My latest revelation about the so-called Progressive Left and its tendency toward fascism came while watching Janeane Garofalo on the Independent Film Channel’s The Henry Rollins Show. Apparently Janeane believes that religious belief is a psychological disorder that must be stamped out, with what I’m sure will be tolerant intervention when the stamping-out time finally arrives and Utopia officially begins.
As an interesting side note, it was this same tolerant intervention that marked the beginning, middle, and end of previous Utopian dreams where “religion” was stamped out in the process, such as Soviet Russia, Castro’s Cuba, Marxist China, Ho Chi Mihn’s Vietnam, Khmer Rouge Cambodia, Sandinista Nicaragua, and other Utopias. As an interesting side side note, the body count of these atheistic Utopias stands at somewhere around 60 million. And that’s a conservative estimate. And, in objective reality, atheism, secular progressivism, liberalism, etc., etc., are nothing but religions dressed up in a God-is-Dead philosophy. But I digress…
Janeane is apparently terrified at the horrific ignorance of the American population in general, and at its imperialistic, racist, and homophobic tendencies. In a truly fascist police state, Janeane’s rage against the machine, or Speaking Truth to Power, would be courageous. But when one rants and the worst they get is a yawn or two, you have to wonder about claims that they’re living under the dark night of Republican fascism.
But the reality is that there’s quite a difference between oppressive America and enlightened nations like Cuba. In the enlightened nations, one who dissents or does not tow the official line is very likely to end up in a torture chamber or “re-education” camp. In America, fascists like Ann Coulter might call you a fag, and we all know how horrible it is to be called a name! Back in the real world, the empirical evidence points to America’s Left as the true fascists.
Fortunately, the great majority of us are not subject, at least officially, to the Left’s fascism. However, if you wanted to get a glimpse of what the Left really means by “tolerance” you need only to peruse the “hate speech” codes at America’s universities. Basically, what the academic Left has been able to foist on the university system would never be tolerated by the public at large, I guess because most of us are ignorant, religious fools. But I do find it strange that the Left will defend what is patently offensive as “freedom of speech” but is aghast when someone says they think affirmative action is a bad idea, or satirizes one of the Left’s Sacraments.
And so, as Jeneane and Mr. Rollins seethe and rant about uptight Middle America, and how these Middle Americans are destroying the earth with their religion and morality, you are given a glimpse into how they might treat those Middle Americans if they were in charge. It ain’t pretty. Meanwhile, Middle America simply sits back and allows the Leftist ragers and ranters to exercise their First Amendment rights, whilst the Leftists devise ways to destroy theirs through the codification of “tolerance” and other euphemisms for the Gulag.
