The age of Unreason

[miketx]

It is upon us and never would I have imagined the insanity that has been unleashed on our society.


Deep in the Age of Unreason
By Eric Utter
There was once an Age of Reason. Today, we appear to be living in the Age of Unreason. Or insanity.

As I've noted in previous posts, it is exceedingly difficult today for a sane person to believe what he observes on a daily basis, whether it be Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stating that the world will end in 12 years, Nancy Pelosi demanding that Republicans in the Senate put on a "fair" trial, pundits and talking heads blithely comparing President Trump to Hitler or the devil, people being threatened with fines or job loss for "misgendering" someone, or the pronouncements that men are having their own babies...to name but a few of the absurdities now passed off as news. Additionally, nearly every progressive policy prescription is utterly, demonstrably devoid of reason and logic.

To wit: Abortion should be legal, as it's simply "a woman's choice" to do what she will with her body? No. She can't light up a cigarette in a public restaurant. She can't depress the accelerator of her car too far without being issued a ticket for speeding or worse. She can't drive drunk. If she is conservative, she often can't even speak without being shouted down or chased off college campuses. She may be asked to leave a restaurant while quietly dining with family. She may even be assaulted. Just ask Sarah Sanders, Candace Owens, or Michelle Malkin, among many others.

It's called LIBERALISM. Like boiling a frog by turning up the heat 1° at a time, the Progressives have infected us with society-wide mental illness and a third the country hasn't noticed, another third actually likes it while the remaining third, by the time they realized how wrong they were not to nip it in the bud at its start 100 years ago, are now too afraid to do anything about it.

I know what you mean but I think the word liberal is greatly mistreated today. I'm liberal on lots of things, so I thank the correct word is progressive.

So am I, but the meaning of liberalism has morphed over the years just as what it once meant to be a democrat compared to today.
