The Cult of Liberalism

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Kings and Queens once believed their right to rule was divinely granted.  The assumed divine authority of today's politicians is not presumed to resonate from Heaven, but from the revered ideology they are members of.  American Liberalism has elevated itself beyond the realm of God, leaving the definition of being a mere political philosophy long behind.  Liberalism in the United States has broken the restraints constraining it to mere political thought, and has itself become a religion.

Members of the liberal left accuse religious groups of being intolerant, and close minded.  Their accusations of dogmatism, however, are simply a case of the pot calling the kettle black.  Liberalism seeks meaning of its own kind, and has found it in the continuing expansion of big government.  Salvation lies in dependency on the government, according to the leftists, where the saving grace of welfare programs, powerful liberal judges providing the holy water of liberal rulings, and the liberation of individuals from the heretical views of philosophies not in line with liberalism, forms the foundation for their religion.

Liberalism depends on faith in unproven theories that have a history of failure when applied.  Civilizations have fallen under the guidance of liberal principles, yet somehow the faithful believes that this time, under the control of this crop of socialists, liberalism can be a success.  It has only failed in the past, according to today's leftists, because not enough money was pumped into the cause, or because the opposition was too strong.

As with most cults that are theocratic in nature, like Islam's cult of the false prophet Muhammad, liberalism must force their dogma on the public, using legal force, deception, and propaganda.  Unlike Christianity, which promises a relationship with Christ if you decide to voluntarily make that individual choice, liberalism is a religion of collectivism, where the members are a part of a larger hive, relinquishing their individuality for the betterment of the agenda.  Liberalism is something that must be asserted, rather than discussed, or decided upon voluntarily.  Liberalism promises freedom from the value system offered by Christians and conservatives, freedom from the dogma of religion, and bondage under their own system of topsy-turvy values, where the new morality dictates what one can eat, how much energy one can use, and a complete surrender of individual property, be it real estate, fire arms, cigarettes, sugary foods, or a soda of more than 16 ounces.

Masses of people follow this mindset, marching off a cliff.  They relinquish the responsibility for their lives, and future, for alleged security as dependents on the government system.  They let go of their freedom.  Choice becomes a lost luxury, for the only choice becomes the government choice.

To be a part of the liberalism cult, you must believe and embrace their doctrine and rules of conduct, or else you are a hater, a phobic, or extremist that must be silenced at all costs.  This ensures that outside contamination does not get to the members of the religion of liberalism.  Only the message of the collective can be received, and reinforced, continuously.  Obedience is rewarded with adoration, acceptance, and the allowance to remain a part of the liberal collective.  As long as the liberal either understands the true nature and is a believer, or never questions his faith regardless of how much knowledge of the true agenda the comrade may have, they will remain a part of the cult of liberalism for life.

The ease in which someone is kept in the hive is partially due to the psychology.  The liberal left promotes the concept that they are the ruling elite.  Their doctrine and beliefs are right, and everyone else's is wrong, and resistance is futile.  The members of the collective are also a part of it because they have been convinced that to do otherwise would be to embrace hate, racism, and radical extremism.  In 2012, many of the votes that Obama received were not because of the love of the incumbent president that the media tells us is out there, but because the voters were against Romney, fearful of him, believing the lies spread by the propaganda machine that were designed to turn voters away from him and either not vote at all, or change their vote to the democrats.

Liberalism claims to have found the way to utopia, a hidden passage that only they are aware of, and this is what sets them apart from socialist systems of the past.  It is them versus the world.  Liberals are taught they must remain in the hive, fighting for the collective, for if they don't the world will collapse into an ecological disaster (which, the democrats are saying, would turn women into prostitutes - yes, it sounds ridiculous, but this shows how well the indoctrination has worked.  People believe this crap), or an economic nightmare where rich plutocrats and corporatists rule with an iron fist, or a world where religious extremists will force them to act a certain way under the rigid morality that is no fun at all.

The liberal left understands that in order to gain troops, and keep them under the fold, they must change the beliefs of the potential liberals while attacking society, eliminating any opposition, silencing any dissent, and convincing the followers that without liberalism, the world will collapse into an apocalyptic hell.

"The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism." - Karl Marx

The cult of liberalism believes they are in the final stages of transforming America into the socialist utopia they have been fighting for.  Only a pesky few stand in the way, they believe.  They attack what they fear, and destroy what stands in their way.

As does all tyrannies, the liberal left has gone after the children. The public schools have become indoctrination centers where dissent to liberalism is not tolerated, God has been kicked out, and theories are taught as if they are fact.  The liberal universities have done so well in their indoctrination of young minds that, to give an example, a recent Harvard student writer has gone so far as to say that free speech must be eliminated, for it endangers liberalism.

The Harvard student wrote that no speech opposing liberalism should be tolerated, and in fact all dissenting speech should be abolished.  Professors with dissenting views should be fired.  She wrote that the university should stop guaranteeing professors and students the right to hold controversial views and pursue research that challenges liberalism.

The title of the piece was, "Let’s give up on academic freedom in favor of justice."

The Harvard writer also wrote that when a Harvard summer school instructor who was dismissed for his anti-Islamic views, it was a triumph.  She also invoked the academic boycott of Israel.

Another left-wing college student at Swarthmore College also embraced the idea of rejecting intellectual freedom.  Her fury emerged regarding her university committing the unforgivable sin by allowing a conservative speaker, and a Christian thinker to boot, Robert George, to speak on campus.  

Pro-life students at the University of Alabama were victims of a similar belief that conservative views should not be publicly espoused on campus when their efforts were censored.

And at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, merely emailing an inoffensive image of President Barack Obama kicking a door triggered an investigation, and the perpetrator was forced to apologize for being racist.

The religion of liberalism has so permeated the population that people like these examples I just gave you are easily willing to take away the rights of others for the sake of their liberal agenda.  Disagreement with Obama is racism.  Failure to allow the gay agenda to force upon Christianity their views is homophobia, and anyone who stands up for their religious liberties are being pursued through the courts for "discrimination" - and it is all by design, a psychological war designed to destroy all opposition, and silence all Christians.  Wearing an American Flag shirt at school on Cinco de Mayo, students were sent home, and the courts have found that their actions were racist (wearing a shirt with a Mexican flag on it on the Fourth of July, in the eyes of these radicals, is just fine).  

Your right to free speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of expression, are not the only rights they are after, either.  The religion of liberalism has the leftists convinced that any right that challenges their dogma must be taken away.  The anti-gun agenda of the liberal democrats is legendary, from the fast and furious scandal, to the gun confiscation going on right now in a number of States, the drive to disarm their opposition is in full swing.  A great example of how far the followers have gotten in their belief that taking the rights of the opposition is a good thing is a story about the St. Louis Chief of Police, who says, "I understand the Second Amendment, and I understand everyone’s right, or their belief that they have a right to bear arms.  It doesn’t give them a right to use that weapon.”

In Connecticut, a State Police spokesman told a citizen she "sounded anti-American for questioning the State's gun control law."

Video footage has emerged, as well, showing FEMA training for mass gun confiscation.

Remember, leftists believe that patriotism is love of government.  Dissent against the government when the liberal left is in control is anti-American.

They even want to take away your right to smoke "electronic cigarettes," which have served as a safe and non-offensive alternative to real cigarettes.  The leftists attack it because though it may not technically be smoking, it resembles it too much, and could be a "gateway" to smoking cigarettes.  Oh, by the way, they are still pushing for the legalization of marijuana.

The cult of liberalism is willing to use anything and everything to destroy, and silence, their opposition.  Even after an IRS scandal that exposed the agency targeted conservative groups, and republican donors pulled back funds as a result of fear the IRS might go after them next, the liberals are ready to use the IRS again for their bullying and voter suppression.  The IRS is now going after "fat cat donors" in an effort to silence and punish dissent as the next election approaches.  A new regulation was instituted redefining "common voter information activities by re-naming them 'candidate-related political activity.'"  It is a gag rule, designed to silence speech that is against liberalism, and more specifically, President Obama.  The new rule targets 501(c)(4) which is principally used by TEA Party groups to conduct voter education campaigns.  The new regulation is designed to intimidate and stall the creation of conservative groups by delaying their tax status.

The plan is to make all Americans members of the cult, whether they like it, or not.  They call it equality, but what they mean is redistribution to the point that all of the "capitalist wealthy" are destroyed, and the peasant class is equal in misery.

The cult has grown in power, strength, and control.  The key to stop it is to convince the faithful to question what they believe, to educate the nation, to get to the younger generation.  Otherwise, we will be as Reagan predicted.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - Ronald Reagan
