There just isn’t any behavior too stupid to disbelieve, these days. It used to be that if someone told you some outlandish story, a person of average intelligence could dismiss it with “Get out of here!” and be comfortably assured that the story teller was trying to pull your leg.

Trigger warning: If you’re one of those precious little snowflakes who #StandWithMizzou and support the #MillionStudentMarch, be warned: the following contains potentially “hurtful” microaggressions that may invade the reality-free sanctuary of your Safe Space™ and leave you cowering in the fetal position.

The world is not perfect. People are not perfect. There is always room for improvement. However, it is impossible to correct something that doesn’t exist or doesn’t exist as perceived to be. Can’t fix a dryer by working on a washer, for example. That makes sense, right? So, what if the problem isn’t actually rampant racism as suggested, but something else?

The white liberal academic establishment got beaten by the very politically correct thought police they have unleashed on America. Good. It is about time the self-important, arrogant thugs of the Ivory Tower industrial complex get a taste of the brutish, anti-intellectualism they have created. May they get many more in what is rapidly resembling a replay of Mao’s Cultural Revolution.

Democratic Party politicians no longer feel any need to even pay lip service to the idea that America has anything to do with a free people. Their unabashed rendition of the American dream is increasing percentages of the American population dependent on getting money recycled to them from the government — money taken from other citizens or from ever-increasing government debt.

Ben Carson’s story is certainly not a story that black liberals want told as a black story. The idea of a young black man rising from a ghetto in Detroit to head of pediatric neurosurgery at John Hopkins Hospital, and attributing his achievement to values, hard work, and education — and not to government programs — is the last thing any self-respecting liberal wants conveyed as typical.

When we add to the equation the growing impact of non-white voters, standing strongly for these traditional values — which would put Republicans in stark contrast to Democrats — would be a win-win for Republicans.

Contrary to the indoctrinated reality most people parrot as their own opinion or knowledge, a greater percentage of Republicans voted in favor of the Civil Rights Act than Democrats.

Somehow it’s lost in today’s liberal-controlled America that a civilized society does not emerge spontaneously from individuals giving maximum vent to their impulses. Civilization is the product of living by truths and rules, received through tradition, that control and direct our primitive impulses, lifting us to our highest potentials.

Yes, indeed black lives matter. Every life matters. May the day come soon when we embrace this truth wholly, no longer looking at the color of our skin or the age or condition of our fellow man, but simply acknowledging that we are all members of the human family, deserving of respect and the full measure of protection of the law.
