leftist cliches – Lee Duigon

World ends; women, minorities hardest hit — Christopher Fountain

It used to be a joke. Now it’s a reality.

Early this morning I wondered what we’d think if we saw a corny old joke acted out in real life. Well, here’s a corny old joke acted out in real life… by the government.

There’s an old joke by Mort Sahl that goes, “New York Times Headline, World Ends: Women and Minorities Hardest Hit.

It seems to have been the inspiration for the creation of a brand-new government bureaucracy, another bottomless pit into which to fling tax dollars: [raspberry fanfare] The Office of Environmental Justice! Hot dog. Part of Health & Human Services. Part of an executive order by senile SloJo himself. (*Note: This not to be confused with the Disinformation Governance Board. One is nonsense and the other is bilge.)

Best of all, informed by a 2007 study on “environmental racism” (what?) commissioned by none other than that high temple of Far Left crazyness, the UCC, United Church of Christ. Pioneers of gay-womanist-Bible-aint-God’s-word theology.

Oh! And that guy who calls himself “Rachel,” the fat guy with the wig and nail polish–he’s gonna be involved in this, too. Maybe as the mascot.

Yes! Climbit Chains disproportionately drops its load on “the poor,” and “marginalized” (by whom?), and–of course–People Of Color (POCs)! The bigwigs at the new bureaucracy have already hailed Ol’ SloJo as the perpetrator of “the most ambitious Environmental Justice agenda in history.” Well, yeah, it sure does put Julius Caesar’s environmental justice agenda in the shade.

Have we left out any left-wing blather? Any Far Left cliches this story doesn’t touch on? I think this story might be in line for an award. Most Thorough-going Piece of Shagwah Ever. Or at least for 2022.

My grandpa loathed Woodrow Wilson. He had good reason to.

We can learn a lot about what made President Wilson tick by examining his favorite novel, the 1911 literary gem by Edward M. House, Philip Dru: Administrator: A Story of Tomorrow, 1920-1935. In fact, he liked House so much, he made him his top advisor on foreign affairs.

So what’s this colon-rich masterpiece about? It’s about this guy who stages an armed coup and makes himself dictator of the United States–for the country’s own good, of course. Rescues it from the bad guys. And then applies Science, glorious Science, to “cure bad thoughts” and make it, like, impossible for people to be bad anymore. Science, applied by Really Smart leaders with absolute power over our lives, is our salvation. Later on he conquers Mexico and rewrites their Constitution, too. And once they see how great it all turns out, everybody’s really happy.

Now do you see why I call leftid ideology stale, archaic, old hat, trite, cliche-ridden, done to death, moldy, obsolete, and antiquated? Wilson is one of those few old-time Democrats who’d fit right in today. In fact, he’d be indistinguishable from a modern-day globalist leftid. And we can’t say much for his taste in literature, either.

We can’t we get rid of these hoary, cobwebby old statist platitudes?

Because leftism is fruit produced by Original Sin. Only Jesus Christ can root it out.

And someday He will.
