Why I Hate The Left

I have many friends and acquaintances that are lefties, but what I do disagree with is what they stand for politically. My biggest pet peeve against the left is their “slash and burn” techniques that many of them and their friends in the MSM use whenever anyone presents a reasonable argument against any of the things that they hold dear.

Anyone who disagrees with the indoctrinated views imposed by successive liberal governments over the past 30 years are suddenly labeled extremists, bigots, racists, un-Canadian, etc

1. Kyoto – Argue against the economic cost or science of Kyoto and you are accused of being the following - “Global warming denier”, “In the pockets of big-oil”, “In bed with the polluters”, “If you are against Kyoto, you not care about our planet and our children’s future”
   


2. Universal healthcare vs. Allowing private health-care to exist alongside with public healthcare – “Un-Canadian” (Even though some of the most vocal critics of private health-care have gone to the US or taken family members there for treatment instead of having to wait in the queue like most Canadians), “Trying to turn Canada’s healthcare system into a completely private one like the US” (Even though that is not what most of us are advocating)



3. Supporting Canadian troops in Afghanistan (Even though it was the Liberals who moved Canadian troops from the relatively safe Kabul to Kandahar and initiated the combat phase of the mission) - “War-monger”, “George Bush’s poodle”, “Anti-Islamic” (despite many Muslims being among the people brutally killed and mutilated by the Taliban and Al-Qaeda)

This comment by one of the readers to my blog symbolizes many of the things that I, as a person to the right of the political spectrum, have against the left.

Yes, I HATE the left;

I hate their moral relativism that puts wicca, paganism and new age Californian crystal power theology on the same footing as Judeo-Christian tradition.

I hate their secular humanism that tries to make faith something to be ashamed of.

I hate the ease with which they use the suffix "...phobe" to stifle any discussion or debate.

I hate their victimhood industry that works to remove all personal responsibility for ones actions. You're in one of the "victim" groups, society made you do it!

I hate their Michael Moores, their Al Gores, their Laurie Davids, their Leonardo DiCaprios who have perfected the selective use of facts to support their do as we say-not as we do agendas.

I hate their influence on the judiciary that has resulted in a softening in sentencing and the removal of the punitive aspect of a prison sentence. Cable TV and taxpayer funded tattoo parlors; now that's hard time.

I hate how all of these left-wing ideas have turned Canadian government into a tax and spend nanny state and Canadian society into a whiny, politically correct subservient population that shies away using the word HATE.

I hate the left and all it stands for and I will not apologize for that.
