Don’t Talk to Me!

I’ll Invent my own Facts, Thank You…

The biggest problem with political correctness is its net effect on society. People don’t talk to each other anymore because someone told them that they have a right to not be offended, ever, over anything, even if offending them is the right thing to do.

We’re not supposed to use terms like “winner” anymore, because “losers” find the term offensive. We’re not supposed to talk about such antiquated terms as “right” or “wrong” because in a politically correct open society, there is no such thing, and to suggest that there is might offend someone, namely the wrong.

Likewise in politics, we’re not supposed to use terms like “communist” or “socialist” to describe those who subscribe to communist or socialist principles and policies. They prefer to be called “progressive” or “liberals” or “democrats” now.

And God forbid if someone who believes in foundational American values ever stumbles into a room full of “progressives.” We’re not even supposed to talk to each other because aside from potentially offending each other, we might actually make some sense to each other and then where would that leave all the politicians who need all Americans to be divided into nice neat voting blocs, easy to pander to?

When former Senator Phil Gramm recently suggested that the nation of what ever it takes winners had turned into a nation of do nothing “whiners,” people across the country were horrifically offended - Whiners of course. He was right, by the way.

But being a stupid whiner is not offensive. Calling people stupid whiners, who say and do stupid things, is offensive though… and since we are not supposed to call anything by its rightful name anymore, we have entire generations who no longer know what anything is…

Most Americans don’t know that “universal health care” is “socialized medicine.” Most don’t know that “social welfare” is “socialism.” Few know that “the goal of socialism is communism” because most wrongly think that communism died with the fall of the Soviet Union. And the Americans who believe in and support these ideas, “from each according to his ability; to each according to his need,” have overlooked the reality that Marx and his notions were far from “American.”

Because Americans have not been allowed to access full unfettered truth for decades now, they make the biggest decisions of their lives on the basis of false propaganda. Hidden beneath progressive sounding new titles are the old regressive notions of socialism and communism and the average American voter is without a foundation from which to discern fact from fiction.

Truth is lost in a sea of lies hidden beneath a progressive sounding name. What we now call “fact” was not so long ago recognized by average Americans as leftist propaganda – lies.

Before political correctness infected all of American society, facts were those stubborn things supported by hard evidence, that didn’t have a political side in the fight. Now they are those things cherry-picked or invented by political operatives, not on the basis of reality, but rather on the basis of how they fit the agenda at hand.

In the good ole days, Americans allowed the hard facts to develop their opinions and political views. Today, political views and agendas are allowed to develop suitable supportive facts, even if they have to be invented from thin air.

Political correctness is nothing more than a means of silencing political debate. The end result is a society that never talks to each other, now too confused to separate real facts from politically driven fiction.

The average American seldom reads beyond the headlines to the body of the column before deciding they are already an expert on every subject. Many Americans have adopted a “Don’t Talk to Me” policy, so insecure in their belief systems that they dare not allow anyone to challenge that belief system for fear that they will find themselves cornered and embarrassed, unable to support their beliefs with any real facts.

Rather than face any form of reality that would force them to reconsider their entire belief system, they opt to simply avoid the discussion entirely by hiding behind the notion that they have the right not to be offended, or in other words, challenged on their thinking, or lack their of.

So, here we are, 232 years into the grand human experiment of absolute freedom and liberty, about to vote ourselves back into self-induced tyranny and bondage under the so-called progressive ideas of Democratic Socialism.

That’s a leftist Marx-like reality, but its new name is equality. It turns out that Marx was right about one thing. “Democracy is the new road to socialism.”

Free peoples would not have to be forced into socialism at gun point, if they could be trained or tricked into voting for it, via the constant quest for gifts from the public trough.

Thomas Jefferson saw the same long-term potential outcome for “democracy” that Marx saw. But what was political opportunity for Marx, was a frightening and ill-advised potential outcome for Jefferson.

Only two factors are involved…according to Jefferson. 

• A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.
• I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Americans have been tricked into both now. Most believe America is a “democracy” whereby fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine. The Founders’ representative republic, which assured every individual certain unalienable rights, has been replaced by the mob rule mentality of special interest voting blocs.

Americans have also bought hook, line and sinker into the Marxist idea that our government should TAKE “from each according to his ability;” and redistribute once private resources “to each according to his need.” They have failed to “prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”

Of course, it is not politically correct to point out any of these realities. People, leftists in particular, will take offense to having the truth shoved in their face. And since they have the right not to be offended, we do not have the right to say things that might offend them.

The end result is a nation divided down the center line that separates capitalism from communism, freedom from socialism, the only two economic systems on earth, all others being only a temporary stepping stone somewhere on the path between the two.

Americans now prefer to invent their own facts and you don’t dare offend them by challenging any of those so-called facts.

Americans supporting Barack Obama have no idea what kind of change they are demanding from the likes of a well-documented Democratic Socialist, or any other current Democrat operating under the total direction of the Democratic Socialists of America, through their Progressive Congressional Caucus and beyond.

Though minimal effort and study will confirm the direct connection between today’s Democrat Party and Socialism, few Americans will ever take the time to make a connection that they can not afford to make. And the leftist news media, now to include FOX Network, aka ObamaTV, operates at the direction of the international socialist agenda as well.

Convinced that government is the solution to even the smallest personal challenge, they can not afford to learn the reality that they are foolishly voting America and every American into bondage. They dare not consider the reality that it is they who are systematically deconstructing America.

They are deeply committed to allowing their government to waste the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. They are equally committed to using their democracy as nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine, in order to shove their way to the public trough.

And, America is doomed to the ash heap of failed Democratic experiments of self-governance as a result. Any effort to wake up the American electorate at this late date will be met with this response…

Don’t Talk to Me! I’ll invent my own facts, Thank You…

Send this article to all of your “progressive” friends and family and watch how fast they become offended and demand that you never attempt to discuss this subject with them again… Watch how fast they invent new facts to defend their otherwise defenseless march into socialism.

Even self-styled “conservatives” have lost the gift of reason today. Ask them to help stop Obamessiah from putting the final nail in Americas coffin and you’ll hear a crisp - Don’t Talk to Me! I’ll invent my own facts, Thank You…
