Humans have defense mechanisms- some would call them instincts, others would simply refer to them as common sense. But whatever you call it, there is something in most all of us that throws up a red flag when our sense of security and safety is in danger.
A simple demonstration of this is the “hot stove top” (an electric coil range in this case). If I said, “Don’t touch the stove top, it will burn your hand”, most people would take the advice right from the get go.
Those who were either deaf or untrusting of my warning would check to see if the stove was turned to the “on” position. After seeing that the stove top was switched to the “on” position, that would be enough to keep their hands away. Some would look to the stove top coil, now a fiery orange color, and take the warning and stay away.
There would even be some people who would test the situation themselves and actually hold their hand inches above the glowing red stove top and feel the heat themselves- but still, they would not touch their hand to the hot stove. Stay with me here, I do have a point to make!
In the end, the truth of the situation (the stove is on!), kept people from burning themselves. Touching the hot stove surface doesn’t serve one’s well being. But what would we say about someone who, after all the warning signs and proof, still touched the stove, resulting in burning their hands to smithereens?
If they touched it after witnessing the facts, we would probably say they were plain and simply stupid, or speaking like a “Harvard Progressive” (while sipping their Château Lafite)- they would be deemed- “simpleminded, dull-witted, obtuse”, or my favorite- “doltish”. I would call them an idiot.
But, if they went back and touched that scalding hot stove top again, after burning several layers of skin of their hand, we could call them insane…yes, I said insane. There is a common phrase said among those in drug and alcohol recovery circles- “doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result is insanity”.
Welcome to the world of Progressives. Facts nor truth, have any relevance to their cause. In fact, actual history- opposed to a cleansed history- are like hemorrhoids to the Progressive movement- a real pain in the butt to their cause (I couldn’t resist).
Have you ever questioned why so-called “humanitarians” on the left have heroes such as Che Guevara, Chairman Mao, or Karl Marx? Most people’s intuition would tell them that these are not what we would categorize as decent “humanitarian” historic figures. But progressives throughout history, including some within our own government, openly defend and classify these dictators and murderers as their “go to” people. (A few examples HERE, and HERE
Take Che Guevara as an example. The left treat this guy like a combination of Mickey Mouse and Martin Luther King,Jr. College kids going to school on mom and dad’s bank account walk around campus “texting” on their i-Phones, listening to the latest Jay-Z mp3s, while they sport their latest t-shirts with the face of Che gracing the front.
Now I can excuse youthful ignorance. Many young people see their favorite rap star, rock star, or celebrity wearing clothing with “that Cuban guy” on the front. Why someone like Carlos Santana or Jay-Z would give props to a racist murderer is beyond me- but maybe they are actually ignorant (no surprise there). Most of these kids don’t even know who the real Che was- if they even know who he is to begin with.
But the longer people see celebrities where Che shirts (along with their kids) 
they begin to buy into the lie. Throw in a few glossy Hollywood-made “Che flicks” that leave out the dirty facts, and you have a nation of sheep sporting Che thongs, Che sunglasses, and drinking Che Beer…or better yet, Kool-Aid.
If Barack Obama’s co-workers quote Mao, even citing him as a person to be looked up to, people begin to believe Mao might not be so bad after all. And that crazy bearded guy Marx- he’s like Santa Klaus…handing out wonderful Communist gifts to all who are good…as long as they’re not “undesirable” of course.
But let’s put aside ignorance- innocent or not. Once we learn the truth, once we see the facts in front of us, how do we react? How do progressives react? When the truth of these historic figures is exposed- most people with a loving soul accept that these are not good people. But that isn’t happening with the Progressives.
Progressives, when faced with these facts, will argue with everything but the facts. They will argue with the style in which the facts are presented. They will argue with the person delivering the facts. Progressives will point to this, then that, and then do a roundabout- but never address the facts. They cannot address the facts, because there is no way to defend the bloodshed and murder caused by their heroes. So it is easier to put the walls up- and exit- no debate! Sound familiar?
But I know that all progressives cannot believe the murder of millions of people is a good thing. Many of these people are simply not informed. They’ve been reading books that have conveniently left out major details of Stalin, Mao, and or Che’s history. They have no defense of Mao’s actual atrocities. They feel cornered when they realize Che Guevera is a racist bigot who murdered defenseless Cubans. How can they defend that? They can’t, so they misdirect the conversation on the messenger- demonize them. Pride won’t allow them to admit that these were some evil bastards. It can be a bitter pill to swallow.
But what about those people who are exposed to the truth. Even when faced with the victims of Che, Mao, or Stalin- these progressives still come back for more.
The left still hold up their hands in support for Che’s Revolution. The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) even paid a visit to Cuba and practically drooled over the Communist regime.
Did the CBC call out the Castros for imprisoning political prisoners? Did they ask to visit the black Cuban anti-communist named Antunez, who had been imprisoned for 17 years in the dungeons of Castro? Do they know that Antunez was imprisoned for 17 years because he quoted Martin Luther King, Jr. and the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights in the public square?
Antuzez’s sister tells us, “The racist mentality is so ingrained among Cuba’s agents of repression that when mixed race groups are stopped on the street, only the blacks are asked for their identification papers. The only thing I have to thank the Cuban revolution for,” she quoted her brother, “is for restoring the yoke of slavery that my ancestors lived under.”
So what did Congressman Bobby Rush (D-Ill) have to say after meeting with Dictator Raul Castro while Antunez was imprisoned on the same island?
Bobby Rush said, “Raul Castro was a very engaging, down-to-earth and kind man…someone who I would favor as a neighbor. It was almost like visiting an old friend.”
Coming from a former Black Panther, Bobby Rush is either incredibly ignorant, or is willing to accept that the “ends justify the means” when it comes to Marxist regimes. Did Bobby somehow miss the racist part of Cuba’s “hero”?
Che Guevera, himself, wrote in his book, The Motorcycle Diaries, “The blacks, those magnificent examples of the African race who have maintained their racial purity thanks to their lack of an affinity with bathing…The black is indolent and a dreamer; spending his meager wage on frivolity or drink; the European has a tradition of work and saving, which has pursued him as far as this corner of America and drives him to advance himself, even independently of his own individual aspirations.”
Hero of the left, Sal Alinsky, wrote that “the end justifies almost any means”. It appears that for Progressives, the millions dead as a result of Stalin and Mao, were justifiable- as long as their Marxist/Communist agenda was reached. For Progressives, the executions, racism, and bigotry of Che Guevera was justifiable- as long as his Marxist revolution was successful.
The facts and actual history are finally being unveiled to more people then ever. The question is, when knowledge of the truth is gained- will they accept it and deny evil, or accept it and justify it.
If you watched the Super Bowl, you probably watched the comercials. It’s the one day of the year where viewers actually make a point to stick around for the commercial break- for entertainment of course.
