FRee Dictionary ^ | Thursday | tioga

Posted on 12/03/2015 5:13:58 AM PST by tioga


In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".

Compunction

Noun

    1. A strong uneasiness caused by a sense of guilt: stole the money without compunction.
    2. A sting of conscience or a pang of doubt aroused by wrongdoing or the prospect of wrongdoing: "commercial speculators and hired politicians who had no compunction about pillaging their country for personal gain" (Leo Damrosch).


Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.

The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.

The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)

Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Obama wouldn’t know compunction if it bit him in the tuckus.

Leftists are incapable of compunction - especially when issuing death threats on social media.

Narrative is developing.....shooter went to Saudi Arabia and married bring bride back to U.S., grew a beard and went on a full on radical killing spree. Can we say Islamic Terrorism? NO, still in denial and pining for gun control. I wonder if someone said Merry Christmas to this jihadi nutcake. Then, like a coddled college student it set him off. Or perhaps he was offended by the Christmas decorations that were apparently the setting he chose.

I’m sure it’s all our fault for not being welcoming enough to foreigners.

The room was decorated for Christmas...he chose the setting. Says something right there. And being who I am is not my fault, no matter how many times the left says it is. I will never change.

A++++ I don’t kneel much, my surgeon told me not to after my knee replacement. Can’t run either. Lot’s I can’t do, but apparently PopeFrank can. During mass he does not kneel before Jesus? I only saw that once with an older priest who did reverently bow.

The left lies, devoid of compunction
To further their ends is their function
Create lies and mystery
About our great history
Prep America’s tale for *expunction

*deletion by an act of expunging or erasing

As we prepare for Holy Confession during the Nativity Fast, we admit in our prayers that we have no proper compunction, and cry to God for healing.

The Left, led by the corrupt Lier-In-Chief, has a strong compunction to avoid calling Islamic Terrorists Islamic Terrorists!
