Win or Lose, Liberal Tactics Never Shed Their Sameness

Ari L. NoonanEditor's Essays

When liberals lose, they act silly – witness their buffoonish behavior in the 24 hours since the Hobby Lobby and home care workers union rulings by the Supreme Court.

When liberals win, they act silly – witness their exposed but ignored lies about the phony plastic bag ban, the massive lies about climate change that were so egregious they had to change the name, and the me-too lies they told for a few days last month about the inoffensive nickname of  the Washington Redskins.

Liberals Have a Hobby

From The New York Times to the Los Angeles Titanic, hard  left journalists have harvested a fresh batch of lies about yesterday’s Hobby Lobby decision. It is called changing the subject. Don’t argue the case. Introduce a distraction.
The saddest and most frequently invoked lie, on all but one television network and rampant on the internet, was that the ruling immorally ruined women’s “access” to healthcare. These same persons think it is honorable that 50 million liberals are on food stamps – which is why voting laws were tightened.

Fluke was a Fluke

The Titanic, The Times, the Washington Post and others used the discredited Sandra Fluke argument that all women are entitled to all forms of contraception in their health insurance coverage.
“So much for the ability of their employees to access modern health care,” sneered the Denver Post said.

The Washington Post contended that the Hobby Lobby case, which successfully sought to exclude four forms of contraception inducing abortions, while providing 16 others, was false. The government-driven “mandate does not force (Hobby Lobby) or any of their employees to use the birth control methods to which they object.”

Liberals, you see, are not interested in winning these ideological arguments,  just in causing irritation.

Often without spouses and estranged from religion, traditional pillars normal people rely on, they seek to brighten their empty lives with hollow, short-term excitement.

What probably troubles normal people the most about the regularly scheduled, faintly robotic, outbursts by liberals is that they tell lies out of habit rather than conviction.

Stirring up is the single objective of these hard lefties, who hope to de-dullify their drab daily routines.

Harassing tactics, typically, are employed to vex their rivals. Hit-and-run. No interest in demonstrating the superiority of their argument or the weakness of a rival’s contentions. It is not about winning but raising hackles.
