Stupid Left, Satanic Left
The two are very different, although they work together. People who are part of the first are simply stupid people. People who are part of the second may in fact be quite shrewd, but are evil and nefarious. There is no third type of leftist.
Over time, the Stupid Left has been losing its numbers, as many Stupid Leftists either become smarter or morph into Satanic Leftists, and so desist from being mere Stupid Leftists. So a process of selection is occurring whereby the strength of the Satanic Left within the overall Left grows. The anti-American demonstrations we have been witnessing in Europe and the United States are attended by both kinds of Leftists, although they were organized by Satanic Leftists.
The Stupid Left is anti-American because it thinks people in America are oppressed, poor, mistreated and that America is an evil country. The Satanic Left is anti-American precisely because it knows the opposite is the case.
The Stupid Left hates America because it thinks America promotes evil, oppressiveregimes around the world. The Satanic Left hates America because America gets in the way of the evil, oppressive regimes that the Satanic Left promotes.
The Stupid Left denounces capitalism and globalization and supports communism because it really believes that people are poor and oppressed under capitalism but free and happy under socialism. The Satanic Left denounces capitalism and supports communism precisely because it knows that the opposite is the case.
The Stupid Left does not know that communism produces gulags. The Satanic Left supports communism precisely because it produces gulags and also because the Satanic Leftists presume they will be placed in charge of the gulags.
The Stupid Left wants a Palestinian state because it thinks that such a state will pursue peace alongside Israel. The Satanic Left wants a Palestinian state precisely because it knows such a state will launch a war of destruction against Israel and endless atrocities against the Jews.
The Stupid Left thinks Israel mistreats Arabs. It does not know that Arab regimes mistreat Arabs. The Satanic Left knows Israel does not mistreat Arabs and Arab regimes do. It wants Israel destroyed not because it thinks Israel is unjust, but rather because it hates Jews.
The Stupid Left is convinced that most Arabs seek peace, are moderate and decent people, and have a legitimate grievance against the West. The Satanic Left supports Arab aggression and terror precisely because it knows this is not true.
The Stupid Left thinks that Palestinian leaders and Arab nationalists are progressive and liberal. The Satanic Left supports the same people precisely because it knows they are fascists.
The Stupid Left thinks the West should not place its Arab residents under surveillance because they are decent people and loyal to their adopted countries. The Satanic Left opposes such surveillance because it wants more Bin Ladens.
The Stupid Left thinks the Middle East conflict is about Arab human rights. The Satanic Left knows the Middle East conflict is about suppressing Jewish human rights. They support this suppression.
The Stupid Left thinks the Middle East conflict is about land and borders. The Satanic Left knows it is about Israel`s existence.
The Stupid Left thinks Israel is a discriminatory, apartheid country. The Satanic Left wants Israel destroyed so that the Arabs can impose an apartheid regime directed against the Jews and any other non-Moslems.
The Stupid Left believes it is trying to reform and change America. The Satanic Left wants to destroy America.
The Stupid Left thinks socialism works. The Satanic Left wants socialism because it knows it does not work.
The Stupid Left thinks it is opposing racism. The Satanic Left`s fundamental urge is to impose its own mode of racism and anti-Semitism upon the world.
The Stupid Left thinks Zionism is a form of racism. The Satanic Left supports anti-Zionism precisely because it is a form of anti-Semitism.
The Stupid Left chooses its political positions on the basis of the desire by leftists to make their mommies and daddies mad. So does the Satanic Left, but they REALLY DESPISE their parents.
The Stupid Left says it favors equality. The Satanic Left favors transferring power to itself so that it can oppress others.
The Stupid Left supports Marxist groups all over the world because it thinks these are non-violent and favor pluralism. The Satanic Left supports them because they know these are violent and totalitarian.
The Stupid Left thinks animals should be treated like humans. The Satanic Left thinks humans should be treated like animals.
The Stupid Left wants socialism because it thinks that people will not have to work under socialism and because it thinks that leftists will have a lot of friends under socialism. The Satanic Left wants socialism because Satanic Leftists will not have to work under socialism while they turn everyone else into slaves, and because they`ll get to shoot their friends.

May peace be in your heart and may the Good Spirit walk by your side.
I think you could not possibly be more right here. There is a subculture of the Left that isn't merely misguided or merely lacking in virture. These people are evil, and I do not think it is incorrect to say this truth is theological. Whether or not a person believes there is a real Kingdom of Heaven, it should be a no-brainer to recognize that these people are working to establish a Kingdom of Hell under the pretenses of building a paradise and there cannot be anything more Satanic than that.
If I may oversimplify, you have exposed at length the real problem of so many people, whether on the Stupid Left or not: they do not believe in evil. They don't believe, for instance, that anybody could actually desire gulags, and death by terrorism, and all the other evils you mention. They chalk it up, at most, to good intentions pursued wrongly. That the intentions themselves might be evil either does not occur to them or, if it does occur to them, the thought is dismissed as a reactionary judgement.
This kind of righteous honesty is only found on the blog pages. Evil does not prosper under the harsh light of truth.
Write-on
The amazing thing is the reaction of a leftist when one shines a light on him. He'll run for cover faster than Bill Clinton could change his position. But shine a light on a conservative, and he is pleased to be seen. It's the difference between conniving and convincing.
No wonder leftists, stupid and satanic alike, are desperately trying to hide behind the term "progressive" in order to avoid responsibility for their true positions.
But shine a light on a conservative, and he is pleased to be seen. It's the difference between conniving and convincing.
Like the light shone onto Jeff/Jim Gannon/Gucker?
Truth stands tall on it's own two feet, while the lies of the left slither along like the belly of a snake. Oh, my goodness, that's what they are! Snakes in the grass!
Excellent post and spot on concept. Stupid or Satanic. (Or maybe both, sometimes).
Nice post... my own post in my Blog (y2dray.blogspot.com) probably describes the Satanic Left to a T, but you should read it for yourself (http://y2dray.blogspot.com/2004/12/wrong-really-hates-you.html).
And so... there you go.
This is scary stuff, because it offers, to me anyway, the only reasonable explanation of these warped minds. Of course evil exists. I know this because I consider myself somewhat intelligent and able to "get a Clue". This battle will not only be fought on the sands of the middle east but at the institutions of higher learning. Thank God for people like DH.
Maybe the the real names should be the satanically clever left and the gullible suckered left. Wasn't it WFB who once said that a liberal lies as a matter of course?
ok, i consider myself very conservative and i cannot stand the left, this is the first time i have heard of the stupid and satanic left, very interesting indeed, it makes a lot of sense. however, i have one question, could someone please provide me with some evidence that shows stupid and satanic in action (so that i can convince my liberal friends, of course, they will just run for cover)
Hmmm, I believe there are more Stupid leftists than Satanic leftists. At the school I attend, there are A LOT of leftists who honestly believe communism will bring good to the world. These people are the highest office bearers, from School to debating captains. How can smart people be so stupid?
Good satirecontains elements of truth. I know a couple of radicals who have left the movement over its odd bigotry against Jews.
I am generaly patient with the left with two exceptions. I have zero tollerance for the 9-11 Neocon-Likud cabal conspiracy cranks. I have no patience for holocaust deniers.
The sad pert is the left is so devoid of sanity that speakers regularly compare 9-11 to the reichstag fire.
How dare you call them the satanic left. They don't believe in God or the devil. They are multi-cultural a**holes who believe in everything but the truth. Shame on you.
Well, how about the "Naive" and "Nefarious" left then, because as Scott Wise said, implying that the left can be Satanic implies that they have some sort of belief/judgement on the matter
To the reader who asked "How can smart people be so stupid?": Remember Winston Churchill's famous saying "A man who is not a liberal at 20 doesn't have a heart and a man who is not a conservative at 40 doesn't have a brain." As a former leftist, who WASN'T raised by communists and have only myself to blame, I gotta tell you Communism can look GREAT on paper. The excuse that socialist experiments have failed because they weren't "true socialism" has got to be the best excuse of all time. You really have to look deeper to see the underlying idea that any society based on a wholesale abbrogation of property rights is going to result in tyranny, call it what you will. When upper middle class kids come to a stark realization that most people do not enjoy all the opportunities in life that they do and that the United States is not perfect, it can do a number on them.
In order to 'win' the Culture War, we must 1) demonstrate the superiority of our arguments through Reason, and 2) be on guard of the tactics of our opponents. Throwing around that the Left hates Jews, wants to run gulags, and wants to kill their friends without providing any backup to these serious accusations violates Assumption No.1. This rant also provides the Left with heaps of ammo to be taken out of context, violating Assumption No. 2 (although they will do this anyway, but why make it easy on them?).
Liberals are forced to avoid analysis and evidence and rely on glib character assassination precisely because they are wrong about their opinions (at this point in history). Let's not appear to be in the same unfortunate predicament.
On your comments, all complex social behaviors rely on a human emotion for basic fuel.
Socialism & Communism are fueled by Envy (caused by Insecurity, masked as Justice)and Pride (more precisely, Arrogance).
The Satanic Left does what is does because they Envy those who are successful and they want to tear them down. They pursue this desire with the Arrogant belief that they can control the economic and human devastation that is caused by the destruction of human excellence and achievement.
The Stupid Left does what it does because they are never exposed to anything but the vision of the Satanic Left through media and academy. I was was a Stupid Lefty. The first time I was exposed to an alternative view (rationally presented), I felt like a duck when it wakes up in the morning - as if the whole world around was something I had never before experienced.
It can be said that the fuel that drives Capitalism is, of course, Greed. The difference is, an individual can satisfy his Greed without hating or taking away from or harming anyone else. The same cannot be said of Envy, which must necessarily nourish hate, theft, and therefore, harm.
On a couple of your specific comments: Liberals don't like Islamic terrorists and don't hate Jews. Liberals hate America because it is powerful and successful. They form their alliegences and enemies on that basis.
And that is why today's Liberalism is dangerous and evil. Is Envy more powerful than Greed? In an ignorant population, you bet it is.
Without education and enlightenment on the true nature of concepts like justice and forces like economics, Envy will win and America will lose. That's why I'm at this website.
Good arguments there, orangeducks954. I would only quibble about a couple of things.
First, greed is a pejorative, and as such isn't necessarily a component of capitalism. Pursuit of profit, or obtaining reward for effort, is a major component of capitalism, but it's not the same thing. Semantic argument, perhaps, but worthy of discussion.
Second, while I agree fully that not all lefties hate Jews, we must acknowledge the fact that some do. Anti-semitism is not a disease restricted to neo-Nazis. It's rampant in the international left, as well.
I am in complete agreement that an educated population is the best defense against leftism. Toward that end, the rotten core of today's "education" system must be revamped. Jefferson wrote that a free society is never safe but in the hands of the people, but he qualified that by saying that the people must be educated. Ignorance is freedom's greatest enemy.
I have one of many examples to this question.
"ok, i consider myself very conservative and i cannot stand the left, this is the first time i have heard of the stupid and satanic left, very interesting indeed, it makes a lot of sense. however, i have one question, could someone please provide me with some evidence that shows stupid and satanic in action (so that i can convince my liberal friends, of course, they will just run for cover)"
Welfare! To the radical anti-americans, it was a way to weaken america. to the "stupid" left (i don't like to refer to them as stupid, they are more like people who think with their hearts and ignore their logic), it was a way to help and feed the poor. I have been saying for years that the only good democrat is the voter, they are just uninformed. How can you blame them when the news (holders of the people's trust, were secretly minipulating all of us for many years).
Point well taken, Redbeard, on my references to Greed. The same point occurred to me as I was writing, but my intent was to level the rhetorical playing field with the Left. Since the rhetoric that they apply to us routinely resides in the gutter, I say fine, let us stand toe-to-toe there and see how things measure up.
As we know, the Left is very adept at redefining terms to suit their agenda (whether flowering-up their labels or demonizing ours). Our side often tries to compete along the same lines, but we seldom win because we don't have creative giants like Michael Moore, Naom Chomsky, and Rosie O'Donnel on our side. Boy, what a blow.
So, I've come to sometimes taking the debate outside and competing in the gutter, sin for sin. The Left will characterize our side as Greedy no matter what. Fine, let's compare sins then, describing evenly our respective motivations using the pejorative terms you, Redbeard, so astutely noted.
If we can be honest about the nature of our sins, then truth just may be on our side. Can the Left be honest about theirs? Have they ever been?
On the issue of Liberals hating Jews, I simply reject it as a broad assertion that applies to the Left in general, as "Stupid Left, Satanic Left" states.
We can play word games and spar and take digs all day with the Left. But I am categoracally disgusted when my views and ideas are labeled in a flippant, matter-of-fact way as racist, masogonistic, etc., etc., etc. If we resort to the same cheap and disgusting tactics, unless we have Reason and Facts to back it up, we will lose the argument.
And rightfully so.
Agreed. The way to defeat leftism is through facts and rationality, commodities in very short supply on their end. Leftists cannot maintain their footing in a factually-based debate. The only hope they have for winning is through shameless emotional hyperbole, character assassination, outright falsehoods and baseless scare tactics.
Well, as charging Jews with knowingly malicious conduct is a prime tactic of anti-Semitism--i.e., the Jews (or Israeliis) are self-consciously and deliberately evil, I am personally reluctant to divide all leftists into idiots and evildoers. I believe Irving Kristol is still a leftist. Capitalism is very nice until it falls off the tracks. And for morals conservatives--those who wish to support a culture of life as opposed to a culture of infanticide-on-demand--the libertarian defense of abortion is sadly not disconnected from capitalist consumerisms illusion of perpetual desire.
In my younger years I always considered myself a middle of the raod lefty. However in recent years I have become very, very right wingish, but could not figure how or why it came to be. But after reading this post I learned the whys and hows of how I came to be this way. Thanks!
You people depress me. Just because you don't understand something does not make it evil or stupid. I am a Christian, and I am a liberal. I do not hate Jews, or Israel, or accuse Jews of malicious acts. Feel free to consider me as stupid as you wish; if this is the case, come to my blog and beat me down in reasoned debate. My degree in biochemistry says that I've got some intelligence, though.
Your rhetoric cannot fool people for long. Eventually your words will be seen as hollow as they are, and people will wake up to the fact that you thrive on the ignorance and blind acceptance of your audience. When that day comes, good luck folks...you're on your own.
Have a nice day.
So, all of you who insist on saying that "liberals" hate Jews must believe that Jews vote for Democrats more than any other party because they... what... are stupid? Satanic? Want to destroy themselves? Are Communists? Secretly loath themselves? Don't appreciate how "righteous" Republicans with vitriolic rhetoric are trying to look out for them?
Just curious...

You are paranoid and need some serious therapy, pal; I kid you not.
You’re just making this stuff up to fit your thesis. You offer nothing in the way of real examples or reasoned debate. You’ve set up a straw man in these communism-loving leftists to demonize anyone who disagrees with your right-wing agenda. Well, pal, that’s just bull. Liberals, lefty’s, progressives, whatever label they call themselves in fact generally feel as they do because they find themselves appalled by the means the right will use to accomplish its goals. Goals that benefit the extreme rich, the powerful and the unscrupulous toadies that parrot their policies. Toadies like your editor in chief, the well paid, well financed Mr. David Horowitz, a former lefty who took Trotskyist tactics and applied them to right-wing activism. Was Mr. Horowitz stupid or evil when he was editing for Ramparts in the 60’s? Does the Olin and Scaife money he’s accepted make him smart or good?
I remember being appalled during the 80’s about the Iran/Contra thing. When Eugene Hossenfus’ plane crashed and the story started to come out – the secret arms deals with Iran, the drug running, the support for death squads that killed innocent peasants – it was a betrayal of our American ideals of government. It was a betrayal of the image we are taught as children of what our country is and should be.
American funding and support of the mujahadeen in Afghanistan against the Soviet’s eventually led to a bad end as well. We fell into the “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” fallacy, at least until the Soviet’s ran away. We supported Saddam before he was our enemy. We supported Noriega before he was our enemy. We made these bad men stronger. And they all end in the same way: blowback.
I turn to the theme of ends and means. Ends do not justify the means. Human beings are not to be treated as means. The categorical imperative as laid out by Kant makes that clear, as does the more straightforward golden rule, laid out by Jesus. So you tell me I’m either stupid or evil for having moral principles that determine what I will or will not support my government doing, then perhaps your definitions of good and evil are broken.
You warn of gulags. I remind you: we are employing torture and indefinitely imprisoning people with no access to legal counsel. We are doing this to arabs and other muslim people. You tell me I am naïve and they are evil terrorists. But again, “ends and means.” Who they are has no bearing on whether we sell out our ideals. Some of those people in Guantanamo are assuredly guilty. But they are now so legally tainted they cannot be prosecuted under the rule of law. Others were simply sold for cash by warlords in Afghanistan. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are our civil sacred documents, expressing the ideals we espouse. You are willing to trash them for short term goals. Yet I am stupid or evil.
So I ask you, who do my principles support? People. While I may phrase this in terms of abstractions, the beneficiaries are those governed under the rule of law – a level playing field with the same standards for the rich and for the common man and woman. Who benefits from the principles of those who support the current administration and right-wing activists? Corporations. Powerful men. Inside players who get play with the lives of ordinary people, but do not have to bear the costs of the unintended consequences that are the result of their actions. Yet, I am stupid or evil.
I leave you with one last thought. The principles I set forth reach for transcendence of mere power and “law of the jungle” thinking. The “conservative” ideals you espouse are not, however. Conservative means preserving and defending what you have. Avoiding unnecessary risks. That’s fine. I have no quarrel with that. The goals the right supports include using torture, the bombing of innocents, invasions based on quest for global geopolitical advantage. These are not conservative, but aggressive, radical concepts. They are the law of might makes right, the law of the jungle introduced to the modern world. These are not goals compatible with Judeo-Christian ideals, as most of your right-wing me too posters seem to espouse. They are the voice of that reptile, still living in the core of your brain; of the monkey bashing in the skull of another monkey to take his power. They are the voice that sows the whirlwind. Call me what you will. Your empty words have no power over me.
Truly moronic, uncritical thinking - period. Not this type of conservative's thought process at all. Your brand of vitriolic hatred toward the Left is the exact reason there is such a large divide in this country.
I know many on the left and they are well read, well spoken people with the best of intentions, yet choose different paths toward making the United States of America a better place for not only themselves, but their children, grandchildren, and untold future generations. In debate, we disagree on most social issues, yet agree (surprisingly) on issues of fiscal discipline, the education issue, and a wide array of other domestic issues.
To merely brand the Left as either stupid or satanic is not only ignorant, but it is wholly unproductive in developing dialogue between the two opposing political ideologies. This is true of vitriolic, hateful attitudes from both sides. I have heard, from many on the left, that fascism is creeping into my Republican party. Although I disagree vehemently with that assessment, I see that very concept has reared its ugliness into your mindset.
As a conservative, you should be ashamed at such a diatribe. Attitudes such as yours will inevitably be what divides the Republican party itself and ultimately will prevent us from achieving our goals.
Think in depth. Analyze. Develop productive solutions. Just don't spread hatred around my Republican party.
EJ
These were funny. And most of them were so, so true.
However, the truthfullness will be lost on most thinking people because of your unfortunate use of "Satanic". To call them any other dastardly name would be more apt, and thus your post considered serious. How about anti-American? Aaahh..bad alliteration, right.
If you really, really believe that they are Satanic, then you are as bad as they are and only do damage to our cause.
Redbeard and Orangeducks954: you both seem to have a good command of your thinking and writing skills, and you are both very easy to read.
The author of this article also has one excellent point, and that is where his/her hat sits.
It is interesting to me that there is such an effort afoot to remove individuality from people. I honestly don't know anyone whose personal beliefs can be so narrowly defined as to fall strictly within the criteria of a conservative, liberal, or any subset thereof.
If every argument is based on truth, and truth can only be verified at the subjective level, then much of what is written about groups and classes of people would have to be discarded.
I am not allowed to pass on as gospel anything that I am not able to verify as truth whether it be Karl Rove's relationship with Mr. Gannon, Senator Santorum's desire to be part of that relationship, or Senator Frist's desire to more highly thought of by Hillary Clinton. None of these things are actually part of my verifiable truth.
In the same sense, it would be less than honest of me to claim knowledge of what might be in the hearts or minds of conservatives or liberals. I can only use my comments and/or my writing to reflect what is truly within my own heart.
The author of this article is incapable of possessing any more knowledge of what I truly think or believe than I am capable of possessing about him/her.
The concept of stupid and evil are definitely worthy of consideration, I believe, because they are both spawned through ignorance.
The bottom line is that many conservatives and liberals hold identical values, and are deeply concerned about identical issues. This fact is much easier to discern when you reach out to and deal with individuals rather than classes or groups. It is also infinitely more rewarding. By their DEEDS shall they be know.
Interesting idea. But it is as usual a generalization. There is no black and white. No "satanic" and "stupid" left or right. What you wrote could have been written changing the word "left" with the word "right" and be agreed in its entirety by the other side.
I am a liberal. I am neither a "satanic" lefty nor a "stupid" lefty. I don't believe the left can be so easily categorized. The left is a vast (and disorganized) array of different causes and ideas. The people you think comprise the left are but a few, the most vocal and annoying of a very large group of people.
This is quite a funny article. Insanely stupid and generalizing in a condescending, "get off of my lawn you drooling rapid right-winger" type of way, but I enjoyed it nevertheless.
