Once that's done, that group will be easily agitated to take every opportunity to reinforce its claim of entitlement to affirmative action. This is a good strategy for causing entire generations to fail to launch, especially when all other groups are constantly told they are racists if they don't support this nonsense in perpetual dhimmitude. Good grief, we now have gone so far as to elect a Prez who promotes this! The O.J. circus wasn't enough. Michael Savage is certainly correct: We learn now, or we fall as a nation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5320826620507241679.post-65663144887058611332012-04-04T08:45:03.664-05:002012-04-04T08:45:03.664-05:00Re: the postmodernist reality distortion field. ...Re: the postmodernist reality distortion field. :)<br />Well, God's Imagination is truth (and Walt Disney is its prophet :)). Lol. For every thing (and every image) there is a season. Much depends on one's level of ability and what one wishes to participate in establishing and preserving. Under God's reign, our free will is limited respecting how far we can (or should) push back against the reality that has been poured out for us to participate with. There's much to be said for the idealistic viewpoint --- PROVIDED one apprehends one's limitations under the Source of the dream. After all, we're not God.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5320826620507241679.post-19755418289665661082012-04-03T20:49:02.639-05:002012-04-03T20:49:02.639-05:00I suspect the secret weapon of "the Greatest ...I suspect the secret weapon of "the Greatest Generation" was its strong women.<br />Nowadays, are young American women too long sheltered by parents and too exposed to liberal profs? May that account in part for the gender gap? Does that promote strategies for reasoning more with feelings and promises than with facts and demonstrated competence? Is susceptibility to feeling-based reasoning a commonality that demagogues can exploit, much as they exploit other "communities" that are affirmatively sheltered from hard facts? Why do women, youth, minorities, educators, professors, welfare people, illegal aliens, and those in trouble with the law tend so often actually to swoon for leftist demagogues wearing well-creased pants, who are practiced in promising to spin riches out of nothing more than fantasies? Who else may our wealthy society have too long sheltered from reality? What about Keynesians, fiat-money printers, dopers, family haters, victim mongers, race baiters, gang bangers, Che fashionistas, miracle promisers, and other pretty-boy prey?<br /><br />Merit-reliant producers are no longer in the majority. The majority tends to think traditional American men are no longer needed. Rather, it believes wealth can be established and preserved out of nothing more than wishing it so. Practiced fantasists cannot be convinced with arguments based on facts, experience, or history. No doubt, the school of hard knocks will have to revive a long series of semesters, to wash away accumulations of delusions. Unfortunately, the precursor to that school will wash away and replace many of the fondest memories of the moral potential of America. It will likely take more than one generation to wash the leftist nonsense out of the pipeline.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
