On Friday, I got a call from LC.  His phone call started off very reasonable, until he came out with this one line that seems to be pervasive amongst ignorant liberals (redundant?): “You don’t believe in any government.”

This is such the standard rhetorical absurdity liberals love to use in response to conservatives, and they use it in response to a breadth of issues.  Let’s take healthcare, for example.  When conservatives say that they are opposed to ObamaCare – which I promise you are going to hate – generally it is because conservatives support private sector, competitive free market approaches to healthcare instead of more government.  So you tell a liberal that this how you think we should solve our healthcare problems in this country and their response generally sounds like this, “Oh, so you don’t want people to have healthcare!”  Huh??  Uh, no.  Why is it that liberals seem to assume that government and bureaucracy are the only proper ways to provide a service?  The private sector can do an even better job of providing this service, yet liberals reduce this down to “Oh, so you don’t want people to have healthcare.”  Amazing.

The same can be said for environmental policy.  If you point out the fact that EPA regulations have gone too far or their application sometimes lack common sense, “Oh, so you are for dirty air!  You want dirty water!”  That is so typical for how liberals argue with conservatives.

And it is this lack of liberal logic which ultimately dooms their success in talk radio.  Trust me, I would LOVE to have more competition in talk radio.  Heck, I even donated to keep Air America afloat because I truly believe that the more competition the better.  But the fact is that the liberals couldn’t compete.  Why?  Because of their inability to approach a subject logically.  They are incapable of discussing legitimate, responsible ways to reduce the role of government so they immediate jump to this idiotic line, “Oh, so you don’t want government .. or you want dirty air.”  And after a few days of listening to that nonsense, people simply tune out.  They quickly realize that these proggies are morons and thus their liberal talk shows fail.
