Liberals are generally wrong about everything today. Has been that way since the late '60's. You exemplify what is wrong with modern liberals.
Evan Sayet said it better than anyone I know:
Evan Sayet's View of Modern Liberalism
This is a brief summary of a speech posted on YouTube
How can you possibly live in the freest nation in the history of the world and see only oppression? How can you live in the least imperialist power in history and see us as the ultimate in imperialism? How can you live in the least bigoted nation in history and see racism lurking in every dark corner?
You can if you're a liberal! Liberals are wrong on every issue! And not just wrong, but as wrong as it is possible to be. Modern liberalism is diametrically opposed to that which is good, right and successful. This is a philosophy that pervades all of Western Europe and the Democratic Party in the United States. It is a philosophy that invariably sides with evil over good, wrong over right and behavior that leads to failure over behavior that leads to success. Given a choice between Saddam Hussein, Yasser Arafat, Stalin, Mao and Hugo Chavez over America, the liberal will slander America. Given a choice between behaviors that build a decent society and behaviors that promote vulgarity and promiscuity, liberals will inevitably side with that which mocks, corrupts and destroys.
Why? These people aren't evil. Why then do they choose evil over good, wrong over right and behaviors that lead to failure over behaviors that lead to success? How do they think they're making a better world?
If they're not evil, could it be that they are stupid? They don't mean to side with bad over good and failure over success - they just don't know what they're doing! But liberals are not stupid. How then do they believe they are making a better world?
The modern liberal looks back on human history and concludes only one thing for sure: none of the religions, philosophies or ideologies that mankind has constructed, none of the forms of government, have created a world devoid of war, poverty, crime and injustice. So since all of these ideas and institutions have proved to be wrong, the cause of war, poverty, crime and injustice can only be found in mankind's attempts to be right! If nobody ever thought that they were right, what would we have to disagree about? If we didn't disagree we wouldn't fight, if we didn't fight we wouldn't have wars, if we didn't have wars we wouldn't have poverty, if we didn't have poverty we wouldn't have crime, if we didn't have crime there would be no injustice.
All that is required to usher in utopia is the rejection of all fact, reason, evidence, logic, truth, morality and decency.
All the tools that conservatives use to be better people, in an attempt to make the world more right - by trying to be right, by siding with right, by recognizing what is right and moving towards it - are seen to be part of the problem, not part of the solution.
The best way to eliminate this misguided attempt to be right is to work always to prove that right isn't right and to prove that wrong isn't wrong!
Everything liberals believe, everything they teach in our schools, everything they make into movies, the television shows and newspaper stories, everything they select and how they present it has but one criterion: tear down what is good and elevate what is evil; tear down what is right and elevate what is wrong; tear down behaviors that produce success and elevate the behaviors that lead to failure - until there is nothing left to believe in and nothing left to fight over.
There is no standard for truth, beauty or decency - the only standard is that those who believe in right are wrong! Liberals are above all else followers of the cult of indiscriminateness. It is a moral imperative.
Rational and moral thought is viewed as an act of bigotry, so the way to eliminate bigotry is to eliminate rational thought and become utterly indiscriminate. It is the highest good, indeed, the only good.
Of course, to discriminate, to consciously choose the better of the available options is the essence of the rational thought process of an adult. But liberals literally reject rational thought as a hate crime! This is the mentality of a five-year-old. It is the inability to discriminate between good and evil, right or wrong, better or worse. In this paradigm the only explanation for success is that somehow success has cheated - achievement must be at the expense of something else - while failure is proof that it has been victimized.
So the modern liberal will side with good over evil, wrong over right, and behavior that leads to failure rather than behavior that leads to success, out of a sense of justice! Since nothing can be deemed "good" or "evil", that which society does point to as good must be the beneficiary of some sort of prejudice, and that which society sees as evil must be the victim of bigotry.
In the past we have always believed that we were progressing towards something that was better than what came before. But modern liberalism is nihilistic, questioning everything and distrusting everything without offering any worthwhile or workable alternatives. Missing from modern liberalism is anything other than its destructive nature.
Without any concept of good, it is impossible to progress towards good.
Robert Bork said it best: we are slouching towards Gomorrah.
