You are the “Other People” Who Will Pay for Obamacare

     Socialism is attractive because many people can force other people to pay for their free stuff.  When the “more equal than others” elite invariably gets around that, the number of “other people” shrinks as they are crushed economically.

     Sooner or later, you will become the “other people” who pays for someone else’s free stuff.

     At least an equality of misery is achieved, and for some on the rabid Left, that is all that matters.

Obama’s America: Fritz Lang’s Metropolis

     The plans of Obama and the Progressive elite to transform America by inhibiting suburban and ex-urban living and propping up urban utopias instead for the sake of “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” has been previously commented on.  However, the urban-obsessed Progressive elite have also been using the fear of immanent climate DOOM to pack people into little urban hovels while enjoying the spiffier urban hip hangouts, which is somehow familiar…

     Of course, this ecological DOOM is just an excuse, as urban density in the San Francisco Bay area has increased while people are driving… more:

“The data also show that crowding people together isn’t really effective at reducing greenhouse-gas emissions or addressing other urban concerns. Population densities in the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose urban areas have already grown by nearly 60 percent since 1990, yet per-capita driving still has increased.”

The “Privilege” of Being Discriminated Against

     One of the basic assumptions of the Progressive notion of “privilege” is that it is so pervasive that it becomes the overwhelming factor that leads straight White “cis-gendered” males (AKA the “Kyriarchy“) to be oppress everyone else.  This, of course, is peddled by those who themselves see only in terms of treating people unequally, and viewing them as innately different, and become the monsters that they accuse the “Kyriarchy” of being.  The notion of “privilege” and the belief that straight White “cis-gendered” males are always the oppressors, while everyone else is oppressed for being straight/White/&c. or is perpetuating the “Kyriarchy” through “interlocking hierarchies,” has been previously dismissed.

     Frighteningly, this idiotic and hate-filled drivel is taught as absolute fact.  The concept of America being a great country, that has demonstratedly been one of the most inclusive and tolerant in history to the point where any straying from that is guiltily self corrected, is being erased from schools.  Rather than that narrative, we are being taught that the Founding Fathers were paragons of oppression and hate, and it is only by Progressing away from that an towards the rabid Left’s deluded utopia will “equality” and “justice” be achieved, even if they must embrace inequality and injustice to do it.

     One of the most obvious, and obnoxious examples, is from a “poetry” event called “Brave New Voices Grand Slam Finals” at the University of New Mexico.  Warning, the below video will make you rage:

Gun Confiscation in New York City

     A reported gun confiscation notice requiring the “immediate surrender” or removal of newly illegal guns by order of New York City has surfaced.

     The guns listed in the notice are clearly in violation of the city’s Administrative Code.  It is uncertain how wide-spread or vigorously enforced new gun laws in New York are or will be.  Additional reporting of such notices will be necessary to determine that.

I do not like this Uncle Sam

     From a poem that’s been making the rounds recently:

I do not like this Uncle Sam
I do not like this healthcare scam
I do not like these dirty crooks
or how they lie and cook the books
I do not like when Congress steals
I do not like their secret deals
I do not like ex-Speaker, Nan
I do not like this “YES, WE CAN”
I do not like this spending spree
I’m smart, I know that nothing’s free
I do not like your smug replies
when we complain about your lies
I do not like this kind of hope
I do not like it, Nope, Nope, Nope!

Oppression of the Grammar NAZIs

     Graduate students in the School of Education & Information Studies at UCLA staged a sit-in to protest a most vile form of evil oppression by White oppressors.  Just what was this vile evil being thrust upon poor downtrodden and oppressed students?  Correct Grammar.

“In a letter sent to colleagues in the department after the sit-in, [Professor Val] Rust said students in the demonstration described grammar and spelling corrections he made on their dissertation proposals as a form of “micro-aggression.”

“‘I have attempted to be rather thorough on the papers and am particularly concerned that they do a good job with their bibliographies and citations, and these students apparently don’t feel that is appropriate,’ Rust said in the letter.”

     Korrect grammar n spellin be like so oppressive MAN.  It’s just like the NAZIs and stuff!!1!

Parent Fined for Child’s “Unhealthy” Ritz-Cracker Free Lunch

     A parent in Manitoba was fined ten Canadian Dollars for not having a serving of “grain” in her child’s lunch.  The lunch of “homemade roast beef and potatoes, carrots, an orange and some milk” was deemed to be insufficient and unhealthy, and had to be suplemented with… Ritz Crackers!

     The sad thing is that this home-made lunch was deemed insufficient while a lunch containing “microwave Kraft Dinner and a hot dog, a package of fruit twists, a Cheestring, and a juice box” would have been deemed healthy and appropriate.

     With government treating parents as incompetent to feed their own kids, you’d think that the government sees the kids as their own.

Forcibly Enriched By Vibrant Diversity on Threat of Ostracism from Polite Society

     Government dictated education has long been used as a tool to indoctrinate youth to the “correct” thinking, so as to effectively control them when they are adults.  Daniel Hannan, MEP, has uncovered a letter from a U.K. school that declares that attendance to a multi-cultural (AKA multi-culti) “workshop” that is designed to have the child “explore other religions.”

Via Daniel Hannan's Telegraph Blog

     What makes this letter so troubling is that children are threatened with having a “Racial Discrimination note” added to their permanent file to haunt them for the rest of their school career, which will enable discrimination against them:

“Refusal will result in a Racial Discrimination note being attached to your child’s educational record, which will remain on this file throughout their school career.”

     Apparently, “Racial Discrimination notes” are the modern day “Scarlet Letter.”
