Life Imitating Literary Horror: "Politically Correct Universities Killing Free Speech," and "Inclusive Terminology Guide at Mizzou Raises Awareness of 'Adultism'"...

...It rather reminds me of a passage from a most depressing book (written almost 70 years ago) that seems to resemble, increasingly, the direction where things are heading this century:

"With those children, he thought, that wretched woman must lead a life of terror. Another year, two years, and they would be watching her night and day for symptoms of unorthodoxy. Nearly all children nowadays were horrible. What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party. On the contrary, they adored the Party and everything connected with it. The songs, the processions, the banners, the hiking, the drilling with dummy rifles, the yelling of slogans, the worship of Big Brother -- it was all a sort of glorious game to them. 

All their ferocity was turned outwards, against the enemies of the State, against foreigners, traitors, saboteurs, thought-criminals. It was almost normal for people over thirty to be frightened of their own children. And with good reason, for hardly a week passed in which the Times did not carry a paragraph describing how some eavesdropping little sneak -- 'child hero' was the phrase generally used -- had overheard some compromising remark and denounced his parents to the Thought Police."  [All emphasis added]

And if that ain't a cheerful holiday thought to brighten your Xmas week, then my name ain't Ebenezer.  But never forget, kids: Group-think and authoritarianism, whether they come out of the right or the left, are the incessant enemies of free human beings.

Just in Time for Xmas: "ISIS 'End of World' Film Shows Final Battle with Crusaders"! But Methinks I'll Instead Take in the New Star Wars Picture This Week...

...I just never seem to be quite in the right mood to watch some good beheadings, maimings, rapes, burnings, tortures, suicide bombings, and world-ending catastrophes until at least January, when the Holidays have passed.

As a result, these radical Islamic extremists, domestic and abroad, can feel free to paint me as one big Scrooge over here, if they please.  Guess I'm guilty as charged, creeps!

No Praying: Leftists, democrat party, & Their Media Now Openly Mock People Who Offer Thoughts and Prayers After Horrific Tragedies, Such as San Bernardino...

Don't you dare pray. Or say pray. Or think pray. Or even bray pray. Because we sure can't have any of that kinda thing, now can we? Just ask American leftist 20 percenters (and the party and media through which they exercise their power) -- links below.

Ya know, for all the deranged, extreme spoutings that routinely come out of the right-wingers, these American leftists really do take the cake: Kooky, loony, and frightening to the last...

I mean, who wants to be around any of these people? Even so, my thoughts and prayers go out to them.

Postscript I noticed the story this afternoon about democrat party House members going to pray at a mosque in Virginia in a "show of solidarity with Muslims" following San Bernardino. But before you level any charges of hypocrisy or inconsistent positions at the ol' leftists, I think it goes without saying that Thursday's admonishment against prayer was clearly intended towards Christian prayer only (and should be accepted as such). In contrast, you wanna chant some Muslim prayers following San Bernardino? More power to ya, baby! [Certainly, boycott or put me out of business in advance, leftists, if I'm misstating your position over here.]
