5 REVOLTING FACETS OF LIBERAL CULTURAL VALUES...

[Whirlaway]

1) An elevation of victimhood

In a weird reversal of how the world has worked since man was raised up out of the dust, it has become good to be a victim in America. In fact, many of the people held up as “victims” in our country are loving every second of their “victimhood.”

The best recent example of that phenomenon is Sandra Fluke. Here’s an unaccomplished 30-year-old student who went to Congress and demanded that other people be forced to pay thousands of dollars a year to subsidize her birth control. It’s like the set-up of a stand-up comedian’s joke, except that when people responded with the natural punch lines that featured lots of “She’s a slut” jokes, Sandra Fluke was treated like a victim. Next thing you know, she’s on TV, she’s treated like a heroine, and she gets a speaking slot at the Democratic National Convention. For a fifth-rate mediocrity like Sandra Fluke, her supposed “victimhood” was the best thing that ever happened to her.

Then there’s bus monitor Karen Klein. People felt sorry for the nice old lady who was bullied by kids on a bus — so much so that they chipped in more than a half million dollars to help her out. However, this was an adult whose job was to keep kids from being bullied. How many kids on that bus must have been abused because she was so completely unsuited to the job she willingly chose to take on? At the end of the day, she wasn’t a “victim” in any meaningful sense; she was just a failure at her job.


Does treating people like this as heroes strike anyone as healthy or good for the country? At best, victims should be pitied, not celebrated or rewarded.

2) A fascination with freaks, failures, and deviants

For many Americans, the easiest way to get your name in the papers, get people talking about you, and make money isn’t to be great at something, it’s to be a dirtbag. Make a sex tape, flash your vagina getting out of a car, or just behave like a jackass and everyone will be saying your name. If you don’t think that’s true, then why do you know who Snooki is?

It may have started with Oprah, Phil Donahue, Geraldo, Ricki Lake, Montel Williams, Jenny Jones and the rest of the trash tabloid hosts putting women on TV who didn’t know who their baby-daddy was, but it has devolved even further. Now, we have Jersey Shore, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, Small Town Security, and other sub-normal mediocrities being put on the screen for the amusement of the masses.

When you reward bad behavior with money and fame, you shouldn’t be surprised when you get more bad behavior. Snooki may be a skanky loser, but I wonder how many young girls are thinking, “A skanky ‘loser’ with money, fame, and a TV show sounds pretty good to me!”

3) Infantilization

America is a country that was born in revolution and peopled by some of the most independent human beings ever to walk the earth. Our ancestors explored, conquered, and settled this nation under some of the harshest conditions imaginable, even in many places where “government” was more of a theoretical concept than a functioning entity. Now, the government educates your kids, gives you money and food if you don’t have a job, picks which toilets and light bulbs you’re allowed to buy, runs your health care, and takes care of you when you get old. Meanwhile, if you’re so stupid that you hit yourself in the face with an iron until you fracture your skull, you can probably get a lawyer to sue the manufacturer for not putting a warning label on its product telling you not to do that.

4) Hyper-sexualization:

Sex is a healthy, normal, and good part of life. For that matter, so is water. But just as you can drown in a flood, our society is drowning in sex. It saturates our magazine ads, TV, and the Internet to such an extent that gyrating women in bikinis trying to sell us beer or teenagers having sex on TV barely even catches our attention.

It has gotten so bad that one scientific study failed after the scientists couldn’t find any men who hadn’t seen pornography. Hyper-sexualized Halloween costumes, nudity on the Internet and in film, and musicians wearing outfits that would have been considered risque for prostitutes fifty years ago have become the norm. Worse yet, we don’t know how to stop ourselves. Any time someone suggests that we turn the dial down a notch or two from acting like a society full of pimps and whores, you’d think it was a suggestion that we put everyone in formless robes and chastity belts. There should be some setting between Leave it to Beaver and a strip club that we can embrace as a country.

5) Indifference towards societal disintegration

Thomas Sowell had it right when he said, “Civilization has been aptly called a ‘thin crust over a volcano.’ The anointed are constantly picking at that crust.”

We seem to start out with an assumption that our culture is healthy, vibrant, and can’t be damaged by any of our societal tinkering. It’s hard to understand what would give anyone this impression when roughly a third of the population has been divorced; 73 percent of black children, 53 percent of Latinos and 29 percent of whites are born outside marriage; and 1 out of every 32 Americans is in prison or on parole.

Yet we slur Christianity, encourage gay marriage, talk up single motherhood, push deviancy in TV and movies, mock morality, and scoff at codes of honor. Throughout most of history, civilizations haven’t looked at attempts to stave off cultural rot as religious zealotry or prudishness; they’ve considered it to be simple common sense.

That's a great article. It touches on several aspects of liberalism that are the most dangerous.

If there is a common thread that runs through almost all of liberal thought, it's the belief that in every power struggle, the stronger party is evil and the weaker party is virtuous. This is the common denominator which determines the side liberals choose to support in just about everything. Whether it's a power struggle based on income, race, gender, ethnic background or religion, in essentially every case, the weaker party is assumed to stand for virtue and the stronger party is assumed to be evil.

The obvious exception, to the liberal belief that greater power equals evil, is the liberal's positive view of increasing power to the government. Liberals believe that the only legitimate weilding of power is done by the government. Liberals believe that the government should be responsible for insuring justice and can be trusted to not become corrupted by power. Liberals essentially view the government as God.

Hey Whirlway isn't that the pot calling the kettle black??? I wonder where you fit in WW- you have 21 reviews on a whore board where you "pay" for sex- which is probably a liberal cultural value as well. So for a man like you Whirlway who pays for sex- how dare you post an article such as this when you are guilty of #2 and #4???

About #2 isn't trolling in the airport men's room fall into this category?

Well in WW world only dems will do things like that- a Republican would never resort to such filth- no republican would ever cheat, or engage in sexual deviant behavior.

WhirlyTits do you actually read the material prior to posting? Or do you blindly post the garbage you find on the Tea Party bulletin boards, without reading?

Let's cut to the chase, shall we? This is an adult entertainment board that encourages people such as yourself to review (Whirly has 22 reviews of) adult entertainers. In case you failed to notice, the very individuals referenced in your post are the very same hobbyists who frequent this board. Yourself included. I have refrained from saying this in the past but you must be one ignorant dude! I believe you might give StupidOldFart a run for what I thought was his exclusive title! In fact, you may surpass him!

Iffy, what it does show would be how ignorant WhirlyTits must be. If you can't see it, then I can only assume you are just as ignorant!

If ignorance is bliss, you and WhirlyTits must be drowning in your ignorance! Glug, Glug, Glug!

#6: Thinking that everyone around you is ignorant and needs additional instruction.

#7: And the instruction should come from you because you are wiser and more capable of informing others of liberal views.

LL, if you fail to see the contradiction, you're just as ignorant as the other two!

Who's next to take the ignorance is bliss test?

BigTex is absolutely correct and it's exactly what I was eluding too- WW is an ass for posting that info when he is guilty of doing the same shit- WW has paid for sex at least 22 times that we know of- now I have too, but the difference is I recognize my mistakes and sins and I would never make a post that this person is immoral or this person is a better character. In WW world does he think only Liberals seek out escorts???? How someone like WW with 22 reviews can post a thread that deals with values is very funny and sad. I wonder if WW were give these 22 girls he payed for "sex" a lesson on morality???

It's apparent that WhirlyTits is not intelligent enough to recognize the contradiction, or he wouldn't have posted it in the first place.

By extension, the same must also be true of Iffy and LL! It obviously flew over their heads, as well.

I wonder who's next. Marshy errrrr ChoomCzar do you feel like taking a bite of the apple?

I think prostitution has been around a long time. That's not the point of Whirly's article. He makes valid points. Check out the sitcoms from your youth to now. Kids learn a lot more about sex today, and at an earlier age, and from more questionable sources. And the government promotes eliminating parental involvement in their child's sexual education and behavior.

It's a problem.

Ok and look at WW's reviews- he has seen many girls who are young-18,19, and 20- is he saving the world by "paying" these girls for sexual services- or do you COG believe that WW is doing this so the girls can pay for the college books and tuition?
