Of Liberals and Conservatives

It amazes me how I can read a blog post or article and see one point oh, so clearly. And a liberal can read the same article and see something oh, so different.

I read a liberal’s blog post about how police officials turn a blind eye to the sex slaves in San Diego, thereby giving their tacit approval, because they won’t raid the encampments.

Yet, I read the same inflammatory post, based on an unlinked article, and what I “see” is that the San Diego Police would be accused of racism, xenophobia and “racial profiling” if they raided those same encampments, displacing those poor, suffering migrant workers.

What is it about a report of a brutal and horrific rape of a lesbian in San Francisco that leads a liberal to label it a hate crime against a sexual orientation, and yet I see so clearly the violence resulting from an illegal immigration policy which has run amok?

And I think my husband and I were the only ones on the 10 Freeway who saw the irony of a liberal’s car bumper, which included: “It’s never okay to hit a child” and “Keep Abortion Legal.”

When I compare the logic patterns of liberals and conservatives, I am so glad I fall in the latter category.
Yes, when it comes to liberals and conservatives, I find that logic and compassion are always on my side.

Libs can't see it because their worldview distorts their understanding of the presence of "life" in the first place ... IMO it's because there's no fear of God!

To consciously admit to a superior being would suddenly turn a liberal worldview on its head!
