‘Meet the Liberal Elite’ from Battlefield315.com

Here are some excerpts from the video (compliments of Battlefield315.com):

• Liberal Elites

Conservative: It’s nice to meet you.

Liberal: Nice to meet you too Dave. I’m a liberal.

Conservative: Oh no. Why?

Liberal: Liberal elites are the brightest and best people to make decisions for everyone else.

Conservative: So you think the answer is to give the rich and powerful elites even more power and influence?

Liberal: Yes.

• Taxes and Big Government

Conservative: Isn’t it selfish to take people’s money and tell them what to do?

Liberal: Not if you do it to help them.

Conservative: When I want to help people, I give money to charity.

Liberal: That’s why you will never change the world. Government programs are much better.

Conservative: When was the last time a government program helped you?

Liberal: Cash For Clunkers

Conservative: Did you really use Cash For Clunkers? Or is that the only name you can remember?

Liberal: I almost used it. It almost helped me.

Conservative: I see.

Liberal: Also, I will eventually receive Social Security.

Conservative: Do you really think Social Security will still be functioning by the time you retire?

Liberal: It’s possible.

Conservative: I have a feeling Social Security is another program that will almost help you.

• Creationism and Evolution

Liberal: Republicans are against science.

Conservative: How so?

Liberal: They are creationists.

Conservative: And you’re not?

Liberal: Of course not. I am an atheist.

Conservative: How do you think the Universe began?

Liberal: It appeared very suddenly. There were tremendous forces involved.

Conservative: You think the world magically appeared out of nothing. Doesn’t that make you a creationist?

• Patriotism and Discrimination

Liberal: Republicans are too patriotic. They don’t understand the horrible things that our country has done.

Conservative: Can you give an example?

Liberal: Slavery.

Conservative: The Republican Party was founded to stop that. America was not in favor of slavery, just the Democrats.

Liberal: America treated women as second-class citizens.

Conservative: The Republican Party got women the right to vote. The Democrats tried to stop them.

Liberal: Segregation, the KKK, Jim Crow laws.

Conservative: The Democrats were responsible for all of those things.

Liberal: Attacking the Native Americans.

Conservative: Democrats.

Liberal: Internment of Japanese Americans.

Conservative: Democrats.

• Affirmative Action and Racism

Liberal: Republicans are bad because they are against affirmative action.

Conservative: Can you think of any good reason to discriminate against people for being white or Asian?

Liberal: White people deserve to be punished for their history of discrimination.

Conservative: That’s the history of the white Democrats, remember? White Republicans opposed them.

Liberal: Distinguishing between good and bad white people would be an administrative burden.

Conservative: So why should we discriminate against Asians?

Liberal: Their test scores are too high. They work too hard.

Conservative: Maybe that’s because affirmative action requires Asians to get higher and higher test scores to get into college.

Liberal: We will break them eventually. Then we will all be equal.

Conservative: I can see how much you enjoy helping people.

Liberal: Affirmative action is only temporary.

Conservative: Really? When will it end?

Liberal: Maybe in twenty years.

Conservative: Didn’t people say that twenty years ago? And twenty years before that?

Liberal: I’m too young to remember that.

• Martin Luther King Jr.

Conservative: Didn’t Martin Luther King say that we should judge people by the content of their character rather than the…

Liberal: Please stop. I know what you are going to say. I hate that quote. I wish he never said that.

Conservative: Sorry.

Liberal: Affirmative action is necessary to fight anti-black discrimination.

Conservative: If anti-black discrimination is so rampant, then why are immigrants from Africa so economically successful?

Liberal: I think you may be a racist.

Readers get the gist of it. Other parts of the debate touch on global warming, illegal immigration, gerrymandering, media bias, and a few other hot topics. For readers that enjoyed the humorous cartoon, there are a dozen more at Battlefield315.com dedicated solely to each individual topic. We chose this video because it seemed to encompass them all.
