One notes the manufacture of new phrases and words, courtesy of the Lefty chaps at The Hill. Quite worthy of George Lakoff, and his "thesis that people's lives are significantly influenced by the conceptual metaphors they use to explain complex phenomena."

Translation: words matter. Using them like scalpels and creating new phrases and definitions is a matter of "nudging" the public discourse. And "nudging" is so often a Lefty game.

As in, Thaler and Sunstein (of the Obama administration's cast of characters).

You mean like “reproductive rights”, “planned parenthood” and “undocumented immigrants”?

Despicable to the point of being evil IMO.......but your right, they are very good at it......in a satanic kind of way that is.
