There’s Something Fundamentally Wrong With Liberals – Townhall

That liberals are hypocrites is not news. Just take a look at the net worth of any Democratic Party leader who routinely rails against the 1 percent. But in the age of Trump, where the hatred that normally drives what were told is the tolerant left has been turned up to 11. All standards have gone out the window; no hypocrisy is too great, no conspiracy theory too insane for someone on the left to advance it and its drone army to believe.
It must be easy to be a liberal in 2017. You dont have to think for yourself. You dont have to prove anything. And your life can swirl in a bubble where youll never have anything you say challenged in a serious way. Liberals have become the bad guy in Lethal Weapon 2 their membership in the progressive club grants them a sort of diplomatic immunity from reality.
The same people who cheered the release of traitor Bradley Manning after serving only seven of 35 years for giving thousands of classified national security secrets to Wikileaks clutch their pearls to this day over the same website publishing unclassified emails from the Clinton campaign.
Is Wikileaks evil or righteous? Do they support the information it receives only if that information damages national security and puts American lives at risk? Sure seems like it.
When it comes to conspiracy theories, the left has become the Fox Mulder of politics. There is nothing beyond the pale or too insane to be advancedas long as it is against a Republican. If its not, if its critical of the left, its dismissed as paranoia.
Ive never written or spoken about the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich because, honestly, I havent seen anything but wild speculation about it. Was he the source of the DNC email leak to Wikileaks? I have no idea. If someone offers real proof, Ill bite. Until then his death is just another senseless murder.
The lack of evidence hasnt stopped some on the right from connecting dots that may or may not exist to advance a political agenda. But just because I tend to agree with a lot of the policy objectives the people connecting those dots want advocate not mean Im on board with everything they do. If Im disgusted when a Democrat does something, Im disgusted when a Republican does it too. The same cant be said for liberals.
Liberal journalists raged against the right over Rich both because there was a grieving family here and its distasteful to dredge up conspiracy theories in that circumstance, and because they are outraged a story has advanced for which there is no evidence. These are awful behaviors, but the left engages in them frequently and gleefully.
On the matter of advancing theories lacking proof, there isnt a liberal publication that not only functions under the assumption Donald Trump colluded with the Russians to steal the election from Hillary Clinton, but prints stories and editorials alleging it on a regular basis.
Its been almost a year and there is still zero evidence of this conspiracy, yet the Washington Post, New York Times, and every other left-wing birdcage liner has a team of reporters opining in their pages and on cable news about how this myth is fact.
Even Democratic members of Congress, whod sacrifice their grandchildren to find a crumb of proof, have admitted there is none. It had to kill Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Congresswoman Maxine Waters to admit it, but they did. Journalists cant.
Instead they run anonymously sourced stories, many of which are denied on the record by the very people implicated in them. They leave those stories, uncorrected, on their websites because the conspiracy must be true.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had to have threatened to resign if the president used his letter as justification for firing FBI Director James Comey; anonymous sources told them he did.
Never mind that Rosenstein personally, unambiguously denied the story. Liberals need it to be true. As such, the original story sits, uncorrected, on the Washington Post website without mention of Rosensteins unequivocal denial. It would be journalistic malpracticeif journalism still had standards.
The same goes for countless stories in which Casper the Friendly Leaker whispers something into the ear of some liberal reporter that fits the narrative so perfectly it snaps in place like the last Lego.
Comey was fired just after requesting more money for Russia probe? Obviously. It doesnt matter that the acting Director of the FBI denied it under oath or that there is zero evidence; it just has to be true.
Someone is going to read you a couple of lines over the phone from a dear diary entry by Comey that claimed the president hoped the FBI would leave Michael Flynn alone? It doesnt matter that you dont know the context, or that Comey didnt tell anyone at the time, or you werent even allowed to see the words on the page. Trump is corrupt, so it has to be true. And so on.
When it comes to love of anti-Trump-perfectly-fitting-the-left-wing-narrative conspiracy theories, facts just get in the way. Journalists are ready to roll around like a happy dog in the sun on the grassy knoll of news.
As for the idea that respect for the dead should dictate decorum, these credentialed degenerates stepped down from their high horses long enough to cheer the death of Fox News founder Roger Ailes. I dont know how damaged someone has to be to write the things they wrote thinking something sick is one thing; believing the world needs to know it is a disorder yet to be named yet there they were, dancing on his grave before his family even had a chance to digest their loss.
You say someone is a monster and insensitive to the family for theorizing about a murder last summer, but you cant wait for the body to get cold to express glee over someones passing because you didnt like their politics? Theres a special place in hell for people like that.
Liberals, particularly journalists, have morphed into something very disturbing since the arrival of Donald Trump onto the political scene. Theyve achieved a new level of hypocrisy and disgusting cruelty that would shame a normal person.
Something deep inside them, at their core, is fundamentally damaged. Whether it was broken before the election or not is irrelevant, its their driving force now. Were they civilians, theyd likely be shouting at streetlights and losing the argument. Since theyre journalists, theyll probably win a Pulitzer.
