The protected class
In America we have a manufactured protected class. A class of people who are immune to any criticism, and they have used the political correctness they have created themselves to prevent them from being criticised no matter how foul their intentions or stupid their premises.
Foul intentions, for example.
Gun control
Redistribution of wealth
Removal of religion except liberal-sponsored religion
control of schools
control of education
control of reproduction
control of the family
Stupid premeses
Socialism can work
Big government is good
Gun control can work
Global warming
Global cooling
Man created climate change
As much as I would hate for the situation to get to the point where it is in europe, I find it hard to imagine conservatives rising up to stop this menace, which is exactly the Nazi party of the 30’s. And most of the liberals I know have been brainwashed to believe that CONSERVATIVES are the fascists, having no knowledge of the actual meaning of the word.
How do we stop this cancer from taking over our free land?
UPDATE: Stop by Pascal’s place- he says many of the same kinds of things, though with longer, prettier words.

Thank you Og. I wish I could make my points as quickly as do you. I’m working on that.
What you call brainwashing, I call conditioning. Same rotten effect.
Most all of us endure years and years of it. Luckily, only a handful really are affected deeply by this conditioning.
But the statists really only need a few to respond. A few (minorities of minorities) is sufficient to provide an excuse for the power seekers to hammer the rest of us.
You’ve met those who have been affected the worst.
They’re your one time friends who, upon recognizing that you’re really a conservative, reacted as if you jabbed them with a cattle prod.

Anyway, I first witnessed that reaction over thirty years ago, and just had to figure out a theory to explain it. I gave an impromptu speech explaining it. Positive things happened subsequently. But it’s been forgotten. I am trying to revive it.
Maybe this time around the polarity of that cattle prod will be reversed. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving ilk.
