Evil of the Left

Evil: To kill,, and blame life. They undermine freedom with oppressive policies, then blame 'too much freedom' for societal ills. They undermine the cultivation of intellect in schools by teaching social conformity, then blame the now blind self interest for economic woes. They insist on politics of pull serving economic interests willing to buy success at a bargain, then blame free self interest for lack of upward mobility. They tell us 'the good' is others, and search vainly for their children's self esteem. They tell us that our group consciousness is primary, that there is value wherever we all 'say' there is value, then debase the currency and blame hunger on greed. They maim the intellect, cultivate resentment and guilt by altruism, poison self esteem by demanding social conformity, steal life effort in the name of charity, and claim it is ALL for the 'common good (tm)' ---- and then, THEN, they stare in shocked, speechless, vapid, cognitive

The facts, from a Peter Schiff article: "The last few years have proven that there is no line Washington will not cross in order to keep bubbles from popping. Just 10 years ago many of the analysts now crowing about the perfect conditions would have been appalled by policies that have been implemented to create them.

Just five years later it has surpassed a staggering $17.5 trillion. This raw increase is roughly equivalent to all the Federal debt accumulated from the birth of our republic to 2004!"

Altruism

My life is my own.  Liberals, collectivists, statists, tell us that the criterion of moral goodness is to live for others.  And yet liberals statistically give the very least of their own money to others.    Some conservatives, some capitalists, tell us that capitalism, individual rights to life and property, are 'good' because, though selfish (bad), the process of honoring individual rights in economics serves the good of the greatest number of people.  Again, the individual life is held up as a *means* to everybody else.  Again, the moral good is that a man lives for everyone else. Well, stop it. Stop telling me that 'the good' means any action in which I disregard my own life.  It is in valuing true values TO SELF, and supporting them, and therefore self, with the productive force of one's own life that is moral. If you are unable or unwilling to see how another man's life is of value to yourself, do all of humanity (including yourself) a favor and DON
