I teach literature at the university where I work. I put together the text for the course. The first semester is poetry. The text has four Kipling poems in it, one being IF. Now, once again we have a liberal making suggestions to someone he is clueless about. Please go back and count how many times I have given you advise or made suggestions on what you should or should not do. My brother suggest I do a lot of things daily and he, too, is very much a superior being known as a liberal. Only such a person who honestly believes he or she is superior or actually has some authority dare make suggests on what people should or should not do.

My comment on the poem was to point out that just because you think you are right, especially in the political arena, does not make you right. Both of us cannot possibly be right. But then again, I am not the one who is calling people liars without evidence. Most of the time I simply have said that some liberals may be a tad bit biased in their thinking. If these same liberals would admit that they are biased, I would not be so down on their philosophy. I simply have met very few liberals who will admit they are wrong. Notice Murtha did not admit he was wrong and apologize, he simply stated, “the surge is working.”

My theory on this inability to admit one’s mistakes publicly is very simple and very biased. The liberal philosophy is tied together with knots of lies like a giant quilt. If one of those knots come lose, the whole thing will come crashing down so those who are caught in lies tap dance, rationalize or discount to keep from admitting they are wrong. I believe firmly that the whole liberal philosophy is based upon lies.

Just curious, Dr. Nutslikebush, is it because who have not challenged me enough here and that is why I am still hanging around. Once you give me a challenge, do you still expect me to leave? That fairy dust can be very bothersome, huh .

Very appropriate poem which pretty well sums up what I have been saying about liberals who spend their time spreading lies in the face of solid truth. The truth seems not to be a part of their mental makeup. The Jameson Raid by 500 Brits was a defeat twisted into victory.

Let me rephrase so you and the other liberals friends here will understand. The Jameson Raid was a defeat. That is factual. That is truth. Twisting it into a victory in one’s mind does not alter the original fact. You may think you know the truth but you better ask yourself, “Is it twisted to fit my biases or is it really the truth?”

I have twisted nothing.

If you can wait
And not get tired of waiting
And when lied about
Stand tall
Don’t deal in lies
And when hated
Don’t give in to hating back
Don’t need to look so good
Don’t need to talk too wise.

If you can dream
And not make dreams your master
If you can think
And not make intellect your game
If you can meet
With triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same

If you can force your heart
And nerve and sinew
To serve you
After all of them are gone
And so hold on
When there is nothing in you
Nothing but the will
That’s telling you to hold on!
Hold on!

If you can bear to hear
The truth you’ve spoken
Twisted and misconstrued
By some smug fool
Or watch your life”s work
Torn apart and broken down
And still stoop to build again
With worn out tools.

If you can draw a crowd
And keep your virtue
Or walk with Kings
And keep the common touch
If neither enemies nor loving friends
Can hurt you
If everybody counts with you
But none too much.

If you can fill the journey
Of a minute
With sixty seconds worth of wonder and delight
Then
The Earth is yours
And Everything that’s in it
But more than that
I know
You’ll be alright.
