Why is it in any way surprising?

Why, indeed.

The press and the academic community, in particular, share an inclination to self-deception about the trends of history based on the happy illusion that Mankind is progressing toward some sort of millenium or Ideal State; perfection of society (as if such a thing could even be defined, let alone engendered) as a substitute for perfection of the soul, which has been the ageless basis of all true religion.

Lenin saw this early on, and required his followers to eschew religion in favor of the worship of The State, with himself as G-d.

Thus the beliefs of society’s intellectuals became almost infinitely malleable, to the point where nothing had any fixed meaning anymore.

We see this now with the situation vis a vis marriage; any and every idiot who walks the planet knows what a marriage is, and yet, if the Marxists can redefine political terms to mean whatever they like, then why shouldn’t homosexuals take a page from their playbook?

This is the essence of political correctness - define the terms of the discussion and restrict the terms allowable to the opponent.

In this way, the campaign to redefine a simple English term has become so well established, that everyone now debates whether we as a society should allow “homosexual marriage” - tacitly yielding the point that such a fictional entity could even exist.

It cannot, but no one even thinks to make the point anymore.

In this way, all traditional values are eroded and lost, with the ensuing and perfectly predictable social chaos; the very chaos Marxists depend upon to revolutionize societies - invariably downward toward failure.

However, it is a failure they can exploit in order to gain power.

To be a Marxist is to live by such distortions, and when you’re in the habit of lying to others, it becomes quite natural - indeed, an ingrained habit - to lie to yourself, as well.

And that is precisely why so many people don’t look at what Obama does or consider what he says; they look only at what he “intends” - the habit of lying to themselves is so ingrained that they they give him credit for all sorts of things which simply are not there.
