The Myth of Omnipotent Government

You have to understand leftism as a species of religion, because that’s what it is. It has a creed based on totally false assumptions, among which are these:

Human nature is infinitely adjustable, and therefor, in the long run, perfectible. There just has to be a way to make us perfect, and if we keep tinkering away at it, we will eventually find it.

The only practical instrument for perfecting the human race is government; and the government must be given as much power as it takes to do that.

There is no human problem that cannot be solved by Real Smart People applying lots and lots of force, backed up by lots and lots of money.

This is why the things that leftids say sound so bizarre to normal people. Based on the premises given above, they believe government can bring about things that are, in fact, impossible: that fly in the face of human nature and the nature of reality.

What do they promise, that can never be delivered, no matter how much power you give the government?

Oh, just to name a few: income equality; no more poverty; no more war; no more racism, not even unintentional, unconscious, or “systemic” racism; no more bumps and potholes in the economy; no more distinctions of any kind among assorted groups of people (the pursuit of “diversity” through coerced uniformity); no more “hate”; they’ll “fix” the climate, controlling vast natural processes that no one truly understands; total sexual liberation, including stress-free “gender reassignment”… Or, to sum it up, as G.K. Chesterton might sum it up, Everything For Everybody–all brought to you by an all-powerful state operated by all-wise managers.

Is this a load of poop, or what?

Leftids, for the most part, don’t believe in God. But they want all the blessings God can give us, and look to receive them at the hands of government. That’s what makes it a religion. That’s what makes them tick.

You can’t appease them. You have to defeat them.

Do You Really Own What You Think You Own?

A couple of Michigan farmers, a man and wife, Catholics,  got relief from a federal judge last week when he issued an injunction against the town of East Lansing for banning them from the local farmers’ market (http://dailysignal.com/2017/09/15/judge-suspends-citys-ban-of-farmers-over-their-marriage-views/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Top5&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTkdFMk5XRTJaamt3T0RWaSIsInQiOiJWWTVjRk1XWTRWYithc0I2ZWxQbGdocTkrcWtKendkdE5EN2RGR3ZWWk1tdm1kODFNcVJFN1BZTVNtXC9XdHYrVVgwaGVCVytsc3dWRDdKcmlTZzVpU2JNclZOQkVOQXNhZHVaZCtjRG1uMHJWK3VxK1RnenhyNFdwSWU1QTZDMXIifQ%3D%3D).

And why were they banned from the market? You probably won’t need three tries to guess the reason.

Somebody asked them if they could hold a same-sex pseudo-wedding on their farm, and when the farmers said no, the commissars in East Lansing swung into action. By now I trust everybody understands that “diversity” is lib-talk for uniformity of opinion, rigorously enforced.

So they banned them from the farmers’ market, and these farmers lost three and a half months of business there before the judge stepped in.

If you don’t obey the Far Left, they will destroy your livelihood. They’d do more than that, if they could–but Hillary isn’t president.

Question: If you can’t decide what can or can’t be done on your own private property–is it truly your property? If the government can make you host activities that are profoundly offensive to your religious beliefs–well, then, whose property is it: yours or the government’s? Today you have to allow a “gay wedding” on your farm. Maybe tomorrow they’ll force you to hold the reception in your living room. Your bedroom might be up for grabs, too, a little ways down the road.

We can do our country no finer service than to defy Big Sodomy, and its sponsors in the government, at every opportunity. In God’s name, defy and disobey. Defy and disobey.

P.S.–I lived in East Lansing for a little while, after college. In 1972 it was a leftist basket case. Apparently it hasn’t changed much.

 

Now They Don’t Want You Watching Football

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

A liberal is haunted by the fear that someone, somewhere, is enjoying something; and unless it’s a sodomy pride parade, an abortion, an American military defeat, or an environmental disaster, the liberal must step in and poop the party.

And so we have an assistant professor of philosophy (lol)  calling every white person racist for enjoying college football (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/21/opinion/college-football-black-athletes.html), and her chatterings are published in the New York Times, the liberal equivalent of Holy Writ.

A disclaimer: I hate college football. Never watch it. But not being a liberal, I don’t try to forbid anybody else from watching it.

Prof. Tarver, after a few obligatory sneers at Southerners, RVs, and face-paint–but I’ll bet anything she doesn’t sneer at drag queens in a “pride” parade–and after likening being a football fan to being “a practicing Christian,” a species apparently new and strange to her–goes on to hint  broadly that we must all be racists, blah-blah-blah. Boiled down, the substance of her argument is you just can’t help being a racist and there’s nothing you can do about it, you’re white so you’re guilty so there. Unless, of course, yore “a”  Collidge prefesser and yiu Jist full “of” Socile Jutstus…

Oh, merciful heavens, I’m so tired of these people!

Crikey, she’s even worried about hypermasculinity. Well, you old philosopher, you–just hang around the Times and you’ll never have to see any kind of masculinity.

Look, I hate football. Some of the players–some of the fans, too–act more like a certain kind of lesbian than anything else. My mother, on the other hand, loved football and got a tremendous amount of enjoyment out of it. Who am I to demand everybody else fall in step with me? Only a leftid demands that–and calls it “diversity.”

And they’ll kill you to get it, if they have to.

Lord, deliver us out of the hands of the heathen.

A P.C. Fantasy for Teens

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

I’ve been invited to review a new young readers’ fantasy novel which I’m not going to read because I’m afraid it will make my brain fall out. I won’t name the title or the author because I don’t wish to hurt anyone’s feelings; but I feel I ought to comment on this book as a cultural barometer.

The story is all about a “diverse” group of teens saddled with various handicaps and representing various ethno-cultural groups–because, as you know, there’s no such thing anymore as “Americans.” The group includes kids who are deaf, blind, “overweight” (I think that means “fat”), lazy, wheelchair-bound, “angry,” and “a chronic loner”–think of Seven Miserable Dwarfs, without Snow White. Anyhow, they all go off to some other world where they all become “warriors”–because, as you know, anyone can literally become anything he wants to be. Does that mean I have a chance to play center for the Lakers?

I do not wish to find out more about this. When a liberal says someone is a “warrior,” they usually mean “a social justice warrior,” which is a euphemism for a particularly annoying malcontent.

I insist that there is a difference between fantasy and twaddle; and if not, there ought to be.

The author is a middle school teacher who has become an expert on such riveting topics as “Going beyond tolerance: How to teach kids to be inclusive” and “The importance of diversity in writing for teens.” By “diversity,” liberals mean a rigid uniformity of thought. We do all know that by now, don’t we?

Is it humane to subject children to such a grueling regimen of Political Correctness? You wouldn’t be allowed to do it to a dog. I mean, okay, sure, we want to be nice to everybody, especially to children. Our God and King expects it of us. But being nice should not entail filling their heads with tiresome poppycock.

This literary enterprise reeks of unearned self-esteem, which is one thing our culture can easily do without. Individual human beings are valuable in and of themselves, in or out of a wheelchair. They derive this value not owing to their membership in this or that cherished minority group, but simply because they are persons created by God in His image.

Anything else is just a lot of bunk.

The University Gulag

Image result for images of students as prisoners

Google doesn’t like me saying this, but I’ll say it anyway. A college education is not only a spectacular waste of time and money, but is also harmful to the student’s mind and character.

For instance: an art professor at the University of Florida–that’s right, I said “art”–has forbidden her students ever to use the term “melting pot.” Anyone who does, will be penalized by loss of grade and credit. ( http://www.newsmax.com/US/Florida-Professor-Bans-Students/2016/08/12/id/743390/ )

In a statement awesome in its vast hypocrisy, the prof said “We celebrate diversity, not sameness”! In college-speak, “diversity” always means strictly-enforced uniformity of opinion.

Furthermore, the university requires students to earn at least three credits in “Diversity” courses as a requirement for graduation. And they go on to provide a long list of “groups” that students must–yes, “must”–support.

Do you really want to subject your son or daughter to that?

Do you really want to spend enormous amounts of your hard-earned money on that? Or would you rather your offspring just went deeply into debt for it?

If you want any of those things, there’s something wrong with you.

[Thanks to my chess buddy “WannaBe” for the news tip.)

‘P.C. Police: Diversity Squad’ ( Sponsors Wanted)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Bolus Entertainment is seeking sponsors for its new, can’t-miss, blockbuster TV series, P.C. Police: Diversity Squad.

The two main characters, cops Spike and Evita, both of them undocumented asylum seekers, “are real good buddies and–ahem!–a lot more,” says executive producer Yersinia Pestis. “In each and every episode, they’re going to make the world safe for Diversity by stomping out anyone who won’t get  behind the program.

“Just in the pilot alone,” Pestis said, “Spike and Evita hunt down the last white family in the city, bust up a Climate Change denial ring, deal with an evil Christian musician who tries to refuse to perform at a gay wedding, and help their local community organizer create a safe space for looters.”

“Best of all,” he added, “several major universities have promised to give course credit to students who watch Diversity Squad. And our two stars–who are computer-generated, by the way!–will be visiting campuses to encourage students to sign an oath pledging their lifelong loyalty to the cause of Social Justice.

“TV,” he said, “will never be the same again.”

 

 

Big Lib Calls for New Holocaust

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

When they’re not warning us about “white Christian terrorists” that no one ever heard of, libs ‘n’ progs occasionally get careless and say what’s really on their minds.

A board member of the American Civil Liberties Union in Colorado–the ACLU press release tries to write this guy off as just “a volunteer,” but he was a board member–has had to resign after using his Facebook page to advocate the killing of Americans who support Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy ( http://denver.cbslocal.com/2015/12/11/aclu-board-member-resigns-after-urging-people-to-kill-supporters-of-trump/ ).

Yup, kill ’em all dead, said the ACLU big shot. Gee, that would be quite a few million people. I think you could call that a holocaust.

Why murder them? Because, said Mr. Civil Liberties, “they won’t listen to reason.” [Two-minute laugh break.] “[W]hen justice is gone, there’s always force.”

The police won’t investigate the incident because, they say, Mr. Civil Liberties’ terrorist remarks are “covered by free speech.” [Three-minute laugh break.] They probably have more important things to do, like tracking down some Christian who refused to cater a lesbian “wedding,” or bust a Climate Change denier.

Well, once again we get a peek at the true face of progressivism. Not very pretty, is it?

Even the college types just want to shut people up and take away their livelihoods. Not kill them.

But I expect that idea will grow on them, with time.

University’s War on Reality

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

You are getting educated. You are getting verrrry educated…

The Student Senate at Kansas University has voted to abolish “binary pronouns”–that is, ordinary English words like he and she, him and her–from its official Rules and Regulations document ( http://www.zerocensorship.com/t/uncensored-us-education/183725-kansas-university-student-senate-bans-his-her-calls-pronouns-a-microaggression#axzz3r6ZoRXZA ).

Why?

Because these ordinary English words constitute “microaggression” against some unspecified victim.

And what the dickens is “microaggression”?

Oh, it’s anything you say or do, no matter how innocent or innocuous, that some kollege kook might decide to take offense at, or be “hurt” by. It’s any language that is not “inclusive.”

What does “inclusive” mean?

Aw, who cares!

This is just another great institution of higher learning petulantly, childishly, making war on reality. They don’t like the fact that human beings are either male or female. They reject it! Why, there’s no end to the number of genders out there! And every cotton-pickin’ thing you say has got to include all of them, or else we’ll throw a hissy fit and key your car.

Your tuition dollars at work.

Honestly–can’t you think of any better way to spend your money?
