Liberals can't win arguments because they only have one idea - their best, most triumphant, most transcendent idea: RAISE TAXES. That's it. That's all they've got. There are no more arrows in their quiver. Every liberal so-called "idea" comes back to raising taxes. Because they are so generous with other people's money.

But it's perfect for them because it's so incredibly arrogant. They know SO much better than you how to spend your money. They are so much SMARTER. You are just another simpleton, a sheep that doesn't understand how perfect life would be if you just gave more of  your hard-earned money to entitlement programs to create their socialist utopia.

But who really is simple-minded here? The answer to every liberal challenge is, phrased one way or another, a curt "raise taxes". Politicians and liberals suck up to Castro and they can't hide their jealousy. They seem to want to get us closer and closer to communism.
Pelosi and Reid's approval ratings -if you can still call them that- are in the low twenties, because they are so hopelessly out of touch with the American people. Now Pelosi is floating around the idea of a VAT tax? Do politicians not pay taxes (Except for Obama staffers)? Why don't they care more about this, even for their own lives?

You can only raise taxes so many times before the people get angry. Look at the tea party protesters. Also, if you want someone to do less of something, tax it more. Make it more expensive, more out of reach. Yet liberals think this is a good idea. Despite the fact that it has never worked anywhere in the world, and every time taxes are cut, economies thrive. But facts never trouble liberals. They just think if they take more and more and more money out of YOUR paycheck, problems, somehow, despite no evidence, will solve themselves.

So next time you hear the song "Taxman" by the Beatles, written by George Harrison, think about how in England in the late 60's, how ahead of the curve they were, again. As bad as things were there, and probably still are, they never could have predicted Pelosi, Reid and Obama gunning to tax soda and candy to nickel and dime us out of everything we have and still expect us to approve.

As we all know, liberals throw around the charge "racism" like rice at a wedding. I maintain this is because never in their lives have they seen actual racism. They just think they see it, hair-triggering at easy, perceived targets without any thought. Like overzealous hunters who have been in the woods for days and WANT to see a deer so badly they start mentally manufacturing them: "Oh! I see one! I see one!" when they are clearly not there. Liberals have co-opted the term (something they are experts at; rather than think through an argument, they just co-opt terms), "racism". I guess they figured they used it so much, why not? Now, in the year 2009, the word racism does not mean what it used to mean. It now means "someone a liberal disagrees with".

Take the sad case of former President Jimmy Carter. (That feels so odd to write). He and his ilk are running around saying if you dare, if you DARE to disagree with, question, or just want some clarification on The Anointed One's murky policies, you, of course, of course, of course a million times, are...wait for it...a RACIST!!!!!!! They finally GOT one! Alert the media! No, they are already on high alert.

There are so many things wrong with this line of thinking it's hard to know where to start. I'll run down a few of the most obvious. The following is by no means a complete list.

1. Consider the source. This is coming from JIMMY CARTER. Why is everyone stopping what they are doing to listen to the worst president in history (to date...we've got someone anxiously following his great model now). Liberals, obviously longing for the days of gas lines, high unemployment and inflation and hostage crises, are slavishly taking notes as their guru spouts his wisdom.

2. Carter himself could genuinely be charged with racism, in the form of anti-Semitism. His policies regarding Israel and the Jews have been abhorrent, and from his presidency well into the present day, he hasn't stopped hating the Jews and railing against the state of Israel. Maybe that's why Carter is so in tune with the notion of racism. Takes one to know one.

3. During the campaign, we never stopped hearing admonitions of "If we don't elect Obama, the country is racist". Well, we elected him. That wasn't enough. We're still racist. The shouters during the 2008 presidential campaign never mentioned that at the time. See, that's what liberals do. They are constantly changing their standard. No one can measure up. They're so busy crying "racism" all the time they've forgotten what it means. I hope an actual racist never comes along. They'd be the boy who cried racist.

4. Obama is half black and half white. That never enters into the racist-accuser's agenda. Besides being totally against his policies, I'm also against his white half. (?) But, you know, being racist against whites is A-OK in their book. It never even occurred to them.

5. And finally, my trump card. According to the idiots without a coherent argument, if you are against Obama's policies, you are a racist. By that logic -- following their OWN logic -- we have to LIKE everything he does solely because of his race. Isn't THAT a racist policy? Preferring someone because of their race is racism. I just get the idea that Carter doesn't really even know his policies all that well. But if you dare to be against them, you are automatically graded "racist" like beef is graded "A". You know, with a big, immediate stamp. They only do that because they like to think there is no comeback to that. There is. The truth.

With their obsession with abortion rights, and their obsession with socialized medicine, liberals are gunning for the ultimate control of the American people: they want to decide who is born and who dies. Once again, THEY know much better than YOU. From their bubble, you're just a stupid, unwashed simpleton and they are our wise, all-knowing leaders. Clearly not satisfied with all the damage they've wreaked on the nation in their embarrassing history (they call it "change you can believe in"), now liberals have a figurehead with the massive, gargantuan arrogance to assume Americans are all clamoring for a government bureaucrat to tell them what medicine they need and what doctors they can and can't go to.

What Barry obviously does NOT understand is that freedom and capitalism are the things that made America the world's greatest superpower in 233 short years. Not socialism, communism, statism and collectivism. Those are concepts foreign to America, and trying to artificially impose them on this country is like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. It won't work, it can't work, and if it's such a brilliant idea, how come it hasn't worked yet? I mean, they are rushing, rushing, rushing to pass their liberal spending bills as fast as humanly possible. How come we're not basking in the socialist utopia yet?

So all along, the cure-all to all of society's ills is just to rob the money from those evil, dastardly "rich people". If we could only just impose PUNITIVE taxation on society's successes, the world could all join hands and sing like in that Coke commercial. Oh, Mr. Obama you are just so SMART! How has human civilization gotten along this far without your magic?
Needless to say, "rob from the achievers and give to the lazy" just won't cut it. Never mind that the so-called rich already pay incredibly high taxes, Never mind that they create jobs and invest money, which, of course, helps the economy. It's just so unbelievably infantile in its thinking. It seems like an idea a child in elementary school would have: "just take the money from rich people". It's so babyish, and so lacking in complexity and common sense, I suppose it's not hard to believe it's the best idea liberals have.

What The Minions fail to understand (that's what I call Barry, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Dodd, etc.) is that every American could give 100% of their income to the Government -- ALL of it -- and it STILL wouldn't be enough to fund their half-baked, simple-minded liberal fantasy list. They seem to have no problem with the fact that children that haven't even been born yet are going to help shoulder the burden of their totally irresponsible spending. Future generations should inherit a better world than the previous one. They shouldn't be born into a life of indentured servitude with a lower quality of life just for coming out of the womb in post-Obama America.
This is so unfair to future generations it's just maddening. Don't liberals have a conscience? But I suppose less people will be "punished with a baby" as Barry himself said, and his reputation as a hater and destroyer of wealth, and someone who lowers all of our quality of life in pursuit of an unattainable liberal dream, will be assured.
