Liberal denial is the tendency of liberals to conceal, deny or censor the truth for ideological reasons. A list of the top common instances of liberal denial are the following:
- liberals deny how they deify government officials, similar to how communists deified Stalin and Lenin and still deify Castro[1]
- liberals deny that they have censored prayer in public school[2]
- about half of promiscuous people carry sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and those STDs cause infertility[3]
- the strident promoters of evolution generally have weaker credentials than advocates of intelligent design[4]
- In denial that Hitler and the Nazi party were in fact Liberals (anti-Semitism is a well-documented characteristic of Liberal Christianity as is the PETA-like Green wing of the Third Reich[5])
More generally, liberals also deny:
- state run health care has lead to Islamic terrorism in Britain, and would do so in the US. [6]
- that liberals attempt to intimidate and ostracize conservatives, particularly in school environments and some occupations.[7]
- that girls and women in sports have debilitating ACL knee injuries at 3-4 times the rate of men,[8] and are vulnerable to other injuries[9]
- that the numerous premature deaths of Hollywood stars are the result of Hollywood values[10]
- that successful democracy, both historically and logically, is the result of Protestant Christianity[11]
- that liberal leaders engage in shocking wrongdoing, hypocrisy, and abuse of power[12]
- that ideas do matter, and can cause great harm, including liberal falsehoods
- that Islamic extremism is a threat to the Western civilization[13]

- "Female athletes, particularly basketball players, are far more likely than their male counterparts to suffer ACL [Anterior Cruciate Ligament] injuries." Stephen Hargis, "Girls have more torn ACLs," Chattanooga Times Free Press (Tennessee), D1 (Feb. 4, 2005). According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the risk of women tearing their ACL is 1 in 100. This number drops significantly to only 1 in 500 for men. See Nikki Usher, "Knee injury takes toll on girls playing soccer five times more likely than males to suffer a torn ACL," Philadelphia Inquirer, A01 (Nov. 29, 2004). "Compared with guys, female athletes run an eight-times-greater risk of tearing the ACL, a fibrous band that connects the shinbone (tibia) to the thighbone (femur). Basketball, soccer and other sports that require cutting moves or jump shots can put athletes at risk." Kathleen Fackelmann, "Girls face higher knee injury risk," USA Today, 15B (Aug. 24, 2004). Timothy Hewett, PhD, the lead researcher on a definitive study at the Sports Medicine Biodynamics Center at the University of Cincinnati, says this is "close to a billion-dollar problem in girls and women in the USA. ... Even after girls have recovered from the acute injury, the changes in the joint may set the stage for osteoarthritis of the knee ...." Id. That obvious suspicion was quickly confirmed: a study subsequently published in Arthritis & Rheumatism demonstrated that "more than half of ... 103 soccer players, who were ages 14 to 28 at the time of the ACL injury, suffered osteoarthritis of the knee at the time of the study -- about 12 years later." Kathleen Fackelmann, "Girls' knee injuries have later consequences," USA Today, 9D (Oct. 7, 2004). "Many of the women, who were about 31 by that time, also said they had pain or some other disability that made it hard to conduct daily activities." Id.
