We are seeing increasing episodes of delusional people, some of whom are in powerful positions, calling good evil and calling evil good.
George W. Julian was a Free-Soil Party congressman during Abraham Lincoln’s terms as president. According to Julian, during a discussion about issuing the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln posed a particular riddle on how many legs a dog has (Lincoln actually said “calf,” but it has come down to us as “dog”):
Abraham Lincoln faced with some thorny issue that could be settled by a twist of language, or a slight abuse of power, asks his questioner how many legs would a dog have, if we called the dog’s tail, a leg. “Five,” the questioner responds confident in his mathematical ability to do simple addition.
“No,” Lincoln says. “Calling a dog’s tail a leg, doesn’t make it a leg.”
The particulars of this story apply to today’s society and the world in which we live. Things and persons are what they are. A tree is a tree. You can call it a bush as often as you wish, but it is still a tree. A fact is a fact. You can wish it were something else, but it is still a fact.
Where am I going with this, you might ask? Let me answer that for you. Today, we are witnessing all too many delusional people who seem to think that if you call a man a woman, that makes him a woman (or vice versa). That just is not true. I will agree that a person of either sex can dress and look like the opposite sex if they wish, but that person is simply a transvestite, since there is no way any individual can alter the sex chromosomes with which he is born.

The left is often willing to use force to make others live in their false reality.
How about declaring an emergency when there isn’t one.
If they do not like a fact, they call it disinformation.
2+2=5
Maybe the calf identified as a dog with five legs.
The little doggy in the dress was priceless!
Good piece.
Thanks for posting.
If they get you to accept and affirm a false statement, like “2 + 2 = 5” or “a man is a woman” then they have destroyed your critical thinking facility and you belong to them. You will accept whatever they say and do whatever they tell you to.
I gotta know. Do these people really believe the crap they say, like a man can get pregnant? Are they just pushing their agenda or do they REALLY believe it?
That was a fräulein.
2 + 2 = whatever the State says it means.
I thought this story was attributed to Mark Twain?🤔
It’s amazing how much time and energy is being expended on a tiny minority of mentally ill people…
To put a perhaps finer point on it, “glorifying and worshipping a tiny minority of mentally ill people...”
All cats have three tails
Proof:
One cat has one more tail than no cat.
No cat has two tails.
Therefore, one cat has three tails.
My cat has no tail
So another cat has two. Got it. Now, off to fly a bizjet.
