CLICHES OF THE LEFT

LIBS DON'T THINK AND THEY DON'T ARGUE; THEY JUST REVERT TO THE PARTY-LINE AND SET CLICHES. MY FAVORITES:


1 - Trickle down economics by Big Biz doesn't work, but (somehow) when Big Government trickles down via "stimulus" it does.

2 - Conservatives want fetuses to be born but then don't want them to be taken care of because they oppose government handouts.

3 - Blacks who voice conservative or independent political views contrary to the overwhelming majority of other blacks are cowards and servile, but blacks who succumb to peer pressure and follow the Democrat Party line - no matter what - are being authentic.

4 - Global jihad which has claimed tens of thousands of lives on every continent is a bogeyman, but global warming and catastrophic climate change are real threats to humanity and polar bears.

5 - If we counter-attack the enemies of civilization with the same or greater vehemence that they attack us with, then we lose because then they've made us like them.

6 - Big Biz - which doesn't force anyone to buy or do anything, and has to compete for you attention and dollar - is evil, but Big Government - which always uses force or the threat of force - is  lovely.
