The LEFT’s Ideology Kills

When it comes to killing off people, fascists have a track record upon which they may strive to improve. Think about the Planned Parenthood organization that was established to eradicate “lesser races” from American society. Think about our education system that has been overtaken by demented, sick perverts who want to confuse our children about such things as gender and sex. They also want to shame our children into thinking that America is evil, racist and greedy. Yeah, that is why millions of people want to come here, legally or otherwise.

Ethanol is Harmful to Our Environment

Since ethanol is primarily derived from corn in the Midwest (47 percent of the crop), the amount of fossil fuel needed to plant, harvest and transport the corn to places like ADM, the net carbon savings is less than 25 percent. This doesn’t even factor in the hazardous chemicals that affect the soil, air and water, considering that over half our rivers and streams are polluted so much that they are not fit for human consumption or use.

Factor in the reduced MPG that vehicles get with ethanol, the 10 gallons of water needed to process one gallon of the product and the fact that we make so much that we are exporting it, please help me understand how the economic benefits are sufficient to offset the harm.

We aren’t feeding the world with our corn; we’re feeding our SUVs.

If it wasn’t for the excessive amount of government subsidies for the growing of the GMO corn, you wouldn’t be writing an editorial supporting this product that is causing irreversible harm to our environment (“Work to keep Renewable Fuel Standards high,” Dec. 3).

The Psychologists Are Naked

When psychologists don the cloak of expert in areas where they have no more authority than the average man—that is, when they invade religion, ethics, and politics—they will often be found upon a closer look to be wearing very little, and sometimes nothing at all.

Psychology’s Destruction of the Culture

Many ideas which had their start in the psychological community (or received a big boost from it) have now worked their way into the heart of society. I think it fair to say that many of them have wreaked havoc. The subjectivism and relativism of psychological thinking, the confusion about free will, the overemphasis on autonomy and self-acceptance, the denial of guilt, the neglect of and even hostility toward traditional and religious values, the lack of any meaning system to replace these, the transmutation of virtues into hang-ups and perversions into preferences, the undermining of all forms of authority except psychiatric and bureaucratic—all have helped to bring our society to a crisis of catastrophic proportion.

Results of College Indoctrination vs Education

[A]t the very time that waves of new baby-boomer students were swarming into institutions of higher learning, they were greeted with a torrent of money and a liberal—if not radical—faculty that challenged traditional norms of patriotism, religion, and family. Reinforcing the message of the student radicals, the faculty provided social and intellectual cover for the disruptions that soon occurred, justifying the mayhem as necessary for education and social reform. Under such circumstances, the surprise was not that violent campus revolutions ensued, but that they took so long, especially in light of the Vietnam War, which provided a focal point for anti-American hostility and revolutionary rhetoric.

Lies About the Vietnam War

Virtually every aspect of the [Vietnam] war and military service associated with it was miscast and then etched into bad history. Two thirds of the troops who fought in Vietnam were volunteers, not draftees; blacks in Vietnam only comprised about 12 percent of the troops, equivalent to their percentage of the population as a whole; and college graduates were more likely to be killed or wounded than non-college grads (a reasonable conclusion, considering all the pilots and almost all officers were college graduates).

What Destroyed Many Baby-Boomers From the Beginning

In addition to growing up in abundance, the boom generation also was raised on the theories of the best-selling book of all time, Dr. Benjamin Spock’s Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care (1946). Spock, thoroughly steeped in psychoanalysis and Freudianism, had been a Coolidge Republican in early adulthood, but along with his wife had moved steadily leftward, advocating positions that would have made Coolidge quiver. He advised parents to refrain from disciplining their children and to let children determine when and where everything took place, from bathroom habits to education. American homes overnight became child-centered, whereas spanking and other physical discipline was viewed as psychologically unhealthy. The dangerous combination of material comfort and loose control made for a generation that lacked toughness, one that literally fell apart under the pressures of civil rights, the Vietnam War, and economic stagnation. Not surprisingly, boomers turned to drugs and sex in record numbers, and divorce among the generation skyrocketed.

Truth vs Propaganda

 

The Start of Sexual Anarchy

The entire concept of Ruth Handler’s Barbie doll (introduced in 1959) revolutionized toys by allowing a “much needed play pattern that had never before been offered by the doll industry to little girls,” namely role-playing outside of motherhood. Despite significant opposition—not the least of which was to the fact that the doll had breasts—forty years later the Economist would write, “Of all the forces against which resistance is futile, Barbie ranks near the top.” Barbie only reflected the prominence of sexy female movie stars such as Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, and Brigitte Bardot. Alfred Kinsey’s Sexual Behavior in the Human Female, which appeared in 1953, indicated that women were having sex before marriage in large numbers, perhaps—if Kinsey’s statistics were to be believed—up to half of the six thousand women he had interviewed. Certainly men thought about sex all the time, or at least that was the premise behind the launch of Hugh Hefner’s Playboy magazine in 1953, wherein photos of nude women were legitimized for viewing by middle-class men by packaging with interviews, fiction, and “serious reporting.”… As if to follow Hefner’s lead, in 1957 the Searle pharmaceutical company brought out the birth-control pill, which proved instrumental in delinking sexual intercourse from childbearing or, put another way, in separating consequences from actions.

What Should Still Be the Desire of Women!

What is amazing about all this [history of the late 1940s through the 1950s] is that the 1950s still had plenty of structure. Marriage and motherhood were considered the main destiny of young women—with teaching and nursing considered their only “acceptable” careers—and magazines such as Seventeen or Mademoiselle or popular books such as Mary McGee Williams’s On Becoming a Woman all operated under this assumption. “It’s Not Too Soon to Dream of Marriage” ran a typical chapter title in Williams’s book.

Sound Familiar In Today’s Political Culture?

The new Dutch broadcasting network [after the German invasion in 1940] then set to the task of providing a steady stream of information from the Allies to the occupied people of the Netherlands. The German had anticipated the establishment of such a communication tool by the Allies and issued the “Measure for the Protection of the Dutch Population Against Untrue Information.” With this act, the occupied people would be kept away from “false news” and given information they could trust from officially sanctioned pro-Nazi stations broadcasting from the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, and Czechoslovakia. Anyone caught listening to a unsanctioned station, particularly the BBC and Radio Oranje, would be severely punished.
