permalink  Phone It in for the Gipper

The leftist elite establishment has blinded the people in this nation through its educational institutions, mainstream media outlets, and the entertainment industry to garner power for a repressive society. While Brother O and his Bread and Circuses Administration zealously dismantle the sleeping middle class, Americans have become unwitting accomplices to a growing underclass.

During education’s ongoing paradigm shift to a postmodern pedagogy in the mid-1980s, a fellow graduate student recognized that tenure and promotion in the academic world depended on the ability to “quack like a duck,” i.e., absorb and regurgitate the academy’s leftist world view and withhold personal opinions. In other words, outspoken conservatives are both persona non grata and underemployed in academia.

The duck motif not only extends to “journalists” in the mainstream media, but as Rush Limbaugh recently discovered, it extends to the National Football League (NFL), a league he greatly admires.

“[T]he NFL … is the most politically correct environment I’ve ever seen in my life,” said Dennis Miller on The O’Reilly Factor. “I don’t even know why Limbaugh would want to be in [it] quite frankly.”

Like many outspoken professors and journalists, Limbaugh now suffers from the pangs of outrageous injustice, being denied his dream for criticizing and mocking the nanny notions of the statist-minded elite. Limbaugh will not be afforded the opportunity that he has earned through achievement to work in the profession he loves for no reason other than his outspoken conservative views are abhorred by the leftist elite establishment.

Since it was leaked that Limbaugh was part of a group intending to buy the St. Louis Rams football team, the propagandists in the mainstream media have worked feverishly to malign his reputation, undermine his creditability, and destroy his character. They overturned rocks for race-baiting poverty pimps and scoured the NFL for nitwit jocks or any feckless team owner they could find to denounce Limbaugh as a bigot and racist before the nation.

The attack and subsequent defamation of Limbaugh adds to the list of media assaults on outspoken conservatives in order to prevent the resurgence of Reagan conservatism from entering the mainstream of American politics and undoing the leftist elites’ socialist agenda. The leftist elite establishment fears the resurgence of a conservatism of individualism, not of country clubs and boardrooms. The establishment dreads the Reagan conservatism championed over talk radio and at town hall meetings and tea parties, which respects the law and reflects the values and traditions of the people.

Statists demagogues live in constant terror of individualists who are independent, loosely connected to groups, and don’t know their place. They commission media propagandists, ready at their beckon call, to seek out and destroy them. The statist diktat is not to refute an opponent’s argument, it is to “wipe him from the face of the earth,” Sarah Palin, Clarence Thomas, and Robert Bork are noted recipients of the left’s scorched-earth and personal destruction politics.

The mainstream media have been frantically trying to deflate Sarah Palin’s ascendancy to the leadership of a national conservative movement since her dazzling acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in September 2008. Had she been a Democrat and espoused the statist ideology of Brother O or Hillary Clinton, Palin’s astounding rise from housewife, to mayor, to governor, to vice presidential candidate would have been praised by propagandists, extolled by environmentalists, lionized by leftists, and fawned over by feminists throughout the nation.

People who use common sense and apply the principles of the Constitution obstruct progressive governance, which explains why the media upended Robert Bork’s nomination and tried to stop Clarence Thomas’ confirmation to the Supreme Court. The media permitted and perpetuated the malicious, baseless allegations of the Democrat smear merchants to damage the reputations and destroy the creditability of both men.

Such reprehensible media campaigns, waged to disgrace both men, “did not resemble an argument so much as a lynching.” Bork was depicted as a judicial tyrant, his wife was falsely accused of being a Holocaust denier, and even his movie viewing habits were called into question. Likewise, Thomas was caricatured as a freakish feel-copping porno pervert in order to humiliate him, strip him of his dignity, and dishonor him for life.

The NFL’s management, owners, and players union along with most of the mainstream media and entertainment industry detest and despise Limbaugh as much as they do Palin, Thomas, and Bork. Yet Limbaugh persists in his love for the National Football League regardless of whether the sentiment is mutual.

Like the pedestaled wife of a fawning cuckold, the NFL graciously accepts Limbaugh’s lavish praises, glowing endorsements, and personal expenditures, yet abhors the very thought of embracing him. When the NFL’s leftist elite establishment denied Limbaugh limited ownership in a football franchise, it denied all outspoken conservatives and sent a subtle message to its owners, coaches, and players to suppress conservative opinion and quack like a duck.

The environment is ripe to don the special sunglasses, face the unadorned reality, and see the hideous leftist potentates and mindless moguls for the despicable fascists they truly are. In the grand scheme of things, the significance of the NFL pales in comparison to that of the USA. The country needs a wake up call, and the time has come for Limbaugh to stop chewing bubble gum and phone it in.

permalink  The Thought Police

The White House tells you to become a government informant on your email buddies, forum groups, social network friends, and favorite blogs. I kid you not. From the White House website:

There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.

It would seem that The Drudge Report is the first victim of this latest Obama crackdown on free speech. From Fox News we have this:

White House Battles Drudge Over Health Care Video Clips

The White House is turning to the Internet to hit back at a Web posting that claims to show President Obama explaining how his health care reform plans eventually would eliminate private insurance.

The 3-minute White House video features Linda Douglass, a former network television correspondent and now White House Office of Health Reform communications director, sitting in front of a computer screen showing the Drudge Report Web site. That site carries a series of video clips from another blogger who strings together selected Obama statements on health care to make it appear he wants to eliminate the private health insurance business.

In the video Douglass says the site is “taking sentences and phrases out of context, and they’re cobbling them together to leave a very false impression.”

Well, no. What that blogger did was to parse through Obama’s “loose lips” moments and expose his Freudian slips. Like during the campaign when Obama revealed that he didn’t really know how many states there are in the US, that he was really a Muslim, that he would really like to take our guns away but didn’t have the votes in Congress, that he was unfamiliar with American history, and that he wanted to redistribute the wealth.

Here’s Obama, in his own words. You decide. Perhaps he should “recalibrate” what he said.

Dear White House,

It has come to my attention that you are on the lookout for disinformation about health care. Judging by the examples given in your post, disinformation seems to include anything that contradicts the statements of Dear Leader. As such, I submit the following sources of disinformation:

Thomas: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:h3200:
Govtrack.us: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-3200

These tools of the insurance industry have dared to contradict the edicts of Dear Leader by posting the actual text of the health care legislation. Please deal with them accordingly.

Your humble servant,

Brian Garst

permalink  Attacking Free Speech

Congress is poised to take away our right to free speech under the guise of preventing hate crimes. In the House of Representatives, the relevant legislation is HR 254 — the David Ray Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007. As commenter Harmony Grant notes:

If a federal hate law were passed, free expression across the political spectrum would be threatened…. Hate laws threaten your freedom to speak your mind, no matter what’s on it.

In the Senate, Ted Kennedy is leading a pack of liberals who introduced SA 2067 as an amendment to the federal defense bill, HR 1585 (you have to look in the comments section of this reference for the text of the amendment — it is hard to find on the internet). According to the Reverend Ted Pike:

Hoping to avoid detection from opponents in the religious right, Senators Edward Kennedy and Gordon Smith have quietly moved the federal hate crimes bill into the Senate. The Senate will vote … on whether to include it as a “rider” on the huge federal defense bill, HR 1585. Now designated SA 2067, the new Senate hate bill is about half the length of the House version which passed the House earlier this year. But it gives its primary supporters … everything they need to end free speech in America, establishing a mammoth federal “thought crimes” bureaucracy….

Another wake-up call comes from Representative Wally Herger (R-CA 2nd) who says:

‘Hate’ Bill Goes Ahead in Senate

Nothing about getting rid of hate…really is getting rid of our freedoms!!

I oppose..as I Love Freedom!!

The Family Research Council notes a warning by Chuck Colson:

We must not be deceived, as Chuck Colson warns, “the bill is not about crime prevention or even about civil rights. It’s about outlawing peaceful speech….”

permalink  Shaping Thoughts With Words

The vocabulary we internalize defines the boundaries of what we are able to conceptualize. First, we get our intellectual tools from our parents, and then from close family and friends. Next we go to school, where we add to our arsenal of words and hopefully, enlarge the borders of our understanding.

Every culture has its thought police, whose most effective weapon in channeling or limiting our ability for independent thinking is to define what vocabulary terms are allowable. With the cooperation of the media, they can eliminate old patterns and introduce new ones.

At their best, they can erase traditional hatreds and prejudices from the public discourse. We have seen in the United States, for example, a shift from slavery and lynch mobs to equal opportunity. And no one ever calls Brazil nuts by the slang nigger toes anymore. In Iraq and Afghanistan, modernists are working diligently to refocus primitive tribal rivalries into national coalescence and public safety.

There is a downside. Manipulated vocabularies can lull us into complacence about virulent dangers when we should remain alert. They can be used to subtly persuade us to accept outcomes we would have prevented, if only we had seen them coming. Illegal immigration and welfare abuse are two examples from contemporary American life.

Now we have a guidebook of sorts. Paul Payack is a Harvard graduate who majored in comparative literature, and developed a love of linguistics. Professionally, he served in executive marking positions with several leading high-tech computer industry firms. He is also a widely published author of essays on wordsmithing. And he has established a Global Language Monitor.

Right up front, it delivers the bottom line:


Number of Words in the English Language:   986,120
Estimated as of Sunday, January 22, 2006  1:57 PM

Then a series of articles provides the details on the erosion of our cultural linguistic heritage:

The Top Politically inCorrect Words and Phrases for 2005:

1. Misguided Criminals for Terrorist: The BBC attempts to strip away all emotion by using what it considers neutral descriptions when describing those who carried out the bombings in the London Tubes. The rub: the professed intent of these misguided criminals was to kill, without warning, as many innocents as possible (which is the common definition for the term, terrorist). The phrase was selected by GLM as but one example in line with the published BBC Editorial Guidelines where it is noted that the word ‘terrorist’ itself can be a barrier rather than aid to understanding. Suggested alternatives include: bomber, attacker, insurgent and militant, among others. These and similar words are deemed to have no emotional or value judgments. However, the word Terrorist can be used as long as it appears in a quoted attribution….

You may want to bookmark this website. The downhill slide from illegal immigrant to undocumented worker has already taken its toll, and long ago welfare payments became public assistance. But there may still be time to save our winter festivities, as Payack alerts us to the big shift in 2005:

“God Rest Ye Merry Persons” for “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen”: A Christmas, eh, Holiday, carol with 500 years of history is not enough to sway the Anglican Church at Cardiff Cathedral (Wales) from changing the original lyrics. There are those who suggest going one step further: “Higher Power Rest Ye Merry Persons”….

Happy Holidays or Season’s Greetings for Christmas (which in some UK schools now label Wintervale). However, the word holiday is derived directly from Holy Day, and in the word X-Mas, the Greek letter ‘chi’ represented by the Roman X actually stands for the first two letters of the name Christ.) Now there are published reports of organization banning the traditional Christmas Colours of red and green.

At the end of 2005, humor columnist Erik Deckers weighed in on the seasonal celebration controversy:

We’re nearing the end of 2005, and I want to wish everyone a belated Merry Wintervale.

What’s that? You don’t know what Wintervale is? That’s what some schools in the United Kingdom are calling Christmas. Apparently, “happy holiday” and “season’s greetings” weren’t soulless and sterile enough, so they came up with that little winter winner instead.

Apparently, the PC simps didn’t like the fact that “holiday” stems from “holy day,” and they didn’t want to be “greeted” by anyone either. So school administrators kowtowed to them in an attempt to be inclusive, thereby excluding everyone….

As funny as that one is, the one all of us at ADMC are most concerned about is the penultimate threat to our free way of life. Deckers adds:

The GLM is a Political Correctness watchdog — excuse me, security animal companion — that keeps track of the linguistic decisions made by idiots — excuse me, bureaucrats — around the world….

Topping the 2005 list is the British Broadcasting Corporation and their use of the term “misguided criminals” instead of “terrorists.”

“The BBC attempts to strip away all emotion by using what it considers neutral descriptions,” said the website. Apparently they didn’t want to offend the terrorists who killed 52 people in the London bombings this past July by expressing outrage and emotion over it….
