The Truth About And The Value Of Liberalism

"This 'evil socialist plot' called 'liberalism' gave us Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the minimum wage, student loan programs, equal voting rights (including women’s suffrage), consumer protection, fair housing laws, child labor laws, environmental protection, food and drug safety laws, anti-trust laws, anti-discrimination laws, disability benefits, workplace safety, the SEC, the NLRB, and so many other protections, safety nets, disclosure laws, protections of civil rights, etc., they are far too numerous to list here. 

"When you buy into that canard about the evils of “Big Government,” and the plague of “high taxes” aimed at turning your money over to parasites and freeloaders, you advance the narrow, selfish interests of oligarchs (an oligarch is a person of great wealth and power who controls society, usually for the exclusive benefit of themself and their cronies)."

Thoughts And Prayers Are Useless And Harmful

"Another problem with conveying one’s 'thoughts and prayers' to victims is that it absolves you of your personal responsibility to work to change things that give rise to tragedies. Prayer is not an answer. It is a buck-passing exercise. You want to help cancer victims, take action to find a cure for cancer (support science and modern medical research). You want to save young people from dying in futile and endless wars, don’t support warmongers and fear-mongers and support those who engage in peaceful means to resolve differences. And so on. 'Thoughts and prayers' are an insipid excuse for inaction."
