Ron’s weekly rant.

Damn the global warming! Froze my fingers off walkin with Monsterdawg this morning. And yes, I had fur-lined gloves on, and a sweatshirt over a heavy T, and a Navy foul-weather jacket . . . and a hat.

Wuz gonna bundle up the branches and rake those big ol’ leaves from the tulip tree I dismantled yesterday, but if it don’t warm up considerable, I’m gonna stay inna house and put stuff in my belly that I really don’t need.

Well, what can you do . . . Mother Nature, right? Brings me to a consideration my mind worked on while walkin around in the cold wind: The best-laid plans often come back bearing payment-due vouchers, quit-claims, and eviction notices.

The PC Nazis and Social Justice Crusaders, in league with socialists and communists and anarchists, are winning. Paul Harvey very prophetically spelled out the game plan for them half a century ago, and they’ve followed it perfectly.

Virtually everything he mentioned way back even before Viet Nam got going good has become reality, almost as if he’d had a smartfone which could tune into 2020 news reports with 20/20 vision.

We’ve all seen the liberals chipping away at the cornerstones of the Constitution, judges legislating from the bench, news organizations promoting global agendas and selecting or revising or creating news stories to support them.

Christmas is so commercialized and ostentatious that someone from Dickens’s time wouldn’t recognize it in most cities. Church congregations are dwindling, and it won’t be long until we follow Europe’s lead and convert cathedrals to mosques.

Our military has been so neglected and gutted by liberals that many of our potential enemies have weapons on a technological level equal with our own, and their planes, tanks, and ships usually work while we can’t get parts for ours.

This morning I read a breakdown of a survey assessing the levels of patriotism and historical knowledge of young Americans. Here’s one excerpt from it (which Mark Levin highlighted on his show):

Forty-six percent of young Americans, defined as ages 14-37, disagreed with the statement, “America is the greatest country in the world.” In addition, 53% of the same age group said they believe the United States is a sexist country, and 54% believe it is a racist country.

[ . . . ]

Nick Adams [founder of the organization conducting the study] said he was “totally unprepared” for the “epidemic of anti-Americanism” the survey revealed.

“That half of millennials and Gen Z believe that the country in which they live is both ‘racist’ and ‘sexist’ shows that we have a major fraction of an entire generation that has been indoctrinated by teachers starting in grade school that America is what’s wrong with the world,” Adams said.

When asked who had a bigger impact on the country, more than half of 18 – 21 year-olds chose Barack Obama over George Washington. And on which is better for the country’s future, socialism or capitalism, half chose socialism.

You can draw your own conclusions from that; I won’t bore you with mine. But here’s one more off-the-wall way all that indoctrination, brainwashing, and propaganda is coming back to bite us in the butt:

The vaunted “Me-Too” movement, which insisted that white men are the source of all problems in the US, has shot itself in the foot. Wall Street movers and shakers, as an example, are minimizing or avoiding contact with women in their organizations and their offices for fear of unfounded but devastating accusations down the line.

Males are avoiding all one-on-one meetings with females. No more having dinner with female colleagues. No more joint travel arrangements. No near proximity in hotel room assignments. Guys have been forced into speaking as little as possible to gals in offices and workplaces; speaking candidly and frankly is considered perilous.

What the Me-Too agenda has produced, just like what Obama’s racial-healing policies wrought, is the opposite of what they wanted: gender segregation, a cover-your-ass mentality, and a return to a boys’-club atmosphere rather than opening the equality doors for women.

The new rule of thumb is never to have dinner with any woman under 40 who is not your wife or sister, never share an elevator with a female, and by no means ever meet with female employees in rooms without windows and open doors.

This results in male bonding instead of inter-gender idea sharing over drinks after work, sharing a cab, or having a cup of coffee in the employees’ lounge when women are there.

At the same time the gap is widening over gender-related conversation in the workplace, young males have begun to abandon physical or masculine values of previous generations and morphing into metrosexuals.

Instead of competitiveness and self-dependency and laissez-faire approaches to life and work and man-woman relationships, men are more interested in ‘emotional strength,’ selflessness, and compromise.

It’s as Khrushchev said, socialism will wind up burying the capitalist paradigm, like winning a revolution without firing a single bullet by working on the minds of the young.

And as Gloria Steinem said about male-female relationships, “We are becoming the men we once wanted to marry.”
