Do Liberals Have Any Principles At All?

Recently Paul Krugman, a columnist for the New York Times and someone who supposedly understands economics, wrote a piece describing the “cruelty” and “immorality” of Republicans, related to their efforts to repeal Obamacare.

Mr. Krugman’s most obvious objection to the Republican plan to repeal Obamacare is that people who now have Obamacare will “lose their healthcare”.

This type of statement proves that Democrats don’t understand the meaning of immorality, because, with a nation which was basically happy with their healthcare, the Obama administration unconstitutionally took that healthcare away with the passing of the Obamacare bill.

This caused many hard working, decent people to go broke trying to pay increased costs for skyrocketing deductibles. This was aside from the people who actually lost their jobs and no longer had the money nor a legal right to buy their own insurance as the ACA employer mandates were implemented.

The specific charge of Mr. Krugman of Republican “immorality” having been addressed, there are several examples of areas where Democrats and Socialists are absolutely immoral and lack any principles at all.

After eons of time when social norms were agreed on and constant, suddenly liberals insisted on same-sex marriage, which was a departure from any successful society ever known.

With the astounding success of American society to elevate women to positions of influence, education, wealth, and leadership, liberals insist on preaching how mistreated and discriminated women are.

The gender identity push of the Obama administration was a regression intended to allow people who formerly fit successfully into society to now resent having to live as government sponsored LGBT subjects instead of as nature intended them to live.

In a nation that has always welcomed immigrants, the Obama administration opened the nation’s borders to any illegal who wanted to come here, thereby harming all naturalized citizens already here and encouraging mistreatment of other newly arrived illegal immigrants.

Sanctuary cities are places where criminal illegal aliens can prey on other illegals who came here for peaceful, economic reasons, and the Democrat-run city governments in which sanctuary is practiced will protect the criminal and make the peaceful residents more vulnerable to attack.

One must always be reminded that Democrats tried to block the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which was only passed with overwhelming Republican votes.

It’s the Democrats who have, for their own political reasons, trapped poor, largely minority citizens, in a perpetual spiral of welfare dependence on government handouts.

It’s the Democrats who have pushed for minimum wage laws which only assure that fewer people are hired and that the entire workforce is paid less on average.

Also worth mentioning, minimum wage laws also assure that young people, largely minority students, never get that first job that introduces them to the working world, so they tend to become dependents on welfare and the handouts that Democrats love to distribute in exchange for the dependent individual’s vote.

Democrats do, in their infinite immorality, have as least one dominating principle: They will do absolutely anything to win and assure everyone else loses.
