Leftism Is Not Liberalism
By Dennis Prager

What is the difference between a l*****t and a liberal?
Answering this question is vital to understanding the crisis facing America and the West today. Yet few seem able to do it. I offer the following as a guide.
Here's the first thing to know: The two have almost nothing in common.
On the contrary, liberalism has far more in common with conservatism than it does with leftism. The left has appropriated the word "liberal" so effectively that almost everyone -- liberals, l*****ts and conservatives -- thinks they are synonymous.

But they aren't. Let's look at some important examples.

Race: This is perhaps the most obvious of the many moral differences between liberalism and leftism. The essence of the liberal position on race was that the color of one's skin is insignificant. To liberals of a generation ago, only r****ts believed that race is intrinsically significant. However, to the left, the notion that race is insignificant is itself r****t. Thus, the University of California officially regards the statement "There is only one race, the human race" as r****t. For that reason, liberals were passionately committed to racial integration. Liberals should be sickened by the existence of black dormitories and separate black graduations on university campuses.

Capitalism: Liberals have always been pro capitalism, recognizing it for what it is: the only economic means of lifting great numbers out of poverty. Liberals did often view government as able to play a bigger role in lifting people out of poverty than conservatives, but they were never opposed to capitalism, and they were never for socialism. Opposition to capitalism and advocacy of socialism are l*****t values.


Nationalism: Liberals deeply believed in the nation-state, whether their nation was the United States, Great Britain or France. The left has always opposed nationalism because leftism is rooted in class solidarity, not national solidarity. The left has contempt for nationalism, seeing in it intellectual and moral primitivism at best, and the road to f*****m at worst. Liberals always wanted to protect American sovereignty and borders. The notion of open borders would have struck a liberal as just as objectionable as it does a conservative. It is emblematic of our time that the left-wing writers of Superman comics had Superman announce a few years ago, "I intend to speak before the United Nations tomorrow and inform them that I am renouncing my American citizenship." When the writers of Superman were liberal, Superman was not only an American but one who fought for "T***h, justice, and the American way." But in his announcement, he explained that motto is "not enough anymore."

View of America: Liberals venerated America. Watch American films from the 1930s through the 1950s and you will be watching overtly patriotic, America-celebrating films -- virtually all produced, directed and acted in by liberals. Liberals well understand that America is imperfect, but they agree with a liberal icon named Abraham Lincoln that America is "the last best hope of earth."

To the left, America is essentially a r****t, sexist, violent, h********c, xenophobic and Islamophobic country. The left around the world loathe America, and it is hard to imagine why the American left would differ in this one way from fellow l*****ts around the world. L*****ts often take offense at having their love of America doubted. But those left-wing descriptions of America are not the only reason to assume that the left has more contempt than love for America. The left's view of America was encapsulated in then-p**********l candidate Barack Obama's statement in 2008. "We are five days away from fundamentally t***sforming the United States of America," he said.
Now, if you were to meet a man who said that he wanted to fundamentally t***sform his wife, or a woman who said that about her husband, would you assume that either loved their spouse? Of course not.

Free speech: The difference between the left and liberals regarding free speech is as dramatic as the difference regarding race. No one was more committed than American liberals to the famous statement "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

Liberals still are. But the left is leading the first nationwide suppression of free speech in American history -- from the universities to Google to almost every other institution and place of work. It claims to only oppose h**e speech. But protecting the right of person A to say what person B deems objectionable is the entire point of free speech.

Western civilization: Liberals have a deep love of Western civilization. They taught it at virtually every university and celebrated its unique moral, ethical, philosophical, artistic, musical and literary achievements. No liberal would have joined the l*****t Rev. Jesse Jackson in chanting at Stanford University: "Hey, hey. Ho, ho. Western civ has got to go." The most revered liberal in American history is probably former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who frequently cited the need to protect not just Western civilization but Christian civilization. Yet l*****ts unanimously denounced President Donald Trump for his speech in Warsaw, Poland, in which he spoke of protecting Western civilization. They argued not only that Western civilization is not superior to any other civilization but also that it is no more than a euphemism for w***e s*******y.

Judaism and Christianity: Liberals knew and appreciated the Judeo-Christian roots of American civilization. They themselves went to church or synagogue, or at the very least appreciated that most of their fellow Americans did. The contempt that the left has -- and has always had -- for religion (except for Islam today) is not something with which a liberal would ever have identified.

If the left is not defeated, American and Western civilization will not survive. But the left will not be defeated until good liberals understand this and join the fight. Dear liberals: Conservatives are not your enemy. The left is.

If the left does not succeed in 2020 we will have an executive branch that will not respect the rule of law. And at this time this country will be run by a dictator.

Trump says 100% exonerated only a fool would believe that Russia did not hack our e******n in favor of Trump, only a fool would believe that Jared Kushner is not c*********d by the Saudis, only a fool would believe that the Trump campaign did not assist the Russians, only a fool would believe that Trump did not obstruct the FBI, DOJ and Special Council investigation into Russian hacking, only a fool would think the entire intel community and intelligence around the world that Russia are wrong and Trump stood with Putin, only a fool would believe that Trump was 100% cooperative with the investigation by defying subpoenas, only a fool would believe that Trump was not negotiating a new tower in Moscow, only a fool would believe that Trump did not pay campaign funds as hush money to keep a porn star quiet, only a fool would believe that Trump is not hiding something by refusing to release his tax returns, and the full Muellar report after telling the American people he would release.

Only a fool would believe that Trump is not a dictator when he totally ignores the rule of law. He fires Administration officials that try to advise him, he refuses to allow any of his cabinet members to testify before congress who are responsible for oversight of the executive branch, refuse to turn over documents requested by Congress, ignores the rule of law with subpoenas.

And last he refuses to listen to our intelligence community on anything they report.

Only a fool would believe Trump when he said North Korea has stopped advancing there Nuke program.

Trump doesn’t understand that our government was formed with 3 co-equal branches of government (HOUSE) ( SENATE) (Executive) with Congress having the responsibility of Executive branch oversight to prevent this country from Dictatorship.

But Trump defies our laws our Constitution and controls his base with lies and misinformation. It’s hard to control Trump because number 1 he does not care and when the DOJ told him that a sitting president cannot be indicted under any circumstances it was like handing him the key to do what ever he wants. Our laws mean nothing to Trump.

If Trump continues in the Presidency this country will be controlled by a dictator and the corporate elite but only a fool would continue to support him

Just ignore anything negative about Trump. We have v**ers in this country that just ignore the facts that we have a president that believes he can do anything he wants because the DOJ controlled by Trump has ruled they cannot indict a sitting president for anything.

And that’s like handing billions of dollars to the Trump crime family. Defying subpoenas, not allowing cabinet secretary’s to testify before Congress, firing anybody that defies Trump, the continued flow of lies and misinformation it makes no difference to Trump supporters it’s like they want to live under a dictator.

We aren’t ignoring facts, we are ignoring and ridiculing the l*****t’s insane interpretations. Yuge difference that obviously goes right over your head.

Sometimes we just don’t feel like taking the bait of fools, or are just plain tired of it. In this case, almost $30 million and 2 years of such foolishness.

Leftism Is Not Liberalism
By Dennis Prager

What is the difference between a l*****t and a liberal?
Answering this question is vital to understanding the crisis facing America and the West today. Yet few seem able to do it. I offer the following as a guide.
Here's the first thing to know: The two have almost nothing in common.
On the contrary, liberalism has far more in common with conservatism than it does with leftism. The left has appropriated the word "liberal" so effectively that almost everyone -- liberals, l*****ts and conservatives -- thinks they are synonymous.

But they aren't. Let's look at some important examples.

Race: This is perhaps the most obvious of the many moral differences between liberalism and leftism. The essence of the liberal position on race was that the color of one's skin is insignificant. To liberals of a generation ago, only r****ts believed that race is intrinsically significant. However, to the left, the notion that race is insignificant is itself r****t. Thus, the University of California officially regards the statement "There is only one race, the human race" as r****t. For that reason, liberals were passionately committed to racial integration. Liberals should be sickened by the existence of black dormitories and separate black graduations on university campuses.

Capitalism: Liberals have always been pro capitalism, recognizing it for what it is: the only economic means of lifting great numbers out of poverty. Liberals did often view government as able to play a bigger role in lifting people out of poverty than conservatives, but they were never opposed to capitalism, and they were never for socialism. Opposition to capitalism and advocacy of socialism are l*****t values.


Nationalism: Liberals deeply believed in the nation-state, whether their nation was the United States, Great Britain or France. The left has always opposed nationalism because leftism is rooted in class solidarity, not national solidarity. The left has contempt for nationalism, seeing in it intellectual and moral primitivism at best, and the road to f*****m at worst. Liberals always wanted to protect American sovereignty and borders. The notion of open borders would have struck a liberal as just as objectionable as it does a conservative. It is emblematic of our time that the left-wing writers of Superman comics had Superman announce a few years ago, "I intend to speak before the United Nations tomorrow and inform them that I am renouncing my American citizenship." When the writers of Superman were liberal, Superman was not only an American but one who fought for "T***h, justice, and the American way." But in his announcement, he explained that motto is "not enough anymore."

View of America: Liberals venerated America. Watch American films from the 1930s through the 1950s and you will be watching overtly patriotic, America-celebrating films -- virtually all produced, directed and acted in by liberals. Liberals well understand that America is imperfect, but they agree with a liberal icon named Abraham Lincoln that America is "the last best hope of earth."

To the left, America is essentially a r****t, sexist, violent, h********c, xenophobic and Islamophobic country. The left around the world loathe America, and it is hard to imagine why the American left would differ in this one way from fellow l*****ts around the world. L*****ts often take offense at having their love of America doubted. But those left-wing descriptions of America are not the only reason to assume that the left has more contempt than love for America. The left's view of America was encapsulated in then-p**********l candidate Barack Obama's statement in 2008. "We are five days away from fundamentally t***sforming the United States of America," he said.
Now, if you were to meet a man who said that he wanted to fundamentally t***sform his wife, or a woman who said that about her husband, would you assume that either loved their spouse? Of course not.

It claims to only oppose h**e speech. But protecting the right of person A to say what person B deems objectionable is the entire point of free speech.

Western civilization: Liberals have a deep love of Western civilization. They taught it at virtually every university and celebrated its unique moral, ethical, philosophical, artistic, musical and literary achievements. No liberal would have joined the l*****t Rev. Jesse Jackson in chanting at Stanford University: "Hey, hey. Ho, ho. Western civ has got to go." The most revered liberal in American history is probably former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who frequently cited the need to protect not just Western civilization but Christian civilization. Yet l*****ts unanimously denounced President Donald Trump for his speech in Warsaw, Poland, in which he spoke of protecting Western civilization.

The contempt that the left has -- and has always had -- for religion (except for Islam today) is not something with which a liberal would ever have identified.

If the left is not defeated, American and Western civilization will not survive. But the left will not be defeated until good liberals understand this and join the fight. Dear liberals: Conservatives are not your enemy. The left is.

Typical Trump supporter ignore the facts and live in the Trump bubble or Obstruction and ignorance to our laws. Good luck America when you have v**ers that think like Liberty Tree just totally ignore anything negative about the Trump Crime family.


Trump aside, do you really believe the democrats are being run by liberals? I don’t. No way. You think the great democrats of old would buy into their garbage? Not a chance. This country needs liberalism. The democrats have moved away from it.

We also need conservatism. Not neo conservatism or the alt right.

Trump says 100% exonerated only a fool would believe that Russia did not hack our e******n in favor of Trump, only a fool would believe that Jared Kushner is not c*********d by the Saudis, only a fool would believe that the Trump campaign did not assist the Russians, only a fool would believe that Trump did not obstruct the FBI, DOJ and Special Council investigation into Russian hacking, only a fool would think the entire intel community and intelligence around the world that Russia are wrong and Trump stood with Putin, only a fool would believe that Trump was 100% cooperative with the investigation by defying subpoenas, only a fool would believe that Trump was not negotiating a new tower in Moscow, only a fool would believe that Trump did not pay campaign funds as hush money to keep a porn star quiet, only a fool would believe that Trump is not hiding something by refusing to release his tax returns, and the full Muellar report after telling the American people he would release.

Only a fool would believe that Trump is not a dictator when he totally ignores the rule of law. He fires Administration officials that try to advise him, he refuses to allow any of his cabinet members to testify before congress who are responsible for oversight of the executive branch, refuse to turn over documents requested by Congress, ignores the rule of law with subpoenas.

And last he refuses to listen to our intelligence community on anything they report.

Only a fool would believe Trump when he said North Korea has stopped advancing there Nuke program.

Trump doesn’t understand that our government was formed with 3 co-equal branches of government (HOUSE) ( SENATE) (Executive) with Congress having the responsibility of Executive branch oversight to prevent this country from Dictatorship.

But Trump defies our laws our Constitution and controls his base with lies and misinformation. It’s hard to control Trump because number 1 he does not care and when the DOJ told him that a sitting president cannot be indicted under any circumstances it was like handing him the key to do what ever he wants. Our laws mean nothing to Trump.

If Trump continues in the Presidency this country will be controlled by a dictator and the corporate elite but only a fool would continue to support him
If the left does not succeed in 2020 we will have ... (show quote)


You just proved Mr. Prager is correct.
