There has been a long-term agenda to change these United States from the conception birthed by our Founding Fathers to something where the power elite control the “Great Unwashed” through the cooperation and demands of the rank and file sheep of the flock. Some parts of the agenda span only a few years while others take over a century to unfold. You might call it a “ten-point program”, a “new world order” or “hope and change”. Over the next two weeks the plan will be presented in no particular order.
The Plan — Part 7: Stifle debate and force consensus; Identify; isolate and surveil opposition and their leaders. Threaten them with sedition. Criminalize dissent. Denigrate and ridicule American traditions and moral values.
There is a lot of talk these days, in the social media, on television and radio, in print media and on college campuses about free speech. Most of this talk is not worth very much. Especially when those who have been conditioned by the virus of “political correctness are confronted by an ethos opposed to their own that we find just how “intolerant” those who preach tolerance really are.
The cultural script of American society has changed drastically from what was considered the behavioral norm from WW II through the mid-1960’s. Here is a short list:
-Get married BEFORE you have children.
–Stay committed to the marriage if for no other reason than to provide stability for the children.
–Get the education you need to get and keep gainful employment.
–Work hard and avoid idleness.
–Go the extra mile for your employer or client.
–Be a patriot ready to serve your country.
–Be neighborly.
–Avoid coarse and vulgar language in public.
–Be charitable
–Be respectful of authority.
–Avoid substance abuse and criminal behavior.
These societal norms defined the concept of what a responsible adult was. They were the major contributor to the productivity, educational gains and social coherence of the “Post-war baby boom”.
While ridiculed by the socially permissive culture of today, driven by the agenda of the societal elites, re-embracing that cast aside culture would go a long way toward addressing the social pathologies that plague our present society.
Not all cultures are equal in the preparation of people to be productive citizens in today’s society. The culture of the Lakota native Americans, for example, was designed for nomadic hunters and gatherers. The skills taught are not suitable for survival in our 21st. Century environment.
Neither are the single-parent, anti-social habits prevalent among some blue collar Whites. Nor is the “anti-acting-White” rap culture of inner-city Blacks or the “anti-assimilation” ideas prevalent among Hispanic and Muslim immigrants useful or productive.
So, what is likely to be the outcome if dissent and opposition are denigrated, shouted down and/or criminalized? What if we, as a society, continue to abandon those ethics and principles that made the United States “the shining beacon on the hill” to so many?
What if the progressive analysis of inequality is wrong and the norms of responsible adult behavior of the “Post-War baby boomers” and their parents was right?
What if we allow these mostly baseless charges of “racism” or Nazism” or “stereotyping and bias” or sexism” or “xenophopia” to bring discussion and debate to stop? What if “offensive” speech is deemed “unacceptable” and is silenced, first through social pressure and later through the force of law?
What if George Orwell was right and we willing forged our own chains of slavery to the Newspeak where the politically correct was the source of “Bellyfeel” “Goodthink” and adherence to responsible adult behavior and ethics is “Thoughtcrime”?
