The History of Conservatives
Freedom Fighter
female homo sapiens walked by, attracting the attention of a male. The male
stepped forward and smacked her over the head with his club. WHACK! He then
dragged the unconscious female into his cave for sex.
One day there were two males standing in front of a cave when a female
walked by. The first raised his arm to club the female, but the second male
communicated to him that clubbing females over the head to have sex was not
nice. WHACK! WHACK! The first male stepped over the unconscious second male
and proceeded to rape the female. On that day the first liberal paid the
price for expressing a new idea.
Things didn't change much for thousands of years until the advent of
projectile weapons. This was first symbolized by the David and Goliath story
in the Bible, where the big strong brute was laid flat by the small but
smarter boy. Once brute strength was no longer the controlling factor in
social interaction, liberal ideas slowly gained a foothold in human culture,
and civilization began.
Throughout human history, the price for advocating tolerance and progressive
change has been paid in threats, beatings, excommunication, incarceration,
torture, murder, assassination, and execution. Countless liberals have paid
the ultimate price for their humanity. Though Jesus Christ is the most
famous, names in recent history that come to mind are Gandhi, Martin Luther
King Jr., John Lennon, and Robert Kennedy.
Today there are many conservatives - individuals, groups, and nations - who
use threats and violence to silence the voices of reason, tolerance, and
progress. Here in America it is seen in racists and homophobes beating
blacks and gays, sometimes to death, not for money or out of anger generated
by interactive cause, but because of religious or racial intolerance and
secular bigotry.
Alan Berg on talk radio was a strong voice against a conservative
organization called the Aryan Nation. For thus exercising his freedom of
speech, he was shot dead while walking his dog in front of his house.
David Rice is a man on death row in Washington State who has no remorse
whatsoever for entering the home of a family of four and carving out their
living hearts only because he heard they were "liberals." He got their names
from a Democratic Party membership list.
Right-wingers Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols killed 168 men, women, and
children as an act of protest. What liberals have ever committed such an
abominable atrocity?
The most abominable atrocity in several decades is the 9/11 terrorist
attacks upon America. Thousands of innocent civilians were murdered. The
perpetrator, Osama Bin Laden and the al Qaeda-Taliban terrorists, epitomize
the right-wing religious fundamentalist mentality.
Arguing that such horrendous crimes are not political in nature or that they
are not done primarily by conservatives is utter nonsense. Look back:
Who nailed who to a cross?
Who were the Loyalists to the totalitarian monarchy of King George?
Who started our Civil War to defend slavery?
Who fought to keep women as property, and now fights their sovereignty over
their own bodies in the freedom to choose abortion?
Who fought against child labor statutes?
Who fought against the concept of free public education?
Who fought against the right of women to vote?
Who fought against anti-trust and anti-monopoly legislation?
Who fought against workers organizing?
Who fought against government controls on manufacturers of cars "unsafe at
any speed?"
Who killed several thousand innocent civilians in the 9/11 terrorist
attacks?
Who started WW2, murdered 13 million and caused the death of 40 million
more?
Who defended Jim Crow for a hundred years?
Who fought against voting rights, civil rights, social security, health care
for the elderly, and minimum wages?
Who fights against environmental protection statutes?
Who opposes equal rights for gays and other free-lifestyle minorities?
Who cruelly opposes physician-assisted dying for suffering, terminally ill
patients soon to die anyway?
Who is sabotaging the separation of Church and State, and all our other
Constitutional rights, freedoms, and protections?
Who are the moralizing hypocrites forcing their puritanical inhibitions and
prohibitions on ALL Americans via legislation and draconian, police-state
enforcement practices?
Who always puts personal gain and corporate wealth and power above the
common good?
CONSERVATIVES OR LIBERALS?
The historic, undeniable truth is that these evils are THE NATURE OF THE
CONSERVATIVE BEAST!
Conservatives have distorted and demonized the word "liberal," whose true
political meaning is favoring progressive change, humanistic values, and
opposition to authoritarianism. They identify it with governmental waste and
tolerance of criminality, when in fact they themselves are guilty of abuses
such as corporate welfare bail-outs and tax evasion, fraud against
investors, and other white-collar crime. Conservatives fear and oppose all
change and progress beyond "what's in it for me?"
At the core of conservatism is the Machiavellian bully - the despotic
practitioner of "might makes right," craving wealth and power, and willing
to use any and all means to get them. Conservatism is the philosophy of the
caveman wearing a business suit.
AND THE CAVEMENS' CLUBS CAN NOW DESTROY OUR EARTH!
