Tyrants of Thought

 By CE Marshall

  DON'T EVEN THINK IT 

Dear Readers-- if you follow me on a regular basis then I apologize for my absence.   My last post was on February 16th regarding the Save America Act (which sadly, is still stuck in the Senate) To explain,  I'm in the plant business and Spring is a very busy time for me- not to mention on April 1  I was bitten by a pit bull (and that ain't no April Fools joke!).  That has taken quite a bit of my attention and occupied my mind.  That entire fiasco will be addressed in a future blog (I think.  It depends if the mood strikes me to review the entire episode). As of right now the saga is still not really over but I do feel I've rounded the curve to the finish line.  

     Today this title- "Tyrants of Thought" popped in my head and I thought to myself "that would be a great title to one of my blogs", so here I am!  What will this be about, I'm not totally sure- but I guess we'll find out shortly.  By the way I am working on a book- titled "An American Voice" or "A Voice of Reason"- I haven't made up my mind.  Maybe another title?  "Tyrants of Thought"?   It will be an elaboration on some of my humble opinions regarding ways to fix our broken, blubbery, fat, ineffective government.  My intention is to have it published an Amazon Publishing and posted with links to purchase here on my blog that you're reading right now.  My goal was to have it published by my daughter's birthday, May 5, but because of the dog bite that idea went off the rails.  Now, my goal is July 4 on time for the USA's 250th birthday.  

     Who are the Tyrants of Thought?    If you've read this blog you know that I refer to the "powers that be" here in the early 21st Century as "The Silent Tyrants" and also on occasion "Mad King George" to refer to the dictators that rule us through media and big government and academia and global corporations (as well as domestic corporations, they surely are not innocent!).  They are all complicit in controlling us and our thoughts, however in particular, the rulers of media, the press, and academia are the vectors of tyrannical thought where their ideas and ways of seeing things are sacrosanct and anything contrary is blasphemous or heresy to the "new world order" that they have been working on so hard and for so long.  Tyrants of thought are not only in these groups, they're in the schools and the churches and everywhere that people gather and move forward to act as a group.  These people tend to be more the minions of the "tyrants of thoughts" and are not where the tyrannical thoughts spring forth from. They are, however, just as dangerous to you and me because they are the "useful idiots" that the tyrants instruct to do their bidding.  They don't think for themselves, and they run on passion and emotion rather than rational thought and common sense.  

     An example of "TOT" (Tyrants of Thought) would be Trump Derangement Syndrome at the local level where the minions have been instructed and are obeying the edicts of the corporate media and the globalists to hate Donald Trump.  The rationale is that he's dictator and a Nazi or a King, etc.... whereas the fact that they are able to say such things on the street corner with no fear of retribution is evidence that he actually is not.  It also is an example of their lack of understanding of our government and how it works- no one person can get his or her way as President.  That would not be true if we had the absolute government that they crave controlling everything.  That is true dictatorship as what we saw in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.   The irony is they are the very people that would enable our government to such power and use its power to encroach on the rights of their neighbors.  This we saw during the COVID pandemic with elaborate fanfare as citizens told on their neighbors for having more than 5 visitors or people were denied visitation to dying family members.  

In my humble opinion, here is a list of the thoughts that tyrannical leaders through various methods, are ruling us and intimidating all of us to think and to not question.  If something is not up for debate or is "settled science" then it is more than likely a tyrannical thought that springs from someone who benefits that we all think the way the want us to think.   On this list, many are such a part of the Silent Tyrants' agenda, that if you don't agree with them then their minions will defriend you off Facebook, etc...  and you are not to be addressed again. You are "persona non grata" as the Latin saying goes.  

The Edicts of the Thought Tyrants 

1) Donald Trump is an insane tyrant.  

2)  Climate Change is real. 

3)  All vaccines are good and are completely safe.  

4)  People are born gay; they don't choose to be gay. 

5)  People who identify as the opposite sex are totally sane and should be encouraged and enabled to do so. 

6) The universe is billions of years old. 

7)  The Theory of Evolution is fact, not theory. 

8)  All physical reality can be explained through science, if scientists don't have the answer now, they will eventually. 

9)  The Holy Bible is to be interpreted according to how you feel about what it's saying and obedience to it relies on whether you agree with it or not.  

10)  You have to get more education in order to be a fulfilled as a human being, no matter how useless what you study is. 

11) The sexes are equal to each other, and each is just as capable of doing anything as the other. 

12)  White people and/or males are responsible for most of the bad things that happen in the world today. 

13) Diversity of people is always a good thing.  

14)  Diversity of thought is never a good thing.  

15)  Emotions are much more important than the logical reality of any situation. 

16)  Any problem can be solved if you hand it over to federal agencies, or the Universities for examination along with lots and lots of money to "study" the issue. 


In the mind of the "statists" or the "thought tyrants" there is no debate to be had with any of these issues.  These are all "settled science".  

In My Humble Opinion.....

Role of Government...... to Enforce Manners ?

By Chuck Marshall


Miss Manners


     The title of this blog "Marshall in the Middle"  implies  my belief in a more moderate political angle (and a moderate approach to many things in life, but that's another topic).   I usually see both sides of issues and I feel I usually understand "why" the right or left feels and act as they do.  That being said, I do tend to have ideas that I think are much more pragmatic than other people which leans my core ideas of what the government should and should not be doing towards the right.   I just feel things usually work better without the government involved in the challenging issues of the day.   Case in point;  the responsibilities of the courts to uphold "fairness" in business activities.   Much of this spins from all the recent controversy involved in the state laws  that seem to allow a business to refuse service to a homosexual citizen.   


     If I ran a business, such as restaurant, I would welcome anyone who came in- as long as they behave themselves, are respectful of other customers, and they pay their bill.  To me, this is just good manners and the right thing to do (and - as luck would have it- is congruent to my morals as an active Christian man).  Does that mean everybody else in the world needs to judge "proper" behavior the same way as I do ?  Of course not !  That's why we have different businesses and we should all be free to go where we're comfortable.   If  I, a heterosexual white man, went to a business run by a gay man and they refused me service because I was straight I would be very insulted and outraged, however I'm not sure that's the government's problem.  Why do I need the government to fix the narrow mindedness and insulting habits of this one situation?   Word of mouth and my not returning to the business would hurt them and eventually they would probably go out of business anyway.  The problem solves itself.  

     This is not to say that government involvement has never been necessary.  In the south of 50 years ago a black person could not sit at the lunch counter of a Walgreens drugstore or even enter certain businesses.    That was an off-shoot of great bigotry and the horrific slave owning history of the south.  That situation required government action at that point in time, but as is often the case,  I'm not sure  laws enforcing business to allow everyone into their establishment are still necessary. Wouldn't word of  mouth from a bigoted business eventually sink them today?  Bad manners are bad manners and they will eventually cause the failure of the narrow minded, bigoted business.  

     In public places the law of the land should be to shield anyone from being refused access.  This includes corporations, ie  publicly traded companies (Walgreens, McDonalds, etc...) because by their very name they are a part of the public realm and all existing laws are warranted.  But do all "private" businesses have to be legislated and ordered to allow and serve customers they don't want ?   Isn't it their right to have bad manners and suffer the consequences that come with that?  The left always sees the government as the answer to a problem.,, but I seriously do not think that laws can make us all be  nice to each other.   Manners just as many other issues in life are better left to each citizen to decide.  Much of all this reminds me of George Orwell's novel "1984" where the government had such control over people that you couldn't even "think" things that were contrary to government edicts.  I sincerely care about all people and do my best to be fair in all situations but I can't agree with people who believe the government should be "fixing" us of our "bad thoughts".   Leave people alone and let them make their own mistakes.  Government action rarely is necessary to "fix" bad thoughts.  Hateful, bigoted, angry thoughts usually circle back around to fix the "thinker" as a natural consequence and often serves to teach the "thinker" a lesson or two. Such is the way of the Universe not Washington, DC.  The government brings conflict and lawsuits, and angry citizens and simmers distrust and dislike between people because it is simply not effective at controlling human behavior. Controlling private businesses in such a manner is not, in my humble opinion, the role of the government.
