Holier Than Thou, Dude.

The Left is so convinced that they are the knights of virtue and righteousness. They are the guards and patrons of peace, beauty, culture and awareness. If only the truth were as hilarious.

The Left - through the education system, the media, and now the online world - has fooled generation after generation that they are the promoters of peace and tolerance.

A university teacher of mine once declared openly that she was a leftist. This might have come across as brave to any Left leaning students; and perhaps she herself it was courageous. But a braver thing would have been to open up as a conservative on a campus of Che crusaders.

This teacher was of the belief that her leftism made her particularly sensitive when it came to racial issues. This belief was not only distorted, but also unsupported by historical fact and social evidence.

The Left is no more likely to be "tolerant" and "sensitive" than the Right. In fact, the Left has shown itself to be quite racially regressive in the past.

The KKK were Southern Democrats. Politicians like Robert Byrd and George Wallace blocked opposed civil rights and ends to segregation and inequality.

Hitler was a socialist who wanted to nationalise industry and control production.

Karl Marx was an anti-Semite.

The Nazis were environmentalists. They banned animal testing (sadly they didn't ban testing on Jewish children).

They enacted tough gun control, intiated anti smoking laws, and made steps to protect the forests of Germany. All pet projects and loves of the Left.

So what other claims do liberals make? That they are the political ideology of peace. Che Guevara, Castro, Stalin, Lenin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot. All such peaceful men.

The Left are against imperalism( they despise the idea of superpowers (which is why so many liberal Americans hate their own country); they hate military dictatorships, (fair enough. So do I. So did the man in my background).  Now lets look again at those names.

Guevara - militant revolutionary; murdered people for for
 political cause; used force to bring his ideas to fruition.
Castro - Alongside Guevara, murdered innocent people, dragged
the survivors into 50 years of poverty while he chomped away at expensive cigars.

Did I mention that what they set to achieve, and succeeded in doing, was to set up a MILITARY DICTATORSHIP.

The Left also claim to be the guardians of cultural traditions and artistic beauty.  The facts:  Pol Pot - murdered the educated, and anyone with glasses who looked like they might have a high intellect.

Mao's cultural revolution murdered all those who opposed and dissented it. A cultural and political cleansing occured.

If liberals care so much about culture why are they always degrading Christian belief and traditions as "fairy tales", and the life and work of Christ as fictitious.  Why do they call those who have pride in America, or Britain, or Australia, "racists?"    Why are they ashamed of our histories? Our national anthems? Our flags?  Why do they tread on the traditions of Christmas by demoting it to a "holiday season", or a "winter break." Why such terms? Why such cultural destruction?

I do not claim that we conservatives have a monopoly on peace and tolerance. I do not for a second claim that conservative politics has been without scandal. But never has conservative politics reached the kind of backward, stagnant, murderous lows of progressivism (read: regressivism).

We conservatives do not sanctimoniously claim we are the crusaders of tolerance. It is the Left that does that. And it's that sanctimony that is most grating when one knows that it's at odds with the savage and bloody truth.
