If You Don't Have The Facts, Invent Them!

I’ve pointed out before that the left has essentially imploded as an ideology. All that is left of their ideology is a list of grievances. What’s more, these grievances are essentially invented by the left because they don’t have actual facts upon which to base their claims. Hence, it should come as no surprise that the left is busy inventing “facts”. Here are two examples:

● Fake Rapes: By now you’ve all heard that the left is trying to invent a rape epidemic. The reason is that the left has come to realize that the only way they have left to push “women’s rights” (read: special draconian legal powers for feminists) is to make the public think that women are in massive danger in society and only a total reformation of the laws can save them.

The first shot at creating a belief in a rape epidemic occurred as far back as at least the 1970s, when feminists invented the statistic that one in five (sometimes said one in ten) rapes aren’t reported. The problem feminists faced at the time was that the federal government keeps pretty good statistics on crime and there just aren’t very many rapes in this country. What’s more, the numbers have been falling steadily. So they needed to find more rapes. That meant inventing them and doing it in a way that couldn’t be easily disproved. Hence, they created the claim that one in five rapes will never be reported, with the idea being that the “real” number of rapes was 5 (or 10) times higher than reported. Along with this, you started hearing that one in four women will be raped in their lifetimes.

Unfortunately, for them, these numbers are obviously bullship. So they invented the idea of date rape and women who didn’t know they were raped until after they realized that they shouldn’t have given consent. Still, no one outside of feminist circles bought this crap either.

Recently, they’ve been busy trying to invent rape stories. This is why Rolling Stone’s fabricated their rape story against the frat and why Lena Dunham fabricated a college rape... in addition to dozens more.

Well, now we have a totally new insane claim which is meant to sell the idea that the Americans everyone thought were good during WWII were really a pack of rapists. This claim comes from a German chick who wrote a book claiming that the World War II allies (Americans, Brits and French... no Russians), raped 285,000 German women. This is ludicrous on its face. Indeed, the military took this crime seriously and reports that 552 rapes occurred, 159 American soldiers were eventually charged, and 29 were hung, and her claim would have there being 516 times the number of real rapes.

So where did the 285,000 figure come from? Get this... the chick started by assuming that 5% of births to unmarried German women between 1945 and 1955 were to American rapists. That is 1,900 births. She then assumes that for each of these, there were 100 rapes which did not result in pregnancy. Consequently, she estimates there were 190,000 rapes by Americans. The other 95,000 rapes were of British or French origin.

Now think about this. This woman has solid evidence only of 552 rapes. Instead, she invents a theory without any backing that 5% of unmarried women who gave birth were raped... with no reason to think this is true. She then combines this with an equally stupid and unsupported theory that there were another 1,000 rapes for each of those fantasy rapes. Essentially, she has invented a fantasy and multiplied it by another fantasy. And she is using that total fantasy, which flies in the face of all reasonable and reliable evidence by a factor of 500 times, to assert her claim that the Americans were dangerous rapists.

Why? Because she hopes, like other feminists, that this will make people think that there is a rape epidemic everywhere because if the supposed good-guy Americans raped that many women, then rape must be going on everywhere.

That is desperate and despicable, but it is the new battleground for feminists and other leftist tribes... invented facts.

● Fake Gays: Gays, like feminists, have been trying to get their numbers up for as long as I can remember. Indeed, many of them still cling to a long discredit number that 1 in 10 people is gay. (This figure was obtained from surveying mental institutions where gays were being treated, and is three to ten times higher than every single legitimate attempt to study the number of gays, which puts the number between 1% and 3% of the population.)

Well, with their numbers falling from one in ten to one in three, the gay lobby needs more ammo. And if you don’t have any, these days you might as well invent it. Hence, a new book claims that pretty much everyone in American history was gay. Washington, Hamilton and Lincoln were all supposed to be gay. As were all the men of Jamestown. And what proof does this turd have? He claims “gaydar” and he says of the Jamestown men, “It’s only natural that men would sleep with each other when there are no women around for months on end.”

Uh, no. That’s not how us heterosexuals think, Mr. Kramer.

Moreover, “gaydar” is not a valid tool of research. Gaydar is not evidence. What’s more, some of the gaydar evidence he points at is things like Washington picking decorative uniforms for his troops, which makes Washington “basically a big queen.” Only, if Kramer had done any research at all, he would have found that the American uniforms were modeled on the British uniforms, only they were blue, and every single country in the world at that time wore roughly similar uniforms.

Basically, Kramer is inventing this. He is doing that in the hopes of claiming that gays have always been openly woven into the fabric of society and that somehow the idea that homosexuality is abnormal is a modern invention.

It’s bunk.

This is what the left has sunk to. How sad.
