Whoever Controls the Language Controls the Debate

May 18, 2012 by The Godfather

If you can control the language, you can control ideas. By controlling ideas, you can control the way people think and act. Before Frank Schaeffer went over to the Dark Side, he had some good things to say about how liberals think and act. His analysis of language is still applicable: “Think of the use of labels to categorize political activity. Some labels are used to neutralize the actions of certain groups; others denote being ‘one of us,’ acceptable. The words ‘right wing,’ ‘fundamentalist,’ ‘pro-life,’ ‘absolutist,’ and ‘deeply religious,’ are put-downs more than categories. Conversely, think of the unspoken pat on the back and blessing that the following words convey: ‘moderate,’ ‘pluralistic,’ ‘liberal,’ ‘civil libertarian,’ ‘pragmatic,’ and ‘enlightened.”[1]

Consider the following list:

LIBERAL.............................................................CONSERVATIVE

Arsenal of Weapons................................................Gun Collection

Delicate Wetlands..........................................................Swamp

Undocumented Worker................................................Illegal Alien

Cruelty-Free Materials...........................................Synthetic Fiber

Assault and Battery..........................................Attitude Adjustment

Heavily Armed.....................................................Well-protected

Narrow-minded..........................................................Righteous

Taxes or Your Fair Share...........................................Coerced Theft

Commonsense Gun Control....................................Gun Confiscation Plot

Illegal Hazardous Explosives..........................Fireworks or Stump Removal

Non-viable Tissue Mass...............................................Unborn Baby

Equal Access to Opportunity............................................Socialism

Multicultural Community..........................................High Crime Area

Fairness or Social Progress..............................................Marxism

Upper Class or “The Rich”..........................................Self-Employed

Progressive, Change........................................Big Government Scheme

Homeless or Disadvantaged..............................Bums on Welfare & Leeches

Sniper Rifle...............................................Deer Rifle with scope

Investment For the Future...........................................Higher Taxes

Healthcare Reform............................................Socialized Medicine

Extremist, Judgmental, or Hater.....................................Conservative

Truants............................................................Homeschoolers

Victim or Oppressed............................Criminal or Lazy Good-For-Nothing

High Capacity Magazine................................Standard Capacity Magazine

Religious Zealot..................................................Attends Church

Fair Trade Coffee.......................................Overpriced Yuppie Coffee

Exploiters or “The Rich”..................................Employed or Land Owner

The Gun Lobby........................................................NRA Members

Assault Weapon............................................Semi-Automatic Handgun

Fiscal Stimulus.......................................New Taxes and Higher Taxes

Same Sex Marriage...........................................Legalized Perversion

F'ing DUH.

THIS is FACT.

The libTURDS have had a free pass when it comes to setting the terms of the discussion for decades.

Did you ever notice that often libTURDS have NOTHING but words?

BUT, those words are the bones of what and how people think and act.

ie. "gay", there isn't a F'ing thing "gay" about ANY queer/homosexual that I've ever met or talked to. Without exception they are all the very opposite of "gay".

How about "liberal"? When's the last time the American left was ever "liberal"?

NEVER is when, the left in America is TYRANNICAL and OPPRESSIVE, they HATE the individual and OUR nation. They are FASCISTS with happy rainbow faces, but they are FASCISTS nonetheless.

OUR job as AMERICANS is to NEVER accept their language, to define the argument in OUR, in TRADITIONAL words and concepts.

Remember that the next time you are in a line somewhere and some libTURD fool says " EVERYBODY knows .... fill in libTURD LIE of the day or dogma ....", SPEAK UP!

Say, "NO EVERYBODY does NOT KNOW .... fill in libTURD LIE of the day or dogma ...." then attack the LIE directly.

BE a free individual , NOT a sheeple.

FIGHT while there is still TIME.

FIGHT for your children and theirs.

FIGHT!

Spoiled, stupid and ignorant, brain dead phuckwads, libTURD fools, tools, and idiots, are the real sickness; the messiah "king" obammy and his regime are only the symptoms.

If you can control the language, you can control ideas.

"The limits of debate are established in this country before the debate even begins. Everybody else is marginalized, made to seem like Communists or some other disloyal person. Kook, there’s a word! Now it’s conspiracy.

They’ve made that something that can’t even be entertained for a minute – that powerful people might get together and have a plan? Doesn’t happen! You’re a kook, you’re a conspiracy buff!" – George Carlin

It's what you hypocritical SCUM do.

Activism..................................TREASON

equal rights............................special rights for approved subgroups

Gooberment is GOOD...........................Gooberment is DANGEROUS TO US ALL

Diversity................................quotas for libTURD approved subgroups

mctoejam is a brilliant and kind person.......................mctoejam is a deeply stoopid supporter of TYRANNY and a brain dead TOOL and a gibbering libTURD FOOL.

Take a few minutes...
@WAR.COM: THE INTERNET AND PSYCHOLOGICAL OPERATIONS 5 February 2001

The recent Defense Science Board report on PSYOP also suggested some less obvious potential tools using emerging media technologies, such as chat rooms and instant messaging services that could be used for “guided discussions” to influence how citizens thinks about certain topics,” and even noted that both U.S. presidential candidates and the Chinese government have used similar Internet technologies for information dissemination.

some text "If men through fear, fraud or mistake, should in terms renounce and give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the great end of society, would absolutely vacate such renunciation; the right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of Man to alienate this gift, and voluntarily become a slave." Samuel Adams, Rights of the Colonists, 1772

Traditional words and concepts?

Your name calling and hyperbole are hardly what any sane person would consider "Traditional".

In fact, you debate more like a liberal than those you rail against.

Your tactics are straight from The Liberal Debate Playbook.

3. Get as personal and vicious as you can, maybe it will distract your opponent from his train of thought.

4. If you are unable to insult him with the usual insults such as 'racist', 'homophobe', or 'bigot', then insult someone else on his side (someone related to the subject under discussion is preferable but not required).

5. When you're losing, and you usually will be, abruptly change the subject. Again the object of this is to distract and deflect attention from your opponent's argument.

6. Talk loudly and rapidly, don't allow your opponent to get a word in. Remember the more time you consume, the less time your opponent will have.

7. Use hyperbole as an example of your opponent's argument and suggest that that is what they are suggesting.

8. Purposely misunderstand what is being said by your opponent and distort it into something you can use.

9. Make up 'facts' most people don't check them and anyway, you'll be long gone by the time the truth is known, and so will the audience.

11. Act insulted. Take umbrage at the slightest contradiction and act as if it is a personal insult. This will make your personal attack seem warranted and just.

12. Use condescending laughter as much as you can. It serves two purposes, first, it dismisses your opponent as being unworthy of your respect and second, it shows your contempt for his arguments. This is a very powerful tool and can really annoy your opponent and disrupt his train of thought.

Mad Dog is a piss-poor example of "conservatism".

And don't lump that moronic profane blowhard in with the "fundies".
