Over the weekend, Jim Hoft, the founder of a popular conservative web site, used the phrase “assigned male at birth” in a story about a 17-year-old boy pretending to be a girl who then beat the hell out of a real girl in the girls’ room at school. Oh come on. Stop it. The phrase is loaded communist doubletalk that undermines a belief in God, rationalizes the lefty abortion and accepts the very concept that a man can will himself into being a woman. I try not to speak stupid lies and try to speak the truth. (Pats himself on the back.)
Food for thought. The Bible says "Nothing is impossible with God." The thing is, liberals don't believe in God and that is why they are all so angry ALL the time.
Exactly. Based on Don's logic (fully endorsed), I'll call it a Satanic Mutilation Operation. No point in pulling punches. More people need to be aware that we're in a Good vs. Evil fight. Part of the Lefties' mutilation of language is to shade everything into the gray of moral relativism. That's a wooly operation, so they can pull it over the eyes of more sheeple.
Hmmmm, now there's a phrase they'd love to twist. What would Lefties call "moral relativism" to make it more palatable to the sheeple?
The phrase that gets my goat, and one Don seems to have forgotten, is "hate speech." there's no such thing. There is just speech libs don't like and, apparently, can't argue coherently against. "Hate speech" is just an attempt to prevent speech from an opposing viewpoint.
They are replacing equality with equity for the same reason they capitalize black.
I say:
By using the term 'Equity' That means they are putting some type of value on a life JUST AS THE NAZIS DID BEFORE AND DURING WWII. If you truly want to drive a liberal crazy, just remind them that Hitler was really a liberal.
But I don't want to drive liberals crazy, I want to drive them sane! My experience is that telling them the truth only reinforces their attachment to untruth. I haven't figured out exactly what to do to drive them in the opposite direction (at least in a generic sense).
Noble aspiration David, but I’d rather drive them over a high cliff.
As you’ve experienced, there is nothing short of a full-on INTERVENTION which will set them straight, so to speak. If you could reason with leftists, there wouldn’t BE any leftists.
Especially against climate stuff and using EVs to help. I talked to a cousin about the EVs and how the electric batteries needed all sorts of rare minerals that were now being mined by kids in Africa. And how there is not enough land in the US to switch to Wind/Solar. Now she just doesnt talk about that around me but she is still die hard, SAVE THE CLIMATE.
I think it is a bit late to worry about what makes them crazy. Even the worst sociopath wants and needs to hear the truth. Just look at Elizabeth Holmes or Sam Bankman-Fried.
Two days ago there was a rather large headline in the Washington Compost about him. Nothing really to report, so I suspect his attorneys are stalling until AFTER the 2024 election.
The God of Truth is a gentleman. To those people who want to believe only lies God sends them a strong delusion so they are blinded to the Truth. They have rejected reason for madness and follow the father of lies.
Prayer and the working of the Holy Spirit in their lives is their only hope.
".......just remind them that Hitler was really a liberal."
Except that they will simply refuse to believe you, much like they refuse to believe that this democrat party is still the same segregationist racist one for whom the KKK were foot-soldiers.
Picture a two year old with his fingers in his ears, eyes closed, violently shaking his head while repeating moronically "nanananansna".
You will find that liberalism and socialism are pretty much the same thing. That's like asking what the difference was between Stalin and Hitler. Not much, to include cradle to grave "FREE" government care.
The problem is that we are calling the left liberals, bastardizing the original meaning of the word. An example: Both Ron Paul and his father would be considered liberals in the once commonly understood definition of the word. Pretty sure that nobody would confuse them with leftists. But today liberals=leftists.
Just one more example of the ubiquitous misuse of the English language by the left/democrats/media.
If the gap between democrats and republicans is a mile, the gap between communists and nazis is an eighth of an inch. (The gap between liberals and the commies is measured in milimicrons. In fact, if they were any closer they'd share the same brain cell.
there is virtually NO distinction imo between Dems and GOPe, aka establishment Republicans.
But there is a galaxy separating Dems / RINOs /GOPe / Republicans from America First CONSERVATIVES.
Win or lose in 2024, I hope Trump establishes a whole new party with the mascot of a lion ( instead of the donkey or elephant) and brands it the FREEDOM party.
I completely agree. The RINO GOPe sellout criminals we have in Washington in no way represent conservatives. Thats why so many people call them the uniparty.
We have the socialized medicine movement in Oregon . I just had a couple of stents put in heart is good otherwise. Glad it was caught before there was a waiting list.
I've said many times that the reason nationalist socialism is considered right wing is because it is to the right of communism. If democrats and republicans are philosophically a mile apart, communists and nazis are less than an eighth of an inch. So, from the perspective of the enimedia, nazis are right wing. Give them a few more years and Stalin Lenin and Mao will also be conservatives.
You wrote the TRUTH Man from Poca! Amen to that! Leftists are Godphobic. Truthphobic. Americaphobic. Federalism phobic. Lovephobic. Childphobic. They are pathologic and narcissistic. Beware of their language. It’s all lies.
The left is just using the tactics first established by the Uniparty to make profit-driven wars more palatable by using euphemisms. I remember when civilian casualties during the first Iraq war became "collateral damage." Then there was "spreading democracy," which is more accurately described as imperialism to make military industrial companies wealthy. And finally there were "enhanced interrogation techniques," which would be, well, torture.
And like every good "science," it starts out with a military application and then finds domestic uses.
Yes. But it started way before that. Politically correct speech, including he term “politically correct” is a Soviet concept dating back to the early twentieth century.
I would put it as an authoritarian or totalitarian concept (and, yes, the Soviet Union was an authoritarian state, if not a totalitarian one). Totalitarian societies, especially, only survive if they can control language.
But the idea of controlling language is very old. You can't think about what you don't have the appropriate words for, and even if you do manage to overcome that step, it's virtually impossible to communicate the ideas.
A great, important piece, Don. You and I served when communism was in the fore. This alphabet crap is the modern version of it; they couldn't breech the class warfare wall due to our class mobility, so now they are 'critical theory' on every facet of our lives.
The goal is the destruction of our family unit. DO NOT TAKE ANY SHIT FROM ANY OF THEM.
God bless the Americans of Armenian descent in Glendale Cali!
It’s always bugged my ass that we have lost so many usable, decent English words and phrases that were never originally utilized for the purpose, to describe these jerks.
‘F’ that.
I like the words my parents used. We can even give them a choice. ‘Queer’, or my personal Fav, a ‘3 Dollar Bill’.
Here in Canada we (as kids) used to call them Gearboxes because as unsophisticated as we were back then we used to group the entire GLBT@#%&* tribe under the Tranny Label and everybody knew that a Tranny, being short for Transmission was a …wait for it…’Gearbox”
It is eye-opening to read through the long list of examples in the article. Satan (the Leftists are his minions) is destroying every institution and moral value that holds this great nation together. Changing the lexicon imperceptibly erodes our attitudes and beliefs toward the things to which all those new "phrases" refer. Don is right - don't use them! Each one is a slow, deliberate erasure of the foundations of our creation. Never forget how cocky Obama was the day he said, "I have a pen and a phone". Words matter.
We say this in our groups all the time: Don't play the word game with the left. (We use the global warming, climate change, and the Illegal Alien/migrant examples the most) Not only for the reasons Don has like giving it value or credence; but also because they use this to confuse you and to train you to be on the defensive bc if you say one of their new words wrong they can say you are out of touch and a bigot/ist/obe, etc..
Always stay true to the original word/meaning so you can stay on track and not get sidelined trying to fight a definition vs fighting the actual issue and perpetrators
And remember that one can state a principle in 10 words or less. If you can’t state the principle - no genital mutilation - it’s just smoke in the conversation.
OY! Don! You (deliberately?) left out the yuuuugest example of double-speak and that is your use of the word “liberal” when we both know that they could not be more ILliberal!!
Never call a Democrat “Democratic” ( as in ‘a Democratic politician/policy/event’ etc) and NEVER call a leftist a “liberal”!
WE (many/ most of us?) ARE LIBERALS, as in “classical liberals”, as in adherents to the Bill of Rights.
THEY are fascist bullies and tyrants in search of those they are able to subjugate.
One of my pet peeves is most media refers to the “democratic” party instead of the DEMOCRAT party. Truth is both parties would lay claim to the adjective of being “democratic” but only one would claim the moniker of democrat. Words matter.
Once again, the cat is shrewd - the only real option is #4 - though, for ranchers whose land borders where illegals cross, the option of, Dead, ought to be available.
"Always keep in mind that the devil’s greatest trick is not in making people believe he doesn’t exist, but in making people believe God doesn’t."

"Hoft is a good guy and I hesitated naming him but the truth is the truth."
You did good, Don. If we let our own be seduced by and give in to the temptation of using newspeak, we've lost. If we play by their rules, we're finished - but if we play by our rules, we have a better than even chance of winning.
"Words are powerful. Lefties use language to play the long game."
Indeed they do. Why do you suppose they continue to change definitions whenever it suits their ends? Nowhere was this more subtle and destructive than in the 1970s sitcoms that featured divorced and single mothers to broaden the definition of, and eventually re-define, 'family.' The remainder of your article illustrates it, perfectly.
"Overall, avoid using any word that ends in phobic, except to mock the hell out of a liberal."
Brilliant.
"Even a legend like Hoft can slip because liberals are good at the traps they set."
“sex-change operation” is also an impossibility
Go back to gentian mutilation.
Food for thought. The Bible says "Nothing is impossible with God." The thing is, liberals don't believe in God and that is why they are all so angry ALL the time.
Exactly. Based on Don's logic (fully endorsed), I'll call it a Satanic Mutilation Operation. No point in pulling punches. More people need to be aware that we're in a Good vs. Evil fight.

Hmmmm, now there's a phrase they'd love to twist. What would Lefties call "moral relativism" to make it more palatable to the sheeple?
It's cosmetic surgery. That's all it is.
The phrase that gets my goat, and one Don seems to have forgotten, is "hate speech." there's no such thing. There is just speech libs don't like and, apparently, can't argue coherently against. "Hate speech" is just an attempt to prevent speech from an opposing viewpoint.
Then there's "hate crime." Sheesh!

I thanked God for every word in your column today. So important. It’s about reclaiming our language.
Here we go. The article said:.

I'm not sure even THAT will work.
Yeah, they would rather invest in cliff-jumping equipment than hear the truth.
Especially against climate stuff and using EVs to help. I talked to a cousin about the EVs and how the electric batteries needed all sorts of rare minerals that were now being mined by kids in Africa. And how there is not enough land in the US to switch to Wind/Solar. Now she just doesnt talk about that around me but she is still die hard, SAVE THE CLIMATE.
You can also tell your cousin how ALL “green” items badly pollute the environment -from mining ( as you noted) to disposal.
A noble goal indeed. Sadly, they are Truthphobic ;-)
I think it is a bit late to worry about what makes them crazy. Even the worst sociopath wants and needs to hear the truth. Just look at Elizabeth Holmes or Sam Bankman-Fried.
Those two don't need to hear the truth. They need to be incarcerated. Truth or consequences.
Not much out there as to S.B.F. lately?
I think the elite powers that be are expecting people to forget, and possibly even forgive. He is one of theirs after all.
Two days ago there was a rather large headline in the Washington Compost about him. Nothing really to report, so I suspect his attorneys are stalling until AFTER the 2024 election.
He served his purpose - he's no longer needed.

You get the idea.
I’m not sure by what metric Hitler could have been defined as a “liberal”.
“Socialist”, yes.
“Liberal”, not in any way I can imagine.
A lot of what he claimed was progressive dogma at the time. Eugenics for example.
Liberals in the US loved him until he attacked their St. Stalin. Classsical liberal, no: modern liberal yep.
antismoking and vegetarianism still are progressive dogma.
I forgot about the eugenics angle. You are correct.
You will find that liberalism and socialism are pretty much the same thing. That's like asking what the difference was between Stalin and Hitler. Not much, to include cradle to grave "FREE" government care.

I believe you are thinking of Ron Paul and Rand Paul, yes? I equate leftism with cowardice and dishonesty.
Then don't call those people liberals, they're not.
Somehow we need to take back the language.
If the gap between democrats and republicans is a mile, the gap between communists and nazis is an eighth of an inch. (The gap between liberals and the commies is measured in milimicrons. In fact, if they were any closer they'd share the same brain cell.

Don, with respect, it's not "sex change operation" it's sexual mutilation.
And it is sexual mutilation that DOES NOT change your biological sex.
If liberals didn’t lie, they would have nothing to say. Marcel Marceau would have spoken more than them.
In Mel Brook's forgettable Silent Movie, the only person to speak in the film was Marcel Marceau who said the word no.
The power and truth contained in this article cannot be overstated!
It behooves each and every one of us to be more than diligent in not being deceived by using the language of the Left.
Live Not by Lies!
Thank you, thank Mr. Surber!!!
