Good article
All through history you see that “the left” has not changed one bit
Excellent analogy, don't mind if I use it...
bkmk
When has anyone heard a feminist mention true STEM women scientists like Marie Curie.
No, all they care about is that perv Sanger and her school dunce cohorts of whores like Steinmen and “what women want” Katrinas
Not original to me.
Credited to Lech Walesa, who, living in the soup, knew something about the analogy.
Humanism is supplanting thinking through consequences... we now have poor BillyBob “all too human” spoiled rotten psychopaths as leaders.

Among European countries, incidentally, only the English use the term “Dark Ages”; Henry VIII and his successors had reasons to make all things Catholic look dark. Portraying the history of Islam in glowing terms, likewise, has been another means of denigrating European civilization, and ultimately Christianity.
Paradoxically, scholars in Communist China, oddly enough, have discovered the truth. As Rodney Stark records in The Victory of Reason, Chinese scholars undertook a lengthy study of what ultimately accounted for the West’s pre-eminence. After decades of investigation, they concluded: not guns, politics, or economics – factors they had felt may have been decisive. Instead, they were led to something deeper:
we have realized that the heart of your culture is your religion: Christianity. That is why the West is so powerful. The Christian moral foundation of social and cultural life was what made possible the emergence of capitalism and then the successful transition to democratic politics. We don’t have any doubt about this.
Yes, I think the kids do instinctively know that they’ve been lied to.
Margaret Sanger began the Birth control culture in 1916. Thirteen years later when the Church of England allowed the use of Contraceptives at the 1929 Lambeth conference that was the beginning of the end.
Shortly there after every single protestant church fell into line. The Catholic Church is the only one that formally denounces artificial birth control.
From crazed people on Nazism and Khmer Rouge ideology, the great desillusion is a repeat Hallmark of leftism.
Ping.
Spot on - it is not JUST the addict who suffers but all around them.
Exactly right.
Correct. The sexual revolution was never about sex, was all about revolution. Or, as David Horowitz has said the issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.
There was a great article posted here a few days back by the sister of one of the early NOW leaders. She recanted how, having going to many ofvthe early organizing meetings, her sister and the other NOW leaders were pretty much Maoists. It was who they were, they were proud of it and they built it into their organization and movement at a foundational level.
Pornography... “it is not what you think it is”.
I was always amazed about how we got laws against domestic violence negating consent of the abused not applying to some of the vile sex acts depicted.
What is weirder is when confronting the most at risk in that domain, women that is. I found many liberal women giving me excuses from “addiction” to “it is OK, just sex”.
The disillusion is in fact shared by many boys... and the hypocrisy and secrecy abounds... until they find their own mother used them because their siblings were aborted prior or after.
Let that sink in.
The Gods of the Copybook Headings
by Rudyard Kipling
AS I PASS through my incarnations in every age and race,
I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market Place.
Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.
We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn
That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision and Breadth of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the March of Mankind.
We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,
Being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market Place,
But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come
That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield, or the lights had gone out in Rome.
With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch,
They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch;
They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings;
So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things.
When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."
On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "The Wages of Sin is Death."
In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "If you don't work you die."
Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!
Indeed, there is no business in sexual revolution other than turning business and families away and into people as sterile compulsive working ants of the party.
Kinsey has been used by crooks to sell cars for sure, but the king of crooks is in government leftist scams.
