Welcome to (un)Common Sense

Greetings!

This BLOG, one of several that I post to, is specifically designed to dismantle the "spin" that many people rely upon these days to push an agenda. While having an agenda is fine, I have a real problem with those who use dishonesty and deceit to push their agenda.

Politically, I consider myself an Independent. But over the last 10 years or so, I have seen a vast growth among liberals in using and abusing spin. Certainly, some conservatives are also guilty of this. But by and large, the liberals seem to have created some sort of "machine" into which they pour the truth in one end, and it emerges from the other having been stripped of anything that is not conducive to their agenda, and no longer can be called "truth".

While I could certainly expound on many examples, I simply do not have that much time. But for starters, I would have you take note of the liberal concept that is referred to as "political correctness". This is entirely a liberal creation. It is a method by which liberals may avoid guilt, or chasnge perceptions, by renaming things. It's kinda like castration - while technically the individual may still be a male, he is no longer a FUNCTIONING male. And that is the ugly secret behind political correctness.

When a conservative says someone is "overweight", they are being honest and straight to the point. But a liberal, not wanting to be accused of hurting anyone's feelings, insists on saying the person is "weight challenged". In this way, the liberal may proceed without any guilt - even though nothing has changed. The other person is still overweight, and he is not so stupid as to think "weight challenged" means anything besides "fat". So, using politically correct language, liberals may insult people politely, and walk away feeling like they were nice to the other person. It is a method whereupon liberals do not have to live in the real world.

Political correctness is a sham. Like carbon offsets.

Common sense says that a person who immigates (immigrant) to our country without having done so legally (illegal), is an "illegal immigrant".

Liberals, however, understand all to well that the truth hurts their cause (open borders), so they try to change perceptions by changing the truth. Instead of calling those people what they are (illegal immigrants), they insist on calling them "undocumented workers" (even though many are gang members, not workers, and some are terrorists). This sounds better, having removed the negative connotation of breaking the law, which makes it easier for liberals to push their "open border" agenda. This new term for illegal immigrants make them sound much more benign.

If this were not so serious, it would make me laugh hysterically. But it is serious! The liberals who resort to such deceptive measures - who would stop at nothing to push their agenda - are trying to radically change America into something none of us would recognize, and most of us would not like at all. Their insidious methods are winning, by biting off small bits at a time. A small win here, a small win there. No Christmas plays in school, no Christmas tree in the town square. Sanctuary cities where illegal criminals are seldom jailed and never deported. Child molesters released to molest more children, because liberal judges have taken it upon themselves to violate their oath of office, and push their agenda that such people only need to be "understood". And the ACLU is behind most of these travesties.

They are winning because liberals are organized. They understood long ago that in order to control the country, they must control what the people see and hear - what they believe. They began taking over in the areas that would benefit them most - the vast majority of the media are operated by liberals - newspapers like the NY Times, magazines like Rolling Stone, cable news like MSNBC and CNN, and even the internet - YAHOO, Google, MSN and AOL all show a liberal bent in their reporting of the news and other stories.

To make matters worse, they understood the power they would gain by being in charge of "educating" young minds. In the 1950's, the vast majority of schools and universities were conservative, by natural order (it was not planned that way). By the 1970's, liberals, in a concerted effort, began taking over. When one would gain power in the educational system, he/she would then hire only other liberals. Today, the vast majority of public schools and most colleges and universities are populated almost strictly with liberal teachers and professors. And they do not believe in teaching both sides of an issue! They teach anarchy, and help turn impressionable children into thugs and fascists. Just look at all those kids who storm the podium whenever a conservative speaker shows up. The little fascist thugs prevent free speech, claiming that they are only exercising their own right of free speech. In reality, that is liberal spin - using ones right to free speech to deprive others of their own rights is not "free speech". It's fascism, pure and simple. Like Hugo Chavez, who imprisons people who speak against him. A fascist thug. Nothing more.

It is difficult being an Independent these days! An independent believes in conservative, traditional values, but not blindly. On the other hand, while the Independent sits on the fence, looking at both sides so he can make an intelligent, wise choice, the liberals are throwing stones at him, trying to knock him off.

Yep! It's tough being an independent. But I could never be anything else. And while liberals will read this and automatically accuse me of being on the "far right", that is only because from where they stand, on the far left, Independents - and even some liberals - are on the right. They have become so clouded in their thought process that anyone who does not agree with them must be on the "right".

Need proof? MoveOn.org, Media Matters and Code Pink all believe that Clinton is now on the right. And anyone to the right of Clinton must therefore be "far right".

That is the fallacy - and the absurdity - of living in the la-la world of liberalism.

This blog is dedicated to (un)common sense. Showing things for what they are, not what we would like them to be. Yes, I will "pick on" liberals far more than conservatives. But that is because liberals are far more deserving, having spent so much concerted effort into separating themselves from the truth for so long.
