Obama: Liberal Reason and Fact
Since Barack Obama, the current flavor of the month or the Liberal-Left, is in the news yet again. In this piece from the Examiner, we learn:
"The arguments of liberals are more often grounded in reason and fact," the Illinois Democrat wrote in "The Audacity of Hope," a memoir published last year.
There are two problems with this statement by Obama. The first is that he must be implying that conservatives to not base their arguments in reason and fact. This is rather insulting and condescending for someone to claim, especially from a would be president.
Frankly, on many issues, Liberals do not base their arguments on reason or fact. Take the Global Warming hysteria. Sure, the climate is warming, but this is part of the natural cycle of the Earth. It was only 40 years ago that the hysteria was about a coming ice age. Go figure.
The War on Iraq, the Liberal-Left claim, cannot be won. Yet just a year or so ago, many, including former presidential candidate and still senator Kerry were claiming we needed to send more troops to Iraq in order to win.
Social Security reform is another issue that Dems refuse to discuss, despite the fact that it will go belly up probably in the next decade.
Basing their arguments of reason and fact? Sounds like a combination of scare tactics and hogwash to me. But that doesn't mean anything to the MoveOn (to France) crowd. And so long as that is true, the Liberal-Left will continue to dish out the propaganda and ignore reason and facts.
