The idea of “reframing” is a classic and consistent liberal tactic. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Democrat Party has loads of 5th Avenue marketing firms on retainer to reframe every issue they deal with. For example, Democrats have reframed abortion to be “choice” and homosexual behavior to be “gay” (or, as ORIGINALLY defined by Webster’s as “happy”).
Whether you agree with abortion (i.e. “choice”) or homosexual behavior (i.e. being “gay”) it is obvious that the language has been reframed to change controversial issues into something more difficult to oppose. After all, who could oppose “choice”? Forget that it is the destruction of a human life.
And now we get to the heart of the issue. It is time to reframe this entire NYC Mosque issue as TREASON! The Constitution defines treason as giving aid and comfort to our enemies.
The NYC Mosque is being built in a controversial location which can clearly be described as an attempt to provide “comfort” to radical Islamists everywhere! They can dance in the streets.
Liberals are attempting to reframe this as a tolerance issue. I say it is time to reframe this as a TREASON issue. The idea of “giving aid and comfort” to America’s enemies will resonate with much of America. Even as the media shrieks about “radical right wing activists” they will carry the torch because of their psychotic nature. However, the more the liberal media shrieks about “right wing activists” who call this treason, the more they will turn the vast majority of America off.
Americans instinctively know that the NYC Mosque is a “monument” to the terrorists who AMERICA IS AT WAR WITH. And the more the lunatic left shrieks about calling it treason, the more the American public will connect with exactly WHY they are uncomfortable with this.
Come election time 2012 it will be pretty hard to frame in a good light the new mosque being built vs. the empty hole that was the WTC.
No; not a fan of Spam. But, if you send an e-mail to 50 people in your address book and they send it to 50 people, and they send it to 50 people...............do the math.
The internet is how B. Hussein Obama raised millions of dollars in ‘08. Why not use a tool that you have at your disposal? As the Post implied, we let the Liberals “reframe” everything. We let them “define” us before we define ourselves. The left-wing media has tried to destroy any chance Sarah Palin has at becoming President by attempting to define her as a dufus brain.
Why can’t we draw first-blood for a change? Nah; I guess not. Conservatives don’t have the “fire in the belly” anymore; like Ronald Reagan did when he called the Soviet Union an “evil empire”. We must all conduct ourselves “courteously” like John McCain did in the ‘08 Presidential race and got his a** handed to him on a plate on Election Night.
Richard Nixon; love him or hate him, he had balls.
Good luck with that.
I'm not saying anything against the content, you understand. I don't want a frickin victory-mosque anywhere in New York City. Or rural PA, or Washington DC either.
But do think twice before you got hog-wild with the spam. It's not as effective as you might think.
Most spam filters trap phrases like "Send this to everybody in your address book", or "Forward this email to 10 friends", etc. and they drop that email message on the floor like a turd.
When BO raised money on the internet, very little of that money was raised via the scattershot spam; it was mostly the result of more coordinated efforts.
Speaking of "fire in the belly", I like to try to imagine how Barry Goldwater, one of my personal political heroes, would react to this affront, and deal with it.
Well, Barry Goldwater was my hero for years. But, in his latter years, he became a “Moderate” in some of his thinking. Some feel that it was the influence of his younger wife. Who knows? But, back in the day, Barry would have said: “You’ve gotta be kidding me; no way you’ll do any such thing. And, if you even suggest it again I’ll knock the crap out of you.”
The first memory of him that always comes to mind was his speech at the 1980 GOP Convention at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. He stopped in the middle of his speech and said: “DAMN; IT’S HOT IN HERE.”
