second paragraph-

-Often, yours truly has expounded
-an artful euphemism
-facilitates lying by eliding the need for
-it is a boon to propagandists
-harp on a “narrative” ad nauseum
-the purveyor of the lie seeks.

It rolls on like this throughout the piece.
I understand all the words- No biggie.
And yes, they make sense.

But collectively it’s pretentious- and distracting from the central point: The powerful exploiting Idiocricy.

Does Thaddeus write and speak like this all the time?
Or is this just an exercise is Thesaurusy?
How’s that for a made up word?

Dr. Jordan Peterson has said that the most baffling aspect of leftism is the bizarre affinity radical feminists have for radical Islam.

Islam is useful toward leftist ends of "bring it all down," but the reasoning ends there. As to the outcomes, the blurry visions of its useful idiots of 'a future without white guys,' they have faith, or "think" that once they are done with Christendom and its relicts, they can use their historic tools of psychology in public education to tame Islam. But they've never dealt with a people who pray five times a day, myelinating nerve axons in the hippocampus into hard-wired evil (not to mention that they don't dare, cowardly bullies being what they are). Islam will chew up the left and spit it out, per plan.

Where it goes from there is explained in an obscure book, To Eliminate the Opiate, by Orthodox Rabbi, Marvin Antelman.

Of course I could provide the historic details that tie all that together, but you'll have to wait for my next book. :-)

The idiocy is thinking you can negotiate with these people.

How about “Thesaurcery,” as in making magic with words.

Leftists like to claim that everything is complicated to make themselves feel smarter, and “you’re just a stupid redneck who is incapable of understanding the issue(s).”

Hey Thad...by “The Left” do you mean Individuals who lie and trend toward totalitarianism? Identify those individuals and their words and deeds. Identify the anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-American collectives that they work with.

I find that much of liberalism is based on the desire to be popular and to hang out with the "cool kids". They want to be thought of as smart and good so the believe whatever the media tells them is the fashionable way to think. It's easy to follow the herd and not question what you are being told. As such they are easy to manipulate.

There comes a time when you have to rule-out idiocy and admit that something is “evil.” You can’t rationalize evil. It just is. I don’t know how much more evil this country can stand but can you imagine how evil things were before the flood? Nice try MR. McCotter!

I have watched many of the”People on the Street” being asked questions & the illiteracy it shows up is amazing. Some of these folks are apparently college educated. I only have a high school education(from bygone days)& I surely see what they don’t. It is pretty unsettling to imagine what our nation seems to be coming to.

Right, ‘sick’ as in wholly alienated, disaffected and some of the most dangerous misfits in our society!

Of course, the DNC and the ‘media’ LOVE them. Pandering to this crowd crowd of idiots and getting THEIR vote is like beating your 80 year old grandmother at ice hockey.

The Left is less a political movement than a neurotic clown collective arrogantly spouting toxic imbecility.

Downgraded from an "Insane Clown Posse"?
