Die Führerin Unserer Kinder

     The Left oft use children to advance their agenda, and even to spy on their own parents.  Now, however, we see the command to engage in “social justice” spouted directly by the self-declared Essenführerin Michelle Obama:

“[O]ur laws may no longer separate us based on our skin color, but nothing in the Constitution says we have to eat together in the lunchroom, or live together in the same neighborhoods,” she said. “There’s no court case against believing in stereotypes or thinking that certain kinds of hateful jokes or comments are funny.”

     Thus, the command to enforce the Politically Correct will of the state on family.  Children, even those fully grown are thus commanded to correct incorrect thinking and to push “correct” thinking on others.  It would seem that her “healthy lunch” shtick isn’t enough; absolute power corrupting absolutely and all that…

     The speech, in and of itself, might not be a warning sign of the intentions of the left, but the repeated use of children to acquire information on parents and use of children to spread propaganda leaves little doubt as to the intentions.

     To the Left, your only worth is as a tool of the Progressive movement.

The Non-Partisanship of Alfred E. Neuman

     Previously, Mad Magazine published a cover that went after Obama over the domestic spying scandal.

     Now, Mad has put out two parodies of both Hillary and Obama (again).

Genetic Predestination vs. Choice

     Texas Gov. Rick Perry recently caused an uproar from the usual suspects?  Why?  For noting that predisposition towards a behavior doesn’t mean that one doesn’t have a choice on whether or not to engage in such behavior.

     Perry was accused of doubleplusungood thought crime for “comparing homosexuality to alcoholism.”  What exactly did he state that was so inflamatory?  Simply this:

“Whether or not you feel compelled to follow a particular lifestyle or not, you have the ability to decide not to do that. I may have the genetic coding that I’m inclined to be an alcoholic, but I have the desire not to do that, and I look at the homosexual issue the same way.”

     As Bruce Carrol (AKA “Gay Patriot”) notes that, ironically, Perry “is echoing exactly what the gay left has been shrieking for years, “Gayness is genetic.” But suddenly it’s bigoted to say that; or, more like, politically useful to call that observation.”

     If one accepts that there are genetic factors that give a person the inclination towards certain behaviors, then the comparison between alcoholism and homosexuality is dead on.  In both cases there are people who are have certain genetic predispositions towards behavior, be it abusing a chemical to satisfy urges, or engaging in [CENSORED] with someone of the same sex.  In both cases the inclination is there regardless of whether one has abstained or not.

Kangaroo Court Sentences Thought Criminal To Force “Correct Thinking” on Others

     For refusing to express a belief that he disagrees with, Colorado baker Jack Phillips was condemned by the Colorado little kangaroo court, the “Civil Rights Commission.”  The sheer intolerance shown against bakers, florists, and photographers for daring to not utilize their artistic talents in the way that homosexual bullies wanted them to is abhorrent.

     The “sentence” Mr. Phillips received, though, goes beyond the pale: He must send his entire staff to “sensitivity training” to be “trained” on what Leviathan declares they must think and what they must express; further Mr. Phillips must report on this quarterly.  In other words, one can “[t]hink of it as reverse conversion therapy (or straight man’s rehab) so that the state can mandate diversity through conformity.”

     Of course, Mr. Phillips did not refuse service because the customers were homosexual.  He gladly offered to bake anything for them that did not conflict with his beliefs.  But then, some are more equal than others, and have the power and thus the privilege to force others to say and express what they want the others to say.  Mr. Phillips didn’t deny service to anyone because of who they are sexually attracted to, he simply didn’t want to offer his artistic services to an event that he did not support.

Quick Takes – Hypocrisy on Free Speech; Hypocrisy in Academia; and Hypocrisy on Impeachment

     Another “quick takes” on items where there is too little to say to make a complete article, but is still important enough to comment on.

     The focus this time: Hypocritical Hypocrites who Hypocricize.

     For those who are old enough, the PMRC (Parents Musical Resource Center) was the ultimate example of censorship and the reign of the thought police.  The reason?  The small content warning sticker was thought to be just the beginning of something far more sinister.  Now-a-days, though, censorship of is all the new hotness among the yutes!

“So, Millennials, I have to ask: What the hell happened to you people? We didn’t want warning labels when we were kids, and you’re demanding them as adults?

“You’re out campaigning to have warning labels put not on Slayer albums but on Finnegan’s Wake and A Prayer for Owen Meany, because you’re afraid that after a lifetime of wearing pedestrian helmets your soft little butts are going to get kicked by a poem? I know, you grew up with drinking water full of estrogen and trips to self-esteem camp, but, for Pete’s sake. I can’t imagine what it is like to be one of you people, but I assume that spending New Year’s Eve on Times Square would capture exactly one-half of the experience.”

     It wasn’t the goals of the PMRC that the so-called free speech advocates opposed, just who the targets were…

The Left and the 1st Amendment Ruse

      When Eich was pushed out from Mozilla, Sterling purged from basketball, the Benham Bros. fired from HGTV, or Josh Olin fired from Turtle Rock studios due to outrage over what they said or supported, the Left conveniently re-discovered the right to freedom of association and declared that the 1st Amendment only protects you from the government, and not private consequence, going so far as to declare that an employee represented their company 24/7.  Funny then, that this freedom to not associate with persons who express beliefs that a company disagrees with is not extended to bakers, florists, and photographers.

      The proffered declaration that “freedom of speech” and the 1st Amendment only protects one from government interference is yet another disingenuous lie, as evidenced by a government union demanding that government employees be fired for putting decals on their trucks that support Duck Dynasty‘s Phil Robertson.

      One of the major complaints?  “Hostile work environment.”  Supporting the right of a private citizen to express their beliefs is “hostile,” yet mandating affirmation of homosexuality somehow isn’t, is the hypocritical double standard that has become expected from the Left.
