Welcome to the thoughtless world of contemporary liberalism. Beginning in the 1960s, liberalism, once the home of many deep thinkers, began to substitute feeling for thought and descended into superficiality. ...This is easy to demonstrate. Here is a list of terms liberals apply to virtually every idea or action with which they differ: Racist Sexist Homophobic Islamophobic Imperialist Bigoted Intolerant And here is the list of one-word descriptions of what liberals are for: Peace Fairness Tolerance The poor The disenfranchised The environment These two lists serve contemporary liberals in at least three ways. First, they attack the motives of non-liberals and thereby morally dismiss the non-liberal person. Second, these words make it easy to be a liberal -- essentially all one needs to do is to memorize this brief list and apply the right term to any idea or policy. That is one reason young people are more likely to be liberal -- they have not had the time or inclination to think issues through, but they know they oppose racism, imperialism and bigotry, and that they are for peace, tolerance and the environment. Third, they make the liberal feel good about himself -- by opposing conservative ideas and policies, he is automatically opposing racism, bigotry, imperialism, etc." -- Responsibility. It is the “Anti-Liberal” word of words. Almost everything in the liberal mindset can be traced back to the belief that they are not responsible for anything and that we (as a society) have no right to judge them, or hold the accountable.

I am beginning to wonder if we can even drag these people into the 21st Century! Baghdad: Tennis coach and two players killed 'for wearing shorts' News.Com.AU ^ \| May 26, 2006 \| staff writer From: Reuters From correspondents in Baghdad May 26, 2006 THE coach of the Iraq tennis team and two players have been shot dead by armed gunmen in Baghdad, the Iraqi Olympic Committee chief said today. According to eye witnesses, the three men were killed because they were wearing shorts. "Armed men assassinated the trainer, Ahmed Rachid, and two players, Nasser Ali Hatem and Wissam Adel Odah on Thursday afternoon in the Saidiya district (of Baghdad)," committee secretary-general Amer Jabbar said. Witnesses said that a Sunni militant group issued a warning a few days before the attack, forbidding the wearing of shorts. One witness, who requested anonymity, said: "The three men were driving in a car and dropped off some washing at a launderette when they were stopped by the gunmen, who had seen they were in shorts. "The coach and players were stopped by the armed group. Two of them got out of the car and were shot with a bullet in the head. The third was killed in the car. Advertisement: "The gunmen took the body out of the car and threw it on top of the other two bodies before stealing the car." This is not the first time that sportsmen have been targeted in Iraq. On May 17 a group of 15 members of the Iraq tae kwon do team were taken hostage between Fallujah and Ramadi to the west of Baghdad as they returned Amman in Jordan. The kidnappers demanded a ransom of $US100,000 ($131,690) for their release, Iraqi Olympic Committee. member Jamal Abdel Karim said. And on February 25, former national boxing champion Jasseb Rahma was shot dead in front of his family in the town of Bassorah.
