Commentary
We have a president who cannot finish a simple sentence, and a vice president who makes him sound clear-spoken. If that weren’t enough, we have a president of the once esteemed Harvard University, who is guilty of plagiarism, and members of the Supreme Court of Colorado, who have chosen to use words dating back to the Civil War era to keep former President Trump off the ballot.
“What a crazy effing country this is,” remarked journalist Matt Taibbi.
The late Rush Limbaugh used to digress from a topic to remind us that “words mean things.” Commenting on an article in The Federalist about “10 politically correct but factually wrong words and phrases” the left uses to great effect, he said, “They know they can change the language so that people only have the ability to think within their confines, they change the reality of culture.”
Doubt me? Surely, you’ve noticed how the left interchangeably uses the words racism, freedom, Hitler and democracy to suit their message.
I’ll briefly touch on the words of Vice President Harris and the Colorado Supreme Court. Then give you the words of people who are wordsmiths.
Vice President Harris
“The freedom to just be” is under threat in 2024 which will be “the most election of our lifetime,” Vice President Harris said during an interview with Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC’s The Last Word.
If the audience was waiting for O’Donnell to ask, ‘The freedom to just be what?’ and ‘The most what election of our lifetime?’ It never came.
“You know, every election cycle we talk about this is the most election of our lifetime,” she said, without correcting herself. “Lawrence, this one is, this one is,” she continued.
If Harris isn’t unleashing one of her insane cackles, she gives us another one of her famous word salads. We never did learn the what election of our lifetime.
One thing is sure. It won’t be how we see it developing.
The Colorado Jurists
“A majority of the court holds that Trump is disqualified from holding the office of president under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment,” they wrote in their ruling that former President Trump would be kept off the ballot in Colorado, misconstruing a Civil War era constitutional provision barring candidates who “engaged in insurrection” from elected office.
Despite the years of efforts by Democrats and their complicit media to destroy Trump and keep him from returning to the White House, the FBI confirmed that there was no organized effort to overturn the election on January 6, 2021.
The Views of Wordsmiths
The disqualification of Donald Trump from the ballot in the state of Colorado “is a major escalation of the lawfare phenomenon that’s zoomed from simmer to boil in the seven years since Trump was first elected in 2016,” said Matt Taibbi, who has established himself as an objective journalist after years of left-leaning writing.
“The glee of #Resistance dolts like Robert Reich and Dean Obeidallah at this decision shows that this was a move dreamed up at the very center of the bubble-within-a-bubble-within-a-bubble that is the blob of the modern Democrat Party,” he added.
“Well, I think it is out of bounds,” said constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley, a Democrat. “What Colorado did was wrong wrong … it was wrong legally. It was wrong in terms of our values.”
Journalist Glenn Greenwald was particularly upset with Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics president Noah Bookbinder for taking credit for getting Trump booted off the Colorado ballot, calling it a “huge moment for democracy.”
“This makes me physically sick,” wrote Greenwald. “They claimed endlessly for years that they are the guardians of American democracy, that American democracy is under existential threat from Donald Trump, and therefore everything they do … censoring the internet, trying to imprison Trump, putting his supporters in jail, keeping them in solitary confinement for months, criminalizing the Trump movement by calling it an ‘insurrectionary movement,’ and now trying to remove him from the ballot so people can’t vote for him … somehow is not an attack on democracy, which of course it is.”
An example of how the left uses the word “democracy” to suit the means of attacking Trump.
Thanks to Rush Limbaugh for reminding us that words mean things.
May God continue to bless the United States of America.
