Difference between revisions of "Liberal denial"

Revision as of 14:18, September 11, 2017

Cover of Rolling Stone Magazine, one of many published "halo-effect" photos of Barack Obama; the emphasis is on the claims that he is a "messiah," and is an example of liberal deification of a government official in accordance with point #13.

Liberal denial is the tendency of liberals to conceal, deny or censor the truth for ideological reasons. The root cause of liberal denial is a desire to deny Jesus Christ, and ultimately the existence of God. A list of examples of liberal denial are the following:

1. Liberals continue to deny that George W. Bush defeated Al Gore for president in 2000 (e.g., Joe Biden denied it in remarks on June 12, 2013; Al Gore himself denied it in remarks on August 4, 2017).
2. Mass immigration to Europe from the Middle East has brought an increased threat and the greater occurrence of terrorism. Yet European leaders deny the threat of Islamic terrorism, and terrorist attacks have shown how poorly prepared and secured their countries and facilities are.^[1] When attacks occur, the leaders often state that they "are a part of daily life", and they refuse to admit that the motive of the terrorists is Islamic radicalism.^[1] This is likely due to political correctness and the blindness that comes with liberalism and support for a one-world government.
3. Lies about a phony armed robbery were spread by the liberal media in smearing the gracious host of the 2016 Summer Olympics, and yet liberals did not fully correct and apologize for the lies even after Brazilians worked hard to uncover the truth.
4. Terrorism was not mentioned, not even once, during the entire first day of the Democratic National Convention in 2016, despite increasing numbers of widely reported terrorism having occurred in Florida, in France, and elsewhere.
5. Obama refused to mention ISIS, radical Islam, or Islamic extremism in his comments on the worst attack since 9/11—a mass murder committed by an admitted supporter of ISIS in a Florida nightclub in June 2016.
6. Deny that the much-publicized "proof" of the general theory of relativity in 1919 was, in fact, scientific misconduct by Arthur Eddington who "cherry-picked"^[2] his data to reach his desired result, which would have gotten him expelled from any PhD program worth its salt today.
7. Deny the lack of racial diversity on the women's World Cup 2015 team, which had an all-white coaching staff and an all-white starting line-up.
8. Falsification of a theory, for which a Nobel Prize has been awarded, is never admitted by the English lamestream media.^[3]
9. Multiple murders committed by an atheist is neither a hate crime nor terrorism, but a rarely occurring murder committed by a Christian must be both.
10. Denial whenever there is a cold winter, and denial of the fact that the world has not warmed for many years.
11. Liberals deny that violent video games incite and train young mass murderers to go on unspeakable killing rampages.
12. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the mass murderer who perpetrated the Boston Marathon bombing, likely committed a gruesome triple murder in 2011 on the 10th year anniversary of 9/11, but liberals refuse to admit it and government insists the investigation is still ongoing (for endless years).
13. Liberals refuse to admit that "crime [has become] a major part of South African life, be it violent robberies or drive-by shootings."^[4]
14. Liberals deny that Abraham Lincoln developed a strong faith in the Lord in the last few years of life, as proven by his declaration of Thanksgiving Day as an official holiday, his insertion of "under God" into the Gettysburg Address, and in his personal comments.^[5]
15. Liberals deny that the shutdown of the federal government is a good thing.
16. Liberals deny that some disciples likely wrote down teachings of Jesus while he was living. This liberal denial is way to deny Jesus's words.
17. Liberals deny even the possibility of women having different aptitude for math than men, even though every Fields Medal recipient has been male, nearly every Putnam fellow has been male, and the highest achievers on the SAT math exam are predominantly male.
18. Liberals deny that Jesus Christ was most likely the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews; no other plausible author has been suggested.
19. Liberals deny that human intelligence inevitably and demonstrably declines from generation to generation, and that if there were another 100 generations into the future the people would not be able to understand simple concepts.
20. Liberals deny the very real existence of fetal pain during abortion.
21. Liberals deny the very real existence of Hell. Jesus talked about Hell more than Heaven.
22. Liberals deny how they censor the Bible from their daily activities, and encourage the censorship for others too.
23. Liberals deny that Fidel Castro, who has not been seen in public since his intestinal surgery in 2006, is likely deceased. Similarly, for nearly three months liberals denied that Hugo Chavez had died.
24. Liberals deny the Nobel Prize is an award given by liberals to other liberals, and sometimes even granted in an awkward manner designed to punish a critic of liberal falsehoods.^[6]
25. Liberals deny how they deify government officials, similar to how communists deified Stalin and Lenin and still deify Castro.^[7]
26. Liberals deny how fellow travelers engage in deceit, or at least refuse to admit it.
27. Liberals deny they are liberal, and that most of the media are liberal.
28. Liberals deny that Hollywood values, professor values and general liberal values have consequences for those who believe in them, and also for innocent victims.
29. Liberals deny that they have censored prayer in public school.^[8]
30. Liberals deny that a woman significantly reduces her risk of breast cancer by having children rather than abortions
31. Liberals deny that about half of promiscuous people carry sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and those STDs cause infertility^[9]
32. Liberals deny that the strident promoters of evolution generally have weaker credentials than advocates of intelligent design^[10]
33. Liberals deny that College faculties at nearly every American school are completely dominated by liberals, and have virtually no conservatives
34. Liberals deny that Homosexuality shortens lifespan for a wide variety of reasons
35. Liberals deny that reducing the number of guns, which are primarily defensive weapons, results in an increase in crime
36. Liberals deny that Hitler and the Nazi party were in fact Liberals (anti-Semitism is a well-documented characteristic of Liberal Christianity as is the PETA-like Green wing of the Third Reich^[11])

Post the 2016 U.S. Presidential election many liberals were in denial that Donald Trump was going to be president of the United States.

Often liberals refuse to admit that they are liberals, in the hope of appearing more "reasonable". Hillary Clinton 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. Only out of desperation did Dukakis admit that he was a liberal, and even then he admitted only that was a liberal like President Harry Truman, who served 40 years earlier.

Liberals like to bash President Bush as a war monger and cite President Clinton for his eight years of peace and prosperity. Liberals will deny record low unemployment, more people owning their homes and President Bush going after terrorists while protecting Americans from further attacks. Liberals will selectively forget that during Clinton's term: the Rwanda massacre occurred, the bombing of the USS Cole, the war in the Balkans, the two US embassies bombed in Africa, the Kobar tower bombing in Saudi Arabia, the Somalia conflict, the missile strike against Afghanistan and the bombing campaign against Iraq. Also, liberals will deny that Clinton's economic policy ignored a series of high-profile companies that eventually collapsed due to fraud: Enron, Tyco, Worldcom and Qwest.

As part of their denial, liberals often use the word "denial" pejoratively against conservatives. Alleging that conservatives are "racist" and "reject science", they use terms like "global warming deniers" and "climate change deniers" in an attempt to link conservative viewpoints with Holocaust denial, Nazism, conspiracy theories, and pseudoscience.
