First I want to thank those who read my last post and left such wonderful and insightful comments. I hope it is OK with them that I use them a bit, as their words will speak volumes.
On the subject of the cancel culture and education. A quote from one reader, “My friends and other people I know are reacting to the absolute absurdity they see on the news regarding the riots, political insurgents of radical left ideas etc., but what scares me most is what they don’t see. Take for example the 1619 project and what it means as a weapon against our children’s learning and mindset, not to mention our history as a nation. How does this get instituted into our education system without full examination and review from the public? I don’t understand how we can sit back and allow something like this to continue! Where is the outrage? Where is the push back? Where are our representatives? Where is the press? Where are the local school boards?
The 1619 Project aims to recast Americans’ concept of their nation as one founded on freedom, equality and opportunity into one irremediably corrupted by slavery, inequality and racism. Using distortions, half-truths and outright falsehoods, the Times promotes a narrative that our founding ideals, allegedly false from the beginning, remain so, by extension, today. Paired with the project’s inaccuracies is an ideological slant, representing the “American left’s ongoing campaign to rewrite history” and approach history “not as a search for truth but as a vehicle for advancing a political agenda. And that my friend is WRONG! When will we stand up and say no? I hope in November.”, I have to admit that pretty much says it all.
His question, where is the push back? Where is the press? Well push back, those in power that could push back, don’t have the spine to call them out on this. Where is the press? Oh hell, they are the biggest supporter of this whole movement. They, the mainstream media / press are the most important weapon the liberal socialists have.
The Democrat / Liberal / Socialists plan for victory plan is to overwhelm President Trump and the American people with crisis after crisis until the public is so sick of it, they vote Trump out of office in hopes of returning to normal. The return to normal will NEVER happen if the Democrat / Liberal / Socialists get into power in 2020. The return to normal will be what they want it to be. To control us, and our kids / grand kids, teach our kids the new ‘reframed’ history. Teach them that that riots, violence are ok and the way to achieve your goals, or just plain be a bunch of spoiled asses. You can see this is already happening in Chicago, Seattle, Portland, amd other cities. Riots and violence every night since Floyd was killed, hell that is not even the point anymore, that is back on page 58 of the new paper. It is all about civil unrest, and destroying as much as possible in the name of some cause. Where is the push back? None of the mayors of those cities have any balls or leadership, so no push back there. NONE of the state government had anything to say, once again no balls or leadership. So at the Federal level Trump sends in DHS, and others, and OMG, he is the devil, and the worst thing there is. Why, because he has balls, and he is a leader, but NOT NOT, to their liking. As a matter of fact, the ACLU is trying to get a movement going to, you got it, DEFUND DHS, because of the treatment of the RIOTERS in those cities was unfair and DHS DHS isn’t capable of acting consistently with the U.S. Constitution. Really, so it was OK to destroy the lives and businesses and property they did, and who is the hell is the ACLU to interpret U.S. Constitution. Remember what ACLU stands for, the middle 2 words are CIVIL LIBERTIES. So I guess it is ok to trash and destroy, and those that try and stop them are in violation of their CIVIL LIBERTIES.
We all need to make it known where we stand on this, and I am going to research how we do this, As I am not sure yet.
As a side not, I see Biden today said he will make it a Federal Mandate that everyone will wear a mask if he becomes President. Well first, to me, that is the best he can do, OMG, I think there are more important things he needs to address, but it is kinda funny to see him trying to act Presidential. More on him at a later date.
Thank you all for your input / comments, I value everyone of them, thank you so much.
As always we are blessed with today, and tomorrow is a new day.
