Ken Salazar Insults Clarence Thomas
Politics

Colorado Senator Ken Salazar clearly demonstrates, like most leftists, that he relies upon personal invective and slander rather than reasoned argument. He also seems to have a preference for using old-timey biblical language when denigrating those with whom he disagrees.
Most recently, he called Judge Clarence Thomas "an abomination". Before that, he called Christian psychologist James Dobson "the antichrist of this world." What next? Will he call for some "smiting" of those dreaded conservatives? Or perhaps a "woe unto you Republicans" or two?
The older I get, the more I'm convinced that when leftists say conservatives are judgemental, they're simply projecting.
The really scary thing is that these leftists who make these wild accusations actually believe them. I've heard on a few different occasions from conservatives who worked with liberals, in Congress for example, that when asked if they believed that conservatives were just wrong, or actually evil, most of them actually believe that we are evil. When Ken Salazar makes comments equation James Dobson with the anti-Christ, evil incarnate if you will, he most likely believes it with utter conviction. That is what is most frightening to me. As a conservative, I believe leftists are wrong, misguided, ect. I don't for one moment think that the majority of leftists are out and out evil people, but leftists are different. The kind of person who can believe that someone who disagrees with him is actually evil is the kind of person who is only a few steps away from "stopping" that "evil". This is why I don't for one second put it past the leftists, if they gained wide spread control of this country, to try to stop "evil conservative thought" by stopping civil liberties into the ground. I mean, we've seen from the attempts to re-enact the "radio fairness" laws(I forget exactly what they were called. They required stations to make equal time for conservative and liberal opinions or something similar), that leftists have no qualms about restricting 1st Ammendment rights if it will help their cause of hinder the cause of conservatives.
Markus,
I've noticed the same trend. When conservatism was out of fashion, conservatives poured tons of money into "think tanks" to explore, change, refine, and shape conservative ideas and explain them to the public. In short, conservatives participated in the political process.
But what I'm hearing from the left these days are calls for more regulation of speech, more speech code, claims that when they right disagrees they *violate* the first amendment by speaking out. Calls to re-enstate the "fairness doctrine", even though the media scarcity rationale which created in the first place is now utterly implausable.
All I can say, friend, is that God is not absent, and he allows evil to flourish for his reasons. This sort of thing has happened in history before, and will probably happen in again, perhaps even here. Stick tight, and don't sell out your ideals and integrity, if possible.
God bless you.
