It is not madness. It is all designed for the total control of culture, economy, thought and speech.
It’s spiritual. All error is traceable to a wrong view of God.
This can go in two distinctly different directions.
No, liberalism is insane. That covers madness. It is always in that state.
That must be the least enjoyable piece I’ve ever read at americanthinker.com.
The start of the finish of liberalism as we know of it.
What they want may not correspond to some big picture of what would be right or best, but it's hardly madness.
Or if it is, madness is almost universal.
OUTSTANDING comments BUMP!
“...madness”? No...it is just LIB moonbats being LIB moonbats. To think otherwise is to probably perform a “hate” crime.
It is, as others, notably the Dalrymple reference above, have pointed out: it is not so much the insanity itself that is the issue, it is the ability of its progenitors themselves to force their target audience to accept it as the new norm, that is the issue. This is an act of pure political aggression and those progenitors know it.
The "bathroom" dilemma, for example. It is a fight that the Left picked deliberately, not so much as to allow the mentally challenged access to the crapper of their choice as to allow the activists the ability to force the issue. It was an opportunity to call those goaded into reaction "bigots". It was an opportunity to stifle and intimidate dissent, and so far, although it has had very mixed success, (the less so for having been announced as complete victory in the complicit media), it has, at least, been able to commandeer the front page. That in itself is a degree of victory.
But it is merely a distraction, a victory in battle that is likely to cost them the war, for war it is, and it succeeds best if the victims don't recognize it. And we've had our noses rubbed in it. The reaction - well, the reaction in the form of one Donald Trump is one that horrifies them. They're not pretending, they never thought it would come to this.
Other examples abound. The ability of criminal agitation in the person of Black Lives Matter comes to mind. This is the black KKK come to full fruition, with a federally-guaranteed access directly to the soft underbelly of academia, ground long prepared by the Left and now pretty much ripe for harvest. Again, state-sanctioned criminal activity, violence, intimidation, with little recourse to the compromised enforcement of law. That, too, is pure political aggression, and like most bullies its prosecutors are astonished and infuriated at resistance.
Hence the insanity. Again, it is not so much the demand that the target believe three impossible things before breakfast, but the ability to force him to do so or at least to forcibly prevent him from expressing any reservation under penalty of being branded a bigot, social ostracism, and legal penalties such as the loss of job, business, personal fortune or reputation. It is a decades-long Cold War that has run its course and absent a complete and convincing electoral repudiation, leaves only the recourse of violent resistance. And the difficulty with the latter is that the agitators historically have no idea when the threshold has been crossed until the tumbrels start to roll.
