An Example of Lefty Logic

 

An Example of Lefty Logic by Bob Beers

My column about orchestrated leftist lying brought a lengthy rebuttal from RealEstateGuy. What was interesting is that the writer, thinking they had skewered me with their dynamic prose, wound up proving my point.

Here is the first riposte: “And this is where I stopped reading. "one that says if we cap the amount a business can earn we will also increase prosperity."See... A corporation is the child of the state --- a creation of the state. Can someone please explain to me what the justification is that as a child of the state that liability can be limited but not profit?”

Right off the writer makes an error in logic (a usual with the lefties). I used the word “business” for a reason, not “corporation”. Business, the way I used it can mean any legal occupation entered into for the purpose of honest gain. Now, if I have to define every term I use simply to avoid confusing people with their own agenda I may as well give up now…but I’m not going to do that It’s too much fun watching them trip all over their own perverted form of logic. “Child of the state” is another lefty term. To them we belong to the state and live according to its sufferance. According to the documents of the founding fathers the opposite is true…well, it used to be. Actually, corporations are the creation of lawyers as a way of avoiding taxes and personal responsibility.

The next clumsy bit of illogic: “And with regard to the present situation, are any limits being suggested for any company that did not go to the government asking for money? I thought that the mantra of free market capitalism is that he who has the gold makes the rules. “

There is nothing in our constitution preventing any individual or business from making as much money as they can…honestly. Those businesses that went crawling to Obama with their hands out for the most part deserved to fail. They created their problem and should have had to deal with it without stealing from the taxpayer. The so-called stimulus package stimulated nothing but CEO greed and a willing Democrat-controlled congress went right along with them, every one of them with their own hands out for a taste. The free market does not give anyone the right to lie, cheat or steal...unless they are a Democrat campaign contributor.

"Am I missing something here?”

No, just the entire point of every column I’ve written.

And here is the big lie, call the truth a lie and keep on doing so until the masses believe it: “And I actually went on --- Came to this lie(see what I mean?)... Ayers and his terrorist organization. Because terror means threatening peoples lives and or killing people. But Ayers avoided that, though one of his associates did deviate from the no harm to humans concept and killed herself building a bomb.”

Waaay too much material to cover this egregious piece of leftist tripe in one column. This link, http://www.quadrant.org.au/magazine/issue/2009/3/obama-and-the-weathermen will take the reader to an excellent article on the subject. Simply because Ayers preached violence but never practiced it does not mean he did not believe in terrorism. Check out the agenda of his organization. The link lists a number of books that go into very well-documented detail on what Obama, at Ayers’ knee, was absorbing as his core beliefs. It certainly wasn’t pride in his country. I suppose to the liberal world view that planning the execution of at least a third of the population is fine dinner conversation and not terrorist at all. Shouldn’t that at the very least be considered threatening people’s lives? Or maybe it’s because Ayers was promoting a Marxist philosophy. Perhaps that is why he should be given a break. At least he wasn’t a Nazi or a KKK member. Oh, that’s right. The Democrats allow clansmen to become senators.

The commenter goes on: “Here is what the lead federal prosecutor of the weather underground said, William C. Ibershof, formerly the lead federal prosecutor in the Weather Underground case, wrote in 2008: "Although I dearly wanted to obtain convictions against all the Weathermen, including Bill Ayers, I am very pleased to learn that he has become a responsible citizen." [61] But you can't trust those lefty federal prosecutors.”

I guess, based on this assertion all those former Nazis that were hunted down shouldn’t have been after all. Didn’t they also become “responsible citizens”? In many cases they were better citizens and neighbors than Ayers. I can go so far as to point out that some of them did not actually kill anybody, holding to the commentary’s own phrase, "But Ayers avoided that". That alone would remove them from prosecution if RealEstateGuy were king.

Here is his wrap-up: “Then there is this: Obama Administration is actively taking over every possible aspect of American life. Can we get some specifics here? I mean which areas / companies that have not come to Obama with their hands out?”

No, that filter will not be allowed. The auto industry is far too large a factor to not be included. Control of the populace, a prime piece of the Weather Underground’s agenda, included the ability to move around. Read the books, it’s all there. Healthcare, which includes access to doctors, the ability to recover from illness or injury in order to continue making a living is a huge specific. For every snippet praising socialized healthcare in other countries there are a dozen tales of horror. The media just doesn’t publish them. I could relate what a friend of my sister-in-law experienced in Canada, but that friend died before her appointment came around.

This last bit is a typical sampling of lefty pseudo-humor, arrogance and all: “Just think of the horror of the government taking over Health Care like they do in horrible Europe. Why then our companies would not be saddled with paying all those insurance premiums and would be in a better competitive position. Oh... The horror.”

Horror is exactly what we hope to stave off. You do not prosper as a country by replacing a troubled system with a failed one. Every country that has gone into socialism has reduced their standard of living, and/or increased the gap between the haves and the have-nots. Why do you think China has expanded their capitalist experiment? The Soviet Union, a darling of Ayers thoughts, crumbled because they could not compete economically. And yes, I do credit Reagan with that one...mainly because the liberals shudder at his name. Allowing the government to take over healthcare is not only economically idiotic but a violation of the constitution. Of course the left only believes in bits and pieces of that inconvenient document. Check out the constitution. It’s a short read, and then take a look at the 10th amendment. We are supposed to be a Republic of free states, not a federalist oligarchy, and that republic is supposed to be a sovereign country, not just another member of a collection of failed monarchies. We are, or should be, better than that.

Also, remember one extra special right this republic still allows; if you think Europe is a better place than here you are free to move. If you don’t…well then, the word hypocrite comes to mind.

Say Goodbye to Israel

Rashid Khalidi, William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright…two of these men received glowing praise from Barrack Obama. One he declared as being central to forming his beliefs and world view. Khalidi, a high ranking member of the PLO, instrumental in planning and carrying out attacks against Israel, quite probably one of the most virulent terrorists in the world today since the death of Arafat, was praised during a dinner in Las Angeles by Obama. Ayers is an admitted domestic terrorist, personally responsible for the deaths of several innocent Americans and proud of what he did. For some unexplained reason the government did not prosecute him. Ayers wrote a book condemning the country that gave him the freedom to publish and Obama added a gushing review to the book. Wright has given sermon after sermon for the past 20 years damning the United States. The man is a frothing-at-the-mouth bigot whose hatred of his own country is unmatched. He has spoken of dreaming of the day the last white man is put to death. He has asked the heavens to rain fire down on America for its crimes against the black man, all the while ignoring the tribal genocides in Africa. The only other country that has received similar vitriol from Wright’s pulpit is Israel, the birthplace of the one Wright claims to worship. Obviously the good reverend is a hypocrite of the highest caliber.

Obama’s alliances are not just ill chosen, they are dangerous to the point of being traitorous.  Every one of these men is an admitted enemy to the country Obama wishes to lead. Does anyone with the ability to reason believe that those relationships will not have an impact on an Obama administration?

Look at what happened to the Bush presidency. The junior Bush grew up as a child of privilege and formed friendships with individuals who considered ethics to be a character flaw. Those friendships followed Bush into the White House and had a direct impact on what has been the worst administration this country has seen since the days of Jimmy Carter. With the associations he has formed, an Obama administration has every possibility of making the Carter and Bush presidencies look golden in comparison.

The United States has been the lone friend of Israel since that country defied all odds and regained its sovereignty. The hatred of that tiny country escapes rational explanation, but the fact of that hated cannot be denied. Because of his associations, there is little doubt that Obama shares that hatred. There is also little doubt that he is intelligent enough to disguise his feelings until he has the power to act with impunity.  

Outside of Israel, the country with the largest Jewish population is the United States. It has long been a conundrum as to why that community so consistently votes a liberal ticket when the liberals are aligned so closely with those who hate the Jew. Yet the vast majority of Jews in the United States are declaring their undying support of Barrack Obama.

I wonder if they will continue to do so when he joins the Islamists in their joint attack on Israel.

Should we forgive William Ayers? Hell, no.

The other day I was sent an email with a link to yet another ultraliberal article about how evil and hypocritical it is for conservatives to hold Obama’s associations against him. This one focused on his association with Bill Ayers, our suddenly famous retired domestic terrorist. The sender asked if I was willing to state as to whether or not I forgave Mr. Ayers, and if not, why. You should note that Obama lied during the last debate when he stated that he did not launch his campaign from Ayer’s home, and no, I am not going to load my essay down with links. The facts are there if you need to look them up.

At first I said I would not answer the question because typically that question, especially from that specific source is the beginning of a “have you stopped beating your wife?” exchange. It all becomes a circular argument that does nothing but satisfy a personality that uses argument for fun. It goes nowhere.

Liberals who hold hard and fast to the far left agenda find nothing wrong in alliances with people such as Ayers and the hate-monger Reverend Wright. The fact that those individuals hate fundamental America is enough. Anything done for the cause is justified because it all heads toward the greater good. Ayers may or may not have killed or injured anyone, the jury is out on that one. He was never prosecuted for his crimes, so what? He has also never recanted his beliefs and has indicated a quiet support for the Saudi Terrorists who took down the World Trade Center towers on 9-11. For me, that is enough to indict Obama’s judgment. Obama said in a recent statement, “…to avoid being labeled a sellout, I chose my friends carefully.” If this is true, we are looking at our first affirmed Marxist Presidency. Obama, by his own admission, has aligned himself with people who believe in the Marxist philosophy. Obama doesn’t want to be a “sellout”, a phrase deeply ingrained into cult-like, socialist, ultraliberal circles. They agree completely with Obama’s share the wealth plank in his platform. Under an Obama regime, any one who begins to achieve a middleclass income will be forced back into the ranks of the poor. Small business growth will stagnate and medium to large business will die on the vine.

Another statement by Obama is in regards to partial birth abortion, “…I don’t want her punished with a baby…” Think about that phrase, “punished with a baby.” At least he didn’t use the politically correct phrase, pre-viable fetus. For those of you unsure, partial birth abortions involve partially delivering the baby and then killing it by stabbing his/her brain with a pair of surgical scissors. Liberals kept it from being called what it actually is, murder, by insisting that some abortions of that type may have to be carried out for the health of the mother. This, of course is medical nonsense and any doctor worth his degree would have to agree. In order to “partial birth”, the mother has to go through every stress that would be of any danger. At the point of the murder, she would be just as safe if the baby were allowed to live. But, remember, Obama is well aware that babies cannot vote. The Marxist agenda is tied into NOW, NARAL, and all the other radical pro death alliances that depend upon a culture of depravity, hopelessness and dependence.

Sarah Palin became the “most dangerous woman on the earth” because she is a believing Christian. Those who have embraced Obama consider Christianity to be an extreme religion, somehow even more dangerous than radical Islam. Arguments such as the one presented to me really center upon this belief. The fact that we who are more than the two-times-a-year nominal church goers do not immediately reach out and invite people like Mr. Ayers into our households is somehow evidence of our communal hypocrisy. They forget the policy of forgiving the sinner, not the sin. They also forget that even though people may have a faith, it does not mean that they are stupid. Naive, well-intentioned Christians have been attacked, robbed, raped and even murdered in their homes simply because they thought they were fulfilling God’s love by inviting the one who had a history of those actions into their home; it not hypocritical to practice common sense.

If issues such as abortion, economics and alliances are considered carefully in relation to personal faith, it becomes pretty evident that the real problem the liberal have is the existence of Christianity. Even though other religions such as Judaism and Islam also contain the idea of God only allowing true believers into heaven, it is Christianity that is the one singled out by the liberal for condemnation. The simple act of having that faith is enough to remove you from consideration for elective office, at least where the liberal is concerned. On its face, that is pure, unadulterated bigotry. If you are pro-life, than you must somehow think those who are not evil sinners whom God is going to punish in eternal fire, if you are pro-(fill in the favorite amendment here), the same indictment applies.

All specious arguments aside, what it comes down to is this: you can and must judge those who want to govern you by their associations. If I learned anything during my time in office, that is the most important. It is a test that is 100% accurate, and you can take that to the bank every time.
