Mark Twain Denounced as Thought Criminal

To build a utopian America where everything is perfect as defined by our wise liberal ruling class, first the old America must be eradicated. That means erasing the heritage that makes the country what it is. National treasures like Mark Twain have to go:

An effort to name a Lake Tahoe cove after American literary icon Mark Twain has been scuttled for the second time in three years, citing opposition from a tribe that says the writer held racist views of Native Americans.

It should be noted that most everyone who lived in the 19th century held views of Indians that would be regarded as “racist” according to modern liberal ideology. It should also be noted that one reason Twain’s writing was more interesting than the P.C. pabulum excreted today is that he took an irreverent tone toward everyone, having no way of knowing that one day it would be a thought crime to poke fun at any group revered as victims.

The Nevada State Board on Geographic Names this week voted to indefinitely table the request after hearing opposition from the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California, whose ancestral homeland includes Lake Tahoe. Darrel Cruz, head of the tribe’s cultural resource department, said the late author did not deserve to have a scenic cove on the lake’s northeast shore named for Samuel Clemens, Twain’s real name.

With all due respect to Mr. Cruz, why is up to him what we name lakes? I thought we won the Indian Wars. Otherwise, we would be sleeping on the ground in teepees and dying of old age at 32.

But of course, it isn’t Indians suppressing our culture and deleting our heritage. It is cultural Marxists, who use people like Cruz the same way they exploit blacks, gays, et cetera. Before they are finished with their fundamental transformation, no one will remember that Mark Twain ever lived.
