Peter Schweizer is a Slanted Right person’s favorite thorn in the neck of hypocritical Liberals. He is the noted author of “Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy.” That book is a documentation of Liberals and Democrats that advocate altruistic causes yet violate the end game of the altruistic cause constantly.
I guess the latest Liberal hypocrisy is similar to Papal Indulgences used in the Middle Ages. The Papacy used the practice of Indulgences to sell Grace/Forgiveness to the buyer or for a dead person a buyer wanted assurance to score Heaven as a revenue venture.
This practice became so blatantly outrageous by Martin Luther’s day that he became emboldened to nail the famous “95 Theses” on the Chapel door of the University whence Luther taught in 1517. This marked the beginning of the Reformation and a separation of protesting Roman Catholic Christians from the Papal Authority of the Roman Catholic Church. Hence the emergence of multi-dimensional articles of faith that all had one thing in common – divestment of the authority of the Pope and the appellation of Protestant. The Protestants were calling Papal practices hypocritical because of divergence from forgiveness of Sins by repentance and accepting Jesus Christ as Savior. The Protestant accusation is that obvious sinners and unsure Christians could buy Salvation apart from the Redemptive Resurrection of Jesus Christ. This was pretty bold stuff for the day.
Twenty-first century Liberals have embarked on a similar path of hypocritical indulgences. It is called “Offsetting.” For example when a Liberal living in the real world drives a car or flies a Jet that pollutes the environment of the earth, they can offset their environmental sin by planting a tree or donating money to environmental activist organizations. Thus they have neutralized their environmental sin – over and over again as they participate in the reality of life. In this way a Liberal can delude themselves of their goodness and publicly heap shame on those who choose work in the real life and dream their goodness by self-made illusions.
Peter Schweizer hammers this home in an essay written in an USA Today Opinion Column. I sense a Liberal would dread to read the essay because it might dash the illusion under the light of reality. A Slanted Right person should read the essay to confront the hypocrisy the next time a deluded Liberal attempts to embarrass you in front of friends, family or co-workers with facts they themselves participate daily.
