Do As I Say (Not As I Do)
Members of the liberal left exude an air of moral certitude. They pride themselves on being selflessly committed to the highest ideals and seem particularly confident of the purity of their motives and the evil nature of their opponents.
To correct economic and social injustice, liberals support a whole litany of policies and principles: progressive taxes, affirmative action, greater regulation of corporations, raising the inheritance tax, strict environmental regulations, children’s rights, consumer rights, and much, much more.
But do they actually live by these beliefs? Politicians like the Clintons, Nancy Pelosi, the Kennedys, and Ralph Nader; commentators like Michael Moore, Al Franken, Noam Chomsky, and Cornel West; entertainers and ‘philanthropists’ like Barbara Streisand and George Soros.
Do they really live by the principles they so confidently advocate?
There’s a long list of glaring contradictions. Michael Moore denounces oil and defense contractors as war profiteers. He also claims to have no stock portfolio, yet he owns shares in Halliburton, Boeing, and Honeywell and does his post production film work in Canada to avoid paying union wages in the United States.
Noam Chomsky opposes the very concept of private property and calls the Pentagon “the worst institution in human history,” yet he and his wife have made millions of dollars in contract work for the department of Defense and own two luxurious homes.
Barbara Streisand prides herself as an environmental activist, yet she owns shares in a notorious strip-mining company.
Hillary Clinton supports the right of thirteen-year-old girls to have abortions without parental consent, yet she forbade Chelsea to pierce her ears and enrolled her in a school that would not distribute condoms to minors.
Nancy Pelosi received the 2002 Cesar Chavez Award from the United Farm Workers, yet she and her husband own a Napa Valley vineyard that uses nonunion labor.
Conclusion: Liberalism in the end forces adherents to become hypocrites. They adopt one pose in public, but when it comes to what matters most in their own lives-their property, their privacy, and their children-they jettison their liberal principles and embrace conservative ones
The contradiction: If these ideas don’t work for the very individuals who promote them, how can they work for the rest of us?
