Words: Stopping language manipulation


dubs

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

sorry but, no. Nancy's quest is not an impeachment. hell it is not even supported by the majority of the House. if it was, she would have them go on record and vote to approve of a real investigation.

There has never been a more justified impeachment than this one.


Is there an impeachment going on!?  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. Everyone, not just the socialists/globalists/communists.

This is the one I hate and usually laugh at. 

 

"I have dedicated my life to public service." -- Bill Clinton. 

 

More like he dedicated his life to being serviced by the public.

 

Women's Health Care - Abortion. The leading cause of death for women is heart disease yet it is never mentioned as part of "Women's Health Care."
