“We have now sunk to a depth where the restatement of the obvious is the duty of intelligent men”
  - George Orwell. 

How often do we have to return to the words of Orwell to make sense of the world today?  There is madness in our lives, and it neither seeks nor wants a cure.  Great nations are altering their economies, impoverishing their poorest subjects, condemning their progeny all in support of the lie of global warming. 

Is it not obvious, by now, that a cyclical climate change is part of the history of our planet?  (Has that not been obvious since we knew about the ice ages?)  And is it not obvious that we do not even know whether the planet is growing hotter or colder?  (What if the real problem turns out to be global cooling?  Then we have no time to lose in doing all we can to heat up the environment and increase our individual carbon footprint.)  The depressing part of all this is that otherwise sane people seem invested in catastrophic silliness.  We are reduced to restating the obvious.

There is madness in race politics as well.  Most black Americans have their votes bought by new masters who need their votes to stay in power.  The historical precedent for this was in some Southern states many decades ago, when blacks were brought en masse to the polling places, given a silver dollar, a barbeque sandwich and a Coke.  These buyers of black votes were not the friends of blacks but rather their oppressors, the orchestrators of Jim Crow, the members of the very same political party which now owns African-Americans as electoral chattel still.  It is no longer a nuanced question whether ghastly public schools, fatherless homes, government housing projects and welfare mentality consume lives whole.   No great intelligence is required to grasp the dimensions of black hopelessness.  We are again reduced to simply stating the obvious.

Evil, violent people have sworn to kill us, to destroy our society, to impose a totalitarian theocracy upon us, to end Israel, to corrupt our democratic institutions, to insinuate themselves by the millions into those nations that have been our traditional allies — yet political leaders of the Left find it impossible to seriously condemn these, our sworn and mortal enemies.  Why?
