The PC” movement is just
“one more termite eating away at the foundations of Western civilization
itself.”
Fox TV offers two programs: “God Friended Me” and “Proven Innocent.” Each has a fine cast and both run at 9pm when
most families still allow children to view television…both include lesbian
characters and alternative lifestyle characters. Proven Innocent is a ‘in-your-face’ start the
show with a steamy naked lesbian pair kissing inside a prison scene…not exactly
written for families in my opinion.
“God
Friended Me” offers a diverse cast of racial/gender characters with a good
hearted but non-believing son of Black widowed minister all of who seem to be
seeking a higher purpose in life. The
minister is further challenged in the fact that he has a daughter who is a
lesbian but the show doesn’t highlight it very often. The program is a delight in that it
encompasses eastern, Judaic and western religious and philosophic doctrines
together so its characters come together to help strangers usually in a
somewhat odd manner.
Regardless,
there has been a significant push by the Gay community in Hollywood to
normalize their agenda via TV commercials [even drug companies now make use of
gay couples on prime time commercials], magazine ads, prime time shows, etc. in
order to make their behavior mainstream.
At any given time throughout history [according to The History of Sex Through the Ages] an average of six percent or
the population has been gay at any given time but if TV is any indication, one
would think that percentage is much higher.
Biology
and reproduction aside I believe most scientists agree this is something an
individual is born with, it is not a choice.
In many
respects, because of the way I was brought up [my mother instilled the idea in
us that our goal in life was to see how we might help someone each day] I find
the show a breath of fresh air in light of our state of political rancor.
This is
why I am running the following piece on the folly of Political Correctness…
I believe I first heard
the term “political correctness” used on a Saturday Night Live show back in about 1980. And I thought it
was just a joke – like most of the things on SNL. But it turned out to be a real thing, and it’s
been building momentum, for at least the last two generations. Where is it
going to end? I’m not sure, but it’s just one more termite eating away at the
foundations of Western civilization itself. People that go along with this
stuff aren’t just crazy. They’re actually evil. They’re the same types who
rallied around Robespierre during the French Revolution, Lenin during the
Russian Revolution, Hitler in ’30s Germany, and Mao in China. It’s a certain
personality type.
The fact that the
average American still puts up with this kind of nonsense and treats it with
respect is a bad sign. PC values are continually inculcated into kids that go
off to college – which, incidentally, is another idiotic mistake that most
people make for both economic and philosophical reasons. It’s a real cause for
pessimism.
Justin: I agree 100%, Doug. But here’s something our
average reader might not realize.
The PC “movement” is
actually happening across the world.
For example, Cardiff
Metropolitan University in the U.K. banned words like “mankind,” “homosexual,”
“housewife,” “manmade,” and “sportsmanship” in an effort to “promote fairness
and equality through raising awareness about the effects of potentially discriminatory
vocabulary.”
Here are some of the
university’s approved alternatives…
Instead of “manpower,”
students and faculty should say “human resources.”
Instead of “mankind,”
“humanity.”
Instead of
“sportsmanship,” “fairness.”
Instead of “polio
victim,” “polio survivor.”
So here we have another
university trying to legislate what people can and cannot say in the name of
fairness and equality.
But I really don’t see
how this accomplishes anything. Would you agree?
Doug: Completely. The words you use control the
way you think. These people don’t have good intentions, they have bad
intentions. Destructive intentions. They’re opposed to all the things that,
starting with Ancient Greece, made Western civilization unique, and better than
any other on Earth. They’re opposed to the concepts of individualism, personal
freedom, capitalism, economic liberty, free thought, and the like. And it
starts with controlling the words you use. George Orwell pointed that out
in 1984 where
he created “Newspeak,” which was a new version of the English language that
used all kinds of different new words in order to change the way people think.
And to make it impossible for them to think clearly, because the words were
purposely misdefined, often to the opposite of the meanings that they actually
have. So, sure, this is part of the continuing corruption of Western
civilization itself.
And you’re right, it’s
not just in American universities. It’s in universities everywhere, because the
culture of universities everywhere has been controlled by this whole class of
progressives, social justice warriors, cultural Marxists, socialists – they go
under a number of names. I don’t know what’s going to be done about it, quite
frankly, because the average person doesn’t have A) the backbone and B) the
philosophical knowledge to counter these people. So there’s great cause for
pessimism, watching this happen and accelerate. It’s not slowing down, it’s
accelerating everywhere.
For instance, some years
ago I sat on the Board of Trustees of two different universities. The other
trustees weren’t academics, but normal, successful middle-class people. And
they were completely snowed by these crazy trends. They were of good will, but
they’d been brainwashed by their own educations, and the culture around them,
into thinking that although perhaps the SJWs and such were going “too far,”
they didn’t actively oppose them. I’m afraid the intellectual and psychological
battle has been lost.
Justin: Exactly, it seems people across the world
are waging a war on their own freedom of speech. Meanwhile, you have the
government waging a war on people’s privacy…
Facebook and internet
service providers are hawking private browsing data, Google is listening in on
our conversations, the CIA is hacking people’s smartphones…
As disturbing as this
all is, I can’t say I’m surprised. Are you?
Doug: No, I wasn’t at all surprised by it. But
people’s reaction to these horrible things is that, “Well, the CIA should be
reined in a bit, they should be brought under control.” But this is the wrong
reaction. The CIA – along with the NSA, the DEA, and a bunch of others – should
be abolished, because the CIA has become an actual Praetorian guard. It’s
become a government within a government. They have their own armed forces, they
have their own sources of income. You can go rogue within the CIA, and if
you’re powerful enough or clever enough you can basically do what you want
because you’re an armed government agent that’s a member of a very powerful group.
These people are
completely out of control. And they have a powerful propaganda machine that
works around the clock to convince ignorant and paranoid Boobus americanus that they’re actually good guys, working
for his interests against the rest of the world.
The CIA should be
abolished because it’s dysfunctional, but also because it serves no useful
purpose. It’s never ever predicted, through its so-called “intelligence
gathering,” anything of value – ever. The Korean War, the rise of Castro, the
fall of the Shah, the rise of Islam, the fact that the Soviet Union was just an
empty shell – you know, they thought the Soviet Union was actually competing
with the U.S. from an economic point of view. They’re always absolutely wrong
on everything. It defies the odds of pure chance. They’re not just useless, but
extremely dangerous. All the coups and revolutions they’ve plotted were
disasters.
Can you abolish them?
Can you get rid of them at this point? No, they’re far too powerful. And
anybody that tries is either going to be killed and/or discredited by their
black propaganda. At this point the situation’s completely out of control, and
we just have to see where it ends. As an individual American, you should try to
insulate yourself from these people. Because they’re not going away; they’re
going to become even more powerful.
Justin: How can the average American do that? Should
they flee to another country? Delete their Facebook? Is this something people
can even escape?
Doug: It’s now a very small world, so it’s very hard
to escape. But you just mentioned something to consider. I spend two-thirds of
the year in South America, and travel a lot. Believe it or not, I don’t
personally have a cell phone, because I don’t like to feel tethered to an
electronic device. Societies down here aren’t nearly as electronically oriented
as they are in the U.S. Though my internet connection in Cafayate, Argentina is
much better than the one I have in Aspen. So, yes, that’s one thing. It’s easier
to be out of sight and out of mind of the bad guys if you’re out of the U.S.,
which is the epicenter of all of this. I think that’s important. And being
physically absent and trying to limit your use of electronic devices and be
careful when you do use them. That’s about all you can do at this point.
Or you can be a good
little lamb, and never think out of the box. To mix metaphors, you can act like
an ostrich and stick your head in the sand, believing you have nothing to hide,
because you’re one of the herd who never does anything wrong. Too few people
have read Harvey Silverglate’s book where he points out how the average
American often commits about three felonies a day.
But that book is surely
inaccurate. It’s 10 years old. Now it’s probably like five felonies a day.

49.6% of Millennials
& Generation Z who prefer living in a socialist nation-how about if we
offer a contest where they could win a one-way ticket to the socialist country
of their choice – the main caveat is the could never return to the United
States. I’ll pay for the damned ticket
if others help me devise and promote the contest…let me hear from you if you’re

I heard somewhere, perhaps on Tucker Carlson, the number one complaint of most mainstream citizens about the far left and Progressives, lamestream media and society in general is we can no longer voice our opinions when they run contrary to what the PC crowd mandates for fear of social repercussions-I believe it & feel it amounts to a lot of BS!
Your columns and resources are always a breath of fresh air!
So much BS & so little time to put up with the crap-I try to ignore as much of it as possible...
