Michael Stipe

As the nation’s electoral reckoning is mere days away, Hollywood entertainers are using their precious last moments of political persuasion to advocate for more killing of unborn children. What a beautiful set of values the left has, huh?

In the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, readers are treated to what George Orwell thought citizenship would look like in a post-truth era: Emotion is valued over truth, and the proletariat basks in enormous amounts of media meant to pander to and subdue them.

The Daily Beast’s Asawin Suebsaeng showed an inordinate amount of favor for his fellow liberals in 80’s rock band R.E.M. when they told Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz to “Go F**k Themselves” In fact, Suebsaeng’s first line in his not so objective article is “Memo to Donald Trump and Ted Cruz: Don’t f**k around with R.E.M.’s songs at your rallies.”

Does anyone remember the Reagan-Bush internment camps after the discovery of the AIDS virus? No? Rolling Stone reported that former R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe declared at a taping of a show for Viacom’s Logo channel that he was afraid to get an HIV test in the 1980s for fear of the right-wing oppression that would result. He waited five years out of progressive paranoia.
