Hook, Line and Sinker

In order for this Utopian quest to get underway, the population needs to buy into the idea.  That’s not too hard.  Who wouldn’t agree that people should be treated fairly and justly?  Well, there’s the proverbial Hook.

The Left works its magic and begins to vilify anyone or any institution which is opposed to what they, the Left, feels is an absolute right, entitlement or fact.  They will force their will by elevating their chosen causes or groups.  What they interpret as equal treatment under the law becomes special rights for many.  It may even be interpreted as overdue justice.  So, if some individuals now feel they don’t have the rights they once had, it’s okay because they had them for too long.  Many fall for this unequal justice as some sort of payback and jump on the band wagon.   They enjoy riding out the proverbial Line.

Who decides what is fair and just?  Who decides how to distribute wealth, privilege and opportunities?  The answer is very interesting and so very predictable.  Once you’ve accepted the bait, you have been hooked......
