Don't Go Quoting Chairman Mao

Joltin' Joe Biden ignores the Beatles' advice in his commencement address to the Coast Guard. It's a silly thing to do, for two reasons. 

First, it's Chairman Mao. 

Second, the Chinese don't in any sense live up to the idea that women are equally important to men. Even when Mao said it, it was just a pat on the head. Women in China continue today to be treated as second-class subjects, though they are now free of the forced abortions of the 'One Child' period (except the Uighur women, who are still enduring forced abortions and sterilizations). To cite the Chinese Communists as an aspirational model to American women who are now college graduates is madness: these American women are already going to enjoy vastly greater privileges than their Chinese counterparts. 

Third, why not follow that up with an insult aimed at the graduating class?

  1. Oh, I dunno. Because the graduating class was not his real audience? Bill Clinton introduce the 24/7/365 campaign. There is nothing these people say that is not calculated toward elections, and until their own voters realise that - or at least the independents, there is not much we can do except try to win at the margins.

    Which we can, BTW. Pursue all paths.

    The Purpose Of Political Correctness Is To Humiliate

    Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.

    Since commie commander and thief Biden wants to humiliate, the solution is to not live by lies and be the master truth teller in the spirit of Solzhenitsyn

    I'm starting to wonder if Joe Biden has ever written and delivered a single, fully original speech in his entire career. My suspicion is "rarely, or perhaps no."
