In spite of constantly lying and cheating, liberals always claim to hold title to the moral high ground.

Their instinct is always to pretend to care about things they don’t. For instance, the House Republicans, in an attempt to prevent Obama’s granting legal status to five million illegal aliens, tied funding for Homeland Security to defunding Obama’s blatantly unconstitutional power grab. Predictably, the Democrats in the Senate said that proved Republicans didn’t care about protecting us from terrorists without even referring to the actual sticking point.

And Mitch McConnell, who is as useless as a human appendix, never bothered making the Democrats explain why they were willing to sacrifice national security for the sake of providing illegal aliens with Social Security numbers and the ability to collect tax refunds for taxes they never paid!

But, thanks to a corrupt media, the liberals are always able to say or do anything they like without having their motives questioned. Years ago, they declared war on the Boy Scouts because the Scouts quite reasonably decided that homosexuals would not be allowed to be Scout leaders. To do otherwise would have doomed the Boy Scouts to losing one inevitable lawsuit after another.

Even a New York Times columnist would have to agree that it made no sense to send gay Scout leaders off into the woods overnight with impressionable 13 and 14-year-olds, but nobody on the Left ever suggested that if gays so yearned for the scouting experiences, they could simply have formed a group of their own to be known as the Gay Scouts of America.

But, then, that would be too simple. In the same way, there would have been nothing easier for gays than to find a baker or florist in town who would have happily supplied cakes and flowers for their weddings. But, instead, they had to hunt down those whose religion condemns homosexuality, and taken them before liberal judges who were only too happy to dole out fines and jail time.

How stupid are liberals? Well, for openers, they wear Che Guevara’s likeness on their shirts, passing him off as a freedom fighter, even though he was Fidel Castro’s chief executioner. Che’s targets were anyone who opposed the Cuban dictator, including union leaders, writers and teachers. Che even boasted that he knew that many who were lined up for the firing squads hadn’t been guilty of anything. The psychopath simply enjoyed having the power over life and death.

Heck, Che even banned the music of the Beatles. You’d have thought that alone would have been enough to turn off liberals, but you would be wrong.

The truth is that once you start listing the things that liberals have been wrong about over the decades, there’s no end in sight.

In the 30s, even after Stalin starved millions of Ukrainians to death for refusing to surrender their farms to the state, and murdered all of his political rivals, American Communists were calling the Soviet Union a workers’ paradise and referring to its blood-thirsty despot as “Uncle Joe.”

When Hitler signed a non-aggression pact with Stalin so that he could concentrate on conquering the rest of Europe, America’s liberals pushed FDR to stay out of the war. But once Hitler turned his attentions eastward and attacked the Soviet Union, the same people insisted that we enter the fray. As uberliberal playwright Lillian Hellman famously announced at a New York cocktail party the day German troops crossed the Soviet border: “We’ve been invaded!”

In the 50s, when the liberals weren’t busy spying for the Soviet Union and sending our atomic bomb secrets to their favorite uncle, they were pushing Truman and Eisenhower to end the Cold War.

By the 1960s, the liberals were insisting that the U.S. unilaterally disarm, confident that the Soviet Union would then follow suit. But, then, liberals always believe that if we only set what they regard as a good example, even the most brutal dictatorships will be moved to do the same. And yet even they should realize from personal experience that if you speak reasonably to your children and even call for a timeout when they misbehave, unless they know that some form of corporal punishment is waiting in the wings, the message rarely sticks.

Those on the Left also believe you help poor people by confiscating wealth from the productive and handing it to them, even though the poor are often in that state because they spurned education and sexual abstinence, got hooked on drugs, and decided that in the great drama of life they would cast themselves as helpless, but demanding, victims.

Inasmuch as there are so many very wealthy liberals, you would think they would at least champion the cause of capitalism. Instead, they promote socialism and communism, although capitalism is the only economic system which doesn’t inevitably morph into a sewer nation boasting gulags, death squads and re-education camps.

Liberals believe that all religions and cultures – except our own, of course – are equally exceptional, ignoring the fact that in most important ways, those others are vile, intolerant, oppressive and barbaric.

Furthermore, liberals believe in the sanctity of something they refer to as the international community and the moral authority of such organizations as the League of Nations, although it sat by while Italy invaded Ethiopia, and Germany consumed Czechoslovakia; and the United Nations, which sat idly by while millions were butchered in Rwanda.

Liberals pretend that photo IDs are essential if you wish to buy a beer, board a plane or attend an Obama speech, but evil if they’re required for voting.

Liberals are so stupid, they believe the federal government is a money-making enterprise, pretending that printing and spending money is just the same as earning it. Their thinking is so muddled they don’t even believe there’s a problem with America’s having run up a debt of $18 trillion. Perhaps that’s because they never took the time to count up all the zeros in $18,000,000,000,000.

That number is so huge it means that if it were equally divided between every man, woman and child, in America, each would have to cough up $60,000. But, of course, Obama would see to it that not only would the illegal aliens not have to pay a single red cent, but would receive a check in the mail.

I recently advised people that if they wanted to do something for veterans, instead of donating to the Wounded Warrior Project, which seems to eat up a lot of contributions in salaries and expenses, they should consider Fisher House, which provides free housing for the families of the vets being treated at medical facilities.

Another worthy charity is the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund, which like Fisher House and the Salvation Army, relies on volunteers and not pricey CEOS, fancy offices and an expensive staff, to perform its good works.

It has now come to my belated attention that dog lovers should stop donating to the Humane Society of the U.S. The group pulls in over $130 million-a-year and doesn’t maintain a single animal shelter. Worse yet, it donates less than one percent of its charitable donations to supporting local shelters.

Its CEO pulls down $400,000-a-year and the staff pulls down $44 million. What’s more, the group recently settled a multi-million dollar racketeering and bribery lawsuit brought against two of its in-house lawyers. It may have had something to do with the $50 million the HSUS has stashed in Caribbean tax shelters over the past two years. It sounds to me as if the only dogs this group is interested in helping are those who have two legs and a numbered account.

So if your concern is with those who have four legs and a tail, I suggest you support your hometown shelters, even if it means forgoing all those little address labels the HSUS sends out with the pictures of adorable dogs and cats.

In conclusion, as a rule of thumb, I would suggest that if a charity is spending a ton of money waging a national TV campaign, they are probably shortchanging the cause to which you assume you’re contributing.
