The bestselling author of Liberal Fascism dismantles the
progressive myths that are passed-off as wisdom in our
schools, media and politics. According to Jonah Goldberg, if the greatest trick the Devil
ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist, the
greatest trick liberals ever pulled was convincing
themselves that they’re not ideological. Today, “objective” journalists, academics and “moderate”
politicians peddle some of the most radical arguments by
hiding them in homespun aphorisms. Barack Obama casts
himself as a disciple of reason and sticks to one refrain
above all others: he’s a pragmatist, opposed to the ideology
and dogma of the right, solely concerned with “what works.”
And today’s liberals follow his lead, spouting countless
clichés such as:
One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter:
Sure, if the other man is an idiot. Was Martin Luther King
Jr. a terrorist? Was Bin Laden a freedom fighter?
Violence never solves anything: Really? It solved our
problems with the British empire and ended slavery.
Better ten guilty men go free than one innocent man
suffer: So you won’t mind if those ten guilty men move next
door to you?
Diversity is strength: Cool.The NBA should have a quota
for midgets and one-legged point guards!
We need complete separation of church and state: In
other words all expressions of faith should be barred from
politics …except when they support liberal programs. With humor and passion, Goldberg dismantles these and many
other Trojan Horses that liberals use to cheat in the war of
ideas. He shows that the grand Progressive tradition of
denying an ideological agenda while pursuing it vigorously
under the false-flag of reasonableness is alive and well.
And he reveals how this dangerous game may lead us further
down the path of self-destruction.
