With ‘Woke’ Identity Politics
Is there anything they won’t spoil?
s there literally anything left that they won’t try to ruin by injecting ‘woke’ identity politics into it?
The 50th anniversary of Neil Armstrong becoming the first man to set foot on the Moon is this weekend.
Instead of using the celebration of the Apollo Moon landing to bring Americans together in a time of intense partisan bickering, the New York Times and the Washington Post are exploiting it to divide Americans even further.
“The Apollo program was designed by men, for men. If we do not acknowledge the gender bias of the early space program, it becomes difficult to move past it,” tweeted the Times, with a link to a story about women having to “escape Earth’s gender bias”.
Not to be outdone, the Washington Post took the opportunity to take another swipe at that new embodiment of evil incarnate; white men.
“The culture that put men on the moon was intense, fun, family-unfriendly, and mostly white and male,” they tweeted.
Because there’s nothing like throwing the very people who got America to the Moon under a bus on the 50th anniversary of their stunning achievement.
Respondents to the tweets were decidedly unimpressed.
“D-Day, June, 1944. A culture mostly white and male,” joked one.
“WaPo has just encouraged hating the people that put people on the Moon? A sickly rag at best,” added another.
Both tweets were ratioed into oblivion. Americans are sick of everything being filtered through the lens of identity politics.
And consider this: Surrender By Subterfuge

Interesting. A well done, low budget film.
Too bad they destroy it with the insane racism in the last half.
Whitey bad. Blacks good.
Then they should do a feature on Poppy Northcutt. She was an attractive 24-year-old woman, blond in a mini-skirt, and was the first woman in NASA's flight control room responsible for return trajectories.
She leveraged her position to become a rabid feminist and LGBTQWERTY activist.
Then...
Now...

Very good point.
We take for granted so much that required enormous amounts of labor to produce in the past.
A set of clothes cost an ordinary person many days of work.
Nothing is more effective at seeing how much we’ve declined as a nation, basically at the hands of the corrupt Hollywood media crowd pushing their activist commie agenda than watching old movies of older 40s-70s America, as you have so aptly stated. If conservatives and patriots don’t start actively defending our culture we will lose everything.
We’ve allowed our nation to be contaminated with communist activist infiltrators claiming to be social justice warriors who are in reality are obsessed anarchist elites like ANTIFA trashing the legacy whites who died by the hundreds of thousands in wars that few of them ever fought.
They act as if they lined up ten thousand people of all races, colors, sexes, sizes, weights and just selected white men.
It is absolutely preposterous. Nothing at all to do with aptitude, training, education, interests. Nope, just racist, sexist selection drove the entire moon program.
Been a few women in space, a few “made it” as fighter pilots and a few came close to making it in car racing...for some reason their bodies don’t seem to have the same qualities that allows men to do better....
“The Apollo program was designed by men, for men.

The steady downward spiral of 'legacy' media continues to puzzle anal-ysts.
Today is the 50th anniversary of the death of Mary Jo Kopechne at the hands of then Democrat Senator Ted Kennedy.........
Not a word from the MSM........
Did they mention the more enlightened culture that beat us to the Moon?
“The culture that put men on the moon was intense, fun, family-unfriendly, and mostly white and male,”
Let us hope and pray that this will translate into a Yuge landslide in 2020.
Senators Manchin & Capito woke up from their restful senatorial naps to show up and claim credit.
They work for them.
Actually, we had a certain amount of PC back then, though not as bad as it would be today:
