Idiot Liberal Sees Feel-Good Story, Decides We Need Moral Improvement

Awww! You would think everyone’s natural sympathy would overwhelm their critical capacity, but fear not: Idiot Liberal™ is here!

Ace completely dismantled her on Twitter.

It’s an attitude once riotously spoofed in a Saturday Night Live sketch, “Fondue Forks for Namibia.” There is a fascination with the exotic that I’ve sometimes called xenophilia: A preference for distant people and foreign cultures, as if one’s own nation or community — one’s family, friends and neighbors — were unworthy of interest or respect. (Xenophilia’s obverse is oikophobia, fear of the familiar.)

This is the secular liberal’s version of Christian missionary zeal, and it has been a cliché at least since Randall Jarrell mocked it in Pictures from an Institution, published in 1954.

Speaking of doing something to help children, how about not killing them in the womb? Isn’t that a way to help the world? And then raising them up to be hard-working and responsible, so that they can support themselves and maybe — just maybe — do a little something useful with their lives. Because you know, I’ve got six kids of my own.

My oldest worked her way through college, graduated summa cum laude and is now teaching the children of Haitian immigrants at a Christian school. So maybe you could say I’ve done my share, indirectly at least, for the whole “solving societal ills” thing.

But it’s never enough for liberals. Their hearts are so overflowing with compassion for the downtrodden and oppressed that they must constantly lecture the rest of us about our moral inferiority.

    I’m reminded of the Mad TV skit where Sally Struthers destroys a poor African village by showing them how miserable their lives are from her enlightened point of view, so the Third World starts a fund to Keep Sally Struthers Home.

    Oh, and those Marines over there right now handing out food to the Filipinos? Not doing enough. They should be back in California wringing their hands.

    The obscene charge that Make A Wish is RACIST… I got stuck on that one. The stupid moral superiority and self congratulation of the woman hardly made a dent. Really… she thinks it’s okay to just throw that racialist turd bomb out to the world? That and *still* think of herself as a good person?

    My cousin’s foster kids are Navajo. One of the girls had some obscure childhood disease and the whole family was sent to Disneyworld for a vacation because that’s what she wanted. I assume that if a sick kid of any background, who otherwise met make-a-wish criteria, wished to fight crime with Batman, it would happen. But it has to be the kids idea.

    A leftist would retort with something along the lines of “That little brown girl was just a token exception that proves the rule I asserted, racist” or something equally asinine.
