Excerpt The following is an excerpt from the
opening pages of Chapter One of How The
Left Was Won: An In-Depth Analysis of the Tools and Let’s face it, when you get right
down to it, all of liberalism is fueled by a singular strategy—a strategy
which has been continually perfected and relentlessly executed over the past
forty years. That strategy is to promote and exploit divisiveness. Everything liberal politicians do
is based on this simple principle. Tell the people that are given to hating
the most, that they are the ones who are hated. Tell the people who expect
the most, that they deserve more. Tell blacks to hate whites. Tell women to
hate men. Tell the lazy to hate the motivated. Tell the poor that only
conservatives are rich, and then be sure to tell them to hate them for it. Class warfare, race baiting, name
calling and man-hating—all with a singular goal: to get themselves in power
by promoting and exploiting divisiveness. Of course, once this divisiveness
turns into frenzy, these same people suddenly act as if they actually want to
solve a problem that didn’t even exist before they did everything they
possibly could to create it. To liberals, every issue, every
situation is an opportunity to divide. History, religion, the First
Amendment, the Second Amendment, the death of a soldier, a political debate,
the hurricane which devastated New Orleans. Every tragedy exploited to
divide. Every victory belittled to divide. Every incident, every word, every
distorted statistic, every holiday—you name it, they will find some way to
divide it. Unfortunately, it’s not just the
politicians who promote and exploit divisiveness; it is the people as well.
Malcontents, jealous of anyone with any sort of success, come up with any way
they can to attack those who are more successful then they are. Someone is
rich only because they stole something from them. Certain groups are more
successful only because they took advantage of them. Work has nothing to do
with it. Intelligence has nothing to do with it. Planning ahead has nothing
to do with it. Even luck has nothing to do with it. And what do these kinds of people
view as the solution to this imaginary injustice? Why special rights,
privileges and opportunities for themselves, of course. Level the playing
field. Get something for nothing. Take from the rich, the white, the male
dominated, homophobic society that has already given them everything. Take
what they have, what they built, what they earned—whether it be money,
property, liberty or opportunity—and find some way, some justification, some
cause or some guise to redistribute it to the people who have done nothing to
earn it. To people who refuse to compete on merit. To people who insist on
taking more out of society than what they put in to it. To people who don’t
give a damn that their inclusion comes only at the expense of someone else’s
exclusion. The strategy is simple, really—promote divisiveness and then
exploit it for your own benefit. Liberals should thank God every
day for differences between people because without them, liberalism would be
dead in the water. Without them, the country might have some stability.
Without them, it might have a chance to survive. Without them, the problems
between those who want and those who have might actually be manageable in
some meaningful or productive way. But differences have given liberals the
perfect opportunity to stop any rational discussion dead in its tracks.
Differences have led to polarization. Differences have led to countries
within a country. Differences have led to the dreaded xist-ism-monger-phobia. Differences have allowed liberals to add
any of these four sounds to the end of any word they choose, virtually
guaranteeing that they can get away with anything they want. Worse yet, liberals actually have
the nerve to turn around and endlessly accuse conservatives of divisiveness.
To them, conservatives— who believe everyone should be held to the same
standards—are somehow divisive. To them, conservatives—who believe everyone
should have the same rights regardless of the guises used to justify
different ones for different people—are somehow divisive. To them,
conservatives—who sacrifice their time, money, careers and often their lives
to defend the true meaning of freedom and liberty—are somehow divisive. But the reality is that
divisiveness does not come from those who are trying to make some
contribution to our society. The reality is that divisiveness does not come from
those who expect others to at least try to do the same. The reality is that
divisiveness comes from those who are always trying to get something out of a
society far beyond what they are willing to put back in. The reality is that
divisiveness comes from those who are always trying to get something for
nothing… |
