The Real Reason Liberals are Soft on Terror, Part 2

The Real Reason Liberals are Soft on Terror, Part 2

Liberals are soft on terror because they believe that arguing from emotion is legitimate. Arguments from emotion require neither logic, nor common sense, nor an intuitive recognition, nor proofs, nor deduction, nor Induction Bombs- they require only that one party feels really strongly about something.

An example of an issue that exists only because liberals believe arguing from emotion is legitimate is slave reparations. (I’m not going to explain why slave reparations make no sense. Take some time and look into the details and you’ll know why quite quickly.) The fact that liberal controlled colleges restrict free speech if it hurts people’s feelings is a result of liberal respect for arguments from emotion. The libs fascination with Marxism is another result. The idea that charity can be coerced is yet another. Modern liberal thought is so rife with arguments from emotion and the results of arguing from emotion, direct (as in bilingual education) and indirect (as in losing the Federal government because their ideas make no sense) that modern libs CANNOT BE UNDERSTOOD without understanding how ingrained arguing from emotion is for them.

Given this, how can liberals be expected to combat Islamist terrorists? Who feels more strongly about anything than a woman who will strap her 14 year-old son up with dynamite so he can murder himself and other innocents? Nobody. Who whines, screeches, begs, and/or threatens more than Islamists? Nobody. The fact that this woman has been brainwashed into believing a bunch of crap does not matter. She feels strongly about it. The fact that her son is going to kill babies does not matter. She feels strongly about it.

Now I don’t think liberals support her for murdering her son, and a bunch of other people’s sons. But a liberal will bring up Israel’s retaliating to terrorist attacks as if that is relevant. Why? Because the wife of a murdering bastard cries, when she is widowed, just as much as the widow of a good man. To liberals their pain is equal- and their pain is equally legitimate, and therefore the retaliation was as despicable as the act that precipitated it. And if this widow murders her son and other’s sons to avenge her husband’s death… well, it was all a part of the cycle of violence.

What makes matters worse is the Islamists cynical manipulation of a liberal media which is all too willing to be used. Arafat the fascist, the terrorist, the embezzler, won a Nobel Peace Prize. Such a thing would be impossible without a media that is easily manipulated by Islamists. Nobody argues from emotion as well as Islamists, and nobody respects arguments from emotion as much as Western liberals. Liberals will always be soft on Islamists. They cannot be trusted to fight them.

    Diamond u can use "Induction Bomb" all u like. And yeah, LGF probably is the Islamists are Dangerous MOIBs, lol.

    Re: the emotion comment. Appealing to emotion is not what I mean. Let's say two grand-kids want Grandma's last apple. One kid gives, as his reason- "I should get the apple because I mow your lawn every weekend for free."
    The other kid says "I really want it! I want it! I'll cry if I don't get it!"

    The first argument employs reciprocation: the idea that people should return favors. The second argument is an argument from emotion. The second kid feels like the depth of his feeling is a legitimate argument. Of course it is obviously a ridiculous argument in the above example, but it is also ridiculous when it comes to the Palestinian 'right to return' or slave reparations, or any number of other things, only less obviously so...

    Thanks very much for posting you guys. I appreciate it!
