Words Mean Whatever the Left Decides They Mean

The only “wrongs”, to the left, are Christianity (but not the violent Islam), parental rights, licentiousness mistaken for freedom, law-abiding citizens having the right to defend themselves and their families against criminals, and the right to be left the hell alone. Leftists can’t stand themselves if they’re not interfering with he way oher people choose to live, except to force us all to “celebrate” sodomites and trannies.

Transgender, Gay Groups Say Federal Officials Should Ban Single-Sex Bathrooms in All K-12 Schools

If this doesn’t make parents pull their kids out of the state indoctrination centers, I dom’t know if anything will.

Ah, Title IX. Another piece of useless lawyer legalize that does more to pervert our Republic than strengthen it. Flowery words with little to no substance, other than to create the revolving-door of judicial activism (depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is). Just a way for the Left to shoehorn their ideals where they are unwanted and unwarranted.

Today "sex" can even mean "sexual orientation," which is almost always code for sexual conduct. It was not interpreted this way until 2016 when a Clinton-appointed federal judge put a new spin on a 44-year old law. Now Title IX is being treated as if it axiomatically applies to "sexual orientation." In time people will forget that there was ever a time that it didn't. Title IX was supposed to be a women's rights bill but it became a "gay" "rights" bill, then a "trans" "rights" bill because judges decreed it to be so.

This should be a warning to legislators to stipulate definition of terms and limits to overinterpretation of those terms in the writing of each bill. Terms are a part of most business deals for precisely these reasons -- to prevent a future distortion of meaning or limits.

I say, refuse to surrender on the language. When you adopt the enemy’s vocabulary, you have already half surrendered. I call them homosexuals, cross-dressers, perverts, etc.

Yes.

Let's insist on some honesty in advertising !!!

Kidding aside, along with redefining history, abuse of the language is one of the most effective tools American leftists have employed to implement their agenda.

They don't only believe they can can use word redefinition to influence opinion, they believe they can actually alter and remove from our culture entire beliefs, ideas, even facts.

To an alarming extent, they have succeeded.

They stigmatize some words or meanings and co-opt others to soften the impact of their noxious ideas to make them sound neutral, non-threatening and even positive and appealing:

"Gay" instead of sodomite or homosexual.

Abortion isn't abortion to them - it's "women's health care".

Illegal aliens became "undocumented people" - or is it visitors?

Young illegal aliens became "Dreamers".

Those who push their sexual perversity on us are called "courageous".

A homosexual or transsexual who forces his perversion on a business, religions and others a "hero".

A tax cut reducing the money government extorts from us becomes unaffordable government "spending".

And on and on.....
