“Sorry”
Why I think I'll not tune them in anymore ~ as if I ever did.
So much for the value of their "edumacations". I despise elitists ~ they are so smarmy.
funny a lib penning an article about how Republicans are changing the lexicon when her ilk are masters at doing so
Say what you will about the Democrat Party’s politics, but one thing I think we all can agree on is that they know how to control the message.
Instead of “lazy welfare recipient,” they say “under-priveldged”
Instead of “illegal alien,” they prefer “undocumented worker.”
Instead of “terrorism”, they say “man made disaster”
Instead of....well you get the gist.
“Say what you will about the Republican Party’s politics, but one thing I think we all can agree on is that they know how to control the message.”
Democrats and Obama Negros are even more succinct in their choice of words:
“Whites are Racists”
end of discussion.
If some one writes an article dealing with language, you think they would be on top of it enough to know that Houdini was an escape artist, not a conjurer, as the article implies. (infers? I always forget...)
Instead of “the rich,” they prefer “job creators.””
Educated and elitist are two totally different things. Only liberals confuse them. Educated people have knowledge and ability that enables them be productive and to understand intellectual topics. Elitists are people who through academic, political or family connections are able to hold important positions that they have not achieved through merit and who think they are smarter and better than others.
Rich and job creators are also different. Only liberals confuse them. There are plenty of rich people like the Kennedys, John Kerry etc who contribute nothing to our society. Job creators are people who are willing to work hard and take risks to create products and services that benefit our society. They are sometimes successful and sometimes they hope and strive to be successful.
Instead of “CNN journalist”, we prefer the more honest term: propagandist.
Wow. Someone dunber than Krugman on the NYT's payroll. I didn't think it was possible but, there you go...
The left have been using language to support their causes for ever so long, not just language but specially designed language to make the message more subtle and acceptable and positive to their cause. They are experts at this game. When things don’t work out with the words they use they change the words. Instead of liberal Democrats they now ant to be known as Progressives. I recall a few years back they used the words scheme and plan to describe the difference between them and the republicans. They had a “plan” the Republicans had a “scheme” They have used the language this way as long as I can remember. If the message doesn’t resonate one way, change the language but the message doesn’t change.
Nice little exercise in Liberal Projection here. The simple fact is that it is the left, not the right that mangles, manipulates, and misappropriates the English language for nefarious purposes. And Øbongo has zero hesitation in saying anything that he believes will aid his attempts to impose his will upon the American public.
CNN, where poor unwilling travelers at airports comprise 99% of their audience.
Lewis Carroll nailed the Liberals - oops, I mean “Progressives”.
‘When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.’
Somehow the writer thinks that it is the republican’s fault that Obama chose not to use the word stimulus? Are the republicans controlling of his teleprompter? If the stimulus had worked, then Obama would be saying the word over and over.
What is he going to say? My stimulus plan increased unemployment! My stimulus plan kept the stock market from gaining value. My stimulus plan raised the price of a gallon of gas. My stimulus plan put millions of dollars into my re-election fund. My stimulus plan failed to create green jobs. My stimulus plan raised the cost of food. My stimulus plan caused democrats to lose the 2010 election. My stimulus plan raised the national debt by a trillion dollars. Congress needs to pass another stimulus bill!
It’s Obama’s fault that that he can no longer use the word stimulus because Americans now know what it means.
How about “Socialism” or “Marxism”?
He WANTS that, he just won’t SAY it.
As opposed to all those poor job creators.
Actually, the more acurate term for “stimulus” is actually three words: “political slush fund”.
