Camerota Counsels Dems: Time to Come Up with 'New Name' for 'Socialist'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/16/2019 8:48:01 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Not just a CNN co-host anymore! Alisyn Camerota is now also serving as a volunteer Democrat strategist. On this morning's New Day, Camerota suggested that in order to avoid being branded by Republicans, Dems should "come up with some sort of new name" for "socialist."

Camerota made her remark in the context of claiming that House GOP minority leader Kevin McCarthy and Sen. Lindsey Graham are trying to redirect the conversation away from President Trump's recent comments about The Squad, and toward the fact that The Squad members are socialists.

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

“I predict they’ll settle on “Economic Fairness Advocate”.”

Maybe they should consider the “Fairness Advocate Group(s).”

A rose by any other name is still a rose.

Socialism = anything you want to call it. Doesn’t change.

Thank you for referencing that article governsleastgovernsbest. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

”...Dems should "come up with some sort of new name" for "socialist.""

Tenth Amendment (10A)-protected state powers are as close as we're going to get to socialism in our constitutional republic imo.

"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
In fact, the congressional record shows that constitutional lawmaker Rep. John Bingham had put it this way about unique state powers to serve the people.
”... the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphases added].” —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe, 1866. (See about middle of 3rd column.)


Also consider Justice Brandeis’ insight on 10A-protected state powers.

"It is one of the happy incidents of the federal system that a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose [emphasis added], serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country.” — Justice Brandeis, Laboratories of democracy.

Note that constitutional limits on states as laboratories of democracy is that states cannot establish privileged / protected classes or abridge constitutionally enumerated rights, and must maintain a constitutionally guaranteed republican form of government.

The remedy for unconstitutionally big federal government on our backs…

Patriots need to elect a new patriot Congress in the 2020 elections that will not only promise to support PDJT’s vision for MAGA, now KAG, but will also promise to do the following.

The new Congress needs to surrender state powers that previous congresses have been stealing from the states back to the states, and do its constitutional duty to guarantee each state a republican form of government.

"Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government [emphasis added], and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."

And to make such changes permanent, patriots also need to support PDJT in leading the states to repeal the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments.

Remember in November 2020!

MAGA! Now KAG!

Democrats think they can change truth just by changing vocabulary. They’ve been trying this for years.

Well, it worked for Obama when he re named al-Qaeda and ISIS moderate Muslims and gave them money, training weapons and vehicles.

Some times even American air support

I think “The Enemy Within” has the right tone to replace socialist.
