Liberals continue to change the lexicon of politics and society. They are attempting to force their views and attempt to change the mind set of society. However this is a dangerous path because it is grossly misleading. Here are some examples that I see today:
Acceptance replaces Tolerance - The left is now demanding that we accept all fringe groups that are out there almost regardless of what they might believe or stand for. This is far different from tolerance where you recognize another group but still have the right to disagree. For example, Jews are now asked to accept Islam despite radical fringes that seek to destroy Israel.
Politician replaces Statesman - In the past, elected officials at the national level were referred to as Statesmen. Men of honor who would do what is best for the country. They have been replaced by Politicians who look out for their own interests to often. On top of that, politics has become a career whereas in the past public office was a service where someone gave up part of the career for the good of the people.
Entitlements replace Charity - We continue to see the shift from churches and social organizations (a.k.a. Red Cross) providing help to those in need towards government sponsored programs. This shift started during the Great Depression and has continued to be pushed by liberals. President Obama has left the faith based initiatives of President Bush in place for now but this needs to be watched.
Tax Breaks replaces Entitlements - The current tax code adjustments are now giving tax refunds to people who do not pay taxes. This is anything but a tax break. It is simply government welfare disguised as a tax code change.
Rights and Privileges are interchangeable - These terms have been swapped around as deemed necessary by liberals. Welfare has become a right despite no constitutional basis. Whereas items such as free speech are being infringed upon and described as privileges.
Mistake replaces Felony - We have seen several cabinet appointees admit that they failed to pay their income taxes in the past. This includes Treasury Secretary Geithner. He should have known that he was liable for U.S. income taxes when he worked overseas. I guess he did not use Turbo Tax...
Fear replaces Hope - During the election, we continued to hear a message of hope. There were good things in store for America. Now the message has to turned to fear as the economy continues to struggle. We are asked to do whatever the administration asks to avoid further damage to our nation.
There are several others that I could have put in this list.
Listen carefully to the language that comes out of our elected officials. We need to hold them accountable for what they say and do. Regardless of their political affiliation be watchful of what they say and suggest.
