So liberals are in full noise mode, but a new Gallup poll says that the majority see right through it and believes liberals are bringing up conservative rhetoric out of political opportunism. In addition, 72% say that more gun control wouldn’t have helped.

It really seems that since 2008, liberals have lost ability to convince the American people of anything. Of course, the left aren’t really aware of that because they tend to hang out with each other and see how convincing their arguments are to other liberals and thinks that means anything to the American people at large. And nothing — not even huge election losses — has woken them from their disconnect with normal people.

Just look at Bill Maher uncomfortable appearance on the tonight show. He’s so ignorant about the American people he’s now lashing out hatefully out of delusional fear. Apparently, he really thinks the hundred million conservatives out there are all about to kill him or something. They didn’t commit political violence last year or the year before that or the year before that, but any day now they’re coming for him! He’s sure of it! The completely unrelated violence in Tuscon only reminds him how imminent violent conservatives are. And they must be awful and violent because otherwise why would he hate them so much?

I’m not sure how you snap people out of that when they’re so entrenched in their own ignorance and filled with so much anger at their delusions of what other people are like. I guess we need some sort of tolerance program for liberals to expose them to more conservatives and learn not to be so hateful of them. Or we could say, “Shut up, hippie!” and punch them in the face. That’s kind of what the last election was, though, and that obviously didn’t get through to them.

Everyone knows that liberals hate the Constitution, but I explore why in my latest Pajamas Media column. Caution: May contain heated rhetoric that will instill in you the urge to kill.

I just want to announce that this blog is now 4G.

What does that mean? It means it’s better.

Better in what ways, you ask? I’ll tell you what ways it’s better in: Many.

So, if you go to any other blogs that are only 3G, remember that IMAO is a whole G better.

Now, we all know that no matter what Sarah Palin said about the murders in Tuscon, the left had to find something in her statement to squeal about like stuck pigs. What they’ve settled on is the term “blood libel” Sarah Palin used. Now, I assume they are admitting to using lies to try and connect their political opponents to murder, they just don’t like that term for it. So what would they prefer? Murderous lying? Bloody falsehoods? Depraved, ghoulish speech? Creating narratives?

Jim Geraghty has a list of other times people used the term “blood libel” that went by unremarked which is similar to the list I’ve seen of targets placed on political maps that went by unnoticed. But the left act outraged at Sarah Palin, more so than the Tuscon murders as that’s not as politically advantageous for them anymore. You have to start to wonder if some on the left has genuine outrage over anything anymore or is it only ever politics to them. If it hadn’t had popped into their head they could try and link the Tuscon shooting to politics they disagree with, would they even have cared?

The left has their narrative, and no amount of facts and evidence will dissuade them from it. If pressed, they’ll admit the shooting had nothing to do with political rhetoric but they still have can’t help themselves from trying to link the shooting with it as to them it’s a truth that exists outside of evidence — a religious faith. They’ve repeated over and over that the right arguing politics is going to lead to violence and they’ll believe it no matter what.

That’s why so many on the left were so excited by the Giffords shooting. They were convinced here was finally the proof of their religious faith about the right’s “dangerous rhetoric” and they could hardly contain their glee at the tragedy. When the facts came out and they didn’t get the prize they hoped for, they just couldn’t let go of their narrative because to them it’s so true no matter what happens in reality.

And that’s what the left has now — this whole fictional world built up on narratives absent of fact. And they’re really angry that no one outside the left is buying into these fictions anymore. They exist outside of reality and wonder why they can’t connect with people. And the more things turn against them, the more disconnected they get in response.

It’s 2011, and here is finally the sort of headline I expected to see in this year: “Laser cannons to defend ships from pirates”.

Of course, I expected it would be space pirates. And the lasers would incinerate them and not just blind them. And dinosaurs would fire the lasers. Still, it’s a start. I hope we see much more innovations in the future like this.

“This local 7-11 has a great new way to stop robberies: MISSILES FIRED FROM SPACE!”

“As a new weapon against drug dealers, police have deployed KATANA WIELDING ROBOTS!”

“This small Oklahoma town has an unusual person run their daycare: A NUCLEAR POWERED CYBORG!”

Let’s get working on more things like this. After all, it is THE FUTURE!

Here’s a quote Ramesh Ponnuru posted without comment that I will comment on:

“[T]wo ideological factors caused most Southern whites, including those who were not slave-owners, to defend slavery. First, Americans are wondrous optimists, looking to the upper class and expecting to join it someday. In 1860, many subsistence farmers aspired to become large slave-owners. So poor white Southerners supported slavery then, just as many low-income people support the extension of George W. Bush’s tax cuts for the wealthy now.”

I like to think I’m an understanding person, but I never for the life of me understood the left’s complete and utter freakout over the rich not getting their taxes raised. For the right, it was a pretty simple thing as we thought that was what’s best for the economy and we hold no animosity towards rich people and know we don’t get a special prize if they suffer, but for the left… I dunno. Maybe it’s just the concept that people like to keep money in the private sector is a bit like a rejection of everything the left stands for. Deep down the left know their time is over and everyone is disgusted by them — just like slave-owners knew near the end — but they can’t consciously admit it so they lash out. Well, whenever they reach that realization, slave-owners will keep a seat warm for the left in the dustbin of history.

Despite even liberals having to admit there is no evidence the Tuscon shooter was influenced by the right, they’re still hoping to capitalize on the event because they’re ghouls and have nothing better going on. Liberals have been starving for a while, and since they finally smell a little blood in the water, they’re in a complete frenzy. Also, they have it in their head that Bill Clinton recovered after 1994 because of the Oklahoma City bombing, so that means this shooting is Obama’s awesome opportunity!

Here’s a little bit of wisdom that needs to get repeated more often: History never repeats itself. Ever. I don’t know who came up with the expression to opposite effect, but it’s moronic. Or maybe I should say, “A watched history never repeats.” For one thing, the first time something happens, you don’t have people everywhere saying, “This is just like that other time, so here is what will probably happen…” And that’s the big difference: Expectations. What happens most of the time is people look back in history for results they want and try to force current events to fit the past. So what was organic and unpredictable the first time is now awkward and forced. For people who call themselves “progressives”, their heads are stuck in the past quite a lot. It’s like how liberals try to see every conflict like the civil rights battle because they feel that’s something they clearly won and want to repeat, but all it demonstrates is they never really understood what happened there.

So now liberals see a big tragedy as a political opportunity thinking of how in the past things vaguely similar led to political gains… except everyone now sees that’s what they’re doing and they’re exposed as ghoulish. that the left even failed to convince a majority of Democrats that heated rhetoric is to blame for the tragedy. So once again the left just keeps failing in big ways because of their disconnect from the general public; there’s just too much information out there now for their silly narratives to take hold.

So anyone else disturbed by the fact that the left keeps finding messages to kill in basic political rhetoric? This is like their talk about “racist dog whistles” where they claim this is stuff they’re afraid others will read into speech, yet they’re the only ones whoever see these hidden messages to be racist and to kill. Maybe eventually liberals will have some realization like at the end of The Sixth Sense where they look back at all the evidence and finally come to the truth that they’ve been the violent, racists all along and have just been projecting all their views onto others. Not holding my breath on liberals becoming self-aware before SkyNet does, but it could happen.
