CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JULY 15, 2022
IN TOTALITARIAN SOCIETIES, DICTATORS USE THE MEDIA AND SCHOOLS TO FORCE PEOPLE TO ACCEPT THEIR VIEWS. MOST PEOPLE ARE FAMILIAR WITH HOW IT WAS DONE IN THE OLD SOVIET UNION AND EVEN TODAY IN RUSSIA AND CHINA.
IN AMERICA, THE APPROACH IS ONLY A LITTLE DIFFERENT. FROM GENDER FLUIDITY TO DRAG QUEENS IN KINDERGARTEN, TO LOCKDOWNS AND MASK MANDATES, OUR DICTATORIAL LEADERS AND THE MEDIA SHAPE THE WAY MANY OF US THINK.
THE WASHINGTON POST, WHICH ONCE WAS A GOOD NEWSPAPER, IS AIDING THIS DESCENT INTO MADNESS BY PROMOTING THE AGENDA OF THE SECULAR LEFT. JUST ONE EXAMPLE. IN YESTERDAY’S PAPER, THERE WERE THREE FRONT-PAGE STORIES ON ABORTION, ONE COLUMN ON THE SUBJECT AND ONE ON THE SUPREME COURT AFTER ROE. THEN THERE WAS THE OBLIGATORY COLUMN ON A GAY MAN WHO SAYS HE FEELS LIKE GOING INTO HIDING.
THIS IS NOT A ONE DAY OCCURRENCE. IT HAS BEEN EVERYDAY, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE COURT OVERTURNED ROE. THERE IS NO DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW THE LAW WAS WRONGLY DECIDED, ONLY HOW PEOPLE FEEL ABOUT IT. THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE IS ALL THAT MATTERS. IF YOU ONLY READ THE POST AND CERTAIN CABLE NETWORKS, YOU WILL COME TO SHARE THEIR VIEWS. IT’S PROPAGANDA, AS IN DICTATORSHIPS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
