Why are the left so stupid?

The main purpose of this blog is to lay bare the dishonesty and stupidity of the scum on the left. I hope they will be aggravated by my words as much as possible. So, I am beginning a series of essays detailing their stupidity.

Why are the left so stupid? Here are just a few reasons:

(1) “Affirmative Action” – misguided policies based upon the notion that two wrongs can somehow make a right. Ethnic minorities and sometimes also women are given priority over white men for college admissions, hiring, promotions, tenure decisions for college faculty, government contracts, and much more.

These racist policies are allegedly put into practice in order to compensate for past injustices. However, most of the people who perpetrated the past “injustices” are long gone, and the burden of the policies falls primarily on young people who had nothing whatsoever to do with the “injustices”. And the benefits of the policies are granted to many people who have never experienced an injustice.

Not all white men come from privileged backgrounds. Not all minorities or women come from disadvantaged backgrounds. Often the minorities who are given preference come from highly influential families, such as the daughters of U.S. Congressman William Jefferson, who when he was indicted for bribery bragged that they had graduated from Harvard Law School. Would they have been accepted to Harvard with the same grades and LSAT scores if they were white men from a middle class household?

Furthermore, if the condition of blacks and Hispanics is so awful in the USA, then why are so many of them desperately trying to come here? They enter the country, often illegally, and push whites further and further back to the end of a longer and longer line.

“Affirmative Action” is nothing but bald-faced racism and sexism disguised with a nice sounding phrase.

(2) Support for Dictatorships in Foreign Countries – the idiots on the left like having their vote count in the USA. But they don’t want to allow people in other countries the same luxury. Many of them praised the Soviet Union during its reign of terror and murder. They have also praised Mao Tse-Tung, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Daniel Ortega, and Hugo Chavez. Somehow the left feel that just because some dictator opposes the USA, then that makes it acceptable for them to abuse their own people, deny them the write to vote in free and fair elections, and deny them their basic liberties.

(3) Suppression of Freedom in the USA - many of the left seek to deny basic freedoms to American citizens. The “hate-crimes” laws and campus “speech codes” are all attempts to deny basic freedom of thought and expression. Some of the left have even advocated that anyone like myself who speaks out against “affirmative action” should be arrested and imprisoned.

When Bill Clinton was president, he had two people arrested, on his explicit orders, for yelling “you suck” during one of his speeches. He had White House travel director Billy Dale prosecuted on false charges in order to hand the travel business over to his friend.

(4) Suppression of Voting Rights in the USA - The hypocrisy of the left reached an all-time high during the Florida recount fiasco following the 2000 presidential election. Al Gore repeatedly claimed that he wanted “all the votes counted” and at the same time he sent hordes of attorneys to Florida to challenge each and every absentee ballot sent in by a member of the military.

During the 2004 election, Ralph Nader ran for president as an independent. But attorneys for the Democrats pressed legal challenges in every state that he tried to get on the ballot, fearful that he would split the leftwing vote. Nader is every bit as bad as any Democrat, but the leaders on the left don’t want people to be able to make a choice. If they had some way of keeping Republicans and Libertarians off the ballot, they would do so.

(5) Support for High Taxes – the left are constantly trying to raise taxes on U.S. citizens and corporations. In spite of the overwhelming empirical evidence that low tax rates result in higher growth rates of the economy, the left want to increase personal income taxes, corporate income taxes, sales taxes, excise taxes, oil and gas extraction taxes, and estate taxes. Their justification is based on their belief that everything and everyone are the property of the state, and that they might be generous and allow us to keep a little bit of it. Taxes are ridiculously high in the USA and most people receive little or no benefits or government services in return.
