After Orlando, Left Is Out of Excuses for Its False Prophets
Richard Fernandez




The Orlando gay club massacre has stirred up a hornet's nest because it challenges the most cherished assumptions of liberal politics -- and not just intellectually, but on a survival level.

The Left is often proven wrong. However, for so long as those defeats were cushioned by wealth and security, they were of an intellectual character that could be dismissed as a glitch.

For example, when Paul Erlich -- the celebrity prophet of overpopulation and resource scarcity -- lost his bet with business professor Julian L. Simon that the world would start running out of resources by 1990 and lost $10,000, his supporters could still argue that the liberal argument only needed some tweaking to be right. One could point to Venezuela as proof of the failure of socialism, but Venezuela was far away, and surely Bernie would do better than Hugo.

For a long time, being a false prophet had no real cost.

What's different about the issues involved in Orlando is that the stakes that night were not about the price of metals, but about the foundations of liberal social and foreign policy. The vast quantities of political capital and money wagered on multiculturalism, the benign nature of radical Islam, and the power of the state to provide physical security were irreplaceable.

In one night, they had a vision of those foundations turning to sand, and it has spooked them.

This was no academic wager they could laugh off. By losing this bet, liberals would stand to lose not only money but their actual lives.

ISIS has published a "kill list" of thousands of persons in U.S. cities. This time even liberals are wondering: what if it's real?

Liberals never admit mistakes. Because to be a liberal in the first place you have to have a tremendous inability to face reality.
Libs are hell bent on trying to prove nasty, right-wing Christians are going around killing non-Christians by the thousands in the name of Christ. The fact that that's not occurring or that people killing in the name of Christ are condemned by the 99% Christians does not faze them in the slightest.  They're like the people who are convinced all sports contests are rigged. You ask them for proof, and they just answer you can't prove they weren't rigged.
In short, there is no amount of proof that will convince them they're wrong about anything.
A short list of lib myths exposed as lies.....rape on college campi, hate crimes on college campi and elsewhere, Christians going around killing people in the name of Christ, socialism as a great economic theory (see Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea), and last but not least, peaceful Muslims who are provoked by evil, Christians into committing acts of violence.

That is a very good summary.

My only input is that Obama and the Global Left are sweating after Orlando. Their rhetorical facade is crumbling around them as more and more Muslims openly oppose, eschew, and ridicule, their 'oh so enlightened and politically correct' bullshit. A radical Muslim doesn't have one damn to give for anything Obama, the Liberal/Academic elites, or the Hollywood Left, have to say to characterize who they are or what they 'really' believe. They are going to continue killing regardless of how much money and benefits the Left bestows upon them, or how 'nice' the Left attempts to treat them. The Global Left simply cannot conceive of such an idea or they are unable to comprehend that none of their 'niceness' matters to fanatics.

Muslim fanatics have no desire or intention to integrate with the West. They will never come to accept the 'enlightened beneficence' of Liberal theology as being superior to their own 7th century beliefs. And, they do not now, and never have, made any secret of their intentions.

Obama and the Left are sweating because the closer the Muslims come to Western society the harder it becomes for the PC crowd to continue to mop up the bloody trail of slavery, rape, and murder, that they invariably leave everywhere they go, including now, in America.

Obama and the Left are at the beginning stage of considering the inconceivable. They are just at the very edge of thinking that maybe, there may actually be a real, very distant and remote possibility that the whole plan they have to "integrate/indoctrinate" the Muslim world may actually fail. And since Liberals are never, ever, ever, never, wrong about anything, obviously they have no 'plan B', except to hop on their private jets and hide in the South Pacific for a few years until the issue is resolved one way or another, just as they always wind up fleeing from the very countries in which they found a socialist government after everything falls apart, which it always does.

When Obama gave his 'anger speech' after the shooting, he wasn't angry at the shooter. He was not angry at Islam for the hate and violence they promote and carry out. He was not grieving for the victims. I don't think he gives a damn about all that. He was angry and embarrassed about being proven wrong, on a practical and philosophical level.

As with every single thing about Obama since he was introduced 8 years ago, the only things Obama really, truly, cares about on a deep and spiritual level, is himself, and somehow proving to the world that his own personal interpretation of Islam, what he calls 'true Islam', is the correct version of his religion, even if it is practiced nowhere on Earth and does not really exist anywhere, except in his own imagination.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

They lie to push the narrative and stay in power. What if Obama and the rest of the libs actually told the truth to their constituents i.e. they're responsible themselves for their sorry lives, the whole corrupt edifice would collapse. Conservatives must be demonized for the lib narrative to work. It can never be the fault of one of the libs' pet groups.
