Orwellian America

I somehow knew my Marine brother, Greg, would eventually write something about this insane event overtaking our country.  This is so unbelievable, it defies even trying to explain it using Webster’s words. With that, I’ll let Greg talk about it.

 

 

A transgressive disaster                                                   By: G. Maresca

The older I get, my hearing and vision isn’t necessarily the problem; rather, it is believing what I hear and see. To wit: the “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act” voted on last week in The House of Representatives.

The bill’s resolve is to amend Title IX’s legislation regarding women’s athletics where “sex shall be recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.” The bill says plenty about the polarization and politicization of transgenderism that is symbolic of today’s devolving culture where an addendum is desperately needed.

Predictably, the vote went strictly along party lines with all Republicans supporting it, while every Democrat voted against it. Given the bill’s necessity in Orwellian America, I couldn’t help but think of one particular episode in the highly acclaimed 2010 HBO series The Pacific that chronicled  the Marine Corps’ numerous island-hopping campaigns during World War II.

The scene upfolds as Marine Eugene Sledge boards an amtrak in the darkened bowels of a navy warship. As the hatch opens to unleash the tracks from their bay, the light is blinding. Within minutes, Sledge and his fellow Marines hit the beaches at Peleliu under extreme fire. Only one percent of those survivors are still with us. I often wonder how they would feel about how their grandchildren are so divided over legislation to protect girls from competing, sharing locker rooms and showers with boys who think they are girls.

What is lost on Democrats is that Title IX was meant to correct sex discrimination, not enforce it.

Are Democrats simply blind loyalists to a deeply flawed political ideology or cowards unable to stand for what they truly believe is right? Or is it that they no longer believe that boys in athletics have innate advantages over girls? Instead, they view the transgendered as victims rather than suffering mentally.

Cue Rod Serling, another decorated World War II veteran, and his notorious Twilight Zone theme. Even Serling’s boundless capacity to write creative futuristic fiction would have an issue with such insanity in 2023 America.

Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy spoke truth to power saying, “There’s a reason why there’s men and women’s sports. . . it’s about fairness.” Florida Republican Greg Steube, one of the bill’s sponsors, added that Congress first passed Title IX “to enable women to have an equal playing field in athletics.”

Women have spent decades fighting for equal opportunities and Title IX ensured they had a level playing field. Allowing men to compete against them is its antithesis. Men’s and women’s sports exist due to fairness.  Recall in 2017, a U-15 boys soccer team from Texas beat the world champion USA women’s team 5-2 in a “practice” game.

Seemingly dismissed is how girls are not clamoring to compete against boys. MMA fighter Jack Shields has challenged any gender-confused woman to a bout. Guess how many have accepted?

None.

Such politically driven ideology deprives girls of opportunities as gender is consciously divorced from one’s biological sex. Girls should not be forced to compete against boys in sports. No issue underscores the leftist agenda more than transgenderism that places the desires of the few above the many. Who could possibly be happy with such circumstances and for what reasons? There is nothing woke or progressive in rolling back women’s rights and protections.

The deconstruction of traditional male and female roles has led to confusion that is the impetus for falling birth rates to the decay of the nuclear family.

This legislation puts the rule of law where one cannot change their biological sex at will.  Such insanity begs the question if changing one’s sex is acceptable, what about changing one’s race?

Where are the pink hats of the feminists? They should be justifiably up in arms, but nary a word unless it is anything pro-abortion.  One would hope that all women affected by this ongoing issue would vote accordingly.

However, in today’s Orwellian America that may be too much to ask.

For those who oppose such common sense, the Senate revealed they will not debate it, while President Biden has said provided the bill ever did make it to his desk, he would veto it.

As such, this insanity continues.

Isn’t it amazing the vote went exactly along party lines? I wonder if any those Dems who voted against the bill have any young daughters playing women’s sports, and if there are some, have they told their daughters  how he/she voted? I doubt it. I am really have a tough time with this issue. I simply cannot believe how someone with half a brain could be in favor of this travesty, but then there are lots of things the Dems do and say that defies my understanding.

George Orwell published “1984” in 1949, a year later on January 21, 1950 he succumbed to Tuberculosis. I wonder what his thoughts would be on today’s Orwellian America. I’ve not read “1984”, but I think I might, but hell, why do so, I’m living it..

  1. Thank God they don’t, can’t or won’t reproduce and if they do they want to abort it…… problem solved in a short time .

  2. Col B,
    I have to share this with you. I don’t know if you are aware but this was posted to a 1st Marine H&S company records / reunion site: https://www.koreanwar.org/html/units/usmc/1mareg_hs.htm
    I don’t know why it’s in the Korean War section.

    Well here is the post I copied and pasted for you:

    I was just surfing the web looking around MC reunion sites and I remembered the chapter in the book about Gary Olson when I saw this.
    Hope this finds you well Sir. Proud to have served with you and so many more from 2/6.

    1. Thanks Doug. I believe someone sent me that back then and I “think” I replied to him with many pics.

  3. Transgenderism is nothing but diabolical. Good will be called bad and bad good, which is Biblical. This is not complicated. There will be no fence sitters come judgement.

  4. Up until a few short years ago the standard number for gay or LGBTQ etc. was 40 in 100,000. In just the past couple of years the number has jumped to 25,000 in 100,000. This is clearly a mix of brainwashing and following a fad to feel special. Sadly these kids will get older and realize the meds they took have permanently sterilized them and caused physical changes for life, never mind if they have surgeries. And Megan Rapinoe, pink haired and foul mouthed lesbian of soccer fame played a game against 15 and younger boys and lost. Yet she won’t speak against boys in girls sports. This is a sickness. My dad would roll over in his grave if he knew what’s happening on earth today.

  5. The core issue is not someborn with male organs, or female body organs having been improperly given their sex! Instead it is a mental issue that needs to be treated medically and with an emphatic, but non complying parents who have understood their own sexuality. If children are confused as to their own sexual identity they need only look down and there is their answer. NOT adquasing to the child’s sexual confusion but correcting that confusion factually. Yes I do, probably better than most having been a police officer for 25 years and a farm boy, there are times that animals and humans are born with sexual organs of both sexes. But that is a very rare event and even then doctors and veterinarians are able to determine which is the stronger sexual organs and take medical action to correct that deformity. I am not confused except by those who are confused about this issue. Common sense has prevailed for over 2 centuries AD!

    1. Yes, I concur DB, but relying on common sense is not an option today in our America, half the population have no common sense. The kids today are raised by a group of “grown ups,” I think we can call them that, who were not raised in a society with morals. Because a 5 year old wants to play with her older brother’s trucks, does not mean she is gender confused. But that sign triggers parents of today and off to the therapist or medical doctor they run!

  6. Trans people account for .5% of the US population. That’s POINT 5 %, 5/10ths of a percent! The question that has to be answered is why are the democrats forcing this on the majority? Look past this aberration and look to the agenda it is promoting. Total control. 1984 is here.

  7. Yes, we are living out Orwell’s classic, 1984…..To think EVERY Dem voted for this, including all Dem females…”As such, this insanity continues.” Indeed!
