Crush Liberalism

Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Quote of the day

From Ed Morrissey, regarding the left’s and right’s approach to energy:

…What we have is two different approaches in economic policy. The Democrats, and especially Barack Obama, believe in constricted supply and so want to regulate demand. Conservatives believe in boosting supply through open markets and deregulation rather than leaving resources in the ground, while encouraging the innovation that will bring the next era in energy production. The Right also wants to use nuclear power, which even Europe’s Left has managed to survive without getting a case of the vapors.

But it’s the difference between the politics of scarcity and the politics of abundance that most defines the two parties. It’s why the Democrats have been such pessimists about, well, everything, and why Republicans like Ronald Reagan have optimism about America’s economic future. It didn’t hurt that Reagan turned out to be correct as well as Right.

The left is all about the equal distribution of misery, bringing everyone down instead of bringing everyone up.

  1. But isn’t that the hidden message behind share the wealth?

  2. Yes, if only we were all equally miserable for a long enough period of time future generations wouldn’t realize that they could have it better. ;-)

  3. Yes let’s make all the masses equal in misery. EXCEPT for the Politicians of course.

  4. Always remember when liberals talk about “fairness”, this is their intent. It is not to ensure the equal prosperity of all – that would be quite impossible to accomplish. No, it’s particularly about bringing down the wealthy, the well-off, the nominal, and the barely-getting-by down to the level of the poorest and most destitute. In their minds, it is the only “fair” thing to do. Of course, they are wealthy because they deserve it – they are the ones ensuring everyone else stays in their “equal and fair” misery.
