Rabid Liberalism

There’s a reason that there seems to be more rabid liberals then conservatives.

I wouldn’t make the claim that there are no completely disillusioned conservatives.  There are.  Or that there aren’t reasonable liberals.  But I seem to run into more disillusioned liberals than disillusioned conservatives.  The ones that hate everybody that disagrees with them, and can’t even offer a counter argument, because they don’t seem to know why they believe that a person is evil, just that they are.

I’m frequently criticized by these rabid liberals for listening to people like Glenn Beck, and Rush Limbaugh.  Guilty.  Let me tell you why I listen to them.  They bring up points that make sense.  We think alike, so therefore, I listen to them.  There have been times when I had to give up on one for a while over a disagreement, because they didn’t see things the way I do.  This is because I have a mind of my own.  They bring up points of view to be taken into consideration.  They talk about what’s going on, and their thoughts on it.  They even take liberal callers, and occasionally invite liberal guests.  If you were to listen to these programs every day, even if you disagreed with them, you could grow.

Now let’s look at where far too many liberals get their intellectual diet.

Hollywood.  Alec Baldwin doesn’t have a talk show where he talks about these things for an hour or more a day.  He has a twitter feed.  And his worshippers listen.  Same thing goes with Matt Damon, and so many other celebrities.  They just say that certain people are evil, or that capitalism is wrong, etc.

While I listen to Rush Limbaugh in the morning for an hour or so, I hear the whole subject.  It’s not a fly by deal, he actually talks about it.  He doesn’t say that Obama is an idiot, and then moves on.  He’ll tell you about how Obama’s condemning the courts for ruling against him, and how the Supreme court exists because the foundation of this country is based on a small government, and that by having three branches of government instead of one or two provides checks and balances, and why what the president is doing is wrong.

Hollywood does the opposite.  Celebrities say that people like Sarah Palin are idiots, and that’s the end of the statement.  The occasionally make something up as well, and then never address it again.

Don’t waste too much time on these rabid liberals.  They are children, doing what’s cool.  If they don’t have an argument, just let them know that they’re children, and then move on.  If you’re having trouble recognizing which ones are rabid, there are clear signs to search for.  One is that in place of an argument, there is an insult.  No facts, just calling you an idiot.  Another is a variety of swear words. 

Fellow human beings – Don’t be this person.  Conservative or liberal, just don’t do it.  It’s immature, and it only serves to suggest your not intelligent.  If you want to be taken seriously as an intellectual, you have to think logically, and control your emotions.  If you can’t control your emotions, then you can’t make logical conclusions.
