One cannot change reality by changing the words you use to describe reality. Look beneath the rhetoric, and glimpse the truth.

I noticed some years ago that most people on the left fall into one or both of two categories. There are those I call “professional offended people,” meaning that being offended is pretty much the life’s work of such people. If a school teacher inadvertently so much as mentions God, or dares to pray silently in class, someone will be “deeply offended”, “marginalized,” and “threatened” by his behavior, and will sue the school district, usually after contacting a professionally offended organization like the ACLU or the SPLC. The other group is composed of “againsters,” people who pretend to be for some vaguely noble-sounding cause, like women’s rights, or Black rights, or saving the planet from some imaginary peril. But if we look at their actual deeds, and the actual, real-world consequences of the programs they advocate, we find that women and Blacks are ill-served, and the planet is neither imperiled nor saved. Their real motivation is opposition…typically they oppose America, Israel, Judaism, Christianity, Judeo-Christian morality, free speech, the Second Amendment, free, Republican government, and a free market economy. And most leftists fall into both of these categories. [Full article]

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind." -  Edward L. Bernays
