The left is so full of hate, they can't see clearly.

Folks, "It's Time For A Revolution"

Mr. Prager,

What a fine presentation of the issues surrounding this present national debate. I especially appreciate the clear distinction being made between "left" and "Democrat". There are, in fact, Democrats who disagree with points that are being made by the extreme liberals (shall I say Socialists) on the left. The only question for them is: why remain aligned with those that violate your trust and your positions? Ronald Reagan was a Democrat, right up until the Democrat party abandoned their conservative ideals.

I think it is important to expound on your statement of Christians reviling antichrist. The antichrist spirit is in the ideology of the left. Socialism, communism, fascism all point to a world without Christ. Augustine's "City of God" is still relevant in its treatment of the fall of Rome. We hear parallels every day of the present state of our American Democratic-Republic and they are true and accurate. Governments instituted by God for the preservation of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness must remain focused on Him for their direction and authority. A government that is devoid of God is no government at all.

On one hand, I think the left is convinced its plans will make America better. On the other hand, their plans prove that they have neither considered the examples through history that disprove their theory nor challenged their own pride and conceit by ignoring the wisdom of the Founders that meticulously engineered protections for their posterity. The outrageous spending of these present elected officials prove both of these statements.

Ask the children of the 60's. Those that had no silver spoon so to speak. Utopia takes constant care. If we ever did reach that distant far off land there would still be those who would see it destroyed. It is the conservative who is to blame after all for enabling the liberal to exist. Much of what you have written had been written long ago in the literary novel by Ayn Rand. A simplistic look into the hopeful future, another reach toward "Utopia". I like the article.

CharlieE..What do you mean the conservative is to blame for enabling the liberal to exist? Conservatives believe in the right to be wrong as well as right. We don't vilify, torture, en-prison, send to rehab camps or execute those that disagree with us. We attempt to persuade with our ideas not reform by force. Freedom and liberty allows for dumb liberal thinking too. We just try not to have them in positions of power and influence. Also, the road to utopia is blocked by basic human nature.That is something the left has never understood. To man's constant sorrow!

Rob Risko - Very nice post to an excellent article. I for one believe that extreme liberals think with the emotional side of their brain, and they are generally devoid of logic. This would explain the fact that they resort to name calling and race-baiting in defending their positions: They cannot use logic to defend a logic based position, and since their positions are 99.9% of the time illogical, they resort to angry fits of rage.

The "Utopia" of a "Star Trek future" would be awesome, but ignorance is as Rob points out refusing to see the flaws in their systems thinking and working toward a FEASIBLE solution. Liberals are ignorant, because they have "drunk the kool-aid" of the Marxist inspred texts that populate academia. Idealism is great but it must be tempered with realism and an understanding of both human nature and the nature of our systems.

The main problem of Democrats is fatal conceit, the certainty that they know better than free markets and free people what ought to be done. They disdain the will of the majority. Democrats have morphed into democratic socialists, or just plain socialists. Their god is big government. Their main problem is that socialism is unconstitutional. They are shameless in their pursuit of power, so no rights are safe when they have power. All their major issues are highly unpopular, yet they are literally committing political suicide to enact them anyway.

Conservatives believe in " Utopia," only we call it Heaven and we are content to wait it when Christ returns or we die whichever comes first. :)

JJ; What I mean is the "liberal" could not exist without the "conservative" bent.

The hatred of the left is a truly palpable thing, especially if you are, as I am , a conservative in Massachusetts, arguably the most liberal state in the country. The vitriol spewed for instance at Scott Brown just prior to an after his electoion by the liberal pundit wwho ought to be institutionalaized in a rubber room, Keith Olbermann, was not only exceedingly vicious but insane diatribe as well. One would have thought the new Senator had slaughtered thousands on his way to his seat by defeating the democratic favorite, Martha Coakley, in the election no one thought he could win. The liberal left is so intense in it's hatred for independents, libertarians but, particularly, republicans and conservatives thart mainstream average Americans fear the irrationality of it all and the continuing assault on the Constitution and the rule of law by which we have lived and which has serverd us well for 234 years.

It seems to me as well, that most of our veterans who served oin our wars and swore to defend and uphold what the left denigrates and circumvents will not be happy at the polls in Novewmber and neither will the elderly who have paid into both SS and Medicare all their lives only to have it reduced to nothing and their health put at major risk by an administration that expects them to go to a mountaintop and die alone. The left is sowing the seeds of it's own total destruction and is so involved in persobnal hatred for dissent of any kind that it is eating at them from within like a cancer. Most will remember in November and vote for the restoration of sanity, while still there is SOME of it remaining in government.

Mr. Prager, you have hit the nail squarely on the head. Thanks for telling the bold truth. THanks for showing us the TRUE face of real evil: the value-less left that manipulates for its will through guilt and shame. And thanks for your warning us that in the coming months this will be the strategy the obamanation will use to try to sway any undecided votes and win the election this year and in 2012. This will come down to a civil war, or worse, a revolution bloodier than the one in France 200 years ago. If that is what it will take to purge this land from these parasites and restore our liberty, so be it. I say: Give me liberty or death.

My observation is that about half of humanity hates freedom while the other half prefer it. Freedom is an inconvenience to the individual and to the state it is a virus. Republicans (most) prefer freedom while democrats hate it, so I would be alarmed should I find favor in their eyes rather than hatred.

"The road to utopia is blocked by basic human nature."

This is very good. May I quote you?

I would like to commend Mr. Prager on an excellent piece but equally, if not more so, I would commend those who have commented so far. Your thoughts have added to the depth and richness of the dialog and the tone has been very civil, something which seems to be missing from virtually every other blog piece or article that I read - perhaps further making Mr. Prager's point. I believe this is a real testiment to the readers of Mr. Prager and the Patriot Post.

I came away today with something to actually think about and chew on, rather than feeling angry and disturbed by. Thank you all!

Utopia never arrives, because the true is that whatever the Statists may think, each Statist is an individual, a pesky little detail. Were it even possible that one individual Statist's concept of Utopia did by some happenstance Arrive, then that Utopia would be instantly dismantled by another Statist whose concept of Utopia differs from every other Utopian concept of every other individual Statist. Chasing windmills like Don Quixote. Meanwhile, those of us rooted in reality must perservere thru the ruins of previous Utopias.

Dennis nails it. The more I take my Christian faith seriously, the more I see current liberal thinking as a religion. Liberals here in California substitute an insane speech code, feel-good environmentalism, multiculturalism, etc. for traditional morality. It really proves that Humans are wired as Moral beings, even if they reject Judeo-Christian values. Liberals like to tell us that evolution can explain everything about Man, except evolution theory either denies or has no answer for our moral natures.
