Recognizing Liberal Guilt - Martin Higgins
Liberal Guilt is an advanced form of 6th-grade classroom clique politics, where manipulation, rumor-mongering, and covert alliances allow a few otherwise unremarkable kids to hold sway over the entire class.
Full-blown Liberal Guilt is unique in that it is both a debilitating psychological malady and powerful political manipulation tool.
Those who suffer from Liberal Guilt are unable to enjoy what they have - freedoms, belongings, peace - because there are others who don't have these fruits of democracy, capitalism, and military strength. LibGuilt people writhe in agony at the thought that other Americans enjoy these gifts and, in their hate, seek to restrict freedom, re-distribute wealth, and destroy the powers within the United States that maintain peace.
Those who use Liberal Guilt to manipulate others, portray middle-class Americans and the actions of the United States to be greedy, brutal, sexist, racist, homophobic, etc. This unrelenting re-framing of every American thought, word, and deed produces a hypnotic effect on weak-minded people - they come to believe the inverse of everything: vaccinations cause disease, hating business and technology is seen as concern for the planet, dictators are benevolent / elected leaders are tyrants, tolerance and independence are complicitous social crimes / terrorist violence is justified political dissent, so-called illegal behavior is merely social prejudice against the individual, wealth is greed, poverty is honesty, patriotism is terrorism, terrorism is liberation...
A Guilty Liberal hates the United States because there is less freedom and wealth in the rest of the world. Yet, any attempt to extend this freedom and wealth to others is castigated as imperialism. A politician using Liberal Guilt seeks to gain power not by creating freedom and wealth of the rest of the world, but rather by leading the dissolution of the U.S.
The underlying LibGuilt mantra is: "The U.S. has too much, we care too little, we cheat, we lie, and we take advantage of others." When other countries actually display these attitudes and behaviors, the LibGuilt counters with, "Well of course they did. They HAD to, because of what the United States does everyday!"
The LibGuilt goal is an ethically-segregated socialist utopia where the only people with no civil rights are White European Males, who will forever be the scapegoat for all the ills and shortcoming of others.
The LibGuilt dream is the return of a benevolent dictator who tells everyone the right thing to do and anyone who disagrees can be chased through the streets with impunity. The dream also includes a world were America is insignificant excerpt for its ability to support the rest of the world, unimportant other than for its role as an example of a reformed exploiter, powerless except for its ability to perform the U.N.'s police scut work.
Those who subscribe to the Liberal Guilt agenda are part of a pernicious masochism/suicide cult where the United States must be broken, humbled, and purged of the very people and businesses that give it life. Surely the history of Communism never showed a coherent working model, the history of Socialism never delivered a shred of fairness, equality or competence, but the Guilty Liberals KNOW that the best working model of government and society in the world must be destroyed.
And now, the Liberal Guilt tool of choice is inflaming the resentment of Gore supporters who they call "disenfranchised." This conveniently associates those voters with illegal immigrants, minorities, extremist political groups, eco-terrorist, radical sex causes and prisoners.
As the flames are fanned, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and ACLU lawyers are attempting to abolish voting itself, by arguing that "even if one potential voter is denied the opportunity to vote (for whatever reason) the entire vote must be declared invalid."
The great contradiction here, is that the most of the LibGuilt crowd rarely interact directly with the "oppressed" they seek to "liberate" preferring to destroy the system in anticipation of the 2nd Coming of the "Age Of Aquarius."
