…are easy.\u00a0 “Have a nice day.”\u00a0 Costs nothing.\u00a0 Makes someone feel good.\u00a0 “I wish you well.”\u00a0 Who would look at that sentiment too closely?\u00a0 It’s simply wonderful.\u00a0 Surely anyone who says those words must be good.\u00a0 Likewise for all the good intentions espoused by the left such as, “Everyone should have health insurance, a college education, a job, a car, American citizenship, a home, unconditional respect from other people, a pure life in a pristine state of nature” and many other good things.\u00a0 Who could seriously question any of those good intentions?<\/p>\n
So, how did the left succeed in owning the image that they are the only group in society who hold good intentions for other people?\u00a0 More importantly, how did they do so while maintaining allegiance to social, economic and political methods that fail so completely to actually bring about the intended results of their good intentions?<\/p>\n
How does the left live with the dissonance between the intentions they continually express, and the poor results their systems actually produce?\u00a0 Doesn’t it keep them awake at night?\u00a0 Doesn’t it worry them that leftist methods have not produced a single successful society?\u00a0 Ever.\u00a0 In all of recorded history.\u00a0 Wouldn’t that give a reasonable person second thoughts?<\/p>\n
And woe unto the heretics who mention the taboo of this inconvenient fact.\u00a0 The left heaps abuse onto them, doubles down on the chanting, and shouts down the dissenters.<\/p>\n
Political and economic systems are always a choice between least-bad alternatives.\u00a0 So how does one get away with choosing the worst of the least-bad alternatives, and come away with people thinking they’ve chosen the best?<\/p>\n
Is it just good marketing?\u00a0 They’ve got some ‘splainin’ to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
