House of Eratosthenes

Because, just as sure as the sun is going to rise tomorrow, a liberal is going to insist that anyone reading this and taking it seriously is exaggerating, failing to see shades of gray, living in a “conservative echo chamber,” et cetera.

Want to know how America would look if liberals like Barack Obama had complete control of the country?

1) Abortion would be the only “choice.” Almost everything else including light bulbs, TVs, health care plans, cars, and the schools your child goes to would be chosen for you by people in D.C.

2) You could be sued for failing to warn people that you are about to say something that could conceivably be offensive to women, gays, transsexuals, or minorities.

3) Every sports fan of teams like the Redskins, Braves, Chiefs, Indians, Blackhawks, and Seminoles would be branded as a bigot and all of those teams would be forced to change their names.

Silly right winger!, they’ll say. That’s not what we want to do!

Alright then, the question that must then come up is one of: Where, then, would you all stop? And under what rationale would you be stopping at that point?

We’re at quite a few of them already, like #16:

16) Merit and even basic competence would be secondary in importance to hiring people who are the right race or sex for a job.

And #19 is coming up real quick:

19) It would be illegal to oppose gay marriage.

Here in California, we have a saying: Whatever our hard-lefty-liberal state legislature hasn’t outlawed, it merely hasn’t outlawed yet. I remember the frustration I had when I first moved here before I made my first meaningful cultural discovery. If you can imagine a law against it, rest assured that there is one. The second meaningful discovery was, just because they have all these laws on the books does not mean in any way you should expect people to actually follow them. It’s the land of a million little laws that nobody ever takes the time to actually read, much less follow.

Liberals care nothing about the past, nothing at all about the fact that what they want to do might have been tried elsewhere, with dismal or hurtful results. They reserve all their attention for the future — but, it’s so odd that they don’t care much about the future either. How far are we going to take this? Where does it stop? It’s not on their radar.

When you’re engaged in a glorious crusade, I guess you just don’t need to ask such things. Like it’s betraying the movement or something. Oh sure, there are limits when you want to shout down a conservative who has conjectured that liberals will never stop until X; at that point, they’ll always insist that they will, that the conservative is dreaming, living in a fantasy world or “bubble of unreality” or some such. But, they don’t define such limits for themselves. They don’t practice them. They’re not about stopping.

Ever.

It is an ideology that is extremist by its very nature. It always has been. Since the Reign of Terror, liberalism has always been like this. Constantly ready to feed on their own.

Yes, and the “funny” thing (sad, really) reading the comments in Townhall and RWN, none…and I do mean NONE of the liberals that see that list understand that nearly every items is happening at some level or another today. That was the whole point of it. It would be nice if it was something they could learn from. It would be nice if they had the smallest bit of wisdom to pinpoint their own hypocrisies. Unfortunately, it looks like it went over every head tilted towards the left.

How to tilt your head to the left! That’s great!

I need to somehow work that into the title of Make Bigger Mistakes, More Often, and Without Any Doubts: The Zachriel Weltanschauung. It’s already got a subtitle. Maybe I can make that one of the earlier chapters.
