Absolute, utter insanity

I was reading Clarice Feldman's piece on American Thinker, as is my Sunday morning habit.

Of course I have read, peripherally, about the pro-Hamas and pro-Gaza demonstrations on college campuses. Our colleges, which in my time as a student (1970-74) were places where you could be a Nixon voter and not be ashamed of it, are now one-sided indoctrination centers where those with views outside those permitted are carefully re-educated the way Mao did it. I debated, in class and out, with other students who carried Mao's Little Red Book. We stayed friends and bought each other beers.

Clarice describes graduation ceremonies that are so disgustingly anti-Semitic it boggles the mind. And it's not just the students; it's the speakers.

How can anyone with anything resembling a conscience make excuses for people who plan and execute an operation that paraglides into a rock concert with machine guns blazing, invades homes and searches out babies to kill, captures hostages for torture and bargaining, and parades women with bloody pants draped over truck beds to cheering crowds? Even if you're ignorant of events overseas, how can anyone make excuses for a man who shoots another man in the back because of his job, or executes a young couple on the street, following and shooting the woman as she tries to crawl away? But they are not just making excuses for these subhuman murderers, they're making heroes of them.

I still believe that most of the people in American society reject all this, and we don't hear about them speaking up about it because it doesn't fit the media's agenda. But the fact that it is the media's agenda, and the agenda of so many colleges, makes me wonder. This seems to me to be planned. It's a way to destroy our society by making us believe that it isn't worth defending. And if it's planned, it's being paid for. DOGE has revealed a lot of ways that the organizations encouraging all this are getting taxpayer money. There is impressive coordination and planning behind all this. It's deliberate, and it has methods and goals.

The only way we can fight back is to expose it for what it is, and talk about it. Encourage others to talk about it. We're able to talk about it here, but our reach is limited. Twitter turning into X is consequential; that is why it's controversial. There are lots of good Substacks where investigative reporters can document the mechanics of this evil, and they deserve our support. Clarice (and Susan!) appearing regularly in American Thinker is all I need to pay for a subscription.

I encourage everyone to read and discuss. I'm sure I'm not 100% right, far from it, and I'm glad to hear other viewpoints so I can learn. It may not seem like much, but it's our best weapon...and that's why the other side is so anxious to suppress it.
