(Howie) Carr: New Dem glossary (excellent read alert)
Boston Herald ^ | April 3, 2016 | Howie Carr

Posted on 04/03/2016 5:13:10 AM PDT by Zakeet

It's very difficult, keeping up with the ever-changing PC permutations of the language. We all understand that what was once global cooling and then global warming is now just plain climate change. And that when Democrats pander to the "working class," they really mean the "non-working class."

With these people, every day is 1984 and they're the Ministry of Truth. Obamacare is the Affordable Care Act - and it's unaffordable. And when your income-tax return is docked because you couldn't afford affordable care, it's not a fine, it's a "shared responsibility tax."

How about the word "settled"? Settled science is in fact religion, and any researcher who dares dissent from the various cults' orthodoxies will lose his research grant and any chance for tenure, and eventually may even be prosecuted. (Ask Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse.)

Settled law means anything the moonbats agree with. Five seconds after the Supreme Court overturned the eternal definition of marriage, the gays were calling it "settled law."

But if this same crowd doesn’t like a law, they tell us the Constitution is a "living document," by which they mean they want to get rid of some of the Bill of Rights, starting with the Second Amendment. After 230 years, it should be replaced with "common-sense gun laws," common sense being decided by the same people who gave you Obamacare and Fast and Furious.

How about "means-testing"? This scheme involves taking away the Social Security of people who paid into the system, in order to provide more welfare for people who didn't. After all, you have to pay your "fair share," and the other guy's too, and his girlfriend's.

Then there is right to life.

Does a living Queer have any more right to life than his sister who was murdered by a late term abortion?

The last paragraph is trenchant: leftists have so poisoned commerce and the most basic human interaction that business owners must rely on robots to avoid pickets, demonization and being held to ransom by government.

"A new PC phrase: “That’s not who we are.” That means, we must not enforce the immigration laws against the nation’s current dependents and future Democrats. We need “comprehensive immigration reform” — open borders, at least for anyone not willing to learn English or get a job."

Excellent

Pro-abortionists will holler and scream at women who smoke or abuse their bodies in other ways while they're pregnant.

But if the same woman who smokes during pregnancy decides to get an abortion, well then that's perfectly fine. Remember..... "IT'S HER BODY!!!" the abortionists shout and scream at every opportunity.

Except when she's smoking or doing drugs. But what do pro-aborts care about pregnant women smoking or doing drugs since, according to them, it's just a blob of tissue?

Trying to keep up with lib "logic" can be exhausting.

‘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.’
‘The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’
‘The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.’

It’s common practice used by the media all the time, Alice.

I always thought Humpty Dumpty was sort of an empty shell but here he is quoting The Caterpillar!

Imagine applying the “settled law” and “living document” arguments to slavery; it was settled law, and now it may be legalized again?

This could NEVER have been printed 5 years ago... maybe we are winning....

Common-sense gun laws: placing defenseless citizens at the mercy of armed criminals.

The criminal class IS overwhelmingly Democrat.

'Common sense gun laws' are a gift to criminals. Every four years Democrats make political appeals to the thugs - promising to assist them with disarming their victims.

I see a book here... "The Ministry of Truth Guide for Politically Correct Citizens"

I know that it’s been going on forever, but nevertheless, I would still like to know: Who in Hades put the Left in charge of the Merriam-Webster Dictionary?

There’s a website game called “B/S Bingo” wherein you have a grid of catchwords. At a meeting, when you hear one of them, you mark it. When you have filled a horizontal or vertical row, you stand up and yell “B/S!”.

You can do the same with those that Howie has mentioned as well as any others you may run across.

Too bad someone wouldn’t take one of these Bingo sheets to Congress or when obama speaks, and start marking off the boxes.

Washington got huffy when a Congressman yelled at obama “You Lie!” – wonder what they’d do with “B/S!”? :-)
