The Poison Propaganda Pill Problem

 


"The left-wing agenda that the main stream media, the entertainment industry, and public education incessantly pushes on American society is like dope to the masses.  

It is poisonous and will bring down America if it continues to be sold, bought and consumed."

If you are Hillary Clinton you’d ask your questioners, “What Difference Does It Make?”

Hat tip goes to www. ExposeObama.com for the video and the poem they recently posted on their website. The theme of the two pieces, of course, is the now infamous question uttered by Hillary Clinton the former first (of many ladies) lady of President Sleaze himself.

 
 

“What Difference Does It Make?”
An Original Poem

Uttering the tragic words that rang across the room into the hearts of all Americans

What difference does it make indeed
Four American heroes are dead and the hearts of their families still bleed
 
What difference does it make
Whether Americans vote or eat government cake

What difference does it make if people must use healthcare that kills
As long as the government can tell you how to pay the insurance bills

What difference does it make to crucify Christ again
There are plenty of trees to hug and earth to freeze all in vain
 
What difference does it make if innocent children are dead
A crisis must not be wasted but used to squash the rights of Americans under the guise of moving ahead

What difference does it make if they trample the Constitution all over
So long, as the liberals have hope to give it a new makeover

What difference does it make that women head to the front lines while men remain behind
As long as we go forward and change the course of humankind

What difference does it make that our children forget their history
Even as the politicians in Washington remain obscure to our misery

What difference does it make that our enemies scoff and laugh at us
So long as we can help them and negotiate our future with the one who is most preposterous

What difference does it make when the economy collapses
Hope and change will still have moved the masses

“What difference does it make?” you say?
It makes a big difference to me and to all those who still believe in the USA.

Why not call them what they really are?


This post is about semantics.  In particular, why is it that the names we use to describe political opponents and their ideologies are important? 

For years, we tended to call Democrats like Bill Clinton liberals.  To us, the word liberal was a negative term.  But actually, a liberal is someone who believes in liberty.  The word liberal can also be used to describe one who is generous.  But when we talk about Bill Clinton or Barack Obama as being liberal, this is hardly what we mean.  In fact, they are quite the opposite.  So I don’t think that we should use this term.

In recent years, the word progressive has perhaps become a more popular term for the type of political bent we are trying to describe.  There is even an auto insurance company which has taken on this name (and they are, in fact, very progressive in that sense).  But progressive really just means someone who is in favor of progress.  This is not necessarily bad.  Despite what Michele Bachmann says, the United States did start as a Republic in which slavery was legal (in most states, at least).  In other words, after winning the Revolutionary War, not everyone was instantly free.  Although other approaches to gain racial equality were actually detrimental to the cause of freedom, nonetheless there were beneficial progressive measures like the 13th and 15th Amendments.  In fact, the American Revolution itself and the adoption of the original Constitution and Bill Rights were, at the time, very progressive as well.  In a larger sense, positive progress can take place in areas other than political, such as science.  The word progress (in regards to science) even appears in the Constitution.  But “progress” is not good when it comes to mean legalizing murder and forcing people to support and condone degrading behavior such as homosexuality.  “Progress” which denies parental rights and accepts the neglecting of the parental responsibilities is also not beneficial.

Everybody has probably seen the bumper sticker “Socialism Doesn’t Work”.  If you are thinking that word Socialist is better to use for the type of people we are talking about, you are getting a lot warmer.  But here is why that word is still not quite right.  A socialist tends to want to take away all private property by means of government legislation.  In contrast, a fascist (or corporatist) is someone who wants all property to be confiscated by means of a corporate takeover of everything.  Same result, different means.  But modern leftists in America seem to be employing both tactics simultaneously.  So the distinction between “left” and “right” is now nothing but a mere illusion.  An umbrella term for this desire to put all property into a central ownership is called collectivism which is a form of totalitarianism or statism.  Another reason why Socialist isn’t quite right is because there is such a thing as voluntary socialism (i.e. utopian socialist societies).  But we are really talking about people who want to force this way of living onto everyone.  And thirdly, the words socialism, collectivism, totalitarianism or statism do not necessarily encompass things like abortion, homosexuality, and other social issues as the words liberal and progressive did (although sometimes erroneously). 

So what is the best word to use?  How about extortionist, murderer, kidnapper, thief, or pervert?  If you want to sum all these up into one word, that one word could be God-hater, criminal or lawbreaker.  Why not call them what they really are?

Victoria Jackson spoofs Meghan “a RINO like her dear old dad” McCain

I found this video on Victoria Jackson’s Facebook wall . . . The YouTube description reads, “Chase Peterson interviews a Republican so forward-thinking, (that) she's very nearly a Progressive Democrat. The Pasadena Tea Party Patriots are proud to feature Victoria Jackson (Saturday Night Live - SNL) and Basil Hoffman (Seinfeld, Milagro Beanfield) in a parody of a Republican RINO run amok.”

The video captures the essence of the McCain’s RINO principles, or lack thereof . . .
