“The least initial deviation from the truth is multiplied later a thousand-fold.” (Aristotle)[1]
Con-fraud-ulations to the Left! At every turn present-day Leftists of every
stripe,[2]
who parade themselves as champions of science and rationality, have exposed by
their practices, their fears of submitting their positions to the light of
scrutiny. In actuality the Left habitually
practices the following:
·
In their academic studies and personal research
projects, Leftists both cherry-pick and seek for sources of choice that merely
advance their prejudicial agendas, as opposed to seeking unadulterated truth for
the purpose of correcting their views in light of compelling new knowledge.[3]
·
They censor data which conflicts with their agenda.[4] This ploy has been vividly expressed both at
a personal level by, for example, their refusal to watch footage of this
past summer’s rioting that implicates the Democrat Party, and publicly, by
the refusal of Google and Face-book-owned networks to broadcast the
nightly damage on TV.[5] Consequently both parties are guilty.[6]
·
Certain Leftist politicians, especially,
chronically refuse to engage in dialogue with people they differ with. They instead prefer public grandstanding to submitting
to give-and-take dialogue.[7]
·
They also refuse to answer questions about their
official conduct that is highly-consequential.[8]
·
Similarly, the Left refuses to acknowledge their
own mistakes even though they either magnify or even invent charges of, for
example, systemic racism against people on the political Right.[9]
·
Similarly, with respect to accountability, they
apply one standard to themselves while imposing another standard onto the political
Right. For example, the Left spent four
years seeking to impeach Donald Trump (without any evidence), while now opposing
investigating potential fraud in this recent Presidential race, in spite of substantial
evidence that supports this claim.
·
The Left’s propensity to impose imperatives
on others is incoherent and self-contradictory.
For example, although they reject morality for allegedly being conceptually
invalid, they insist on compliance by individuals and they demand social
restructuring in order to carry out decrees that are derived from the
“insights” of unaccountable leaders of cancel-culture.[10]
·
During this recent Presidential campaign, the
Left expressed utter indifference over the virtual absence of Joe Biden from
the public eye. In part this ploy shielded
his real goals from public exposure. Had
Donald Trump campaigned similarly, the Left would have denounced him.
·
Biden campaigned on virtually no positive
agenda and was held accountable to no criteria at all except for “not being Trump.” Had the roles been reversed, Trump would have
been vivisected.
The grounds then for seeking to recount the recent Presidential
election results are that Leftism has in numerous ways demonstrably proven that
there are no intellectual grounds to trust them at all!
