Leftists control the language.

Leftists control the language.

Only to the extent we let them.

Those who define the terms generally win the arguments.

Leftists control the language.

That's not all they control. Our side really pretty much sucks.
We let the Left take over the education system, from elementary through graduate programs (save for a few individual teachers in any school building).
We let the Left take over the mass media, from news to movies to sitcoms (save for a handful of AM radio programs).
We let the Left take over every level of every Federal Department and Administration and Agency. (Dem presidents fire almost every leftover from a GOP administration, but the GOP winners rarely do the same.)
We let the Left take over the highest levels of the military, so that career politicians are the vast majority of flag officers.
We let the Left further destroy our military by making it a feel-good jobs program, and a disaster relief program, when it's sole proper purpose is to show (and sometimes use) the ability to destroy an opponent's will to fight against us.
We let the Left take over the language of public debate, and even down to the colors of "red state vs blue state" charts.
We let the Left blame us for EVERY one of their major disasters (eg, the Housing Bubble - Barney Frank said "We want to roll the dice", costing the globe $10 Trillion, when he was told that forcing banks to give loans to the underqualified would cause a bubble). "Bush's fault" is our tired old joke, but only the right-most 5% of the voting public realize that it is humor. The LIVs all seem to take it to heart.
We let the Left get away with massive vote fraud, because they'll call us racists for wanting to ensure that the voter rolls are accurate, and that voters show ID at the polls.
We let the Left get away with massive amounts of Justice system failures, pretending that incarceration rates that don't follow proper racial percentages is a clear proof of institutional racism (never once allowing that though that the races actually commit crimes at an unequal rate). If we don't, then they might call us racists.
We let the Left get away with one-sided application of the use of Hate Crime prosecution, as if Blacks are incapable of (or should not be punished for acting on) the emotion of Hatred. If we say otherwise, we are racists.
We let the Left force all Americans to pay for abortions, even though a large percentage of the population find it to be the most morally reprehensible thing in the world, and against their religious faith (yet we give exemptions and passes to non-Christian faiths for things like ObamaCare and being taught in schools).
We let the Left attack the foundations and Sacraments of Christianity like marriage, while allowing them to protect the Sacraments of other faiths.
We let the Left block or slow or delay our production of energy at every turn, even though cheap abundant energy is the best path towards wealth and safety for all.
We let the Left attack Capitalism itself, despite the very clear history that government economic planning and Socialism are policies of slow decay and failure, and we let them say that "Capitalism fails" when it is actually their hundreds of roadblocks to our capitalism that cause virtually all of the problems and issues.
We let the Left pick our presidential candidates, and then complain that we cannot beat even weak contenders like Obama, and can barely beat incompetent candidates like Gore.
We let the Left demonize every one of our good potential candidates, as well as all of our historical heroes, while allowing them to celebrate the most flawed and depraved celebrities and leaders, without one hint of hypocrisy.
We let the Left lie so blatantly, with such chutzpah and impugnity, that lines like "pass it to see what's in it" and "you can keep your healthcare" and "what difference does it make" and "most transparent administration" and " man-made climeate change" (the majority still think it's real, folks), are not daily headlines.
We let the Left run scandal over scandal over scandal, without daily headlines or riots or arrests or repercussions, like Banghazi, IRS bullying, Fast and Furious, ObamaCare lies, institutional racism in banking laws, institutional racism in the Justice Dept, planned failures, etc etc etc

I could go on, but the list is aleady long (feel free to add to it), it's late, and the tryptophan is still flowing through my veins. These are OUR failures, people... OUR fault for not being able to stop their runaway train... and our children and grandchildren are about to pay some heavy prices and bears some horrible burdens for our failures.

Honestly, I'm almost to a point where I want to "go Galt" on the Right, because we haven't been able to post any significant gains in any of these areas for years. The institutions are all against us, and there's little hope on the horizon for making any headway, even just inside the damn national Republican leadership! We all know Alinsky's playbook, and we all know they are using it daily, and we cannot seem to stop them on a single play! It's really getting demoralizing.
