Great, great point. We are seeing the fruits of decades of a liberal education system that values two things above all things: uniformity of thought (Multiculturalism is about skin color--there is a rigorous orthodoxy that must be followed, i.e. "we're all the same under the skin"; ditto Oprah and her belief that ALL religions are basically the same)and lack of conflict/aggression (male aggression/patriarchy/etc.).
"Let's not fight" is their mantra, because in the end, hey, nothing is so important that we have to get all upset about it.
Their goal is a room-temperature world where no one works, no one argues, no one says something truly disagreeable. In other words, they long for a zombified world of consensus. I mean, as long as they don't see women being shot in the head in Afghanistan or raped in Iraq, the one who is to blame for the ugliness required to end those practices is the REAL villain. Moore's F 9/11 is the perfect example of this: He ONLY shows idyllic shots of Iraq pre-invasion, and ONLY shows horrible imagery post-invasion.
George Bush is hated because he dared turn over the nice, quiet rocks out there and exposed the bugs and scorpions living under them, and the media have gleefully covered every moment of pain such an overturning regrettably causes...yet CNN covered up for Saddam when he was raining terror down on his people, so since we didn't see it, BUSH is the source of the horrible images we see.
The news media have no time for the innocents slaughtered by Muslims for their beliefs, but they endlessly caterwaul over some men arrested in a war zone. (If only those men were Christians, there'd be not a word of complaint...)
The leftists of the world prove that after decades of leaving them to educate our children while the rest of us worked in the real world, outside academe, there are two kinds of people now. They can be labelled a multitude of ways but for this post I'll say they are Curchill People and Chamberlain People. The latter are winning.
Excellent post!
Wow. Bttt.
