CONSERVATIVES VS. LIBERALS: THE NATURE OF THE BEAST
It began about hundred thousand years ago on a ledge in front of a cave. A female homo sapiens walked by, attracting the attention of a male. The male stepped forward, raised his arm, and smacked her over the head with a club. WHACK! He then dragged the unconscious female into his cave for sex.
One day there were two males standing in front of a cave when a female walked by. The first raised his arm to club the female, but the second male communicated to the first that clubbing women over the head to get sex was not nice. WHACK! WHACK! The first male stepped over the unconscious second male and proceeded to rape the female. On that day the first liberal paid the price for expressing a new idea.
Things didn't change much for thousands of years until the advent of projectile weapons. This was first symbolized by the David and Goliath story in the Bible, where the big strong brute was laid flat by the small but more intelligent boy. Once brute strength was no longer the controlling factor in social interaction, liberal ideas slowly gained a foothold in human culture, and civilization began.
Throughout history, the price for advocating tolerance and progressive change has been paid in threats, beatings, excommunication, incarceration, torture, murder, assassination, and execution. Countless liberals have paid the ultimate price for their service to humanity. Though Jesus Christ is the most famous, names in recent history that come to mind are Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., John Lennon, and Robert Kennedy.
Today there are many conservatives - individuals, groups, and nations - who use threats and violence to silence the voices of reason, tolerance, and progress. Here in America it is seen in racists and homophobes beating blacks and gays, sometimes to death, not for money or out of anger generated by interactive cause, but out of religious intolerance and secular bigotry.
Alan Berg on talk radio was a strong voice against a conservative organization called the Aryan Nation. For thus exercising his freedom of speech, he was shot dead while walking his dog in front of his house.
David Rice, a man on Washington State's death row, has no remorse whatsoever for entering the home of a family of four and carving out their living hearts only because he heard they were "liberals." He got their names from a Democratic Party membership list.
Right-wingers Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols killed 168 men, women, and children as an act of protest. What liberals have ever committed such an abominable atrocity?
Arguing that such crimes are not political in nature or that they are not done primarily by conservatives is utter nonsense. Look back:
Who nailed who to a cross?
Who were the Loyalists to the totalitarian monarchy of King George?
Who started our Civil War to defend slavery?
Who fought against child labor statutes?
Who fought against the concept of free public education?
Who fought against the right of women to vote?
Who fought against anti-trust and anti-monopoly legislation?
Who fought against workers organizing?
Who started WW2, murdered 13 million and caused the death of 40 million more?
Who defended Jim Crow for a hundred years?
Who fought against voting rights, civil rights, social security, health care for the elderly, and minimum wages?
Who fought to keep women as property, and now fight against their right to sovereignty over their own bodies?
Who fights against environmental protection statutes?
Who opposes equal rights for gays and other free lifestyle minorities?
Who cruelly opposes physician-assisted dying for suffering, terminally ill patients soon to die anyway?
Who is sabotaging the separation of Church and State, and our other Constitutional rights, freedoms, and protections?
Who are the moralizing hypocrites forcing their puritanical inhibitions and prohibitions on ALL Americans via freedom-destroying legislation and draconian, police-state enforcement practices?
Who always puts personal gain and corporate wealth and power above the common good?
CONSERVATIVES OR LIBERALS?
It is the historically proven, undeniable truth - these evils are THE NATURE OF THE CONSERVATIVE BEAST!
