4. View of America:
Liberals have always 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 by liberals. Liberals were quite aware of America's imperfections, but they agreed with Abraham Lincoln that America is 'the last, best hope of earth.' The left, however, believes the left is the last, best hope of earth and regards America as racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, violent, and imperialistic.
5. Free speech:
No one has been more committed than American liberals to the famous statement, 'I wholly disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.'
But the left is leading the first widespread suppression of free speech in modern American history-from the universities to the tech companies that govern the internet to almost every other institution and place of work. Of course, the left claims to only oppose 'hate speech.' But putting aside the fact that the left deems 'hate speech' anything it differs with, protecting what you or I might consider hate speech is the entire point of free speech.
6. Western civilization:
Liberals have always championed and sought to protect Western civilization. Liberals celebrate the West's unique moral, philosophical, artistic, musical and literary achievements, and have taught them at virtually every university. The most revered liberal in American political history, President Franklin Roosevelt, often cited the need to protect Western civilization and even 'Christian civilization.' Yet, when President Donald Trump spoke of the need to protect Western civilization in a speech in Warsaw, the left-wing media, also known as the mainstream media, denounced him. They argued that Western civilization is no better than any other and that 'Western civilization' is just a euphemism for 'white supremacy.'
So, then, if liberalism and leftism are so different, why don't liberals oppose the left? In a nutshell, because they have been taught all their lives to fear the right. But as one of the best-known liberals in America, Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz, said, 'As a liberal, as an American, and as a Jew, I far more fear the left than the right.'
Dear liberals: Conservatives are not your enemy. The left is.Share
