Left-Leaning AOL Moves To The Far, Far Left.

America OnLine has just become America's Organized Liberals. Once part of the liberal Time Warner family, AOL just purchased the radical far-left progressive "Huffington Post" and in the deal, Arianna Huffington was put in charge of all AOL content.

To offer some perspective, the Huffington Post is supported by George Soros, the world's wealthiest progressive socialist.

AOL apparently believes this acquisition will bolster their failing status, but I suspect it may backfire. Less than one in five Americans consider themselves liberal, and only 8% consider themselves far-left progressive liberals. That's a very small audience if non-liberals decide to make an exodus from AOL.

As for myself, I live by words of wisdom that come from my father. He always said a person, in order to be able to think himself a person of principle, must adhere to his principles. Do not support in any way anyone who acts in opposition to your principles.

For that reason I disassociate myself from any business that promotes or supports liberal causes. To do otherwise would be to help them with their agenda - an agenda I do not agree with. I simply do not want to support those who want to destroy that in which I believe. It simply would not make sense. Would a sane person pay someone else to beat him up?

So, when I learned Ben & Jerry's (ice cream) supported radical progressive causes, I stop buying their products. Same with Geico, Progressive, Time and anything else that would use my money to fund their causes. And now I find myself ending my relationship with AOL. It is long overdue.

It is true that this blog is hosted by the liberal GOOGLE. But I do not pay Google anything - this service is free. And if I can use their service for free, and have it help a more conservative cause, then that is fair play. I see it as adding a little balance to Google.

I know I have a lot of liberal readers, and they are welcome. I do not dislike liberals - I simply dislike their policies and agenda. You can disagree without being disagreeable. I view it the same way I view sin: do not hate the sinner - love the sinner but hate the sin. I have several gay friends whose friendship I cherish. But I disagree with their lifestyle and would not support it. I do not ask then to support my lifestyle, either - our friendship is based on mutual respect, not mutual beliefs.

Over the last few years I have posted a number of the "comments" posted to AOL by its readers. In most cases, the comments from the right would attack the policies or beliefs of the left. In contrast, the comments from the left attacked the PEOPLE on the right, not just their beliefs. There was so much bile and vicious hate in the posts by those on the left. There is a big difference between attacking a person's agenda and attacking the person personally. If a person must use slurs, insults and personal smears, then they have already lost the argument. The minute I see someone write something that includes words like "repukelican", or resort to phrases like "bunch of inbreds" , I immediately discount everything they have to say because they have nothing to say. And that is 90% of what you find on sites like Huffington Post, Media Matters and Daily Kos, which often call for the deaths of conservatives, and even post hateful attacks against prominent conservatives who have just died. Tony Snow comes to mind. You will never, ever see that sort of repulsive behavior on places like Fox News.

As for me, I do not condone repulsive behavior. And I will not knowingly support anyone who does. And that is why my association with AOL is over.

You all must make your own call on this. You can choose to be a person of principle and either support or abandon AOL and other businesses based on their connection with your own beliefs, or you can just sit back and "sin by silence" and pay someone to beat you up.

For the record, here are examples of comments from AOL:

[MY REPLY] Here we have both ends of a conversation - the first part is a conservative expressing a valid point in a civil manner. The second part is a typical liberal's response - not exactly civil or valid. Again with the insults, smears and personal attacks, for no reason. The conservative said nothing out-of-bounds.

MChill36 HAHAHAHAHAHA..............I LAUGH AT ANY BUSH LOVER BECAUSE THEY BREATH SMELLS LIKE DICK AND HAIRY BALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MY REPLY] Let us not be blind - these people on the left are filthy, foul, and absolutely, positively uninformed, uneducated and ignorant. No, that is not a personal attack - as you can see from these actual posts, it is a fact. This fellow, for example, is slinging filthy personal insults against millions of Americans he has never even met. How ignorant and hateful is that?


Look, folks, I have compiled thousands of these vile, hateful, ignorant posts. I really do not mind having a good debate between the right and the left, but how can there be such a meaningful discussion if those on the left resort to name-calling, foul language, insults, smears and personal attacks? Are there no liberals out there who know the meaning and importance of respect? Tolerance? Civility? Honesty? Integrity? Are there none with any intellect? Even an ability to spell would at least show education.

If you think that this is not a true representation, all you need to do is spend an evening on AOL reading the reader's comments to the news stories. You will see exactly what I have seen, as I have been following these for months. The above are not made up, nor are they the exceptions to the rule. If you read them, keep an unbiased open mind, and judge the posts not by their "position" on issues but on the post, itself, you will draw the same conclusion - liberals tend to be uneducated, uninformed, angry, hateful, foul-mouthed and full of vitriol. They resort to personal smears and attacks, insults, and they tend to think only their opinions are worth anything. They believe that those who disagree should either shut up, or die, or both. They tend to make up their own facts to fit their beliefs, and often get their "news" from non-credible sources such as SNL, Huffington Post, or the Daily Kos. Or AOL...
