How was the estimate of 109 per cent reached? 51 per cent of the population are women and ethnic minorities make up another eight per cent, according to the 2001 Census, and some 22 per cent of the population of Great Britain are said to be disabled. \u00a0 Eighteen per cent of the population are pensioners. And at the time of the 2001 Census about five per cent belonged to non-Christian faiths.\u00a0 A similar proportion were gays and lesbians.”<\/p>\n

We\u2019re (Nearly) All Victims Now!<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 by David G. Green<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Since the beginning of 2012 Obama propaganda programs have cycled through women, racial minorities, illegals, and now sexual minorities.\u00a0 Surprisingly and despite their significant numbers, disabled and the elderly haven’t been tagged yet.\u00a0 This could be because the left already control them through their significant pre-existing long-term dependence on government entitlements.\u00a0 Those friendly reminders from AARP aren’t just offers for insurance; they’re messages to the elderly about who’s their daddy.<\/p>\n

In the non-victim category we have public union members, government workers, private union members in publicly owned formerly private corporations, and government entitlement beneficiaries.\u00a0 Those boxes don’t get checked through propaganda.\u00a0 They just get large amounts of cash.<\/p>\n

Each of us is an interest group to the left.\u00a0 Our personalities are no more than the group characteristics they can buy, persuade or coax out of us.\u00a0 We are their subjects, all 109% of us.\u00a0 What we love, choose, think, value, and do, means nothing to the left until we venture outside the group norms they’ve dictated to us.\u00a0 Only when we step out of their bounds does our freedom concern them.<\/p>\n

For these breakouts, politically correct speech police backed up by mass media artillery stand ready to suppress excessive freedom with vilification, branding, re-definition, spinning, shunning, and condemnation.\u00a0 Few in public life risk stepping outside leftist norms because the price of an offense is a public image hanging.\u00a0 These largely electronic social events have replaced the old west town squares where public hangings were attended by all in a jovial atmosphere of shared moral certainty, perhaps not unlike that found at a Muslim stoning in a number of contemporary Islamic backwaters.<\/p>\n

The more things change, the more they don’t.\u00a0 So you’d better shape up, big brother really is watching, and these days he’s paying top dollar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
