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.
