The Face of Liberalism in Kentucky

Here is an example of the level of discourse the Left believes in utilizing to reach its ends. It's smut. It's emotional. It's uneducated. It's bizarre. It's insane.

It is what Cyberhillbilly has been writing about (and here, and here).

There is no discussion - only guilt infliction, unusual behavior, and attempts to shame the ignorant and the weak into submission with misinformation and unrealistically small answers to big questions. It is where one believes what one wants to believe regardless of reality.

It's a shame that Representative John Yarmuth (D - KY / San Francisco) was actually seen at the event where the photo was taken jubilantly embracing one of these short-sighted, nasty individuals. It's a shame for the people of Yarmuth's district and, in fact, embarrassing to Louisville's many sensible people. It is up to these sensible people to speak out their opinions on Yarmuth's behavior.

It reminds me of how The Federalist Papers, written over two centuries ago, still apply to our society today.

a dangerous ambition more often lurks behind the specious mask of zeal for the rights of the people than under the forbidding appearance of zeal for the firmness and efficiency of government. History will teach us that the former has been found a much more certain road to the introduction of despotism than the latter, and that of those men who have overturned the liberties of republics, the greatest number have begun their career by paying an obsequious court to the people, commencing demagogues and ending tyrants.
