There are numerous things that are irritating to me, and possibly many others of my pre-war education classes, so as space will permit it seems appropriate to check into some of them.
In my lifetime, it has been observed that those whose agenda involves changes for which there is no logic or common sense are the most vociferous and loud. They are the ones who actively attempt to squelch whatever the opposition might attempt to present as logical. We see that every time a network “news” or “comment” show is on. The “left wing” follower will simply keep shouting to drown out whatever the person with a differing view is saying.
Not only that, but the agenda includes using long-accepted terms to mean the exact opposite of the original meaning, such as “progressive” as a title for those pushing for Socialism or its cousin Communism. The true original “progressives” were the founders of the United States who envisioned a government where the people should have a voice in who would be those governing (not ruling) them and laws protecting their God-given rights.
Those claiming the term progressive really should be labeled as “regressive” since the only way that a government of Communism, Fascism or Socialism can exist is as a totalitarian dictatorship.
A real good example of such title switching would be the use of the term “right wing” for the “Third Reich” under control of the Nazi Party in Germany. The actual title of their government, made by them, was “The Socialist Republic of Germany” – considered to be “Left Wing.”
Unfortunately, those seeking to mislead or falsely inform the population are aided massively by those fed the Socialist agenda in the journalism schools in our colleges and universities during the last seven or eight decades.
The result has turned out to be the same in studios of major and national electronic media throughout most of the nation, and certainly the major print media, particularly those whose ownership rests with large corporations the managers of which have been similarly misguided.
The situation now is so biased that children in grades a low as first grade are subjected to indoctrination in favor of those left-wing attitudes by teachers, and some superintendents, who have likewise been totally immersed in such misguided ideas while in school.
Another problem is that those of that mindset have no logical grounds for what they espouse and instead resort to loudness to shout down any common sense opposition to their beliefs. We see that almost every day in the riots upon campuses, often by brought in thugs paid for by certain extremely wealthy self-appointed “future rulers” who want to become the despotic dictators that have been a common form of government since civilization became established on Earth.
These nefarious activists would find it tough sledding if we the people would make it policy to think through everything, especially before casting any vote, to make sure that the infiltration of both major political parties in candidates and party officialdom is brought to an end. It is questionable whether that in the Democrat Party can be reversed, and it is progressing in the Republican Party.
Incidentally, another example of the capture of the language is the officials, both Party and public office, who continually say “Democratic” for the party in control of C/F/S friendly leaders. The original name chartered was “Democrat” and was not changed to my knowledge. As a member, since first registering to vote, of the Republican Party, it offends me when our own members use that word. I see nothing democratic in the Democrat Party.
