WORD FOR THE DAY: APOPEMPTIC
2000 Most Challenging and Obscure Words | 1/18/17 | Norman Schur

;


In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".

apopemptic,/I> [ap uh PEMP tik]

hear it pronounced

adjective

Apopemptic describes anything addressed to one departing, whether spoken or sung, a farewell message, a valedictory.

It is from Greek apopemptikos (pertaining to ending away), based on prefix apo- (away) plus pempein (to send).

The advice of Polonius to his son Laertes in Shakespeare's Hamlet (Act I, Scene 3) is one of the most eloquent (apopemptic) speeches in literature.

"...To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the day the night that thou canst not then be false to any man...."

describes messages to, rather than from, those takiing their leave. Thus it does not apply to a farewell address but rather to those who comment on such an address.

Well, absolutely. The democrats must preserve their base of power which is the cesspits of our inner cities. when we break up their stranglehold on the poor, the unions, and political graft we will have sounded the death knell of the democrat party.

The Truth About the Obama ‘Presidency’ He was not presidential.

We need to understand exactly what is happening. This is big picture stuff. Very Important

It was Obama who introduced uncertainty into our traditional alliances, including Japan, not Trump as presently claimed by the caterwauling left.

In particular all of our allies watched in horror and disbelief when Obama abandoned US allies Libya and Egypt , using various ideological politically correct excuses of disagreement on the internal affairs of those nations.Libya was destroyed by NATO, a travesty.

Trump is repairing that damage and DE-emphasizing the Saudi role in Americas international affairs.The Sods have one last chore to do.Look after the refugees of the Levant.

The EU bent over for Obama, the great Nobel Peace Prize recipient.Obama entered, drank their wine,ate their cheese, denigrated their anti-Muslim crackers,smelled their perfume,breached stuffy protocols, kissed male leaders on the lips, convinced the EU of his moral superiority as Americas first blackish president. They believed their own myth.Japan does not.Japan remembered the utopian fascism of Tojo while Europe all but forgot the utopian-ism of Hitler and Mussolini.

Obama then used Europe to create his Arab Spring, releasing millions of refugees from the Levant, Libya and Africa, all aimed at the heart of Russia,a US betrayal of its allies, Libya and Egypt, an exercise in modern demographic warfare via community organizing.Putin saw Obama coming and seized the Crimea and Eastern Ukraine to prevent Muslim refugees from entering Russia, and aided Syria, and Iran...stopping Obama short for the embarrassing sophomore that he was.

The masses of refugees created by Obama and Clinton streamed into Western Europe, crossing the Mediterranean, sliding into Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia, and beyond. Brussels and the EU played their politically correct cards, accepting the demographic warfare fomented by Obama, who even now continues to hoodwink Europe and the EU, assuring them that their world will not fall apart as the Muslim hordes continue to descend on Germany. Europe is losing itself.

Trump is right, Brexit is right. Its a new world. And Shinzo Abe is right.

And we all now see Obama defined as the Utopian liberal fascist that he is, who convinced Europe that he was not just another shuck and jive politician, once again Europe believed in a Utopia, just as they had accepted the Utopias of Hitler and Mussolini. Hoodwinked yet again by an American presidential psychopomp, whose similarities to his European predecessor utopians went completely unnoticed, even when they were complicit in the illegal destruction of Libya , and destroyed the 8th wonder of the world, The Great Man Made River, genocide caused by destroying the water supply of a whole people.You won’t read about that in any liberal progressive rag. The EU should be ashamed of itself.It certainly does not deserve to continue.

If the EU does not take the opportunity afforded by Trump to repudiate Obama, they will become Muslim nations, or become the conquered of Russia. The EU has only a short amount of time to realize its foolishness in the destruction of Libya at the hands of utopian liberal fascism, a whole nation destroyed by the very political correctness which now threatens the destruction of Europe as we know it.

Merkel must go. Lepin must win France. Its all about to begin: the battle for the heart and soul of Europe. Britain is safe,only for the moment.

Brussels is done, but Europe? We shall see.America will yet again attempt to rescue Europe from itself.But there is little enthusiasm for it after what Europe and Obama did to Libya, an act of infamy which will go down in history as one of the most heinous acts ever perpetrated on a third world nation of camel herders by the so called civilized nations of NATO. SHAME!

Obama is running around Europe like a one armed paper hanger as his international grift falls completely apart.Trump and his allies know perfectly well what to do next. The effects of Arab Spring on Europe must be stopped.No more demographic warfare will be allowed.The Saudis will pay for the relocation of the refugees created by Obama, or they will sit by and watch them die. This is the true Obama legacy.

Meanwhile Japan under Shinzo Abe gets it, Europe excluding Britain does not.

The Sheriff is back in town.And his name is legion. Trump!

This is a good apopemptic reminder to the Democrats on racism & white privilege:

Apparently Republicans didn’t have the monopoly.

The weeping and wailing
Of liberals is just a fitting
Apopemptic for Obama-
Who is guilty of splitting

The people of the country
With his words and actions-
Elites and working people
Into two separate factions

Elites feed the Roman mob
But that may not serve well
As Pres Trump escorts them
To the door right into hell...

I got home from work, turned on Fox to see what is going down in the hearings-and saw a video bit of batsh** crazy Patty Murray making an absolute fool of herself-demanding that nominee Dr. Price promise to give certain people-poor women, this or that ethnic group, etc-more “healthcare rights” than others-not taking her bait, he kept answering that he would treat ALL Americans the same-polite, but from the look on his face and the tone of his voice he probably wanted to say you stupid bitch, you should listen to what you are saying...

She also tried to make a case for financial wrongdoing, but got shot down very bluntly-I always wonder what kind of people vote for idiots like her to represent them...

My company sells Hectic Eclectic Apopemptic Septic tanks.

And this is a very good thing.

Confusus say, “Those who sit on eclectic septic tank dispose of many things, butt those who use electric septic tank get shocking reception at end. “
