Utopia, eugenics and today’s progressives
The introduction to “The Faber Book of Utopias,” edited by John Carey, chronicles the methods of creating ideal citizens, which historically have been repeatedly promoted by utopian philosophers via the deconstruction or abolition of the family. Originally proposed by Plato in his magnum opus, “The Republic,” this simple yet dramatic blueprint has influenced a number of social philosophers as diverse as More, Hobbes, Voltaire, Rousseau, to Darwin, Marx, Nietzsche, Weber, Freud, B.F. Skinner, to socialist, liberal, progressive thinkers and politicians in modern times.
Utopia, dystopia
According to Merriman-Webster Dictionary, utopia and dystopia are defined thus: Utopia, A utopia is a community or society possessing highly desirable or perfect qualities. Dystopia, A dystopia is a community or society, usually fictional, that is in some important way undesirable or frightening. It is the opposite of autopia. … Dystopias are often characterized by dehumanization, totalitarian governments,environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline in society.
Blacks’ obsession with sports, Hollywood & acceptance
Eden Alice Washington is my 11-year-old daughter. The other day I asked her if she listens to pop singer Beyonce. She answered, “No! I don’t listen to that kind of music.” She doesn’t like Obama, she already considers herself a conservative, and she’s curious about Christianity. Eden’s generation – and that of her elder brother, Stone – will have their hands full turning back Obama’s Progressive Revolution.
John Dewey’s dunces
Conservative intellectual Dr. Thomas Sowell, in a recent column, “Teaching Americans to hate their country,’“ made the historical observation about how 100 years ago progressives like John Dewey of Columbia University changed the American education paradigm whereby teachers were no longer considered “the transmitter of society’s culture” (as they have been for roughly the past 6,000 years) but activist “agents of [progressive, socialist] change,” as evidenced by the way most Americans have been happily educated inside its Marxist propaganda factories called “public schools.”
The Communist singer who gave America Obama
Moviemaker Joel Gilbert, in his outstanding film, “Dreams from my Real Father,” exposes the systematic brainwashing of black America in historical terms:
“In 1930s Chicago, CPUSA recruited journalists to help spread Soviet influence in American public opinion. Frank Marshall Davis was one of them. A graduate of Kansas State Journalism School, Frank Marshall Davis joined the Communist Party and began writing for The Chicago Star. He was a colleague of journalist Vernon Jarrett, father-in-law of Obama confidant Valerie Jarrett. Davis also taught at Chicago’s Abraham Lincoln School, a Communist-run training school run by CPUSA. …”
America’s last ‘election’?
Did the communist propaganda with which Obama was indoctrinated from his youth become his worldview as an adult man? As president of the United States? Let’s hear the words of President Obama recorded on an open mic with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev when they both attended a Nuclear Arms Treaty Conference in Seoul, South Korea, on March 26, 2012. Here is an excerpt from their secret conversation where Obama is essentially committing treason against his own country:
Letter to professor Edwin Chemerinsky
With all due respect, professor Chemerinsky, how can you agree with the Court’s 5-4 decision that there cannot be a mandatory life sentence without parole for homicides committed by juveniles? Isn’t the Court’s ruling in Miller tantamount to giving America’s endemic youth criminal class a key to their own jail cells? Perhaps my meta-analysis of juvenile law is incongruent with the macro/consensus view of your ABA article, the law Academy, and the Court.
PROGRESSIVES’ ACADEMIC INCEST
The fifth and final sophism by the left that undermines realism, truth and historical accuracy, or what David Barton in his new book on Jefferson calls “the five malpractices of modern history,” is Academic Collectivism, “whereby writers and scholars quote each other and those from their peer group rather than consult original sources. This destructive and harmful tendency now dominates the modern academic world, with a heavy reliance on peer review as the almost exclusive standard for historical truth.”
