Webloggin » On Liberals, Conservatives, Primal Urges and Symbiotic Relationships

Just a quick afterthought. I always have these whenever liberals propose something that does absolutely nothing, zilch, zero, nada, not a single thing other than forcing people to live life less. I think of these nuggets whenever liberals try to force incremental suicide on people.

You could think of this as the latest installment of “What Is A Liberal?” But it’s too short for that.

It occurs to me that the root of our ideological split here, is that liberals are acting on a primal urge. The presentation at any given time is based on a future event which, if it were to unfold the way they say (and if you were to remember history), would confound presentations that come afterward. The liberal has a proposal. He looks around and sees that we are living in an antagonistic relationship with each other; his proposed idea would put us into a symbiotic one. You spew carbon and are therefore killing the planet. You are keeping the money you make and are denying it to “needed social programs.” You aren’t paying enough tax on your income; your purchases; your gasoline; your tolls. You are killing the Iraqis. You are poisoning the caribou. The oil companies, in turn, are poisoning you. And if you have a gun, it’s just a matter of time before you shoot me with it.

The conservatives are putting out the message that we are already living in a symbiotic relationship. I breathe out and I spew my carbon, it’s a wonderful thing because the trees and plants need the carbon for photosynthesis. Notice that science, on this point, sides with the conservatives. The oil companies supply the gasoline I need to get to work, earn my money and live my life. Hard facts and evidence, here again, side with the conservatives. Furthermore, if the taxes are raised we’re just going to buy less stuff…and if the taxes are raised on the oil companies, they’ll just pass that on to the consumer. Once again: Economic science and historical evidence side with the conservatives.

The liberal says, enact my proposal and we’ll enter into a symbiotic relationship. Next week, the liberal will have another proposal, and offer the same pitch — he won’t admit the last proposal failed to get us into this symbiotic relationship. He won’t offer to roll back this previous failed proposal. To our discredit, nobody will call on him to do so…

The conservative says we’re already in the symbiotic relationship. You are good for me. I am good for you. We can all go on doing exactly what we’re doing. The only thing we should really change is to get those damn liberals to stop voting.

Reason, fact, logic and common sense all side with the conservative. Time after time after time after time after time. The liberal pretends it isn’t so, something about “no WMD in Iraq” or “no connection between Saddam and 9/11.” He goes through this phony little puppet show of pretending to embrace reality. But his proposals all have it in common, that they say we’re not yet in a symbiotic relationship, and this latest proposal will put us in one.

And it never works.

Next time the liberal has another proposal, he’s the first to admit that the previous one didn’t work.

It isn’t a plan, it’s an itch, an insecurity, a spectacle of ignorance. Liberals lack the cognitive ability to understand they’re in a symbiotic relationship, unless they can actually see someone authoring and implementing a plan to put us in one. Being born into one, is something that is beyond their comprehension. They see conflict where it doesn’t exist.
