The liberal worldview comes home to roost
By Jared | February 20, 2008
The Associated Press reported Monday that Hillary Clinton is trying to smear Barack Obama.
Yup, you heard it right, now let’s try it again. This time, put it in quote marks. “Top advisers to Hillary Rodham Clinton accused Democratic rival Barack Obama of plagiarism Monday, the latest effort by her campaign to undermine the Illinois senator’s credibility.” (Obtained at Newsmax.com under the headline “Clinton camp accuses Obama of Plagiarism.”)
Take about two seconds to savor it. Instead of doing their job as part of the Clinton smear machine, at least a few members of the media have turned the sword of their pens on she who had been their biggest darling. Don’t you just feel vindicated? Took long enough, didn’t it?
…Ok, you’ve had your gloat. Don’t let it cloud your vision. There’s a lot more to be learned here.
Stealing the silverware (surely Mrs. Clinton’s biggest achievement and most valuable learning experience during her time in the White House) wasn’t enough to make them sit up and take notice. Why turn on her now?
Frankly, I doubt they even realize that’s what they did. It’s just how they’re programmed. Everybody has a worldview—a set of beliefs and opinions through which they see the world. That is why objectivity is impossible. No matter how you try to see things, it’s still you looking at them. A nearsighted person does not correct his eye problems by trying to guess how a person with normal vision sees.
Likewise with this reporter from the Associated Press. He came out of the indoctrination centers (journalism school) all programmed with a liberal world view that says “only racists criticize blacks.”
The reality is more subtle, but is exactly that. In this country, saying something negative about a black person is automatically bad. You are wrong to say it, even if it is true. Stating a simple fact like, “there are more black people in prison than white people” automatically makes people think that 1. You are a racist and 2. There is something wrong with the prison system.
Think about it a little more deeply. In US History class we learned that slave owners argued for slavery by saying black people were just too destructive and childish to be left alone. Maybe they were right. Perhaps the great experiment of African American freedom was just a great big mistake and we should round all the blackies up and start making them WORK again instead of mooching off hardworking Americans through the welfare system.
…Ok, you can stop freaking out now. I’m joking. I do think, however, that those of us who have brains need to do two things. One, be realistic about the problem and try to see through the lies inherent in the liberal world view. (And don’t take it so seriously when I make fun of black people. Sheesh. Equal opportunity humor, remember?) Two, try to fix the situation. …but that’s another story.
