| − | '''Liberal denial''' is the tendency of [[liberals]] to conceal, [[denial|deny]], or [[Censorship|censor]] the facts for ideological reasons. The root cause of liberal denial is a desire to marginalize and exclude religion, especially [[Christianity]], from society. Liberal denial promotes a secularized, politically liberal one-world [[government]], as well as illogical denial of the [[Bible|Biblical]] [[God]] and [[Jesus]].
| |
| | | | |
| − | First [[liberal denial]] requires denying [[Christ]], then [[God]], then the greatness of accomplishments by those inspired by Christ, then the superiority of political systems based on [[Christianity]], and so on, reaching underachievement and selfishness.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A list of examples of '''liberal denial''' are the following:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | # The [[liberal media]] typically react to a mass murder with a flood of stories denying that there any warning signs or addiction to drugs or violent [[video game]]s by the perpetrator, and the truth can only leak out through [[conservative]] news or [[British]] newspapers.
| |
| − | # Liberals continue to deny that [[Donald Trump]] legitimately defeated [[Hillary Clinton]] for president in 2016, and earlier that [[George W. Bush]] defeated [[Al Gore]] for president in 2000 (e.g., Joe Biden denied it in remarks on June 12, 2013; Al Gore himself denied it in remarks on August 4, 2017).<ref>https://www.bostonherald.com/2018/06/11/liberals-blind-to-donald-trumps-wins/</ref>
| |
| − | # Liberals deny that vaccines cause severe, even deadly, side effects despite how warnings on package inserts which parents rarely see admit to that fact.
| |
| − | # [[European migrant crisis|Mass immigration to Europe from the Middle East]] has brought an increased threat and the greater occurrence of [[terrorism]]. Yet European leaders deny the threat of [[Islam]]ic terrorism, and terrorist attacks have shown how poorly prepared and secured their countries and facilities are.<ref name="Denial">Scarborough, Rowan (May 23, 2017).

Retrieved May 24, 2017.</ref> When attacks occur, the leaders often state that they "are a part of daily life", and they refuse to admit that the motive of the terrorists is Islamic radicalism.<ref name="Denial"/> This is likely due to [[political correctness]] and the blindness that comes with liberalism and their pet goal for a utopian [[one-world government]] where nations and borders are abolished.
| |
| − | # Lies about a false armed robbery were spread by the [[liberal media]] in smearing the gracious host of the [[2016 Summer Olympics]], and yet [[liberals]] did not fully correct and apologize for the lies even after [[Brazil]]ians worked hard to uncover the truth.
| |
| − | # [[Terrorism]] was not mentioned once during the entire first day of the [[Democratic National Convention]] in 2016, while increasing numbers of widely reported terrorism occurred in Florida, France, and elsewhere.
| |
| − | # [[Obama]] refused to mention ISIS, radical Islam, or Islamic extremism in his comments on the worst attack since [[9/11]]—a mass murder committed by an admitted supporter of ISIS in a Florida gay nightclub in June 2016.
| |
| − | # Liberals deny that the much-publicized "proof" of the [[general theory of relativity]] in 1919 was, in fact, scientific misconduct by [[Arthur Eddington]] who "cherry-picked"<ref>https://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-brooks/scientists-behaving-badly_b_1448729.html</ref> his data to reach his desired result, which would have him expelled from any Ph.

| |
| − | # Liberals deny that violent [[video games]] incite and train [[young mass murderers]] to go on unspeakable killing rampages.

| − | # Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the mass murderer who perpetrated the [[Boston Marathon]] bombing, likely committed a gruesome triple murder in 2011 on the 10th anniversary of [[9/11]], but liberals refuse to admit it, and the U.S. government insists the investigation is still ongoing.

| − | # Liberals deny that some disciples likely wrote down teachings of Jesus while he was living, as a means to deny Jesus's words. (Ironically, liberal theologians then use those same "red letter" words to make the claim that, since Jesus never mentioned homosexuality anywhere in them, all other Biblical condemnation of the topic can be ignored - while those same theologians choose to ignore that the words of Jesus are also the words of God and that Jesus, in pointing out that the only acceptable sexual relations are that of one man and one woman in marital union, ''did'' in fact condemn homosexuality.)

| − | == General Denial ==
| |
| − | Generally, liberals deny that:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Abortion'''
| |
| − | # Choosing [[abortion]] over childbirth increases the risk of [[breast cancer]].
| |
| − | # They support taxpayer-funded [[abortion]].
| |
| − | # A child in a mother's womb has rights established by the [[Constitution]].
| |
| − | # A person is not insane for disagreeing with abortion and homosexuality.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Atheism'''
| |
| − | # People like [[young mass murderers]] who take [[atheistic]] beliefs to their logical conclusions are not delusional but are true believers.
| |
| − | # [[Young mass murderers]] fit the profile of [[public school]]-trained [[atheism]].
| |
| − | # Atheism is a nontheistic religion, not an absence of religion.
| |
| − | # Atheists were and still are responsible for the deaths of millions of people through the decades. Nevertheless, liberals resort to [[moral equivalence]] by falsely making the same claims about [[Christianity]], ridiculously exaggerating the numbers of people murdered by those claiming to be Christian while conveniently ignoring that Christian teachings forbid murder.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Crime'''
| |
| − | # [[Gun control]] motivates people to commit more gun-related [[crime]]s.
| |
| − | # Illegal immigrants contribute to crime and poverty in the towns and cities they occupy.
| |
| − | # Legalizing drugs will increase crime because drug addiction causes thievery and murder.
| |
| − | # A [[border wall]] is the most effective and, ultimately, the most peaceful way to protect the large southern border separating the U.S. and Mexico from illegal immigrants.
| |
| − | # Aggressive interrogation is often the best way to obtain answers from [[terrorists]].
| |
| − | # Socially dangerous people exhibit a well-documented pattern of reading habits.

| |
| − | # Privately run [[transport]] is more efficient than government-run transport.
| |
| − | # [[Labor union|union]]s interfere with [[employment]] opportunities.
| |
| − | # Free trade strengthens global democracies.
| |
| − | # Americans can drill oil to avoid high gas prices.
| |
| − | # Americans can't fully replace oil with green technologies; both oil and green technologies are needed to solve energy crises.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Education'''
| |
| − | # [[Homeschoolers]] are more likely to succeed than those who attend [[public school]].
| |
| − | # A school having few to no [[conservative]] teachers and a majority of [[atheists]] and/or [[liberals]] is a [[liberal]] school.
| |
| − | # [[Liberals]] attempt to intimidate and ostracize [[conservatives]], particularly in school environments and some occupations.<ref>See [[liberals and friendship]].</ref>
| |
| − | # The [[liberal]] ideology is pushed on unsuspecting others, particularly young people.
| |
| − | # [[Lawrence Summers]] was fired as President of [[Harvard]] for making a [[political correctness|politically incorrect]] suggestion about women and mathematical aptitude.
| |
| − | # [[Public Schools]] are breeding grounds for indoctrination and are a waste of taxpayers money.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Environment'''
| |
| − | # Modern technology can make [[coal]] clean.
| |
| − | # Modern drilling methods result in minimal environmental impact, even if they were implemented in uninhabited lands such as the [[Arctic National Wildlife Refuge]].
| |
| − | # [[Global Warming|Human-caused climate change]] is [[junk science]].
| |
| − | # Companies like [[Exxon]] should pay billions of dollars in damages to the general public ''in addition'' to the money they spend to clean up industrial accidents and to recompense those directly affected.
| |
| − | # [[Selective logging]] keeps forests healthier by reducing the risk of wildfire.
| |
| − | # High food prices are not caused by [[ethanol]] production but rather by the million acres of cropland and pastureland that have been taken out of production in the interest of wildlife conservation.
| |
| − | # The life of a human is more important than the life of an animal or plant.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Health and medicine'''
| |
| − | # [[Socialized medicine|State run health care]] has lead to Islamic terrorism in Britain and would do so in the US.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMu6wCqdeyQ ''FOX News analyzes the new terror in state healthcare.''</ref>
| |
| − | # Obesity is a bigger problem than hunger in the Western world.
| |
| − | # Eating [[meat]] and [[dairy]] is important for physical and mental health.
| |
| − | # Using [[marijuana]] or other mind- or mood-altering drugs has lasting negative psychological effects.
| |
| − | # [[Universal health care]] is inferior medical care and will lead to crowding in hospitals.
| |
| − | # Girls and women in sports have debilitating ACL knee injuries at 3-4 times the rate of men,<ref>''Compare'' [http://www.universityhealthmatters.com/article.php?artid=50] (with an explanation of why there is a big difference) ''with'' [https://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/18/health/18knee.html?ex=1204088400&en=3a5abfaa6104ac63&ei=5070&emc=eta1 New York Times] (downplaying the difference and pretending that no one knows why). The New York Times denies overwhelming evidence, including the following:

| − | :"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.''</ref> and are vulnerable to other injuries<ref>"Amber Scull ruptured her spleen after she was tackled during a practice drill at Nature Coast Tech in Brooksville 2 1/2 months ago.

| − | Often, [[liberal]]s refuse to admit that they are [[liberal]]s in the hope of appearing more "reasonable". [[Hillary Clinton]] refused to admit in a presidential debate in 2007 that she is a [[liberal]]. Similarly, [[Michael Dukakis]] refused for a while to admit that he was a [[liberal]] during the 1988 presidential campaign. Only out of desperation did Dukakis admit that he was a [[liberal]], and even then, he admitted only that was a liberal like President [[Harry Truman]], who served 40 years earlier.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Liberals like to bash President George W. Bush as a war monger and cite [[President Bill Clinton]] for his eight years of peace and prosperity. Liberals will deny record low unemployment, more people owning their homes, and President Bush going after [[terrorists]] while protecting Americans from further attacks. Liberals will selectively forget that during Clinton's term, the [[Rwanda]] massacre, the bombing of the USS Cole, the war in the [[Balkans]], the two US embassies bombed in [[Africa]], the Kobar tower bombing in Saudi Arabia, the [[Somalia]] conflict, the missile strike against [[Afghanistan]], and the bombing campaign against Iraq all occurred. Moreover, [[liberals]] deny that Clinton's economic policy ignored a series of high-profile companies that eventually collapsed due to fraud: Enron, Tyco, Worldcom and Qwest.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | As part of their denial, liberals often use the word "denial" pejoratively against conservatives. Alleging that conservatives are "[[racist]]" and "reject [[science]]", they use terms like "[[global warming]] deniers" and "[[climate change]] deniers" in an attempt to link conservative viewpoints with [[Holocaust denial]], [[Nazism]], [[conspiracy theory|conspiracy theories]], and [[pseudoscience]].
