The Big Lie Part II
So, all of this goes back to the 1930s, it is nothing new, it has for a fact, been around for a long time. America today is in the throws of the greatest and direst transformation in its history. We are becoming an ideological state, a country with an official state ideology enforced by the power of the state. If you don’t buy into that, then stop and consider what has gone down concerning Iraq and Afghanistan.
When the weapons of mass destruction were not found, and it was pointed out, it didn’t matter at all. Under Bush & Cheney Free Speech went out the window also. Seemingly overnight the right to protest was removed by Bush and you were not allowed (by law) to protest anywhere within five miles of his appearances, all in the name of National Security. Anyone attend the debate on the Second Amendment to the Constitution? They are reading your mail, tapping your telephones, what is next? When we inquire as to what is going on we are given the standard line.
We were told to stay the course and we move on down the road.
Our constitution is being shredded and tossed out the window almost daily. This is ideology, we don’t care about this, here is our viewpoint, follow us. Your 200 year old system of values is no longer relevant, we have all the answers. Work you lousy job, send in your yearly stipend and shut up.
In “hate crimes” we now have people serving jail sentences for political thoughts. And the Congress is now moving to expand that category ever further. Affirmative action is part of it. The terror against anyone who dissents from Political Correctness on campus is part of it. It’s exactly what we have seen happen in Russia, in Germany, in Italy, in China, and now it’s coming here. Australia is experiencing a real problem with it right now, censorship of the Internet is in full swing down under and freedom of speech (and thought I suppose) is being effectively squelched.
And we don’t recognize it because we call it Political Correctness and laugh it off. The message today is that it’s not funny, it’s here, it’s growing and it will eventually destroy, as it seeks to destroy, everything that we have ever defined as our freedom and our culture.
It is entirely possible to speak your mind and NOT be a bigot. It is entirely possible to make a point and not be offensive while doing it. When you openly criticize others in front of your kids, you are effectively crippling them for the future, you are passing this destructive criticism gene onto the next generation. It is time to start teaching History and Civics’ and get rid of Political Correctness.
If we want to survive.
