont McKenna College] mold.” In outrage over this line, students felt offended that anyone would assume that some people didn't fit in at their college, and the protest continued at the expense of Mary, who was forced to resign a few days later.

In conclusion, it's not that liberals want to be treated fairly, find solutions, or help other people. But instead their goal is much more shallow. Using oversimplified views, they rationalize anything they can that makes them feel better about themselves as human beings. They want to appear fluffy, sweet, and caring even though their actions hinder more than they help. They want reversal of power simply for the sake of change, not for the sake of morality. And I doubt if any idea on this earth is more dangerous for a society.
