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. I have been listening to liberal
professors and the students they indoctrinate go around in circles describing
to me how I need to learn to see all the “shades of gray” between the black and
white. Let me put this into 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. 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. That was the explicit purpose for the creation of critical thinking
incidentally.
Like
usual, I am going to turn this around a bit and argue that because of this box
they have created for themselves they have built their own “absolute” or their
own “concrete thinking” and they 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 while attempting to hide that fact by accusing us of being
biased. Typical blame the other guy tactic. This bias manifests itself into one
solution to all problems that their self created box prevents them from seeing,
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. Their research proves, 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 N.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.
