dubs Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) There are so many words/phrases that get purposely misused to shape the public’s view in favor of a political agenda. Would be great to have a list of those in question and discuss. Here’s a few: Public School: lets call this what it is, Government Schools Democracy: the United States is not a democracy, it’s a Constitutional Republic. We use the democratic process to elect, but we are not a pure democracy. Liberals = Democrat: Classic liberalism looks nothing like the current democrat party. They much more closely resemble socialists or communists. They need to be called what they are. “Elites”: I know this is used as a pejorative a lot, but the people who are elected to government office are certainly not elite. Government employees or politician is more like it. Public Service: if I hear another politician claim they’ve dedicated their life to public service it’ll be too soon. This gives some impression of sacrifice. These career politicians enrich themselves and do little to help the public.

SoCal Deek Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Agree 100%! My favorite is the over used Main Stream Media. The right (and all of their pundits) needs to stop repeating this left-inspired catch phrase and call it what it’s clearly now become Democratic Party Media. Anderson Cooper’s pathetically phrased debate question to presidential candidate Joe Biden has left zero doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keukasmallies Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Impeachment is quickly becoming my favorite language manipulation. It appears the Dems have determined that most, if not all, previous attempts to vilify Trump have either died for lack of truth, or continue to wither on the vine, so impeachment is the latest banner to be waved. Thankfully for the Dems there are no attempts on their part to actually consider the peoples' work to get in their way of "impeachment." Kudos to Sheila Jackson Lee, Nancy Pelosi and Maxine [dumber than a stone] Waters for their keen insights into the needs of the nation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I’m talking about. There’s an inquiry, but not any actual impeachment proceedings. we should be more careful about the terminology we use.

Seems to me that it was back in 2016 before Trump was even elected. That would make it a preemptive something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) This is funny, because an impeachment is a constitutional remedy to a problem. A coup is is an unconstitutional take over.

Azalin Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 "Optics" is not a synonym for "appearances". Optics is the branch of physics that studies light. "Decimate" is not synonymous with "destroy" but instead means to be reduced by one-tenth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Nunes was chair during the Mueller probe and Russia investigations, the minority had a vote on everything, including subpoenas. All sides were welcomed to partake in not only closed door hearings and testimony, but public ones as well. Schiff takes over, changes the rules (as is their right per House rules). Because when the left loses they don't reassess, they change the rules to rig the game in their favor. We're seeing that same thing play out here.

On the bright side, the whining from the Democrats will be epic when the GOP eventually retakes the House and keeps these same rules in place to exclude the minority from everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
