[img]1|left|||no_popup[/img]Pity the pitiable children across America this morning who have liberals for parents.
If their children disagree with them or give the slightest hint of resisting their authoritarian rule, I am confident modern liberal mommies and daddies react the same way they do at the office when courageous Republicans contradict them.
They blow up.
Insulted that a resident of the family home possesses the chutzpah to hold an independent opinion, the liberal parent crankily stands up from the dinner table, wine glass tilting in his left hand, elevates his voice maximally, and then goes into his humiliation shtick. Loudly he bellows that this doomed child is an idiot and a knave who is deliberately subverting the truth to win cheap support from siblings.
Thanks to the reverentially bloated Ted Kennedy and others of his perverted ilk who served in Congress the last 30 years, it has become left-wing doctrine for liberals to eviscerate those who disagree with them instead of thinking through the process and offering a counter-point.
Wreck him, kill him, the drunken Mr. Kennedy would cry of a rival, chief among them Judge Robert Bork. Blot out his family.
Thank you, God, for creating stable, measured liberals. Do not defeat an opponent. Blast him so he will be disabled the rest of his life — this appears to be liberal mantra.
Even though I was raised in a liberal household, I was lucky. I grew up a generation ahead of the imposition of this oppressive doctrine.
My late father was a passionate Democrat to the core, but he could not quite cop to the reality. “I never vote a straight ticket,” Pop would vow before every election. “I vote for the man, not the party.” By the darnedest coincidence, every man he ever voted for was a Democrat.
The Cost of Disagreement
I was pondering this latest left-wing extremism a couple days ago while reading about the most extraordinary event of the past fortnight, a liberal-fueled boycott of Whole Foods stores.
Even though the essay was written by the briefly disgraced Los Angeles Times business columnist Michael Hiltzik, an admitted liar, we know from other even more reliable sources that the described events are true.
The immensely tiresome Mr. Hiltzik, no independent he, picked up the requisite liberal chant that Whole Foods must be boycotted and destroyed because CEO John Mackey wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal last month stating his opposition to Obamacare, the Dear Leader’s still-unformed healthcare reform scam.
Stone him. Whip him. Fry him. Simultaneously. Horrors.
Golly, Murgatroyd, aren’t you impressed by the gentle, subtle persuasiveness of Mr. Hiltzik’s eruditely constructed delegitmating scheme?
You may safely wager Mr. Hiltzik is one of those darling liberal parents who thrillingly berates his children, publicly, for entertaining a thought contrary to his.
The sweet irony of Mr. Hiltzik’s argument is that if Mr. Mackey had touted the opposing side of healthcare reform, the Timesman would have ladled out hot, rich praise for his enviable thinking apparatus. But irony is their enemy, too.
Who Knew It Was Temporary?
Formerly, Whole Foods was a shrine of left-wing idol worship because, wow, mama, these organically pure foods are so darned healthy that they probably are reducing the threat of global warming. Hourly.
Little did the smiling Whole Foods executives realize left-wing worship was conditional.
Lurking deceptively in the background was a sly underlying message that liberals habitually pack in their other fist:
Don’t cross me or you will be punished.
Why can’t Mr. Hiltzik behave like the conservative quarter of the civilized world? Why not show Mr. Mackey, through reasoning, where he believes the Whole Foods exec is wrong instead of vowing to dismember him and eradicate his Whole organization.
As an unswerving Swish Obama acolyte, Mr. Hiltzik could more pragmatically invest his energy in rescuing the President’s plummeting ratings that make him the fastest failing President in history.
