"30 years of postmodern teaching in our law and graduate schools have insidiously convinced many of our elites that there is no absolute truth, only competing narratives that take on credence depending on the race, class, gender, and access to power of those who speak."
But some narratives are more equal than others.
When they get "bitter" and "cling to guns and religion"...their narrative is considered invalid. It is a pretty straight line from the Richard Hofstadter liberalism and Frankfurt School theory the One absorbed at Columbia and Harvard to the DoubleThink and Big Brotherism of Obammunism. The same multiculturalist and Marxist prohibition of φρόνησις and asking of logical questions which would expose the fraud, sophistry, newspeak, charlatanism, and dishonesty of all of this. The same elites who howled most loudly and hysterically about Bush's evangelical "What would Jesus do?" comment now revere Obama as a god and messiah. They can't see the irony of this?
Yet none dare touch upon the sham affirmative action, slick Soros handlers and glad-handing benefactors who have elevated the One through Columbia and Harvard Law, escorted on red carpets and Greek temple columns before adoring cameras and journalists, to make all of this charade possible. The Alinskyite Deweyite idol sashaying around the world denigrating America and Western culture while proclaiming the U.S. is no longer a Christian nation. Generally speaking, we don't usually have pharaohs demanding worship in the West. Liberals may their own Separation of Church and State problem here with the Caliphate of Obama.
” But some narratives are more equal than others.”
