Progressive Denouement
In my world, the world of theatre and film education, there is a point in the plot where things begin
to unravel. We call that point the French name for "unraveling," which is "denouement"
(DEH-NOO-MAW).
One does not have to strain in order to witness the denouement of the Progressiveic
Party. When almost every quote can be researched in a matter of moments on line, they
continue to tell tall tales and make statements of falsehood and fantasy. There are those
who, instead of lying, simply talk drivel, until the boredom makes the listener turn away with
unbelief and aching head.
It has become a time of misunderstanding, misdirection, misapplication. And as I wrote before,
it is a purposeful campaign of strabismus. hoping that the hail of phony charges and sloganeering
will make honest people cross-eyed. The Progressives are throwing all the mud they can find,
even slandering people of good intention and pure motives in hopes that SOMETHING will stick.
They know that if they lose this time (2012), it could well be the end of the Progressiveic Party.
In the cynical hope that there are enough lazy people in America to become an
impediment to the eternal desire for freedom and self reliance, they employ their union thugs
to bully and their pseudo-intellectuals who fill Northern colleges and Northern-thinking
colleges to intimidate real thinkers. That's real denouement!
Speaking of Northern Colleges..
There are people, right now, in an Illinois university, actually debating whether or not
it's a proper intellectual pursuit to have a live sexual exhibition in a lecture hall. (Naturally,
missing from the discussion is the fact that there are, already, tons of information on
Roman theatrical practice which negates the necessity of the exhibition, and the obvious
lack of distinction between the differences between research and pedagogy - or the
obvious lack of distinction between college and the internet)
It's not that sex shouldn't be taught in school, it's just that scholarship has become such
a shell game in some institutions of higher learning, that students don't know the difference
between heads. And on this one, there is no-one to blame but the Progressives and their
eternal parsing of terms which have been misdefined to begin with. Donkey see, donkey
do.
Fortunately, there are warning signals. The glorification misinformation and slander to
avoid correction are dead giveaways of political desperation.
Hang onto your hats. It's going to be a bumpy ride! Fortunately, it's almost over.
