No Bowlder Man Than Dennis Walcott Ever Lived

New York City Department of Education Chancellor Dennis Walcott has published a list of 50 words that should be expunged from standardized tests. Let us celebrate bowdlerization with a meditation on why Progressivism is cranial rectalitis at its finest using all 50 words/ideas that Walcott finds objectionable, in what is an excerpt from an internal memo:

The Orwellian abuse inflicted upon our culture at the hands of us Postmodern, Progressive–let’s just put it out there–Godless Commies, while actually worse than all of the alcohol, tobacco, and drugs assailing the culture, is a necessary evil to bring about Utopia. From birth (if we deem you fit, in our  Sanger-esque milieu), Progressives must mold formerly free people into our precise little geometric forms, even down to the level of bodily functions.

Truly, we Progressives are the scourge of liberty, but, then, what good has liberty ever done? No catastrophe can occur, for example, Hurricane Katrina, or even a tragic death like Trayvon Martin, without us mining it for propaganda value against the likes of George W. Bush or Rush Limbaugh, yet conservatism won’t die! Celebrities like Morgan Freeman or Janeane Garofalo are told to speak the stupidest things imaginable. Sean Penn defies the imagination. Truly, this is a higher form of humor.

The destruction of the family has, necessarily, meant the crushing of childhood. Children have to matriculate a course in sex and drugs and rock’n’roll just to survive kindergarten. Cigarettes are the least of their worries. Computers have invaded every corner of life. Kids are carrying Android phones to school. You do realize that Android is Linux based? The language used in the source code comments is a threat to the children! Fnord. Progressives celebrate divorce, its liberating effect upon feminists, and its helpfully destructive effect upon the family. The question becomes: how to make divorces uglier, to maximize the negative effect upon children?

The trick would be to mix Evolution into the equation. Tell the children that, by unfortunate accident, they were created by genetically inferior parents, but that the State can help them. While they will be afforded all the hedonistic outlet they can imagine, and then some, by the State. Continuous sexual gratification is, after all, part of the Third Bill of Rights. Not to be confused with reproduction, however. Parenthood, like all expensive gifts, vacations, and prizes, is something that must be rationed by the State, to make it ‘fair’. Running away is to be encouraged, both for its immediate deleterious effect on the family, and for the increased hopelessness it breeds. This drives mangled youth to be more malleable by the state.

Yet, homelessness must never be mentioned when there is a Democ**t in the Oval Office. Disease, homelessness, and loss of employment, and crime are only reported during conservative administrations. The Bureau of Labor Statistics has been infiltrated, and will only announce ‘shiny’ numbers. Also, since Republicans are the party of the rich, homes with swimming pools, hunting, and junk food are of high importance. A pulitzer to anyone snapping a photo of a Bush rigged for the bush, with a shotgun cradled, standing next to his tennis court, mowing down on pork rinds.

Crime of all sorts, of course, will continue to plague society until the entire patriarchal male/female/family model has been finally demolished. Death and disease can be minimized, but until Progressives gain full control, first through ObamaCare, then Single Payer after ObamaCare implodes like the bureaucratice singularity it was meant to be, we will have to continue blaming death and disease upon conservative values and capitalism. Why engage in gambling involving money, when you can do it with peoples’ lives? It is the height of Progressive pleasure, for example, to create scarcity through manipulating markets, to create fear at all times of year, not merely Halloween. Now that is some true crime.

In-depth discussions of sports that require prior knowledge are essential. Sports are the new religion, and thus an opiate for the masses. Sportsmanship, however, must be exposed as a fiction, so that the overpaid prima donnas in garish clothing can be vanguards of societal decay.

Nuclear weapons are a fine source of fear and anxiety, and should be used to generate angst, which can then be focused on conservatives. Occult topics, like vampires and werewolves, can add to the general malaise. Vampires have always had a hedonistic subtext about them, which makes them a good weapon for use to crank up crotch maintenance requirements amongst the godless youth. All forms of witchcraft, sorcery, etc. are in play. Parapsychology and all other non-traditional spiritual topics are fine tools for driving the youth towards a desirable nihilism, while pornography will continue to help degrade and devalue traditional symbols, harden average hearts, and diminish societal joy. Vermin (rats and roaches) are for prominent display, as they underscore the ultimate truth that the common people don’t deserve pretty things.

Poverty is a huge control mechanism, feeding as it does the root envy that drives class warfare. Capitalism makes you want to work your way to join the affluent. Class warfare brings the affluent to the poor. Rap Music, like rock’n’roll, is the anti-rational soundtrack for all that is Progressivism. Rhythm-heavy appeals to the flesh keep the sheep intellectually flocked up. Conflations of ‘love’ and ‘sex’ are encouraged.

Religion is good for Progress, insofar as it can provide fodder for guilt and permit the crushing of individuality under the aegis of nebulous “social justice.” Conversely, anybody feeling liberated from the State through their faith must be punished. The State will not have any other gods before it. So forget religious holidays and festivals (including but not limited to Christmas, Yom Kippur, and Ramadan, though Muslim observances are certainly permissible under the guise of multiculturalism.)

Terrorism, violence, war and bloodshed, traumatic material, and weapons (guns, knives, etc.) are all key tools for jacking up the anxiety level of people of all ages, and turning them into willing putty of the State. Television and video games are a great means of turning otherwise creative people into pudding heads.

Politics in everything, all the time, is what this is about. The control of the state must extend to everything, but slavery can only come up when attached to conservatives. Conversely, individualism must be crushed.

Be it known that the author achieved a self-creep-out while writing this.

    We kill PC via a combination of questions and laughter.
    Once you understand that PC is Postmodern, Orwellian hooey, you, too can creep yourself out.

    With a D in the WH (especially this D), NewSpeak and The Ministry of Information are the order of the day. The liberal (read Marxist) left always seeks to define the dialog by redefining terms and subverting the language. Those of us that have seen through the propaganda that passes as entertainment today (thank you cultural Marxists for every television program with a gay character and for every TV ad) are not convinced or fooled by your agenda.

    -A tour de force!

    -I hope you were able to successfully break your mind meld with whatever Bolshe mind you joined with to produce this.

    -You wrote: Vampires have always had a hedonistic subtext about them….

    A hedonistic and homosexual [at least in the 20th and 21st Centuries] subtext.

    True story: I remember about a dozen years ago or so, a friend of mine who worked for Microsoft complaining that they were making them take all occurrences of ‘sucks’ out of the NT source code.
