According to The Constitution and our founding ideals, those words have specific, rational, and consistent meanings. Under the antithetical morality of progressivism they have entirely different ones. The result of more than 50 years of constant assault on rationality is that we now have a nation that stands upon and functions primarily according to two gravely important new virtues: theft and slavery.

In order to remain in the favor of the collectivists and avoid inciting their tyranny, one must be sure to genuflect before the altar of altruism and atone for one’s capitalist sins. Much like the clever pro athlete who voluntarily imposes a two-game suspension upon himself after a flagrant ethics violation, the leftist artist of today imposes similar voluntary self sanctions after flagrant and inflammatory profit from his work.
