The Futility of Searching for Common Ground

George Rebane

My original ‘Quo tendimus?’ piece (here) was published in the 20apr21 Union (here) retitled ‘Where exactly are we headed?’, I guess, to make it more accessible to the newspaper’s readership who are classed not capable of googling the original Latin.  The article immediately drew the vitriol, ire, and personal invective from a long list of local liberals, not one of them having understood the thrust of my offer of a new approach for finding common ground which may help us start back on the road to unity.  None showed the ability or propensity to discuss the presented ideas.

They all exhibited what has become the common denominator for the worldview of the nation’s main street Left (aka Democrats).  None of them are aware of the ideological sentiments of the political leadership that today dictate the Democrats’ policies in economics, education, foreign policy, workplace, environment, … .  Citing the names of such thought leaders and identifying example pro-Marxist policies for these light readers is like water off a duck – these cannot serve as substance for them because they know not how such policies have historically ushered in socialist autocracies.

So they accuse me, and anyone else with a similar portfolio, as providing no backing for our characterizing the Left’s desired destination for social order and the government required to implement and maintain it.  The short of it is that a conversation with them cannot be started even at this low level of reason.  One must take these unwilling people back to a grade school that no longer exists and the return to which would be a gargantuan task.  (Here is how one parent of one of today’s exclusive woke grade schools reacted with an eloquence which was totally lost on the school’s leftwing administration.  H/T to reader.)

And yet, the road forward that we can travel together must be selected through a process such as I have outlined.  The argument is simple.  Once again, identify your destination social orders,  attempt to compromise on one that you both would tolerate.  At this point you can begin sorting out the kind of public policies that would bring about and maintain such a social order.  If you are still fortunate to agree on a feasible set of those, only then can you select a road that you can walk together toward your mutually agreed on destination.  And until then you can do nothing other than continue drawing apart as you shout epithets at each other across the widening chasm.

Our liberal and more zealous progressives understand none of this.  While they quack like socialists, walk like socialists, they all still consider being labeled a socialist as some kind of petty political name-calling.  They simply resent being identified as collectivists, which messaging is carefully managed by the Democrat Party and its lamestream media. The bottom line here is that these people still consider themselves to be middle roaders, as they promote and support all the trappings of a collectivist leviathan government.  Hence, the ongoing futility of searching for common ground that must preamble unity.

On a totally separate matter, I continue to note the reaction and participation of local conservatives cum Republicans in such debates.  These people are chronically absent from the public forum’s political frays that are a necessary feature of democratic republics, especially as constituted by peoples of diverse cultural backgrounds and practices.  Our local Republican Party does literally nothing to support those few of us locals who daily engage in the national debate with collectivists, those who want to fundamentally transform America.  The rightwingers are absent from the fray, year after year spending time in cliquish enclaves, echoing their sentiments to each other, while hoping that somehow the great political outdoors will discover their number and cloistered apologetics, and spontaneously morph into good constitutional conservatives.

"Our local Republican Party does literally nothing to support those few of us locals who daily engage in the national debate with collectivists"

Maybe they disagree with your far right ideology and, like most people, are really more center of the road than the far right extremism you espouse. Ever think of that?

[George Rebane]

RobertC 937am - OK Robert, can you list one or two tenets of my "far right ideology" with which Republicans disagree? Moreover, then why is my criticism an ongoing national concern/debate among Republicans as they compare their involvement and support to that evinced daily by Democrats?

WHAT? So trying to kill someone else with a knife does not count and its systematic racism? -

White House press secretary Jen Psaki called the Ohio police shooting of a teenage girl who appeared to be wielding a knife "tragic" and said it will fuel the White House to continue addressing "systemic racism."

"Let me just say, since you gave me the opportunity, the killing of 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant by the Columbus police is tragic. She was a child," Psaki said. "We know that police violence disproportionately impacts Black and Latino people and communities and that Black women and girls like Black men and boys experience higher rates of police violence."

Out and out lies -

The bodycam video shows that as soon as police pulled up, a young female tackles another female to the ground, holding what appeared to be a knife in her hand. The girl is then seen charging at another female while raising the apparent knife in the air, at which point the officer fired multiple shots.

"As we breathed a collective sigh of relief today, a community in Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting as @ColumbusPolice killed an unarmed 15 [year old] Black girl named Makiyah Bryant. Another child lost! Another hashtag," Crump wrote on Twitter.

Where is the interview with the other girls who were having a "peaceful discussion" with Ma'Khia? And who was the person(s) who called 911 about a stabbing - obviously, this person was grossly mistaken. "It actually didn't look like a knife to me - I thought it was just her American Express card. She never leaves home without it."

Evidently she had many relatives. Then why was she in foster care? Mom & dad are not mentioned or interviewed.

How about saying the names of the other girls who were NOT killed by Ma'Khia?

Don 8:50 - "They are going to beat this dead horse..."
It's a remarkably spirited steed for being dead. It still animates the useful idiots.
Listen to the Dems rhetoric on this issue and watch how the various Tass agencies in this country cover it.
It buries the inconvenient issues such as Gov Cuomo and Hunter Biden.
And it gets packaged as part and parcel with the current push by the Dems to become the permanent party in fed power.
If you are against the laughably named 'infrastructure' actions, against the ballot stuffing bills or if you are against packing the court then you are racist and want to gun down all the blacks.
As long as that horse has traction and moves, it matters not how foul-smelling and hideous a beast it is - it looks like it might just get the Dems to their desired destination.

Well that explains a lot -

The entire survey of 11,537 U.S. adults was conducted March 19-24, 2020, using the Pew Research Center’s American Trends Panel. Wave 64 of the study dealt with mental health issues.

Goldberg first observed the Pew data showed “white (and especially ‘very’) liberals are far more likely than all other ideological-racial subgroups to report being diagnosed with a mental health condition.”

Overall, and with one exception (white moderates), those in 18-29 age group are more likely to report being diagnosed with a mental health condition. The differences among white liberals, though, are striking: almost half of white liberals in this cohort report a diagnosis.

When sex and age were factors, 56.3 percent of white women between the ages of 18 and 29 and who labeled themselves as “liberal,” said they had been given a mental health diagnosis, compared to 27.3 percent of conservatives in the same categories and 28.4 percent of moderates

I don't know any tenants about which Republicans disagree with you. I was just expressing a possible explanation to your statement that the "local Republican Party does literally nothing to support" the noisy few of you. You probably need to ask a Republican about that. Probably one outside your circle of posters unless you only care to hear from the choir. As to your second sentence, I think what you are asking is why local Democrats seem to have a greater degree of involvement than the Pubs. One explanation could be simply because people are sick and tired of all the lies and bullcrap that comes our of the right wing noise machine and the mindless repeaters who echoed those lies. Maybe they just aren't going to sit by and take it anymore after four years of having to listen to the greatest liar ever to occupy public office

Dumb them down in the name of 'equity' aka critical race theory -

The changes were just the latest of many to prompt concern from parents in the state, which has seen in-fighting over controversial ideas surrounding equity and race.

A Loudoun parent who spoke on the condition of anonymity worried that the changes would "lower standards for all students in the name of equity."

These changes will have a profound impact on students who excel in STEM related curriculum, weakening our country's ability to compete in a global marketplace for years to come," the parent told Fox News on Thursday.

Ian Prior, a Loudoun parent and former Trump administration official, similarly panned the move as a way to "stifle advancement for gifted students and set them back as they prepare for advanced mathematics in college. This is critical race theory in action and parents should be outraged."

When asked, Pyle didn't provide an immediate answer to concerns that the new model would hold kids back. It's unclear how exactly the differentiation would occur. When asked for more details, Pyle said, "Differentiated instruction is designed to provide the appropriate levels of challenge and academic rigor for each student."

The changes come as the state also considered eliminating advanced high school diplomas in an attempt to improve equity.

Following the summer’s widespread racial justice protests after the killing of George Floyd, Republican lawmakers in 34 states have introduced sweeping anti-riot bills, many of which would enhance sentences for those convicted of crimes at protests that turn violent, according to the International Center for Not-For Profit Law. Some would also make it much more difficult for cities to attempt to pull funds out of its local law enforcement’s budget, a nod to the “defund the police” movement.

The issue of election fraud is of concern with regard to common ground. "Stop the steal" about says it all. Yes indeed, stop trump from trying to steal the election. but, In fact you all were right.. there really was election fraud, at least in Pennsylvania. GOP Pennsylvania state Representative Seth Grove said that the state did see small-scale election fraud in the 2020 election, but that it was done by Republicans, and that about says it all right there. As is obvious to anyone with 20/20 vision, whatever republicans accuse opponents of doing is always a smoke screen of something they are doing themselves. The noise about election fraud is simply cover for the voter suppression tactics of the GOP. They can't win without it being rigged.

Good point -

Author of "Nine Nasty Words" and linguistics professor John McWhorter joined "Fox News Primetime" Friday to discuss how those he refers to as "the elect" are trying to "ruin" America, although they think they’re taking the country in a "new and beautiful direction."

McWhorter explained to host Ben Domenech that "the elect" are not the "woke," noting he considers himself woke and has no issue with them.

"The elect are the 'hyper woke,' or more to the point, the elect are the woke who are mean," McWhorter said. "It’s mean woke people who decided in order to make the world properly woke, it makes sense to defend a straight people, destroy careers and reputations, with the idea of being we are on our way to a Brave New World, although I'm not sure the Brave New World they are imagining is one of most of us would think of as a good place."

Domenech voiced his concern over the Virginia Department of Education moving to eliminate accelerated math as an act of racial equity noting the impact to our education environment could prevent America from competing on the "world stage in the long-term."

McWhorter agreed, saying he was "very concerned" about the takeover of education.

"There really is a genuinely alarming takeover of education happening right now, which is based on idea that black kids and also Latino kids should not be expected to actually get the answer, should not be expected to be precise, and to impose the strictures of math upon them is racist. That somehow, being precise, not to mention being on time and cherishing the written word, is a white thing, that we have to decenter whiteness," McWhorter said. "Oddly enough, [progressives] are racists in a new guise, where they think of themselves literally as Jesus."

Domenech pointed out it was odd to see how much the hyper-woke sound a lot like the people society view as historically racist, prompting McWhorter to discuss how language can be used to respond to "hyper-wokeness."

"One thing we have to realize is that a person can use a term and they can mean something more specific than they know, so this idea that the hyper woke, these people I call 'the elect,' are pursuing social justice, they will say, 'aren’t you in favor of social justice?' But what they mean by social justice is a world, for example, where black people don’t have to do math. That is not what most of us think of social justice as being, so the idea is not to get a little nervous and hide in the corner when they say you are against social justice. Say yes, I am in favor of social justice, but what you mean by it is something quite different," McWhorter said.

"Meaning tends to drift from what words tend to formally mean, then, of course, there is the issue of racism, systemic racism, institutional racism. What exactly do we mean? Do we mean that the society is a bigot? And of course, we don't mean that. What we are talking about with institutional racism is there are inequities, and then you have to get into the fact that what "the elect" mean by the inequities is they must always be due to some obstacle that whiteness put in front of brown people, that sometimes the case, but sometimes it just isn't. Their vision of how social history works is extremely simplistic. So we just have to call them on how very particular their uses of words that they tend to purvey as if everything were very obvious are."

‘Is America Led Today By Anti-Americans?’

Our enemies have picked up on this. In Anchorage, after Secretary of State Antony Blinken called Beijing out for repression in Hong Kong and “genocide” in Xinjiang, China’s foreign minister was right back in his face.

......”You Americans should look to your own sins and clean up your house before lecturing the world on political morality, he [the Chinese minister] said. Today, that Chinese foreign minister could cite Biden and Harris as his chief witnesses that America is a nation sick in its soul.”......

....”What Clinton, Biden and Harris are all saying is that, though the moral sickness of racism pervades our society, we are the vaccinated ones.“

THE WAR ON STANDARDS, KNIFE FIGHT EDITION
“When I began my “war on standards” series many years ago, I recognized that the left was trying to tear down core standards of behavior and merit for no other reason than the fact that one racial group was failing, disproportionately, to meet them. I expected the rot to spread far and wide, and it has — to the detriment of society.

However, I never thought it would spread to an attack on the standard against knife fights.

Yet, that now has happened, following the fatal shooting of a black teenage girl who attacked another black teenage girl with a knife. John Kass reports:”
