6 Basic Concepts Liberals Don't Get

John Green  |  3 Jan 2022

There's a famous saying often attributed to Edmund Burke: "If you are not a liberal at 25, you have no heart.  If you are not a conservative at 35 you have no brain."  Youth is attracted to liberalism because its ideals sound good — they really do.  You'd have to be some kind of monster not to want to save the planet, lift up the poor, correct past injustices, and share equally in Earth's bounty.

The problem with liberals is not their ideals; it's their actions — which never accomplish their intended purpose.  That's because liberals are emotional, rather than rational, animals.  They make decisions with their hormones, not their brains — just like children.  Try debating one, and you'll see.  I've tried.  It can't be done.  You'll be treated to an endless word salad of leftist talking points, followed by anger and a personal insult.  .  .  .

1. Science is never settled
2. Stimulus spending stimulates only government growth
3. Welfare spending doesn't cure poverty; it creates it
4. Racism cannot be eliminated with racism
5. Biological sex is not a choice God has granted us
6. Reality is not fungible
