So after a long bout of mocking Mitt Romney for saying that he sought out binders full of qualified female appointees, complete with protesters outside one of his campaign offices dressed in binders, the appointed hour came and the new cabinet of the man who was too good for binders of women was white and male.

There was some awkward fidgeting in the media. A few suggestions that maybe there should be a little more diversity. And that was followed by the new official talking point that diversity doesn't matter, it's all about the impact of the policies. Suddenly the Party of Affirmative Action began making conservative arguments for merit and representation, over racial preferences.

To some this was proof that liberals don't really believe in anything. And that's true and it isn't.

Wow. This hits the nail squarely on the head...

Bill Clinton could act out the bad part in every sensitivity training video. Obama can pay women less. Harry Reid and Hillary Clinton can make racist jokes. Obama can govern through Executive Orders and start illegal wars. So can any Democrat. None of that matters because they're all plays in the big program. And the "Big Program" means a new world with good stuff for all. Accomplishing it means ignoring the little sins that would lead to any little person being lynched, jailed or denounced.

Liberals are busy lining up to defend Chuck Hagel, a former Republican who hated homosexuals, opposed abortion and on most issues, aside from foreign policy, was fairly conservative. But that doesn't matter because Hagel is now on Team Prog. Local interest groups may object, but the liberal purpose in having Jewish or Gay or Female auxiliaries is so that they can support the larger program. When they don't support it, they're told to shut the hell up.

Conservatives can be more diverse than Liberals, but that won't score them any points because it's not really about diversity. They can be more Feminist or more Gay-friendly or more environmentalist. And they will only be mocked for it. Because liberalism isn't about any of these things, it's about the package deal. The only way to out-liberal a liberal is not on any single value that he claims to profess, but on every single one of them. And at that point you become a liberal.

The left does not have any fixed values. It only has values of convenience. A conservative politician who has an affair is derided for breaking with a concrete moral code. But no such moral code is there for the opposite side. Not on any issue.


This has been a source of deep and escalating frustration for me for decades. Greenfield articulates precisely the frustration we feel at the abject, amoral hypocrisy of the left.

btw, I LOVE this photo of Cheney and part of the Bush team after 9/11. Bush was non-racist, non-sexist, results oriented, and he was incessantly pilloried by the racist, sexist enemy.

It still steams me.

"Modern American Liberalism is the movement of a wealthy white upper class meant to suppress the working class and the mercantile class. Think of it as the revenge of the barons against the merchants and the wrath of the old New England elites against the Nouveau Riche. It adopted the Jewish and Catholic immigrants who accepted its values and codes. It even occasionally brings in more exotic figures, like Barack Obama, so long as they have gone to the right schools and share their values.

Liberals champion multiculturalism, they enact diversity requirements and push through immigration, and then they send their children to private schools and buy houses in white neighborhoods. They are mostly unaware that they are doing this. They're just doing what comes naturally. Like most people, liberals are most comfortable among their own kind.

Their kind is not so much a racial group, as it is a cultural one. "

Reminds me of "Differences between Bushes, Clintons, and Obamas are of degree, not kind. . . . Never has there been so little diversity within America's upper crust "

There is a HUGE difference between the Bushes and the Clintons and Obamas. The difference can hardly even be measured it is so vast.

The thing that bewilders me is not that the left follows Alinsky rules to the letter, but that so many of the American people don't call them on it, or even notice.

Do people not care that the Obama administration screams about racism among conservatism but that the Obama administration is white and male?
Do people not care that Clinton and Kennedy (among others) are lecherous and amoral, but that the Republicans lost the 2006 election largely because Mark Foley made the headlines daily because of dirty e-mails?
Do people not care that there were no scandals in the Bush administration, and there have been many already in the Obama administration (even more than the vile Clinton administration) while Obama claims the high ground on everything?

I suppose I need to stop trying to figure it out, but why do so few people see this blatant hypocrisy?

Because in their minds there is no morality and the ends justify the means. Moving the machine forward is all that matters to them. They only care about themselves and their agenda. They do not respect anyone else. They are incapable of caring for anyone else.

I understand that about the people in the machine, but what about all the people in the country who just don't care that Clinton is a filthy, deceitful, creepy man, or that Obama is an arrogant, incessant liar?

The 'leaders' of the left obtain wealth and power with the agenda. The American people, forgive the expression, just get screwed.

Why don't they care about the abject hypocrisy of leftist leaders? Why do so many accept it? (At least 51%, judging from the last election.....)

Not as much as one would like to believe.

The Bushes, like the Clintons and Obamas are all NWO globalists who have slowly and insidiously enlarged federal government and promoted policies that facilitate moving the US into global governance. The Bushes enabled and set the stage for the Clintons and Obama.

without spending a lot of time, Bush II:

I believe Musiclady was using some of the finest sarcasm I have seen in a while here when she wrote that.

This is a major trait shared with the Jihadis. It is why collectivists of all ilk can band together at least temporarily to advance the destruction of their common enemy
