To Mojo:

Your statement that, “… the facts are these: most liberals are opposed to wars, injustice towards minorities, and they care for the well being of ALL citizens of the US as well as the whole world…” belies my life experiences.

For example, in the 1960’s and 70’s I watched liberals systematically destroy an entire industry and way of life when they decided that cutting timber in Northern California for use by their fellow Americans was somehow harming the planet. This despite the fact that timber is a renewable resource. These liberals, mostly interlopers from the big cities to the south, invaded the northstate and took a thriving economy that once housed and fed five generations of proud, self-reliant Americans and turned it into an economic wasteland where the sons and daughters of lumberjacks now must either subsist on the sale of trinkets and services to tourists; or leave to find employment in the big cities they detest. Today, the mill-towns and villages of the north state no longer throb with the life of hard-working Americans. Today they wear the sad, pathetic look of ghost towns to be.

Meanwhile the great Northern California forest that for generations served as the self-sustaining backbone of the regional economy and was once scientifically managed for both maximum timber production and wildlife enhancement has all but been abandoned and degenerates into an overgrown, overcrowded massive fuel dump capable of supporting only a fraction of the wildlife it once housed as it awaits the next massive, inevitable, wildfire.

Having had their way with the timber industry, these same liberals, who “care for the well-being of ALL citizens of the US…” (and who actually think of themselves as “environmentalists”) , next turned their loving attention to the Great Central Valley of California – once the richest, most productive ag land in the world. Our liberal friends decided that the Valley’s farmers were using too much water. Seems that during dry spells, which are a routine part of California’s natural cycle, the Delta Smelt, a four-inch long fish of little distinction were having difficulties when the rivers feeding the delta run low. “Something has to be done!” the self-appointed stewards of the planet shouted. Pay no attention to the fact that the smelt and all other creatures native to California evolved to handle the natural ebb and flow of the state’s annual rain cycle. Something has to be done! We must make a choice! Its people or the smelt! Our liberal friends had no trouble choosing between the fish and the people. They chose the fish. Using every legal trick in the books, our liberal friends began shutting off the tap to the farmers of the Great Valley who are slowly but steadily going out of business. And the folks who work for them – many of them the very same minorities that Mojo and his friends are so compassionate about — are following in their tracks. Unemployment in the valley is now at Great Depression levels of 20 to 25%. Despite this massive transformation of the state’s economy, there has been precious little reported in the Dinosaur media. Such stories just don’t interest our liberal media corps. Hey they’re just farmers and loggers. Not like their real people, you know.

When one points out to liberals, as I have done repeatedly , that their actions have brought massive, bitter suffering to people, many of whom don’t have the options liberals have to just pick up and move on to “greener pastures”, one cannot help but be shocked by the complete, utter lack of empathy for these victims of liberalism’s all consuming compassion.

So please, Mojo, save us the phony tears for your fellow man. The fact is that given a choice between people and their latest ideological cause, Liberals can be counted upon to pick the cause of liberalism almost every time.
