Revision as of 16:26, February 13, 2008

Liberal denial is the tendency of liberals to conceal, deny or censor:

  • examples of how the liberal ideology harms people
  • one's own liberal ideology
  • how the liberal ideology is pushed on unsuspecting others, particularly youngsters

Hillary Clinton, for example, refused to admit in a presidential debate in 2007 that she is a liberal. Similarly, Michael Dukakis refused for a while to admit that he was a liberal during the 1988 presidential campaign, however he later declared himself to be a liberal, in the sense that President Harry Truman who served 40 years earlier, was a liberal.

There are also specific examples of liberals denying, for ideological reasons, facts that are plainly true:

  1. that the numerous premature deaths of Hollywood stars are the result of Hollywood values[1]
  2. that homeschoolers do better than those who attend public school
  3. that culture affects politics, and people's views and lifestyles
  4. that successful democracy, both historically and logically, is the result of Protestant Christianity[2]
  5. that Lawrence Summers was fired as President of Harvard for making a politically incorrect suggestion about women and math aptitude
  6. that Ronald Reagan's public exhortation, "[[|Mikhail Gorbachev|Mr. Gorbachev]], tear down this wall," helped cause the nearly 30-year-old Berlin Wall later be torn down
  7. that gun control may increase crime
  8. that group prayer is censored from public school
  9. that reducing taxes stimulates the economy
  10. that choosing abortion over childbirth increases the risk of breast cancer
  11. that the mainstream media is biased
  12. that privately-run transport is more efficient than government-run transport
  13. that public health care is inferior medical care
  14. that unions interfere with employment opportunities
  15. that Islamic extremism is a threat to the Western civilization[3]
