The new epistemology must first destroy the established order to clear the ground for the imposition of its utopia. To do this it has devised various tools to manipulate thinking to facilitate its political aims and, when all of this is taken together, it forms a "deconstructive" political philosophy which most of us would regard as "destructive". Feminism, atheism, Freudianism, critical thinking, etc. condition the college students at one level or the denizen of the ghetto on another level, to reject the legitimacy of the existing order of things.
There is very little left after all of this "deconstruction" takes place in the psyche or in the reasoning processes which can truthfully be called "positive." To compensate for this void, the left has seized upon race as the intellectual, emotional, and political refuge of last resort. That is one reason why I constantly harp on Nathan Bedford's maxim: all politics in America is not local but ultimately racial.
The left can play the race card as a sword and a buckler. It has worked beautifully for them and nowhere is the power of this stratagem more flagrantly on display than in the career of Barack Obama. So effective and intimidating is this ploy that during the campaign one dared not even use Obama's middle name. His entire biography was left unexamined or at least not critically examined by the establishment media. He was regarded as the Messiah, a kind of black savior who would fulfill all of the spoken and unspoken yearnings implicit in the race card.
One might also wish to cite, as the author has, the career of Michelle Obama or the recent elevation of Reverend Al to a television gig as further examples of this phenomenon. But the career of Barack Obama has done the country incalculable damage.
We on the right have still not devised any tactic or strategy which is reliably effective to deal with this pernicious doctrine. Progress certainly has been made, Obama himself is no longer untouchable, but the race card still exists and it is played every day. By way of confirmation, one need only think of manufactured allegations of racial taunts which never happened on the infamous walk by Nancy Pelosi and black legislators as they were committing Obamacare.
But more important even than the fact that this pernicious doctrine shuts down debate (as was its purpose during the walk), it shuts down thinking. It rationalizes an academic discipline that has departed from the Enlightenment and seduces our youth with propaganda. Women's studies, African-American studies, even studies of American movies, the list is almost endless, are shameful abnegations of a commitment to real critical thinking for a cheap and easy doctrine of mind control.
America is on the edge of a very difficult trial one in which we will find ourselves beleaguered on all sides by international competitors and domestic 5th columns. If we do not have our thinking clear we will lose the struggle. Those who engage in mind control, who try to place us in this psychic cage, want exactly that result.
