For liberals, two plus two equals five

Liberalism is all about arguing against reality.  Take something which should have no controversy in it at all, and liberals will find a controversy.

For example, men can be women, and women can be men.  However, such a thought cannot be, unless those who utter it have lost their minds.  But that's liberalism for you.  If Bruce Jenner wants to be a girl, and a daddy too, why, what's wrong with that????

Another example is this notion of equality.  The  main problem with liberals, though, is that they think you and I are equal; they themselves on the other hand, are special snowflakes.  As everyone knows, the snowflakes are not to be offended.  The snowflakes cannot be challenged.  The snowflakes cannot be contradicted.  If you commit such an offense, be aware that hell hath no fury like an offended snowflake.

Bill Whittle once wrote an essay called Tribes, in which he described two different Tribes in our culture today.  One tribe, known as the Grays, are the ones in which two plus two equals four, and that's it.  The other tribe, known as the Pinks, can have two plus two equaling any doggone thing they want.  If they cannot get it, then they will raise hell until they do get it.  After 9.1.1.  Whittle said, the nation went Gray.  Since then, we have gone Pink.  We have gotten so pink, that Lenin may be blushing out there in the afterlife.

We're the country that landed men on the moon, but we can't get a man into orbit these days.  In engineering and science, two plus two always equals four.  It is a Gray thing, not a Pink thing.

Once upon a time, we believed in progress.  We still do, only thing is that the kind of progress today isn't progress, unless it is the progress of a fatal disease.  We're going backward, and calling the backwardness "progress".  Going to the moon, therefore, was progress.  Failing to  graduate engineers and scientists, on the other hand, gives you only the kind of progress that can declare AGW as a science to be taken seriously, whilst at the same time forbidding any kind of activity, such as implementing the molten-salt reactor technology that could actually solve that problem, if that problem indeed existed.

To get molten-salt reactors and space travel, you need two plus two to equal four.  When it is otherwise, you get liberalism.  When you get liberalism, you lose it all.  It is just a matter of time.
