The Death of Truth

     The Politically Correct movement is guilty of Aggravated Murder.   No, they didn’t rob and kill a convenient store clerk or bash a baby seal over the head with a club.  But their victim was no less real and much more profound; they murdered TRUTH.  

      At first glance it would seem impossible to snuff the life out of an inanimate ideal, but their insidious scheme functioned better than any plot hatched from the mind of Agatha Christie.  They murdered truth by slowly demonizing it.  

     For instance, if the PC movement wanted to destroy the universal truth that 2 + 2 = 4, they would start by saying, “While we all know that 2 + 2 = 4, it is unfair of us to look down upon the ignorant and less fortunates who were born in such a way as not to understand or agree that 2 + 2 = 4.” 

     After a few years of that line of reasoning, they would take the next step by saying, “While we all know that 2 + 2 = 4, we should be TOLERANT of those who disagree based on their personal conviction.” Next they say, “It is INTOLERANT, to believe that everyone should have to accept the premise that 2 + 2 = 4.” 

     Then, “Because is it politically incorrect to say that 2 + 2 = 4, we should institute sensitivity training in our public schools, so that the next generation of students don’t grow up as INTOLERANT as their parents.” Next a law is passed that says, “Anyone who says that 2 + 2 = 4 is a closed-minded bigot guilty of HATE SPEECH.” 

     Finally, “2 + 2 does not equal 4.” 

When is a HATE-CRIME not a HATE-CRIME

          You have heard of Matthew Shepherd haven’t you?  Of course you have.  He was the homosexual maliciously murdered in Wyoming by two heterosexuals.  The incident sparked no fewer then 3,000 media stories, inspired HATE-CRIME legislation all across the country, and even spawned a scholarship in his name for gay and lesbian students.  In one fell swoop Matthew Shepherd became the poster-boy for the liberal agenda and a martyr for the homosexual movement.

          Now, have you every heard the story of Jesse Dirkhising?  No?  I didn’t think so.  He’s the 13-year-old boy who was raped and murdered by two homosexuals in Arkansas in the fall of 2000.  The major opinion makers – The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, CBS, NBC, CNN – have produced a combined sum total of ZERO stories about Jesse Dirkhising.  Why the media blackout? After all if it’s a newsworthy HATE-CRIME when a homosexual is killed by two heterosexuals, why isn’t it a newsworthy HATE-CRIME when a heterosexual juvenile is sodomized, raped, and murdered by two homosexuals?In both cases a young man was senselessly murdered. 

          But there is more to the story.  You see, at the time Jesse was killed, the media was busy crucifying the Boy Scouts for banning homosexuals from being Scout leaders.  Jesse’s story didn’t fit the liberal propaganda the major news agencies were busy ramming down our collective throats.  I mean, how would it look if Brian Williams did a piece bashing the Boy Scouts for banning gays, only to be followed by Katie Couric’s expose of the two homosexual who raped and killed little Jesse.  Such a segue would make it seem like the Boy Scouts actually knew what they were doing.  So Jesse’s case got swept under the rug, because his death wasn’t politically incorrect.
