It is a common practice of the left to stage an incident and then
demand enormous legal changes to respond to their hoax.
Griswold v. Connecticut was a scam orchestrated by Yale law professors
to challenge the state's anti-contraception law. The case was a fraud:
The law had never been enforced and never would have been enforced,
until the professors held a press conference announcing they were
breaking the law.
But we still got the new constitutional "privacy right" which, less
than 10 years later, transmogrified into a constitutional right to kill
an unborn baby.
The premise of that case, Roe v. Wade, was also a hoax. Norma McCorvey
lied about being raped to get an abortion in Texas, but was denied
because there was no police report. There was also no rape: She had
gotten pregnant for the third time by her mid-20s as a result of a
casual sexual encounter.
After Trayvon Martin was shot by George Zimmerman -- the "white
Hispanic," since upgraded to full "white" by The New York Times --
liberals howled about Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law. The case had
absolutely nothing to do with that law: Zimmerman wasn't standing his
ground; he was lying on the ground having his head bashed in. The jury
accepted Zimmerman's claim of self-defense and acquitted him.
The law of self-defense has been around since William of Orange
ascended to the British throne in 1688. But liberals are still harping
about the Trayvon Martin shooting to demand the repeal of Stand Your
Ground laws.
Jamie Leigh Jones made fantastical claims about being fed Rohypnol,
gang-raped and then held at gunpoint while working for KBR, a
subsidiary of Halliburton, in Iraq in 2005. Without considering the
likelihood of a military contractor doing this to an American citizen,
knowing she'd get back to the U.S. someday and be able to tell her
story, our adversary media and well-paid Democratic senators believed
every word out of Jones' mouth.

Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity.
ReplyDeleteTo assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.
