In more post-modern tyranny news

A bill, symbolic though it may be, heads for the Senate.  It shows the growing impatience that a sizable number of Americans have over this whole freedom garbage.  Like many in the post-modern Left, the desire is for a country founded on values-based rights: if you don't have the right values, you don't deserve the rights. 

I don't believe for a minute that most Americans are stupid enough to believe the word drool of folks like Senator Schumer as he invokes the classic 'they're coming to get you'! McCarthy style paranoia about the GOP and the Catholic Church wanting to take away birth control.  Americans, despite our best efforts, aren't that stupid.

Instead, like people who watch the news, knowing full well that it's agenda driven propaganda, we ignore the truth and facts altogether, and affirm whatever it is that gets us what we want.  So it will be interesting to watch what happens.  The Senate, Democrat controlled, looks poised to strike another blow against traditional freedom and inch us that much closer to good old leftist tyranny, with over 40% of the population giving their approval.  Maybe not.  We'll just have to see.
