It turns out that the election results were not good enough
to make the Colbert show watchable.
But I toughed it out, anyway.
Somebody has to monitor the enemy!
One thing about the episode is, two of CBS's "journalists"
Alex Wagner and John Heilemann,
were overcome with giddiness enough to drop their "objective" masks.
They revealed how HYPERpartisan they are.
All of us at this forum already knew that,
but they were so BLATANLY biased
that even a
very low information voter could see it!
Even so, many viewers have become so completely brainwashed in recent decades
that they would think that even this obscenely blatant bias is normal.
(There should be somewhere on the web a "thermometer" to show over time
how nearly completely the frog has been boiled to death.)
Yes, I am referring to the "how to boil a frog to death" analogy.
If you put a frog in hot water, it will jump out.
If you put the frog in cool water, and gradually heat it,
the frog will feel comfortable all the way until it has actually been boiled to death.
Likewise, if you suddenly put a country into socialism,
it will react violently against the denial of human rights
that is the core element of ALL socialism.
But if you introduce socialism gradually,
the people will never feel seriously uncomfortable.
They will keep accepting (and even demanding!)
the denial of their fundamental rights
until they have lost ALL of their freedom!
They will become the sort of mindless mob
seen often at today's institutions of higher stupidity,
(formerly called "colleges.")
They DEMAND that people be censored,
not realizing that that power WILL be used against them!
They DEMAND the imposition of a totalitarian police state!
They have been kept completely ignorant of
the mass murder and universal terror
that socialism ALWAYS brings!
Back to the Colbert show:
The audience actually CHEERED for Florida granting convicted felons the right to vote!
That ballot measure in Florida passed 60 to 40.
Throughout the episode, the audience cheered for evils of all kinds.
It reminded me of the scene in "Star Wars III: The Revenge of the Sith"
where Queen Amidala is in the Galactic Senate,
and observes, "So this is how liberty dies...with thunderous applause."
