We must get back to common sense, logic and critical thinking and it must begin at home and within our educational institutions
We have all heard it before. Students at colleges and universities around the country are demanding that anyone who has a differing opinion than their own should be tarred, feathered, banned and removed from their sight. Student groups claim that inviting anyone with a differing opinion onto their campus threatens their very safety or well-being. Sound ridiculous? Leaders at these educational institutions are listening to these demands resulting in the creation of a generation that is single-minded, self-absorbed, and intolerant of others all while the same generation demands a voice, respect and tolerance from others.
What happened to “teaching our kids how to think and not what to think?” This old adage is truly at the core of critical thinking and should be practiced at all learning institutions around the country. When a university or college stops exposing our children to differing opinions or ways of life, then we are doomed to live a life that no longer offers diversity, but demands that we all live, act and believe the same.
And NO Leftist propagandists, “Critical Thinking” does not mean sitting around mouthing cliches critical of Western ideals and history.
Logic and discernment.
These come only from the God of Israel.
Anytime ANYONE says anything to me about being offended or need to watch how I say something I confront them head on with a strong get a F’n life, go F yourself and your PC BS.
Correct
My daughter has a Subaru with a bumper sticker that says “Not a Liberal”, and it really set off someone at a stoplight, to the point of him making threats to key her car, and She didn’t say anything to him.
This is an example of how brittle the left has become. They really are taking on fascistic traits.
The PC movement is at the bottom a flexing of ones power. By way of example remember in the 1600 and 1700’s burning at the stake was an expression of power. In short power was expressed through religious bodies. Today Western religion is effectively dead and power expression is through secular and non Christian methods.

They are an existential threat to humanity and that is not overblown tinfoil. those people are taking positions of power throughout world businesses, government and education.
Progressives are as Tyrannical as any on earth.
And their little Useful Idiots are very dangerous.
They’d load us on the cattle cars and smirk as they did it. If they lived long enough.
Well we are at the point of them calling for our arrest in the MSM so cattle cares, if history is an indicator, is about a year out.

Let them try.
There is a huge “Pi$$ed off” factor they’re not expecting.
Oh they will. Most people will walk onto those cars complaining that they had to leave their TV behind and other material goods as well much like muslims in refugee camps complaining about net access. And with zero comprehension of it being their last ride because school never taught them world history.
Pray enough Americans in name and deed still exist to actually fight back. But don’t convince yourself there will be this wave of physical blowback when most can’t even vote conservatively in an anonymous booth.
Umm...critical thinking (chronic, institutionalized fault finding) was the pre-cursor to political correctness. Children know how to think, they need information to think with. Anyone who has ever had a close relationship with a 4-yr-old has been outsmarted by that child.
The purpose of education is to pass on to each generation a distillation of the knowledge acquired through 10,000 years of civilization. It’s purpose is to permit them to stand on the shoulders of giants and reach greater heights.
Both critical thinking and political correctness are vaccinations against knowledge.
Political Correctness = Brain Washing
“...calling for our arrest in the MSM so cattle cares...”
Riding in cattle cars while passing millions of leftists hanging from lampposts is the kind of fantastical imagery that gets me chuckling.
There are worse ways to go I guess ;)
Here’s one to ponder. Liberals can’t make fire without matches outside a handful of outdoor types. Most of them have issues working a can opener. Most have no first aid ability and are too squeamish to use it anyway.
When the collapse hits they will be dead of starvation, exposure and disease/infection in a couple weeks. The survivors will be enslaved by feral alpha types and used for sex and labor until they are ultimately killed.
I love a happy ending.
This is why phone cameras are critical for people to have and use.
Anyone threatened the way your daughter was should pull out the phone and start filming the person doing the threatening. Make sure to get his Carib the shot or even better the license plate.
Insurance companies really don’t like having to pay claims for malicious acts. If your daughter’s car gets keyed and she can point her carrier in the direction of who did it, it’s not him vs her but him vs a large corporation with very good lawyers at it’s disposal.
Car IN the shot.
“Carib”. Sheesh, mon ...
Yep!
Lack of Faith in God Almighty and PC.
