Suggestions For Liberals in 2017

By Susan Stamper Brown Because the Democrat Party continues to implode I thought it would be helpful to write my third annual Suggestions for Liberals" column. So here goes: Understand that political correctness and despotism go hand-in-hand. The First Amendment makes America a politically-incorrect zone so deal with it. That means everyone gets to voice their opinion not just those with whom you happen to agree. Political correctness is just another word for control. As Voltaire said To learn who rules over you simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize." Hale-and-hearty debate helps make America great so try joining the conversation. After all a conversation only works if its more than just you-sided. Use a dictionary. Dictionaries are cheap. Look up the difference between racism and prejudice. Youll quickly come to understand that everyone is prejudiced…biased…predisposed in one way or another. Some people prefer city life and designer clothes while others small towns and Carhartt jeans.  In the same way a persons life experiences might motivate him to cross the street if he sees a light-skinned person on a dark night or maybe a dark-skinned person in the daylight if either is wearing sagging pants and angled baseball caps. Thats prejudice. Conversely racism is when someone believes their race is superior to others. Racism is abhorrent. Its also rare. Whats not rare however is how often liberals hurl accusations of racism to silence their opposition. Practice tolerance…really.  It would be wise to forgo labeling Republicans as intolerant" until you deal with your own intolerance. Remember the black church burning in Mississippi that had Vote Trump" spray painted on it? WJTV12 reports that a black member of the congregation did it not the white Trump supporter leftists conjured in their heads. And Mlive.com reports the Muslim University of Michigan student who said a man threatened to light her on fire if she didnt remove her hijab was lying and ABC7 reports the swastikas and KKK graffiti at New Yorks Nassau Community College was done by a student Jasskirat Saini not a skinhead. Support police. The Thin Blue Line is under attack and in large part its your partys fault. As the executive director of the National Association of Police Organizations William Johnson said after the execution of five Dallas cops last July: The Obama administrations continued appeasement at the federal level with the Department of Justice their appeasement of violent criminals their refusal to condemn movements like Black Lives Matter…all the while blaming police for the problems in this country has led directly to the climate that has made Dallas possible." The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund reports that in 2016 law enforcement fatalities nationwide rose to their highest level in five years." Of 135 officers killed 64 deaths were firearms-related and of the 64 21 were killed ambush-style. Deplorable. Understand Jesus was not a Democrat  Jesus wasnt into politics but if he was he wouldnt be a Democrat. Heres why: Jesus wouldnt be an environmentalist because that would break his First Commandment. And Hollywood idol worship would break his second. The Third Commandment wouldve stopped him from booing at the DNC Convention. And being pro-choice would break the sixth. You get my point. Implying that Jesus was a liberal is what happens when you contort the Bible to fit your politics rather than form your politics based on Biblical values. Continue embracing Progressivism. The Democratic Party is riding Clark Griswolds super-slick saucer on a lightning-quick slide toward irrelevance thanks to Progressivism which overtook the party. Besides losing the 2016 presidential election since 2008 Democrats have lost 35.7 percent of governorships10.2 percent of Senate seats 19.3 percent of House seats and 20.3 percent of state legislatures reports Washington Posts Philip Bump. The way I see it your loss is Americas gain so above all continue what youre doing. Sure hope this helps.
