Right News and Views

The above photo, from http://www.amightywind.com/abortion/pleaseno.htm, is without question the most evil and illegitimate portion of all in the liberal agenda; abortion.

Daniel Henninger’s Hillary Talks About ‘It’ is an excellent read and discusses the Right vs. Wrong (Left) partisanship that permeates much of modern politics in America.

The most interesting passage of his column contained the following:
“Prof. Fish has an alternative to traditions of tolerance, and to anyone awash in American politics today it will sound familiar: “That is to say, and Marcuse says it, anything the right does is bad and should not be tolerated; anything the left does is good and should be welcomed.” This would explain the emotional intensity and animosity in politics now: The other side no longer deserves minimal respect.”

He continues by observing that “it’s not enough to disagree with conservative viewpoints; one has to undermine and delegitimize them. Mock them. Put them beyond the pale.”

How Liberals could accomplish this where thinking Americans are concerned is quite beyond me. “Anything” the right does is not bad, nor is “everything” they do good. The preceding is a completely true statement but not, if you can accept this paradox, near as true as the following is false; that “anything” the left does is good. Indeed, very little the left does is good. The vast majority of what they do is incredibly harmful, in fact.

But to examine this issue farther, the left does indeed attempt to delegitimize conservative viewpoints. Conversely, conservatives reveal the truth about the illegitimate viewpoints of the Left. These viewpoints include the murder of the unborn, the protection of any speech as free no matter how vile- such as any defense in any way for any point concerning groups like NAMBLA, “helping” people by trapping them in poverty and dependency, and socialism. Only some of the most vile and evil of liberal ideas, these are positions that do not need to be put beyond the pale- they are already there. These do not need to be undermined as they are not credible to begin with. If one believes they are it only illustrates how sadly successful the liberal propaganda machine has rotted the minds of Americans.

It is perfectly legitimate to be intolerant of liberalism. As one would be intolerant of a pedophile because they wish to defend children from harm then one would also be intolerant of an action that would not only harm but murder children; abortion. As one would be intolerant of those who would protect pedophiles, one would be intolerant of an ACLU that, despite claiming they disagree with NAMBLA’s views, still defended NAMBLA in court. As one would be intolerant of those that profess to love their neighbor but then work to keep them down one would be intolerant of those who would lock human beings in a cycle of dependency on government. As one would be intolerant of communism – an ideology that has led to more mass graves than any other horror in human history – then one would be intolerant of socialism.

To sum up, conservatives do not delegitimize liberal views, liberal views are already illegitimate. It’s just up to conservatives to reveal the truth. As I recently pointed out in Our new national divide, conservatives must tell the truth and must use all honorable means to expose the depraved and abominable goals of liberals.
