A national radio host made an excellent suggestion the other day that we conservatives should pursue with vigor. The Oppressive-left loves to use simple talking point slogans to hammer their lies into the publics conscious. These simpleton lies are designed to crowd out real thought and logic of the truth.
It is about time for our side to get on board and come up with our own talking point slogans we can all use to hammer the truth into them (rhetorically speaking of course)
This posting is to advance that idea and get the ball rolling.
The technique Oppressives is basically short easy memorized phrases that tare design by them to shut down debate and put us on the defensive. As a fellow denizen of the blogosphere I’m sure you come across these little talking points all over the place.
The parameters are thus: Short phrases that pack the truth in a small space.
Example: Gun Control Kills People.
The oppressives don’t like this phrase – hence they use lying phrases like ‘Gun safety’. Well, since they don’t like the phrase ‘Gun Control’ we’ll use that – adding the point that it Kills People which it does – reference the city of Chicago.
SO, IMHO here are some ideas of my own – trash them if you want, but think about better alternatives. We are battling for our country’s future here – we need to fight fire with fire. -------------------------------------------------- Labels for the Leftists:
Let’s start with the label we use for the jackals on the other side: Oppressives or oppressive-left.
Given that the Leftists like to be the folks who get to label themselves and everyone else they’ve transitioned over to the positive moniker “Progressive” - their idea is that who could be against progress and all? We all know that is a load of barack- their ideas are thinly disguised Collectivism. But they use that label to fool people into supporting their freedom destroying agenda.
So we turn that around with the use of the term Oppressive – who could be for Oppression?
It is preferable to use the word Left and Leftist and a generic term for the other side – but DON’T use the term ‘Liberal’ – again this is just another lie from n the Left- they want nothing in terms of Liberty – the root word for ‘Liberal’.
If you prefer we can get a little more detailed and have it Oppressive-Socialists or some variation.
But I for one refuse to let those petty tyrants get away with such blatantly deceptive labels. -------------------------------------------------- Labels for their ideology:
We also need to properly label their agenda – it’s Socialism plain and simple. They try to deny it all day long but they can never seem to come up with a way of differentiating their agenda from that ideology.
Of course, all the other labels for their ideology are out as there as well: Marxism, Communism, Fascism, Stalinism, Statism, Leninism, Maoist, etc. and so forth – these are all variations on the same them as Collectivism.
And just to help destroy their little Nazism lie – throw in ‘National’ along with the label Socialism, As in National Socialism or Socialist National agenda.
Again this is a Blatant lie they been perpetrating for years – it’s time to put a stop to it. -------------------------------------------------- Taxation/Debt Obama is bankrupting the country.
The Oppressives are destroying our children’s future
Does Cloward-Piven really sound like a good idea?
[Okay, getting a little long there]
Don’t Cloward-Piven our future.
Oppressives want equal redistribution of misery for everyone.
Oppressives want everyone equally enslaved. --------------------------------------------- Disarming the Innocent:
Gun Control Kills People!
People can’t protect themselves if you take away their protection.
Oppressive only want Criminals and the Feral government to have guns
Politicians of both parties probably laugh when they see us up in arms over the issue du jour. They will only begin to represent us when we the people edemonstrate to them that we WILL protect and defend the Constitution if they won’t. Action is what is needed now, not words.
Gun control creates victims ... ,
ask Stalin , Hitler , .. and Emmanuel
“Gun Control” Bloomburg surrounds himself with firearms
but he doesn’t want you to be able to protect yourself
Native Americans Gun control created the FEMA camps of 1876
Automatic reloading rifles conquered the West,
that’s why Commies and Liberals live in the EAST
Liberals = killing the Constitution one amendment at a time
That has always been a good one – The Oppressives don’t seem to have a good answer to it aside from the implication that they are willing to sacrifice some people to their collectivist ‘Gods’.
They can’t actually come out and say it – but they are perfectly willing to sacrifice your safety for their power.
Not sure how to form that into a compact phrase though.
BTW, I like your tag line.
Did you hear that Wal-Mart didn’t meet with our dear rulers out of a scheduling conflict – maybe they are seeing the handwriting on the ‘wal.’
When I was in New York City last fall, I turned on the TV stations to see the respective Democratic and Republican conventions .
As many as 11 stations on cable TV carried the full Democratic convention , and at one time as many as 16 channels had the Dem convention.
Only 1 channel (Foxnews , I believe )carried the Republican Convention for three hours .
My host said that I could watch any channel , other than Fox ( that says a lot about my host ).
Simply stated , the political message didn’t get out to the underinformed , or the independant voter .
We need a Conservative voice in the television broadcast media to get the message out . Anything short of that , and we will get what we got in the last election.
Have you ever written a letter to a congresscritter? If you haven't then I can already tell to you the response that you will get:
You'll get a form letter that will state, more or less, "We appreciate your concern over ( fill in the blank ). Please fill out the enclosed form so that you can donate to my next election."
“(Adjusts tin foil hat)”
Tin foil hats actually enhance mind-control capability! They work like antennas! :-)
Is that blog yours?
Sparkling prose there:
“The next time some cliche-ridden boob says to you, “perception is reality,” know that they are a metaphysically retarded son or daughter of Kant.”
“...if your only tool is a rhetorical hammer, you will treat everything as an ideological nail.”
Thanks for the lead!

Example:
Assault weapons are made for killing many people.
Response: Is that why the police have them? To kill many people?
You print that and liberals only see "Guns Kill."
Tax cuts = Tax cuts for rich.
Low Information Establishment voters are not easy to reach. We need to tell the LIE voters the truth.
Bingo! I have been totally News free since November 1st. I switched through that channels the other night and saw Hannity was on, but it was a rerun or at leas it looked like one.
If they say anything important (highly unlikely) it will be posted here or I won't know about it.
No, it isn’t my blog, it’s one of my favorites, though.
You’re welcome! :)
Yes, we’re boned if we can’t compete with the BSM.
I have written to my statehouse rep. and senator, and to my U.S. Congress rep. and senators.
Anywhere and everywhere that you can do anything, particularly in some letter, does matter. All and any practices in defense of our liberty, including your presence, matters.
The leftists are relying upon the same processes they used to discourage people during the elections, to discourage people now.
It's *hard* to write well. I've spent hours into the night, many days of each week, studying up on important historical details about the construction of the Second Amendment - how it was formed, step by step - and finally managed to write letters that I believe concisely incorporate the basics of the Amendment's construction and purpose, in addition to getting across our determination to not give up our rights.
Most of us are a bit stunned by the arrogance and intimidation --- the belittling attacks --- from the leftists, in debate. Conservatives are too often stumped by the left, and the left *relies upon that - they expect it.* Resist them, as they try to rack up points - make them not feel so great about their assault on liberty.
You may retreat a little, but then turning about and expressing yourself well ... then, the overly-self-important egos of the left *are affected by that.* Help their knees to go wobbly.
Even if all you write is:
Explanations are plentiful throughout history, Why the people must retain a balance of military power un-infringed by government. You'd be right, by suggesting that General Washington would insist that such power be responsibly handled, and it is, by the organized militia, in addition to the many tens of millions of Americans, individuals who also do their duty to practice safe weapons handling, maintenance, and storage.Yet now comes government, hysterically - repeat *that* - insisting that many tens of million of law-abiding Americans are at fault ... when in fact we are not at fault for what happened in Newtown. The last government to assert that fault lay with, and blamed tens of millions of people, continued with gun control programs that allowed what is inherently a wrong about the nature of government, to destroy a million times Newtown.
I respectfully request that you do what you can to get the national government to step back from the abyss and instead have the state goverrnment focus upon the problem of defending schools, before some foreign agent figures out the meaning of gun-free zones.
Then please do so; and send it to *all* your elected officials at your statehouse and in the Congress.
Thank you.
Jim Crow was for gun control, too.
I have a suggestion for getting it all down to six words:
George Washington disagreed with gun control.
