The REAL Agenda Exposed

Sane Nation has uncovered the "hidden" agenda behind liberalism. What a scoop. We've all suspected it, but no one has quite ever come right out and SAID it...before now.

Kudos to San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsome for capturing the very essence of contemporary liberalism in his recent statement declaring What Must Be Done About Pit Bulls in San Francisco:

"You've got dogs that literally can kill. We've seen it demonstrated. If we can't change people's behavior and make them think what's in their best interests, then that's where government comes along and becomes a bit paternalistic" (San Francisco Examiner, June 6, print edition; for some reason not available at the Examiner's Web site).

If Newsome's statement had been a touchdown or field goal, I'd gladly play the statement back several times (including slow mo) to take the full measure of the event. But we're stuck with print, so we'll have to let italics and bold type make the point. Here again is the money quote:

"If we can't change people's behavior and make them think what's in their best interests, then that's where government comes along and becomes a bit paternalistic."

Perfect, bingo, yes! The primary goal of liberal activist government is to change people's behavior by making them (read: forcing them to) think what's in their "best interests." Who's best situated to determine what's in people's best interests — the people themselves? No way. Leave it to Gavin Newsome and the crew of social(ist) engineers in San Francisco city government. Here's the scary part: Newsome's a moderate in SF politics. (Don't even ask me about Chris Daly, a city supervisor who makes Kim Jong-il seem conciliatory by comparison.)

So, listen up, folks, because this is important. Those on the left see it as their DUTY to decide what is right and best for us all. Because, of course, we cannot think for ourselves. And, and when we try to think, we always get it WRONG. We must have our behavior changed, and if that doesn't work, our very thoughts themselves should be manipulated to fall more in line with what the Dems feel is best. Only then will we be saved from ourselves.

But, go read the rest of it at Sane Nation, because they do a much better job of blathering about it that I do.
