This is really good. Evan Sayet speaking to the Heritage Foundation. It just proves how empty liberalism really is.

The modern liberal will invariably side with evil over good, wrong over right, and the behaviors that lead to failure over those that lead to success.

Here’s a little more, forgive the errors - I transcribed very quickly this morning:

One of the interesting things he mentions, and he points out numerous points about what is failed about the leftist ideology, is that they relentlessly seek to tear down what is good, and elevate what is evil so there is nothing left to fight for.

It’s hard to really accept; there is no criteria for truth, beauty, justice or anything else for the modern liberal. Indiscriminateness is a moral imperative because rational moral thought is an act of bigotry. One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. But at the very minimum, in order to be called a freedom fighter, wouldn’t you have to be fighting for….freedom? Quite literally, being indiscriminate leaves them unable to tell the difference between freedom and having your head hacked off.

No matter how sincerely you are in gathering the facts, no matter how earnestly you look at the evidence, your conclusion is going to be so tainted by your own bigotry, that no matter what your conclusion is, it’s useless; the only way to get rid of bigotry is to eliminate rational thought.

The problem is chosing the best options is the essence of rational thought. In order to eliminate discrimination, the modern liberal has opted to become indiscriminate. We are dealing with people who reject rational thought as a hate crime. We have citizens of voting age who quite literally are utterly unwilling and incapable of critically judging the merits of the positions they hold, and have held unquestioned since they’re 5 years old; since they first entered the leftist indoctrination process.

When I was 5-years old I’d go trick-or-treating. I’d have a bag for candy in one hand, and unicef box in the other. We learned then, don’t hit, talk, and share your stuff. But since we’re 5, we’ve learned that the United Nations isn’t as great as we thought. But liberals won’t grow out of the 5-year-old mentality even with new evidence like the oil for food program, corruption, genocide in Rwanda, etc. So then, it’s a completely blind and mindless indiscriminateness. This is why Bush is Hitler. Reagan is Hitler. Giuliani is Hitler. Hitler discriminated against the jews, Giuliani discriminated against the crack addicts in Time Square. Any form of rational thought or critical thinking must have been arrived at through discrimination. They don’t even think about your stances or positions, they don’t have to. The best way to eliminate the attempt to be right is to prove that right isn’t right. And there is no wrong. Imagine a time where everything that people value is devalued to the point where there is nothing left to kill or die for. Everything they believe is designed to tear down what is good, and elevate what is evil. Does it tear down the behaviors that lead to success and elevate the behaviors that lead to failure until there’s nothing left to believe in. They quite literally can’t differentiate between good or evil, right or wrong, better and worse.

Indiscriminateness of thought does not lead to indiscriminateness of policy. Indiscriminateness of thought inevitably leads the modern liberal to side with evil over good, wrong over right and the behaviors that lead to failure over success. Why? Because in a world where no behavior is to be deemed better or worse than any other, then the expectation is that all behaviors should lead to equally good outcomes. In the real world, different behaviors lead to different outcomes. You and I know why, because we think. We know why communities that promote teenage promiscuity fail at a greater rate than those that promote abstinance. Promiscuity is not the same as abstinance.

Let’s forget about the moral component let’s talk practicalities. If your boy’s out messing around, he’s not home reading a book. If your daughter is at the abortion mill again, she can’t be studying for her SAT’s. If your son is in the hospital dying of AIDS, he’s not putting together his 5-year plan.

To the modern liberal who cannot make that judgement, success is cheating. In a world where they don’t talk about the consequences of behavior, but want instead to ‘live for today’, is the reason why they vote for themselves more entitlements. They don’t think about who’s going to pay for it. Whatever policy seeks to tear down what is good, America, Israel, Walmart, until everything meets in the middle and there’s nothing left to fight about.

The one thing that I find incredibly disturbing about all of this is the fact that they’ve become like anarchists; with no solutions, and nothing to replace the system that they hate so much.

Here’s Evan’s website, and here’s his blog.

Books he refers to:

How We Got Here: The 70’s: The Decade That Brought You Modern Life–For Better or Worse (Paperback)

3. This is really good. I’m going to use this myself. Sayat’s points are virtually irrefutable.

4. Hey all,

   I’m Evan Sayet, the person speaking in this talk to the Heritage Foundation.

   First, thanks for linking my talk. It’s amazing how far and wide this has gone and how deeply it’s affected people. Keep an eye out for the book in the spring (Regnery).

   Okay, that’s not why I wrote. I wrote because, “Discerning Texan,” if you’re going to steal my material the least you could do is spell my name right!

   Oh, you could also link it at YOUR site.

   Hope you guys are well. Keep up the fight, this next election is HUGE.

   All the best.

   Evan

5. Actually, Evan, it was I who wrote the post first. Discerning Texan only commented here. So is it your opinion that I ripped off what you said there? I have linked to you from my site and helped to promote this speech as I thought it was very appropros, it was very on-target, and really fills in the blanks about the hatred they spew while being totally clueless about history and current events.
