ABC News ^ | 1/30 | Jonathon Karl

Posted on 01/30/2015 8:23:10 AM PST by TangledUpInBlue

They act like terrorists, they regularly kill civilians like terrorists, but the White House does not consider the Afghan Taliban to be a terrorist group.

“They do carry out tactics that are akin to terrorism. They do pursue terror attacks in an effort to try to advance their agenda,” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest explained today, but “they have a different classification.”

Now, after the phone and the pen, we have the mouth.

Back in Genesis, God made things happen with his mouth.

Didn’t satan get in trouble for wanting to be like God?

So a terrorist is not, as we thought, someone who conducts terrorism. That classification is reserved for groups that are officially disliked.

According to this WH, there has never been a Muslim who ever committed an act of terrorism. Never.

These guys have gone from using Orwell’s 1984 as an instruction manual, to using the movie Idiocracy as a training video.

The Obama-Jarrett White House has made it clear, they stand with the Muslim terrorists.

And so does every major media outfit that refuses to question this position - NY Times, CNN, NBC, AP, etc. etc....

It is how these maggots survive. Create problems and trouble for Americans, then claim to be the ones to solve it...while using it to increase political power and control.

“When I use a word, it means exactly what I intend it to mean,” said Humpty Dumpty scornfully, “and nothing more.”

We’ve been down the rabbit hole with this transparent administration and our nose-in-the-air President Dumpty for over six years now.

What this administration knew from the beginning was the true lesson of 1984. Who controls the language rules. And academia has provided the means to control language. Barky and his progressive cohorts and disciples have been educated in the ways of controlling the narrative by the Modern Language Association, I believe out of Chicago, and by the writings of the French deconstructionists Jacques Darrida and Michel Foucault. I spent several semesters at Queens College School of Ed being “trained” in the use of historical deconstruction in the high school classroom and how to undermine the “narrative” of Western Civ. by undermining the existence of actual historical FACT, and demonstrating that so called facts are just part of one side’s narrative. Most students in the course, HS and JHS teachers like myself, were enthralled by this methodology. My eight years of the traditional Jesuit Ratio Studiorum gave me tools to counter the prof’s presentations to the point that the Prof, a gregarious and friendly chap named Jack Zevin, in an after class meeting said I was quite a bit more intelligent than the other students. I countered that I was not more intelligent, but being a bit older I was a helluva lot better educated.I had been taught how to think, not what to think. The whole Progressive movement has always been from Dewey forward a structure to educate the masses in what to think, To control the language. To stop rational debate by using inflammatory and pejorative terms like racist, homophobe, to silence the opposition. My fear and belief is that they have won the battle.
