You can call a sock a bipedal sheathing unit but it’s still just a sock. Doesn’t matter how flowery the language is to dress it up. I use this illustration to make a point about how adept Democrats are at using euphemisms to their advantage. Their specious rhetoric beguiles so many Democrats typified by their lack of intellection.
On the surface, who could object to a Build Back Better plan? There is a clamant need to hammer home to the public how much waste is included in this package and the danger it poses relative to a potential implosion of our nation’s financial infrastructure.
What could possibly be wrong with an “unprecedented evacuation” as Biden put it when touting the numbers removed in his retreat from Afghanistan. No matter how you spin it or try to cloak it, unprecedented evacuation is simply a euphemism for surrender.
Gun reform. The inference of the word reform assumes there is something wrong with the current system. It’s really a euphemism for gun confiscation. The libs would have you believe, for example, that the AR in AR 15 or AR 10 stands for assault rifle or automatic rifle. This is either showing their ignorance or their bid to deliberately obfuscate the issue. The company that invented this rifle is called Armalite, hence the Armalite Rifle (AR). This is simply a rifle, not an assault weapon. The Dems would have you believe this is akin to the Tommy Gun and other automatic weapons. I’ll grant that the look of it can be menacing. It’s kind of like looking at a hot car and assuming that anyone driving it will be a speeder, recklessly mowing down innocent bystanders. Neither assumption holds up to scrutiny.
A couple of bills launched by Democrats (euphemism for ignoble tribe) espousing the protection and enhancement of so-called voting rights is another glaring example of putting lipstick on a pig. It’s still a pig. The long game with all these attempts at passing their voting agenda is simply to ensure that they stay in power. For example, they want suffrage extended to felons, and want to make it easy for non-citizens to vote in federal elections. Might be why they are allowing millions of illegals in to bolster their election numbers. The good news is that the way things are going eventually there won’t be any more felons because the libs refuse to prosecute law breakers and even advocate for the release of violent offenders from prison.
The Affordable Care Act must be wonderful. Who doesn’t want affordable health care? The problem is that it rarely is affordable, it initially punitively punished those that objected to having to have their plan or any other insurance. Of course, you could choose your own doctor. Oh wait, that didn’t end up being the case. It’s hard to find an example of any program that worked in the private sector that was improved by federalization.
There are, of course, countless additional examples I could present but I suspect the point has been sufficiently made.
It is very gratifying that Biden and Harris are experiencing disapproval ratings in all demographics perhaps never seen before at this stage of a presidency. People keep talking about a red wave in November but still are cautious about forecasting retaking the House. This is where it is critical for the Republicans to focus on congressional races. We need to reinforce with voters who may dislike Biden, the squad, and others of their ilk that voting for a Democrat in any congressional race is still a vote of confidence for the current incumbency. Although a Democrat candidacy on an individual basis may not seem as repugnant as Biden or Harris, they almost without exception unanimously vote for whatever his agenda is.
Friedrich Nietzsche must have had in mind what the Democrats are doing to this nation when he
said “There are horrible people who, instead of solving a problem, tangle it up and make it harder to solve for anyone who wants to deal with it. Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.” Thanks Fred, that’s all I have for now.
