The inescapable fact is that cities with a longtime liberal democratic government are poorer, dirtier, more crime ridden, and more lawless than cities with longtime conservative governments. This is fact. Anyone can write his biased spin here, but historical reality cannot be spun.
Simple common sense tells you that progressive liberalism is illogical.
1. Progressive Liberalism
cannot exist until conservatism has built a society of law and order that protects it from the consequences of its self-defeating ideas. This is why progressive liberals are so sparse in 3rd world societies.
2. Progressive Liberalism has built into its ethos, a tendency to deny reality for dogma. So, men can be women, All cultures are equally good, Women can do anything men can do, unborn babies are not human beings, citizenship and borders don't matter, money is a free and unlimited resource, and gender is a social construct. All nonsense.
3. Over and over throughout history, reality has proven Progressive Liberalism to be self-hobbling stupidity, and liberals
never learn. Liberals wanted to talk to Hitler, because in their dogma,
a) war is
always unrighteous,
b) men are basically good, and
c) violence never solves any problem. All proven bits of well intended stupidity.
At its core, liberalism places man himself as the
standard (touchstone) of morality. That is, whatever man deems moral, IS moral. And thus, pleasure becomes the greatest
moral good, (
homosexuality is pleasurable, thus good) and suffering becomes the greatest
moral evil (
poverty is painful, thus evil) All liberal doctrine flow from this core.
At its core, conservatism places the standard (touchstone) of morality outside of men, that is, morality is independent of men, therefore, what a man deems moral, IS not necessarily moral. And thus, pleasure may be moral good (sex in marriage)or moral evil, (sex in rape)and suffering may be moral good (sacrifice to save innocents)or moral evil (oppressing the poor), all conservative doctrine flow from this core.
You might have noticed that conservatism is a more mature, realistic, and nuanced belief system than progressive liberalism, which is too simplistic for the real world. This explains why most (not all) progressive liberals are younger, while most conservatives (not all) are older.
