Liberal Left. How it works

Why the liberal-Left gets racism wrong
We must be aware that most accusations of racism from the liberal-Left are at best fake, and at worst part of a shabby and authoritarian agenda designed to close down serious debate and ostracise decent people


Quote:
The liberal-Left, or at least the smarter among them, are, of course, aware of this. So why does this particular blanket smear persist?

There are a number of reasons. But first we need to be clear about which category of the Left we are talking about. Because we are not talking about working class, trade union style Leftism. Most people who could reasonably be placed inside that part of the Leftist tradition share the concerns of the wider population. They're decent, reasonable and simply desire a more rational approach to immigration.

It is the middle class Left, still attached to the fraying threads of cultural Marxism, that is the villain of the peace here. For them, the honourable fight against racism naturally merges into other streams in their tradition, most particularly the will to suppress.

This Leftism is totalitarian in its instincts. But, living in a liberal democracy, its adherents can hardly send you to the Gulag. What they can do is to slander you, drive you out of your job, and have you shunned by mainstream society as a "bigot".

Of course, the mask slips when their heroes are exposed as racist themselves. Take the literal and figurative poster boy of the ideological Left -- Che Guevara. His vicious racism against black people knew no bounds.

“The black is indolent and a dreamer; spending his meager wage on frivolity or drink; the European has a tradition of work and saving, which has pursued him as far as this corner of America and drives him to advance himself, even independently of his own individual aspirations," Guevara opined.

At least contrx knows quite a bit more about UK-politics than you do.

But perhaps you have a different opinion about why Robin Shepherd doesn't like the Liberal Left, and has nothing to do with them opposing to current coalition? (NB: The Liberal Left is [still] an organised political faction within the Liberal Democratic Party, aka splinter group!)

I don't give a **** about UK politics. And the UK politicians don't give a **** about the UK. See how that works Wally?

@coldjoint,
Well, your linked and quoted article is about the actual situation in the UK ... from the neo-conservative viewpoint of the author. And it deals with that splinter group of the Liberal Democratic Party.

@coldjoint,
Really? Are there many Liberal Democratic Parties coalition partners of Conservative parties?
I know that such happens and happened, but due to the history of the Liberal Democratic Party the Left Liberals are rather unique.

But I bow to your superior knowledge.

You’ve heard people say “Jesus was a socialist”, that’s not true, but Satan is definitely a liberal

Quote:



I think we need to clarify that modern American liberalism, or ‘progressivism,’ is a particular ideology informed by the social, political, religious, and sexual philosophies of guys like Machiavelli, Kant, Nietzsche, Freud, and Marx — the ‘pillars of unbelief,’ as Peter Kreeft calls them. Contemporary Western liberalism — with its defense of abortion, gay ‘marriage,’ relativism, forced wealth redistribution, pornography, massive government, and its attacks on the family, faith, life, and liberty — is truly a unique abomination.

When you claim Jesus as a liberal, you are putting him under the same umbrella as these men. But if The Lord were to come back, call you up into the mountain like Peter, James, and John, and bless you with another scene like the Transfiguration, somehow I doubt that, instead of making Moses and Elijah appear before you, He would summon the souls of Friedrich Nietzsche and Karl Marx.

I will not claim Jesus as a ‘conservative.’ Jesus was, is, and always will be The Lord. Jesus is Jesus. He is much too large to fit inside our paltry little political ideologies. You are the one trying to make Jesus into a disciple of your own modern philosophy. My only intention today is to refute that attempt; not make a similar attempt of my own. I do not think He is a conservative. I think He transcends any label we can place on Him.
Jesus was not a liberal.

Lucifer, on the other hand, probably fits the bill.

After all, modern liberalism is nothing if it isn’t the worship of self. It is an ideology that places self fulfillment, pleasure, and convenience above everything. Liberalism bows to no one but its own reflection (and foreign bureaucrats, in the case of Barack Obama). Liberals believe that our personal desires are the ultimate arbiter, which is why life can be destroyed and institutions like marriage twisted and obliterated, all to serve the one god: self.

Satan has said many words, but they can all be summed up by those infamous four. “I will not serve.”

Modern Liberalism — following the lead of its great apostles, from Machiavelli to Marx — elevates the self to the highest position in the universe. Even you, Tim, have perfectly illustrated this by attempting to chain Christ to a dogma that includes, among other things, support for the murder of children. You have tried to make Christ serve you and your worldview.

So those are not His footsteps you are following in the sand, Tim. Those are the footsteps of the one who met Him out in that desert, and rather than bow before His glory, tried to tempt Him and turn Him into a slave.

@coldjoint,

Ingredients
1/2 cup lardons (4 ounces -- 1-by-1/4-inch strips of blanched slab bacon or salt pork - see Special Note below)
2 1/2 to 3 pounds frying chicken parts
2 tbs. butter
1 tbs. olive oil (or good cooking oil)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 or 2 large cloves of garlic, pureed
1 imported bay leaf
1/4 tsp or so thyme
1 large ripe red unpeeled tomato, chopped, (or 1/3 cup canned Italian plum tomatoes)
3 cups young red wine (Zinfandel, Macon or Chianti type)
1 cup chicken stock (or more)
Beurre manie, for the sauce (1 1/2 tbs. each flour softened butter blended to a paste)
Fresh parsley sprigs (or chopped parsley)
1/3 cup good brandy (optional)
12 to 16 small brown-braised white onions
3 cups fresh mushrooms, trimmed, quartered and sautéed
Cooking Directions

Browning and simmering the chicken. Before browning the chicken, sauté the blanched bacon or salt pork and remove to a side dish, leaving the fat in the pan. Brown the chicken in the pork fat, adding a little olive oil, if needed. Flame the chicken with the brandy, if you wish -- it does give its own special flavor, besides being fun to do. Then proceed to simmer the chicken in the wine, stock, tomatoes and seasoning as directed in the master recipe.

Finishing the dish. Strain, degrease, and finish the sauce, also as described. Strew the braised onions and sautéed mushrooms over the chicken, baste with the sauce, and simmer a few minutes, basting, to rewarm the chicken and to blend flavors.

Special note: To blanch bacon or salt pork: When you use bacon or salt pork in cooking, you want to remove its salt as well as its smoky flavor, which would permeate the rest of the food. To do so, you blanch it -- meaning, you drop it into a saucepan of cold water to cover it by 2 to 3 inches, bring it to the boil, and simmer 5 to 8 minutes; the drain, refresh in cold water, and pat dry in paper towels.
