Pride Goeth Before the Fall

One of the most common characteristics among liberals that I have noticed, from the rank and file uninformed liberal, to the wacko “journalists,” to the rabble rousing elites, is their unabashed arrogance. Every conservative, from Supreme Court Justices (and nominees), candidates, elected officials, radio and TV personalities, to the common parent is, according to liberals, “stupid,” “uneducated,” and in every way inferior to their liberal counterparts. Any sampling of mainstream media reports on Barack Obama easily illustrates a bias on par with the hysterical screaming of thousands of teenage girls at the height of Beatlemania.
For example:

“Reagan [at the 1984 D-Day commemoration] was all about America, and you talked about it. Obama is, ‘We are above that now. We’re not just parochial, we’re not just chauvinistic, we’re not just provincial. We stand for something.’ I mean, in a way, Obama’s standing above the country, above — above the world. He’s sort of God. He’s going to bring all different sides together.”
— Newsweek’s Evan Thomas on MSNBC’s Hardball, June 5, 2009.

“The sun glinted off chiseled pectorals sculpted during four weightlifting sessions each week, and a body toned by regular treadmill runs and basketball games.”
— Washington Post’s Eli Saslow December 25th, 2008.

“The other night I dreamt of Barack Obama. He was taking a shower right when I needed to get into the bathroom to shave my legs....I launched an e-mail inquiry....Many women — not too surprisingly — were dreaming about sex with the President.”
— New York Times “Domestic Disturbances” blogger Judith Warner, February 5, 2009.

Can you imagine any journalist slavering like this over a conservative leader? Rush Limbaugh would never shame or demean himself in such a groveling manner, but if he were to do so it would become the centerpiece of a liberal tsunami to discredit him. People on the left would undoubtedly seek to have him institutionalized. There are no checks and balances within the liberal media establishment to prevent this sort of thing. One would think the editors of Newsweek would have squashed this kind of blatant cultish admiration. Not so. Note that Thomas’s prediction that Obama would bring all sides together is, thus far, just as ridiculous as his attempt to deify him. Who can deny that this idolization doesn’t feed Obama’s (not to mention the members of his administration) ego? Why, not only is he the first black president, he’s the smartest and the sexiest too! What else would anyone expect from a demi-god?
The arrogance of the left is not isolated to the media either. Every experiment with charter schools and voucher programs proves their success and worthiness, but for some reason, top educators remain opposed to such systems. This opposition is borne of exactly the same arrogance exhibited by liberal elitists: they, and not parents, know what’s best for everyone else!
One look at the academic credentials of Obama and his cabinet members says it all. Princeton, Columbia Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Cambridge, and Oxford to name a few; bastions of liberal indoctrination a.k.a. education. Of course, George W. Bush went to Yale too, but the liberals didn’t let that stop them from impugning his intelligence, despite the fact that his grades, according to the transcripts, were higher than John Kerry’s. (Conspiracy-minded Liberals have made a point to explain that this was because members of the Secret Service were the ones really doing his homework for him – and the rank and file liberals actually believe it)! Funny thing is Obama won’t release his transcripts. Am I the only one wondering why the media hasn’t pressured the White House their release, or to editorialize that the most likely explanation is that Obama had worse scores than Bush… Hmmm?
The liberals are on the verge of fundamentally changing the United States. The largely unspecified “change” promised during the 2008 presidential campaign by Obama and other top liberals is every bit the Socialism predicted by Obama’s political enemies. These so-called “reforms” have been overwhelmingly unpopular among the citizens of the United States, as is evidenced by the numerous Tea Party demonstrations and town hall meetings held around the country. Yet the liberals are still moving ahead, forcing their Marxist agenda down our throats like so many teaspoonfuls of bad medicine. It just so happens that Joe Wilson was right when he called Obama a liar. The healthcare bill about to emerge from Congress will provide tax dollars to cover abortions, and the Administration has announced that the next item on its agenda is to make citizens of the “15 million” illegal immigrants currently invading our nation, most, but not all of them, peacefully.
There are indeed many reasons why the liberals continue to do these things despite the opposition of the people. Despite their “education,” they aren’t nearly as intelligent as they think they are – or that they want us to think they are. Remember, whereas the Ark was built by a lone amateur, the Titanic was built by a team of professionals. And lest there be any doubt, we’re the ones steaming full speed ahead toward icebergs, not salvation, because of the Liberals' unabashed arrogance - they, not you, not me, know what’s best for us.
