I'll use whichever the label or definition my correspondent prefers - arguing over labels and definitions is usually a waste of time, so I let the other guy define it, and argue my point from there.
-- Left says its constitutional because SCOTUS says it is. --
Plenty of righties use that formula too. Especially the law and order types.
Yup, a lot of duped folks out there. We have a lot of work to do.
I gotta tell you that the argument over labels and definitions has a lot to do with the heart of the battle we are in. It’s Leftist lies, believed as you point out by many on the Right, versus the truth.
It is a battle for the hearts and minds of the American People and “labels and definitions” are a key factor.
Two simple examples, two of many. One is the use of the word “immigration.” The ACTUAL debate is over ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION but the Lying Left drops the word “illegal” and actively attempts to incorporate “immigration” into the lexicon and confuse the issue. Confusion is one of the Left’s most powerful tools.
Another example of the need for precision in what we’re talking about to combat Leftist confusion is the use of the word “globalization”. The ACTUAL debate is over POLITICAL/GOVERNMENTAL GLOBALIZATION which is the blurring of our political borders and the weakening of our national sovereignty. But “political/governmental” gets dropped, so just about anything international (private trade, the internet, private international phone calls, etc.) potentially becomes a candidate for “globalization” and confusion is off and running and the Left wins with confusion.
So precision and understanding in the use of labels are definitions and extremely important. You have to be ready to challenge the Left or the duped Right at the very outset of presumptions based on faulty,confused concepts or definitions. Once they get past that threshold without a challenge, they usually have you.
