Let Freedom Ring

From daily timewaster blog

Abandon your safe spaces, identity politics and speech codes. Let freedom ring!

Old Contract

From daily timewaster blog

Must provide safe spaces.

Fond Memories

Those were the the days when:

- Commercial breaks were 60- second spots for a single company or product

- Movies caused you to suspend disbelief

- Democrats didn't disparage their country

- Higher education didn't require you to mortgage your future

- There was a "free speech" movement

- Food stamps were actual stamps

- Our immigration system was working

- PBS didn't have "promotional" interruptions

- It was impolite to be on your phone in a social setting

- News stories gave you who, what, when and where

- Schools were safe spaces in and of themselves

- Voters did not outnumber those registered

- Gee, that old LaSalle ran great

Pointy Heads

Zippy

As we often do, my wife and I were observing the loopy state of the world this morning and we stumbled upon anther paradox which needs to be dissected. There are two major motivators in society -- logic and emotion. The left tends to behave more out of emotion and the right, leaning on logic. Now our university elites, one would assume, are, or should be, grounded in logical thought growing out of their study of the great thinkers of history. Therefore, again one would assume, these  pedagogues would resist the soppy reasoning associated with progressive activism (while privilege, safe spaces, virtue signaling, etc.).

But no! The right-reasoning process seems mostly dead on our college campuses ... and emotion rules our ivory towers. Cold, hard logic is too often eschewed and is replaced by slogans and mindless chants. Why this has occurred is beyond the understanding of this observer ... and, apparently, also is not up for discussion in the classrooms of many of our pointy-headed professors.

Afterthought:Perhaps our prejudice against the state of higher education comes from the growth of hyphenized "studies"courses relative to the classics. This lopsided expansion of "soft" vs. tradotional studies is, in our opinion, rotting out o our educational foundation ... which should concern everyone.

Euphemisms

More and more our PC society is shying away from telling it like it is. We have long used terms like"sanitation engineer" for "garbage man" and "little people" for "midgets." But our Mongol hordes of liberals are working overtime to morph our language into incomprehensibility. Here are some recently collected examples of such euphemisms:

Safe space -- imaginary site devoid of harsh word or deed

Memory-care center -- senility institution

Reproductive health -- abortion

Cultural appropriation -- acting black, being white

Black lives matter -- all police are murderers

Workplace violence -- Islamic terrorism

Gender fluidity -- AC/DC

The Green Party -- the Red Party

Gun safety -- gun control

Undocumented citizen -- illegal alien

Ethnic lightning -- arson

Differently-abled -- handicapped

White privilege -- black resentment

Hooking up -- having sex

Living will -- permission to euthanize

Micro-aggression -- societal slight

Afterward/  The Obummer administration has now decided to call criminals "justice involved individuals." Neato!

Questions

Are transgender bathrooms "safe spaces" or "micro-aggressions" or possibly "white privileges?" Or rather are they wack-a-doodle constructs from our sinister poobahs to keep us distracted while they perform more fundamental mischief upon our nation.
