Don't Let Progressives Control the Language of the National Debate
American Thinker ^ | 1 Mar, 2021 | Andrew W. Coy

When two opposing forces are locked in battle, it is of the utmost importance not to let one side be the decider of the rules of engagement. It is a crucial error to let one side decide what weapons are used, what land is fought over, and what language is used. It is an obvious error to allow one's enemy to decide the language. On this point, Patriots conservatives/constitutionalists/Christians) cannot allow the Progressives (Deep State/socialists/globalists) to decide the language we use in our battle for America. In particular, we cannot allow them to decide who is extreme and who is not. The Progressives are the extremists.

– Progressives are the extremists when it comes to immigration. Progressives want an open border; they are allowing illegals in without criminal checks and COVID testing. A country without borders will not be a sovereign country much longer. Maybe that is the Globalists' intent.

– Progressives are the extremists when it comes to abortion. Progressives would allow abortion at any time of the pregnancy and even after the birth, which is infanticide. And the Progressives see no problem with selling aborted baby parts — extremely wrong and extremely disturbing.

– Progressives are the extremists when it comes to the "Digital Kristallnacht" that took place during and after the 2020 election. Deep State authorities stood by and did nothing while Big Tech canceled millions of Americans' First Amendment rights of speech, opinion, and association.

Re: Don’t Let Progressives Control the Language of the National Debate

I don’t even acknowledge the title “progressives”. Because the only thing ‘progressive’ about their agenda and goals for America is to progressively(increasingly) take it down to its knees. They do not have the country’s best interests at heart.

They sure are full of hate and desire to tear everything down. Socialists always ruin economies.

Exactly

Let’s start with their redefining of words like

Gender

It is a grammatical term

Not a biological term.

We need to correct the beserkers at every opportunity

To quote the departed Rush:

“Words mean things”

He often warned of the Left taking control of the language. Sadly - they have.

"Don't Let Progressives Control the Language of the National Debate"

Gee, Andrew, based on that title for this article they are certainly controlling you (and your AT colleagues)...

An "uncontrolled" or "non-controlled" title would have read:
"Don't Let Communists Control the Language of the National Debate"

Unfortunately, writing for a deep-state publication does impose restrictions on accuracy in reporting or editorializing...
