You have to give liberalism a certain amount of credit. It doesn’t work, destroys lives, and pits people against each other, but that’s not to say that there are no advantages to being a liberal. Sure, you may end up sleeping in a tent in Zuccotti Park, reading Noam Chomsky’s laughably ignorant books, or having to watch Rachel Maddow babble incoherent nonsense on MSNBC, but the fringe benefits cannot be beaten!

My cmnt: My comments are in italics beneath each number.

1) If you’re a politician, no matter how dumb you are or how poor your decision-making is, the press will still never question your intelligence.

This goes double for Camela Harris and Joe O’Biden, two of the most gaffe-prone imbeciles to ever inhabit high office. When you look up “gaffe” in the dictionary it has a photo of old Joe as illustration.

2) You can claim to personally speak for everyone in your gender or racial group, like you’re their leader, and the press will take you seriously.

Top examples are asking Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson or The Squad their opinions on anything remotely related to black people or Muslims in America or Elizabeth Warren her opinions on native Americans.

3) You can feel completely superior to people who are more admired, more influential, richer, happier, more successful, and just generally better than you in almost every way (like Sarah Palin) because they’re conservatives.

4) You can declare that other people should have their money taken away and given to the government and still get credit for being “compassionate” even if you give nothing yourself.

Example: When Algore was vice president his tax returns showed that he and Tipper gave a few hundred dollars to charity and Bill Clinton gave his used underwear. (See note below)

5) You can leave a woman to die at the bottom of a tidal pool, use crack, or have a gay prostitution ring run out of your apartment and other liberals will STILL vote for you.

This refers to Ted Kennedy leaving Mary Jo Kopechne to drown in the car he drove off the road at Chappaquikkick while drunk. Ted made it to land but left Mary Jo as he was worried about his own political career and did not report the incident until the next day.

Rep. Barney Frank’s (D) much younger homosexual lover was running a prostitution ring out of their shared apartment. Naturally Barney knew nothing about it. Frank was largely responsible for the trillion dollar plus subprime mortgage fiasco by pushing banks to make irresponsible loans to democrat voters.

Mary Jo Kopechne was an American secretary, and one of the campaign workers for U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy’s 1968 presidential campaign, a close team known as the “Boiler Room Girls”. . Wikipedia – Ted Kennedy like his brother JFK was a #MeToo abuser of young women before #MeToo was coined.

6) You can suggest that black Americans are too incompetent to handle something as simple as getting a photo ID without being called racist.

7) You can use capitalism to make huge piles of money and then turn right around and score brownie points with your fellow liberals by ripping an economic system that made it possible for you to actually become filthy rich writing, making music, or acting for a living.

Too many well-known democrat examples to bother listing them.

8) No matter how many insults you lob at people you disagree with or how determined you are to refuse to listen to their arguments, you will never feel as if you’re being uncivil or close minded.

9) You can be a white man who calls himself the first black President without getting in trouble with Al Sharpton and be a serial adulterer who even cheats with an intern without getting in trouble with NOW.

That is the National Organization of Women. This is of course referring to Slick Willie.

10) You can go an entire lifetime without having a single kind thing to say about America and still consider yourself to be patriotic.

That would be Hillary but more specifically Michelle Obama and Rev. Wright.

11) Similarly, you can disregard the Bible, ignore slurs aimed at Christianity, and mock people who take their religious beliefs seriously and still consider yourself to be a Christian.

White Christians are the only group of citizens anyone, especially Liberals, are allowed, no encouraged, to disparage and mock and lie about.

12) You can be perfectly fine with cheating on your own taxes while you call other people “greedy” for not wanting to pay higher taxes themselves.

13) If you’re a minority, you can actually hold a prominent media job centered around regularly accusing other people of being racists.

14) You’ll be considered “courageous” by your left-wing friends when you get up in front of a group of liberals and say things that all of you believe to be true.

15) If you run for office, you’ll get questions like, “(Do you think your opponents are) uninformed, out of touch, or irresponsible?” from the media while your opponents will be getting asked questions that start with the presumption that they hate half the country or their economic policies couldn’t possibly work.

16) You can be a former KKK member who drops the N-bomb on TV and people will still deny you’re a racist.

17) You can ride around in an SUV, fly on a private jet, and have a mansion while you lecture other people about the importance of having a small environmental footprint and other liberals won’t have a problem with it at all.

18) You can claim to hold the exact same position as conservatives on gay marriage and you won’t be called a homophobe.

19) You can regularly call conservative women sluts, whores, tw_ts, and even the C-word and still call yourself a feminist without other people laughing out loud.

20) You get to feel comfortable with lying to other people because you know what’s in their own best interests better than they do and if they were a little more enlightened — like you — they’d thank you for misleading them into doing the right thing!

Note on Algore giving:

Gores’ Charitable Giving Raises Some Eyebrows

WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, April 15, 1998) — In a 34-page 1997 federal tax return, Vice President Al Gore and wife Tipper reported giving $353 to charity, an amount much lower than donations the family has made in previous tax cycles.

That figure is less than one-tenth the typical contribution amount for someone with the Gores’ adjusted gross income of $197,729. That fact has caused some bewilderment in philanthropic circles because of the vice president’s “good guy” image as an advocate for public service and social causes, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday.

“I would assume that he would want to do something to demonstrate that he was being socially responsible through his giving … ” Stacy Palmer, managing editor of the Chronicle of Philanthropy, told the Times.

The vice president’s office responded by urging that the Gores be judged by their history of giving, not just the dollar figure from one year’s tax return. Aides also said some donations could not be claimed on the form, including church contributions and Mrs. Gore’s donations of food and clothing to the homeless.

“Contributing financially to charitable organizations is certainly noble and should be encouraged and is something that the Gores have done when the resources were there,” said Chris Lehane, a spokesman for the vice president. “However, to truly judge a person’s commitment to helping others, you need to consider what they have done with their lives and how they have spent their time — and by that standard the Gores are extraordinarily committed.”

The giving pattern of the Gores has been erratic over the years. Last year they gave $35,530, most of which came from the proceeds of Mrs. Gore’s book, “Picture This.”

In 1992, aided by the royalties of Gore’s book, “Earth In The Balance,” the couple donated $52,558. Most of that — $50,000 — went to the University of Tennessee to endow a chair in memory of Gore’s late sister.

During the years in between the Gores did not itemize their tax returns, and therefore no charitable donation statistics are available for that period.

But this year’s $353 ranks very low by national standards. The Times reported that a survey by the pro-philanthropy Independent Sector shows the average American household gave $696 to charity in 1996.

IRS figures rank the Gores’ 1997 level far below the average for households in their income bracket. Among households reporting income of $100,000 to $200,000 in 1995, the last year for which information is available, charitable contributions averaged $3,377.

But experts point out that a single household’s donations vary greatly from year to year. And Gore’s defenders also argue that despite the vice president’s salary, he has two daughters enrolled at Harvard University and a son in a private secondary school.

My cmnt: So when the Gore’s received money from their political positions which allowed their otherwise unsaleable books to receive royalties they kindly gave some of the money to charity. Also most people who attend Harvard pay little of the actual tuition. Harvard’s endowment is one of the largest in the world.

Harvard costs what your family can afford. We make sure of that.

• For families who earn between $75,000 and $150,000, the expected contribution is between zero and ten percent of your annual income.

If your family’s income is less than $75,000, you’ll pay nothing.

• Families who earn more than $150,000 may still qualify for financial aid.
• For more than ninety percent of American families, Harvard costs less than a public university.
• All students receive the same aid regardless of nationality or citizenship.
