Just for amusement, let’s review some liberal-left media liberal-speak today. I’d call this a perfect example of intelligence “Lite”. Whole lot of redundancy there, I know.
The liberal newspaper “Vancouver Sun” (which when you compare the words Vancouver and Sun is as ironic as the phrase “liberals, with the foggiest knowledge of family values”), wrote-up this example of intelligence-Lite (Nov. 8 2004) in its ever-so-educational editorial page. The editorialist this time was Peter McKnight, who sits on the editorial board of the liberal paper. It’s a bit of a coming out for editorialist Peter McKnight.
The editorial section of the Vancouver Sun is what they commonly use to endorse, train, and recruit liberals to the liberal fold, and indoctrinate Canadians to the great largely Godless liberal-left way. Or to put it another way, intelligence-Lite with a twist of a complete and utter lack of moral compass, as well as a complete and utter lack of an understanding of their own readership—Canada—which in the last census declared themselves to be (by a 70 percent margin) “Christians”. The rest of the paper is just for ad revenue.
[…]
The exit polls confirm that the majority of people who supported Bush did so not out of concern that Osama would turn Americans into bearded and burka’d Stepford wives (husbands), but because they supported “moral values.”
As nebulous as the term “moral values” is, the Rove glossary provides a convenient definition: Those who support moral values are against abortion, against stem cell research, and, most of all, against gay marriage.
After all, gay marriage hurts the family, which is the primary building block of society. (No Republican ever dares to mention that this anti-gay philosophy is profoundly anti-family—that it divides families—as is evidenced by the fact that Mary Cheney, the openly lesbian daughter of the vice-president, was forced to attend the Republican National Convention without her partner, while her sister and father stood proudly on the podium with their spouses.)
[…]
But Rove chose to write Mary Cheney out of the script because the Bush philosophy is not about dividing, but conquering.
[…]
First suggestion to Peter McKnight: Look at the big picture when it comes to gay marriage and then profess to us about family values and building a better society and a better nation. Perhaps (and this is the small picture) you should also look in your pants—for strictly scientific reasons, for once, Peter. Then please try to explain to us one more time how what’s in your pants is “profoundly anti-family”. I find your statement to be profoundly offensive and profoundly idiotic, but to then re-hash the Cheney daughter thing—well it’s as if you want to prove how dumb liberals are after taking such a thrashing for raising a strictly personal family issue during the campaign. End of suggestions to Peter McKnight.
One wonders why McKnight doesn’t just come right out and say that he doesn’t acquiesce to the definition of “moral values”—a phrase he writes in quotes as if it’s an airy-fairy concept that isn’t yet fully validated and hasn’t yet been fully vetted by the liberals over at the CRTC or the CBC division of the Liberal Party. I wonder why he doesn’t just come out and say, ‘I believe in killing babies before birth’; ‘I believe in EMBRYONIC stem cell research’ (few disagree with adult stem-cell research); and “most of all” (to use his emphatic words), ‘I am in favor of gay marriage’.
I think it’s because that would mean he doesn’t have moral values, and yet I’m sure he’s actually got some in there somewhere. And rather than come out and say that, it’s easier for pantywaists like him to just obfuscate and ridicule George Bush and Republicans and conservatives and the tens of millions of Americans and millions of Canadians who have these Godly (if you liberals will excuse the expression) moral values.
And by the way, I’ve never heard Carl Rove define anything and know nothing of his campaign around the moral values issue—I actually didn’t follow the old mainstream media version of the campaign like a goat, but rather mocked it repeatedly, as tens of millions of others also did, much to the chagrin of falling, losing, liberal mainstream media. Like others, I figured things out all by myself with the help of my adherence to the traditional religious and family values which founded both our nations, which made my decision a snap. I keep telling liberals they should look over their shoulder at history and at the people; and instead of lecturing them as if they are superior to them, get to know them. But they refuse to listen.
Liberals and the media will continue to try to re-write history and make this an election purely about what is to them the hilarious “morals” and “Christians”, and “abortion” and “traditional marriage”. Let them. That’s how they lost.
