The whole point of WhitakerOnline.org is to spread ideas.
This is why respectable conservatives are so absolutely vital to liberals. Respectable conservatives have endless hours on the media, and they give the impression there is some sort of opposition in America. And almost everybody who reads WhitakerOnline spends his entire time and resources backing respectable conservatives.
So I ask very little. All I ask is that those who read WhitakerOnline USE my points.
For example, my book makes the point over and over and over and over that Political Correctness is not LIKE a religion. It IS a religion.
PC could be proven legally to be a religion.
So someone read my book, read WhitakerOnline.org and, predictably, he comments, “Whitaker says Political Correctness is like a religion.”
This makes me very, very, very tired.
You see, he had been reading respectable conservatives, and they were using that kind of language. You have to be gentle. You have to correct those well-meaning people, so he naturally used the fatal word “like.”
Conservatives spend their entire time 1) proving that they are not racists or isolationists or whatever the latest liberal charge is and 2) trying to show they want exactly what liberals want and they have a better way to get it. So they want “assimilation” and they have decided that this “melting pot” and “diversity” can be accomplished better their way.
I keep pointing out the “We the People … and OUR posterity” is the ONLY purpose of the United States. The Founding Fathers were exactly what liberals now call racists and isolationists, and they said so.
And I keep pointing out that is the ONLY authority on which our actual Constitution is based. That is the ONLY purpose of our Constitution.
But the problem is, once again, that you are getting your wording from respectable conservatives. When a liberal or a respectable conservative hears that, he says, “But that isn’t ALL there is.”
Once again, that huge difference is exactly what I said. The Founding Fathers did not LIKE government. It was set up precisely to be limited to an exact authority and an exact purpose and absolutely nothing else. It was not to help Iraq. It was not to protect illegal immigrants. It was not for all mankind or other people’s concerns.
The Founding Fathers accomplished their charity personally. They did not believe the government should be the instrument of anything it didn’t have to be.
I said, “anything.” If you want to convince liberals and Old Testament wordists that the United States Government is supposed to spread Political Correctness or the Gospel of Jehovah to the world in general, I wish you hadn’t read my stuff.
I said Political Correctness IS a religion. If you say it is LIKE a religion, I wish you hadn’t read my stuff.
I mean what I say, and what I say is not like anything you will read anywhere else.
The distinctions ARE the whole point.
