20 Questions Liberals
Can't Answer
"It is not enough
for the insecure left to deem a position wrong; if it’s merely wrong, it needs
to be argued about, and it can’t survive that. It must instead be morally
abhorrent, so that the zealot reacts to the toxin of questioning much like a jogger
coming across a decomposing body on the side of the road — it must be
internalized that the correct response to such a horror is to retch, and faint,
and call the authorities post-haste.
"If it were true
that conservatives were racist, sexist, homophobic, fascist, stupid,
inflexible, angry, and self-righteous, shouldn’t their arguments be easy to
deconstruct? Someone who is making a point out of anger, ideology,
inflexibility, or resentment would presumably construct a flimsy argument. So
why can’t the argument itself be dismembered rather than the speaker’s personal
style or hidden motives? Why the evasions?" -- Ann Coulter
Liberalism doesn't convince with logic. It can't, because the
policies liberals advocate don't work. So instead, liberals have to use
emotion-based ploys and attack the motives of people they disagree with while
attempting to keep conservative arguments from being heard at all. Why? Because
they have no good answers to questions like these.
1)
A few days ago, we were
hearing that the Boston Marathon bombers COULD BE conservative, which proved
that the Right is evil. Now, when we know that the terrorists are Muslims, how
can the same liberals be saying that it means nothing?
2)
If you believe we have a
"right" to things like health care, food, shelter and a good
education, then doesn't that also mean you believe we also have a right to
force other people to unwillingly provide those things at gunpoint?
3)
How can you
simultaneously want a big government that will make decisions that have an
enormous impact on the lives of every American while also saying that the
character and morals of our politicians don't matter?
4)
What exactly is the
"fair share" of someone's income that he’s earned that he should be
able to keep?
5)
Why is it that time and
time again, revenue paid to the treasury has GONE UP after we've cut taxes?
6) Are you pro-choice or
pro-abortion? If it's pro-choice, do you feel people should be able to choose
to have an assault weapon, what kind of light bulb they use in their house or
whether they'd like to put their Social Security funds into a private
retirement account?
7) If corporations are so awful,
greedy and bad for the country, then shouldn't we be celebrating when they
decide to close their plants here and move overseas?
8) How can liberal economists
like Paul Krugman be right when they claim that our economy isn't doing well
because we aren't spending enough money when we're already running massive,
unsustainable deficits and spending is going up every year?
9) If Republicans don’t care
about the poor, why do studies
consistently show that they give more to charity than Democrats do?
10) Give us a ballpark
estimate: If something doesn't change dramatically, how long do you think it
will be until we have an economic crash in this country similar to the one
we're seeing in Greece or Cyprus?
11) Since we "all
agree" with the idea that our level of deficit spending is
"unsustainable," what would be wrong with permanently freezing
federal spending at the current level until we balance the budget by increasing
revenue, cutting spending or some combination thereof?
12) If we change God's
definition of marriage to make gay marriage legal, then what's the logical
argument against polygamy or even adult siblings supposed to be?
13) In a world where people
can easily change states and can, with a bit more difficulty, permanently move
to other roughly comparable parts of the globe, do you really think it's
feasible over the long haul to have a tax system where 86% of the income taxes
are paid by the top 25% of the income earners?
14) If you win a lawsuit
that's filed against you, why should you have to pay huge legal bills when you
did nothing wrong while the person who filed the suit pays no penalty for
wrongly accusing you?
15) How can you oppose putting
murderers to death and be fine with killing innocent children via abortion?
16) A minimum wage raises
salaries for some workers at the cost of putting other workers out of jobs
entirely. What's the acceptable ratio for that? For every 10 people who get a higher
salary, how many are you willing to see lose their jobs?
17) The earth has been warming
and cooling for thousands of years with temperature drops and increases that
are much larger than the ones we've seen over the last century. Since we can't
adequately explain or model those changes, what makes us think we can say with
any sort of confidence that global warming is being caused by man?
18) We live in a world where
people have more choices than ever before in music, entertainment, careers,
news sources and what to do with their time. Shouldn't government mirror that
trend by moving towards federalism and states’ rights instead of centralizing
more and more power in Washington, DC?
19) If people in the middle
class aren't willing to pay enough in taxes to cover the government services
that they use because they don't think it's worth the money, shouldn't we prune
back government to a level people do feel comfortable paying for in taxes?
20) If firms can get by with
paying women 72 cents on the dollar for the same quality of work as men, then
why don't we see any firms with all female labor forces using those lower costs
to dominate the marketplace?
