Being (Capital L) Liberal in One Easy Lesson
Radley Balko offers up a sampling of anti-Wal-Mart cant from some comments section somewhre that can only be decribed as...well, it can be described in alot of ways come to think of it...but basically it is an instruction manual on how to be capital L Liberal in America today.
1) Always remember, you know better than others.
"First you have to agree on what "stuff" we should all have."
Got that? What we can have needs to be agreed upon by our betters who don't know the first thing about us.
2) Wealth is bad, so repel all consideration that wealth can be used for good:
"Dear Walton Family, and all other private citizens with a net worth over 1 billion US dollars, "How much is enough?"
They said the same about Rockefeller, but thanks to the 'disgusting' amount of wealth that he accumulated, America has the following institutions (among others):
- The University of Chicago
- Rockefeller University (a leading scientific research institution)
- Spelman College (an historically black women's college)
- The Metropolitan Museum of Art
- Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts
It is a joke to suggest that these institutions would exist without the Rockefeller fortune. Are the wealth-haters suggesting that America would be better off without these institutions?
3) Those that agree with us are enlightened, those that disagree are dangerous:
"The Walton family is not just an economic power house. They are political and social activists who fund groups who want to fundamentally change this country. Check out their position on public education.
Ah, two words. George. Soros. Clearly, being wealthy and powerful is only acceptable if you have the right positions.
OK class, that is it for our first lesson. Next week we will explore the critical principles of killing people to make the world better and go into more depth on why the majority of humankind is, and always has been, stupid and should listen to us. (Hint...religion.)
