For the left it’s just a tactic
To cry we are in trouble climatic
What a bore
Those movies by Gore
Are anything but didatic

Thinking about teaching, I am reminded that we but witness to our condition in every act, word and thought. Didacticism is the expression of self through instructing. We teach that other might become more like ourselves, for better or for worse.
Liberal instruction is not liberal and it is not instruction. It is the didactic instruction of violence and deceit heaped upon its listeners. Some are sponges, soaking up the bitter dregs from media and hate filled politicians. Other listeners are patriots who see and hear voices that must be forever silenced if our national conversation is to be more than a violent brawl.

I have always found it infuriating when some low-grade moron in the grip of Dunning-Kruger thinks to wax didactic, and commences to spray leftard idiocy all over me like some spitting cobra on meth.

I need a way to find it comic instead.

Obama speaks slowly, didactic
A speech flaw? More likely a tactic
Of cadence, an art
To imply that he’s smart
Too bad dad didn’t use a prophylactic

I love to read, but as soon as I detect a didactic agenda in what is supposed to be a novel...I rebel a bit.

Because of this, John Galt’s 70 page speech in “Atlas Shrugged” rubbed me the wrong way.

I guess that makes me a heretic! :-)

Trump gives a didactic speech with flair
Almost giving the MSM fake media a double dog dare.
Filled with hate
They take the bait
And spew out obvious lies totally unaware.
