Here is some of what I've been trying to say about leftists and statism in America.
The New Totalitarians Are Here...
Far from being 'liberal', the statist elites and their lapdog press are moving us toward a totalitarian state (of behavior and being) that forbids free thought and expression, that encourages and perpetuates hatred and fear, and one in which you and I antagonize and terrorize each other.
The government won't have to change its laws. Jack-booted government agents won't have to drag us to reeducation camps. Because we, goaded on by the press and other self-proclaimed leaders who crowd and shout like 7th Graders, "Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!" will self-police each other.
Even now, we find ourselves without thought adding, "not that there's anything wrong with that," to any statement that might be misunderstood to be a values statement or to be judgmental. We walk into a gun shop with the same apprehension with which we might have walked into a porn shop 20 years ago. We conspicuously avoid posting things that might be offensive and instead choose images either deliberately neutral or that might be interpreted as supportive of the mainstream thought of the day.
Think about the environment. Think about religion. Think about history. Think about race relations. Think about sexual preference. Think about education. Think about national debt. Think about welfare. Think about national security. Think about values. Think about politics. Think about personal responsibility. Think about vaccinations. Think about personal choice.
Think about just about anything that is NOT portrayed in a reality TV series, and you'll find something that has two and only two diametrically opposed sides.
On the one side, we must embrace the enlightened and liberating catechism of leftist tolerance; or we find ourselves on the other side - at once intolerant and intolerable, full of hate that is fueled by fear and ignorance. We do not love. We do not care. We do not understand, as long as we do not accept, embrace, agree....
