Sterilizing Our "Rhetoric"
The Looking Spoon ^ | 1-11-11 | Jared H. McAndersen

Posted on 01/11/2011 7:52:11 PM PST by The Looking Spoon

If the left wants to ban rhetoric and sayings that are kind of tangentially but not really is offensive and dangerous, like put targets on a map (something they've also done but in a totally irrelevant way) then EVERYTHING should be on the table...

Target - Retail superstore my foot, that place is a country club for assassins.

Kill two birds with one stone - this one is to please PETA, besides its more efficient to say "thats efficient," so banning this kills two birds with one stone.

French fries - Someone might nuke France, lets call it something like "potato fingers"....no, that would encourage cannibalism...how about spud buddies...too fun, kids will like that, which means Michelle wont...OH! I got it!!! We'll just ban them.

Egg beaters - "Planned Parenthood" says the proper terminology is "choice," thanks.

Hope - It rhymes with rope. Why do you want to associate rope with a black man? Racist...

Hanging out - WHAT DID I JUST SAY ABOUT ROPES?!?

Bullet train - don't ask me if calling it that is more or less dangerous than a Hummer with a leaky fuel line...God's existence is easier to prove.

Teleprompters - I can't have fancy gadgets like the president to help me find the words to describe how I feel, guess I have to use my fists.

YOU LIE! - The person who says this is obviously telling saying to go find a coffin.

S**t faced - If thats not racist against minorities then why don't white people get "bird-s**t faced?"

High on life - Not without prescription we can tax pal

Hotter than Hell - Not to atheists

Wife beater - Why do you want to make Barney Frank feel left out?...Homophobe.

Club Med -  is not a euphemism for what ObamaCare is doing to medicine

Killin' time - Don't you dare accuse the Obama Administration of murder!

Soda jerk - there is no reason to name call just because Michelle Obama wants children to be healthy ...

Mailman - Biden thinks this is sexist, and the women who do this work should be called Femailmen.

Heart attack - liberals think that's Cheney's weapon of choice when he's not hunting

Targeted tax cuts - If we can't put targets on maps then how dare we put them on liberals' beloved taxes?

Liberals and media supporters focus blame for the Arizona shootings on Sharron Angle, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Tea Party movement, and conservatives in general. This penchant to find value in the tragedy looks to the report Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment for relevant logics. True, relevance with many diminished as veterans forced withdrawal based on repeated association of Timothy McVeigh with their comrades.

However, Janet Napolitano provided other guidance for liberals to identify potential rightwing terrorist recruits. “Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, ….. that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely”. Of course with such compelling, authoritative logic, those noted above must be responsible.

Conservatives have the temerity to vehemently proclaim the Constitution requires a limited Federal government. For those intent on criminalizing policy disputes, proclaiming a limited government hedged in by a Preamble exalting human freedom, and a Bill of Rights demanding human freedom, must actually be vitriol and not vehemence.

Of course, one must never look left to find the true examples of dangerous rhetoric and hate speech as exampled by these searches on Google.

How to Assassinate George Bush

Facebook: Kill Sarah Palin

Facebook: I hate it when I wake up and Sarah Palin is still alive

However, I doubt this information would be of value to a true believer. Those who search the editorial page of the NYT or their local paper for moral authority as to what constitutes heightened political rhetoric have little chance to ever connect with reality.

They are going to quit this drivel shortly so they can rush out their prepared line up of people with health insurance problems prior to the health care repeal. They had to put it on hold this week. It is going to be Sob Story City in the MSM next week and all this will be forgotten. Obama is giving a speech and they are planning their gushing and swooning skills for it. That will end the Vitriol propaganda because it flopped.

Yeah.. I am thinking we will no longer be able to converse with liberals as we will have to stop them mid sentence and correct them every time we hear something they should not have said. I say 3 times in one sentence might cure them of their desire to control our speech. We need to get really sickening about this to the point that they wish they had never brought it up.

Good Lord - this is 1984. They had the movie on the tellie a few weeks ago. I hadn’t ever seen it before, but I had read the book in high school. The main character’s job was to edit articles and rewrite them in regime-approved “new speak.” Words disappeared from the vocabulary altogether, words were given new definitions. The name of the opponent country in the ever ongoing national war were changed and history rewritten. The people were expected to accept whatever the regime set out as their reality from day to day. Everything was controlled. How prophetic Huxley was. We are almost there.

I don't know that idea will be the next theater they try to sell. It could be a lead into another gun control performance. I personally believe they will use this event as a prop in every way liberals can possibly imagine. When your primary source of moral authority is NYT editorials there is not much room for other than cynical ideas. I get the image of Fred Astaire dancing with the hat rack. Just type Fred Astaire hat rack if you are not familiar with the image. The performance is amazing and no CG.
