Liberals Are Evil, Wrong and Nuts!
(Part I)

Ann Coulter took some heavy artillery from the left this past       week. Her new book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism, has ignited the outrage of liberals. You go girl! The media particularly has overreacted to such an extent it is almost comical. When NBC, as only one example, reported the release of her book on June 6, 2006, (666) they painted her with the same colors that a rational person would paint Adolf Hitler, Osama bin Ladin, or Jeffrey Dahmer. If I had not known what I was watching I might have guessed that I was watching a Saturday Night Live skit.

This type of reaction is actually normal for liberals. When Ann Coulter in the spirit of a Toto pulls back the curtain and exposes the real wizard they know the game is up. They cannot stand being seen for who they are. They cannot tolerate having opposing viewpoints and they are terrified of truth when it doesn’t line up with their worldview.[1] Trust me, truth has no place in the liberal worldview. If you don’t believe me then just watch the liberal of your choice over time. Match up what they say with what they do. You’ll be convinced sooner rather than later.

Liberals have adopted some of the same tactics that communists have used for years. They don’t have a pure philosophy of law. Right and wrong are not the focus of concern. It is only what advances their cause that counts. This is why when the popular votes goes against them on an issue they often circumvent the will of the people and get a liberal judge to rule in their favor. Californians are well aware of this practice in their state.

I stated in my headline that liberals are evil, wrong, and nuts. Let me address these charges one by one. My points are aimed at radical liberals who, by the way, dominate the leadership of all the major institutions in this nation. Their influence reaches far beyond the political sphere where we seem to focus most of our attention. We need to look in the bushes too.

Liberals dominate the media. They rule the schools. Liberals stack the leadership of the American Medical Association and the American Bar Association. They control most of the major foundations and they manage some of the most influential companies in America. Liberals line the ranks of the environmental groups, animal rights groups, and anti-war organizations. And don’t forget Hollywood which cannot turn out a movie, it seems, without an anti-war message, a gratuitous homosexual theme, or an end-of –the world scenario caused by global warming.

We must remember that liberalism is not just a system of bad ideas. It is a religion with its priests, creeds, confessions, and dogmas. Liberals worship the system, their church. They gladly sacrifice themselves and anyone else, friend or foe, who gets in the way of the cause. They are more religious than most Christians. They are more dedicated than most Christians. I’m sorry, it’s just a fact and I’ll bet 99% of pastors will agree with me.

I truly believe with all my heart that liberals are our enemies. They are enemies of what is good. They are God’s enemies. Now before anyone starts judging me let me finish building my case. My standard is going to be Scripture and hopefully you will agree with my reasoning.

Can we agree up front that if God calls something evil, then it is? Can we agree that if God says don’t do something, then we shouldn’t do it? And finally, if God says we should do something then there is no other option?  If we can agree on these basics, let’s see if my charges are valid.

My first charge is that liberals are evil. Isaiah 5:20 says: Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil, who put darkness for light, and light for darkness. Scripture also says we can judge a tree (or a person) by their fruit. A good tree bears good fruit and a bad tree bad fruit. This is simple enough.

Since we don’t use the word “evil” much anymore I want to submit a definition for my purposes here. This comes from Webster’s 1828 Dictionary.

E'VIL, n. Evil is natural or moral. Natural evil is any thing which produces pain, distress, loss or calamity, or which in any way disturbs the peace, impairs the happiness, or destroys the perfection of natural beings. Moral evil is any deviation of a moral agent from the rules of conduct prescribed to him by God, or by legitimate human authority; or it is any violation of the plain principles of justice and rectitude. There are also evils called civil, which affect injuriously the peace or prosperity of a city or state; and political evils, which injure a nation, in its public capacity.

Modern liberalism in America qualifies as evil under every part of the above definition. It is disturbing that we don’t see it as such.

God says murder is evil. The essence of murder is striking out at the image of God found in man. It is the worst of human crimes. In fact, God thinks murder so heinous He determined that the only satisfaction for the crime is the death of the perpetrator.[2] Liberals believe in abortion and abortion is the cold-blooded murder of babies, the most innocent among us.[3] You tell me, are liberals evil? Call it what you will, terminating a pregnancy, dilation and evacuation, or premature delivery. It’s still murder. A wig by any other name is still a wig.

By the way liberals disagree with God’s use of the death penalty. They routinely support murderers and ignore their victims. Regardless of the crime or the number of dead bodies, liberals side with the criminal.

God says stealing is wrong. The eighth commandment says, “You shall not steal.” No interpretation needed here. Therefore, stealing is wrong, evil. Liberals believe in stealing. Theft is the very foundation of their corrupt socialistic worldview. They take (steal) from the rich and give to the poor. The more one makes, the more liberals want to take and redistribute. 

Liberals fight any attempt at tax relief. They are still crying over the Bush tax cuts. They continue to claim it only benefits the rich. I got my tax cut and I’m not rich. Did you ever think the time would come, as it has, when the President of the United States would have to tour the nation in order to convince Americans that they should keep their money? He actually had to sell us on a tax cut. What is wrong with us?

Liberal thinking is so far gone on this that they actually promised tax increases as part of their platform in the last two presidential elections. You would think they would at least take the lead from Bill Clinton and lie. He promised a middle-class tax cut and then reneged a few days after he was elected. Thank God they lost.

In the name of compassion,[4] liberals steal the quality and dignity of life from the poorest among us. They do this by hooking them on the welfare system and then writing rules which make it nearly impossible for them to escape.

Liberals rob employers of the benefit of offering apprenticeships and young workers from learning a valuable skill. This is done through the minimum wage laws and employment rules. They also cause more unemployment. Minimum wage laws force employers to pay some workers more than they are worth. They must make up the difference by eliminating workers, reducing hours, or raising prices. People are robbed on all levels.

In the First Commandment, God says, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” Liberals like any god but the true on. Those in the liberal establishment, especially those in organizations like the ACLU and American’s United for the Separation of Church and State, have worked feverishly to eject God permanently out of public consciousness. They are succeeding.

Who was it that got Bible reading in government schools halted? Who was it that had prayer in government schools banished? Thanks to liberal efforts, every god known to man is now welcomed into our children’s classrooms. The devil himself has been given a hall pass and our God is shamelessly declared persona non grata.  Are liberals evil? You tell me.

Liberals support evil people too. Jimmy Carter went to Havana to dine with Fidel Castro. Rush Limbaugh said some years ago that there wasn’t a dictator that Jimmy Carter didn’t like. Hillary Clinton commended Saddam Hussein on his treatment of women while condemning the U.S. for the Iraq war. Bill Clinton helped restore Haiti dictator Jean-Bertrand Aristide to power. Those who wield brutal power apparently fascinate Liberals.

Col. Oliver North reports on his website, www.freedomalliance.org:

“Castro was one of the few tyrants who failed to grace William Jefferson Blythe Clinton’s social calendar, though Mr. Clinton made it a habit to meet regularly with the Dictator-of-the-Month while in office. Yasser Arafat visited 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue no less than eleven times. Be it Fidel Castro, Yasser Arafat or former Soviet dictator Mikhail Gorbachev, it seems American liberals crave the affection of brutal authoritarians whose regimes have brought nothing but agony and cruelty to their people.”

Are you with me so far?
