I am slowly becoming disillusioned as to the true nature of so-called liberals. I am currently reviewing my articles from previous years. During that time, I had been deathly afraid that someone in the typical mainstream media outlets would read my essays and just start screaming, would start hurling screeching hysterical accusations that that is RACIST. Or regarding other articles, they might accuse me that I must be jealous of strong capable women in charge if her own life, and that I must be just ashamed of my body and that is the only reason that I could possibly think women need to conduct themselves with some self-respect. I was afraid they would call me out for not being open-minded, for not keeping up with the times, for not being modern and liberated enough. Looking back now, my peculiarities don't seem _as_ liberal as other people's morass that permeates the airwaves. Believe it or not, that was the liberal version of myself.
Note the following.
*I truly believed that extreme conservatives were just as bad as extreme liberals. I noticed several parallels in their thought cognitive processes. I still do think this now. But had I not gone through that liberal stint, I would not have noticed it. I do suppose I have liberalism to thank for that. Ehh.
Many times in the media, liberals/atheists and Christians butt heads on a number of topics. The Christians' responses are predictable, as you might have predicted. But somewhat surprisingly, now the atheists' responses are quickly growing very formulaic as well.
I have a unique vantage point, coming from a background that is not specifically Christian, but is definitely religious and strict. My perspectives on things have become more complex, and are more comprehensive. This was actually quite fun and convenient; I could use this to my advantage. Anytime a religious nutjob tried my patience, I could side with the atheists. Any time a "godless hairy ape" (hehe, that's from "Sabrina the Teenage Witch") grated my nerves, I could side with the Christians.
However, more recently several different current news events progressed very quickly in series. This spurred me [[like an emergency response]]]]]]] to rethink my outlook. It is odd that they are transforming before my very eyes. Either they were always like that and now it is midnight, therefore their magical spellcast disguise of a stately coach is wearing off to reveal the true rotting pumpkin. -Or- they are slowly but surely degenerating into hypocrisy and gullibility, which indicates they do not realize what a joke they are.
Here are summarized examples.
*I was really only protesting the extreme disgusting ends of the spectrum, not liberalism as a collective whole. I was not truly able to verbalize coherently, using methodical philosophical arguments, as to why this is bad. And I did not yet recognize it as being from the liberal train of thought; I simply thought those were simply misogynism in another form.
Let me be even more completely honest than I have been before. It was not just a matter of me trying to be nice and politically correct. I also succumbed to peer pressure. I was cringing and flinching the whole entire time I was writing. Every single time I wrote something critical of liberal dreck, I was afraid that some insane liberal would come at me, screaming in hysteria and irrationalism, foaming at the mouth, and would accuse me of wanting women to be stuck back in the 1950s.
*I was always trumpeted equality of the different ethnicities, the races. This one was not my fault; I truly did not have all of the information. The mass media truly was covering up a lot of pertinent information about race, intelligence, education, and success.
*I was vehemently protesting Christianity and Islam. If not being atheist myself, then I certainly was sympathetic towards them. Because I still dutifully believed that they were open-minded, progressive, open to all ideas, that they believed in freedom from dictatorial dogmatic thought control. I believed when they said they were completely non-judgmental towards Christians. Totally unlike the way that Christians/religious types treat them. I believed when they said they would never ever force their beliefs or day-to-day life conduct onto Christians, the way that Christians do to atheists.
Re atheists: at first I believed them when they said they were much more respectful towards women, that they regarded women as whole healthy human beings on an equal plane of existence to that of men. But it turns out they are huge disgusting perverts. What's worse, it is supposedly the “scientists” that are foisting this idea onto the general public. You know, supposedly the free thinkers and forward thinkers and the people who base their opinions on facts and data rather than pre-conceived notions? Leading into...
I thought that they believed in education because they claimed to believe in education. But I decided to really observe. What was their basis for this claim? Evolution. That's it. Nothing else. They never really mention other branches of science. They do not seem aware that other branches of science exist. Nope, solely Evolution is their cause du jour.
*I felt obligated to feel sympathy for single unwed mothers that had a couple kids out of wedlock.
I had tutored many very-low-class blacks and a few very-low-class whites at a tutoring center that was free to them. The females were very very young, yet still had at least one illegitimate kid born before her eighteenth birthday, and were living on government support. Because of liberalism, I felt obligated to feel proud of her that she is now turning her life around, is going to school. Ohhh pooh pooh cooing gently soothingly, poor you.
If she started complaining about her situation (which was self-inflicted in all honesty), I felt obligated to comfort her and sympathize. "How was she expected to study for these tough, tough remedial math courses if she had to take care of a baby that she had at sixteen?" Out of a civic duty not to offend her. I even went so far as to never ask any of those females if their husbands could pitch in and help. Hey, it's the new millennium, right? I can't just assume that anyone with a baby is automatically married. I felt obligated to never dare mention the word "husband." -BUT- at the *same* time I felt obligated to act indignant for them, "oh how could the unwed father just not be in his child's life or give you money?"
*I was massively, majorly pro- banning guns. More info later.

But as I said, now a series of perplexing news reports progressed in rapid sequence. It is an interesting viewpoint that I have gradually learned to form. I suppose one could consider me an apostate from the mass-media brainwashing cult that is liberalism.
