2014-03-14 Home Front: Culture Wars
The Closing of the Liberal Mind.
[Victory Girls blog] Recently the New Brunswick faculty council at Rutgers University protested having Condoleezza Rice as their commencement speaker. Fox News commentator, Juan Williams, described it as another example of the left's "hatred and bigotry against African-Americans who dare to challenge liberal orthodoxy." Fortunately, Rutgers University President, Robert Barchi, has a pair and refused to cave to the demands of the intolerant faculty council.

A similar experience happened last year when Dr. Ben Carson, a world famous Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon was scheduled to be the Commencement Speaker for Johns Hopkins University. Carson was forced to step down because liberals at the school were so outraged that Carson dared to criticize Obamacare and because he said he opposed gay marriage.

Juan Williams wrote:

I am not a conservative but I have spoken out for years against the staggering amount blind hatred directed at black conservatives by liberals.

Liberals are shockingly quick to demean and dismiss brilliant black people like Rice, Carson, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), Professor Walter E. Williams and economist Thomas Sowell because they don't fit into the role they have carved out for a black person in America.

Black Americans must be obedient liberals on all things or risk being called a race traitor or an Uncle Tom.
The truth can be refreshing.

#2 Oh, how can you slack lipped, drooling, fly-overs ever hope to understand the subtleties of our group-think uber mind.

#4 Again just as the socialists have pushed the big lie that Nazis were 'conservative', they have also stole the name 'liberal'. They are not liberals. They are common intolerant authoritarian socialists. For them, it's never been about principle or liberties, but power.

#5 Nazi's and most fascist groups are born in liberal political organizations. It all starts the same, "The ruling elite are keeping us down" Then they take power and allow themselves to be corrupted by it and consumed with power. Its really not socialism, although they like to wear the socialist cloth along with the liberal one, but behind the curtain its fascism being born, pure, hate filled, and unapologetic.

#6 Liberals want their slaves on the plantation except when needed to vote. They don't want those negroes getting uppity and thinking for themselves.
