As a conservative I have been told on more than one occasion that my
thinking is too concrete, too black and white if you will. Having been educated
in a very liberal college I distinctly remember going around and round in
circles with fellow students about how I should learn to see the “shades of
gray” between the black and white. Let me put this into sharper perspective,
Black and white represents the absolutes of right and wrong, so to say, while
the shades of gray can be said to represent all the “what if’s” of problem
solving, all of the things that simply can’t be solved by so called concrete thinking. Admittedly,
there are times where a failure to see the shades of gray can have its
consequences because thinking outside the box may be necessary; however, there
are many different boxes to speak of here. Personally, and this is based on my
own observations and experiences with today’s liberal, I believe they have
trapped themselves inside a very small box that is in fact, only
one shade of gray. Inside this box liberals are running frantically round and
round looking for answers they can’t find because they fail to recognize the
need for an absolute. They
have become so critical of the “black and white” or the “concrete” that it has
become virtually useless to them. They have trapped themselves in a box where
the only solution to today’s problems is socialism.
Like usual, I am going to turn this around a bit and argue that because
of the box they have created for themselves they have inadvertently built their
own “absolute” or their own concrete thinking, and it is they that need to
learn to see in the shades of gray. Let me explain. Most of us know that
today’s liberals are extremely biased to a leftist world view and they attempt
to hide that fact by accusing us all of being biased and bigoted. This is a typical
blame the other guy tactic, the left displays an incredible intolerance toward
any worldview other than their own as they frantically work to make theirs
appear as the ultimate “moral” perspective. This in and of itself is a bias that
has manifested itself into a one
solution fits all mentality and it fails time and time again. This
solution of course is the centralization of government power, the dictatorship
of the proletariat or a solution better known as socialism. Again this is all
based on my own observations but what other conclusions can be drawn when you
are well studied in history and you are constantly around people who absolutely
refuse to acknowledge that capitalism brings people out of poverty? Liberals
have enjoyed the benefits of dominating education and social research for so
long that the whole institution has become nothing but a protector of liberal opinion. It is nearly impossible to
find good peer reviewed research that supports a conservative worldview from a
social perspective. What this essentially equates too is that students are
forced to regurgitate the opinions of liberal researchers who are biased
towards a socialist world view and because there is a lack of a conservative
influence, getting them to break away from this bias is nearly impossible.
Let me give you a couple of examples of this principle at work. In
conversations with today’s liberals, issues like policy, social welfare or
their hatred of capitalism are likely to come up. Let me say that there are
things that simply do not need to be proven with peer reviewed research. To a
liberal professor however; unless there is an academic journal that validates
the fact that America’s capitalist economy has brought more people out of
poverty than any other, it is just an opinion and their research shows
otherwise. Their research shows of course that capitalism takes advantage of
the poor and people commit crimes because capitalism is only for the greedy who
seek to exploit the labor of the underprivileged. Their biased research suggests, to the contrary history, that
centralization of power will solve the problems created by capitalism. Suggest
to a liberal professor that capitalism is the reason why we are more prosperous
than socialist North Korea and the response you are likely to get would be…"I
am going to need to see some research that validates that claim.”
All of this revolves around their hatred of capitalism and their
desperation to prove that the failed systems of socialism can be made to work
if they could just be given the right opportunity. You can look out into the
world and see with the naked eye that a failure to acknowledge an absolute
right or wrong, a black and white if you will, only leaves people scrambling to
solve more problems arising from repeating the same mistakes over and over
again. Today’s liberals have trapped themselves in a self destructive box of
this new philosophy of no absolute
as absolutism, and they seem completely content in their attempts to make a
square peg fit in a round hole. They are happy to take us along as well, as
long as in the end they have achieved their dream, the destruction of
capitalism in America.
