The Stupidity of Liberalism

Sometimes liberalism is a good thing. The way our country treated minorities way back when was atrocious, and needed to be changed. On that we can all agree. However, when we think of the overall affect of Liberalism, we would have to say it is just plain "stupidity".

How many examples do we need? Let's delve into a couple.

1. Re-introduction of Wolves.

Years ago our forefathers hunted down wolves and killed them. They did more than that, they eradicated them from many parts of the our country. Why? The damage they did to livestock and the danger they posed to people. Now, some will tell you that wolves are not dangerous and stay away from people. Maybe so, in general. But let's say the deer and rabbits have been scarce and some night they come across your 2 year old wondering around in your wooded back yard - what's the chance of them making a meal out of such easy prey? Smart.

2. Drilling for Oil.

You know we can't drill for oil in certain parts of Alaska. Not off the coast of Florida. Why? It might make a mess. A few birds might have oil spilled on them and they could die. Sad indeed.

So what do we do? We buy it from Hugo Chavez and the Saudis. One who would like to destablize North and South America, and the others who have proven that nothing would please them more than to see us all jumping out of burning skyskrapers - real smart.

3. Negotiating with Fascists.

You would think that the world would have learned it's lesson back in the 30's. "Peace in our Time", and Charles Lindbergh hob-nobbing with the Nazis discovering what fine folk they are.
How many people died because the "Liberals" of the day wanted to talk, and talk, and talk.....while Hitler wanted time to build his arsenal. Does any of this sound familiar today? Does anyone remember the famous line, "Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it?"

4. Freedom of Speech.

The founding fathers understood that freedom of speech had it's limits. If a person "disagreed" with the good old USA during the time of war, and said the enemy way right, they were tossed into prison. Today we can embolden our enemies by sowing discord and dividing the country during war, and its a good thing. We can broadcast vile music, or O.J.'s non-confession, and it's protected by the Consititution. But woe be to the high school kid who mentions God as the solution to a problem - shut him up! "Separation of Church and State".

I'm getting tired of this, and I am sure the reader is as well. We could go on and on - taxation, welfare, automobile emmissions - but there is no need to. Liberalism has proven itself to be just plain stupid, and will always hurt and kill rather than help a country.
