Realizing a Progressive Dream by Rewriting the English Dictionary

By 4/30/2021,  Source: IntellectualConservative  

Today’s Democrats seem to have a way with words.  They may have learned the power of word manipulation sometime around the turn of this century.  That’s when they introduced to America a radical concept once considered outlandish.  

They couldn’t have done it without redefining a single word, a word that, throughout recorded history, meant the union of one man and one woman.  By changing the definition of “marriage,” they succeeded in bringing about a tectonic shift in America’s social mores. 
      
That victory showed them what they could do by simply distorting the definition of words.  It must have given them a sense of omnipotence, because today Democrats routinely reassign convenient definitions to words in order to influence public opinion and impose their radical agenda..........And the word “patriotic” was once fairly well-defined.  But Democrats have started fiddling with that word, too.  Back in 2008, then-Vice President Biden told us that paying higher taxes was patriotic...........With an almost surreal irony, Democrats have even defined the destructive and costly anti-American riots organized by BLM and Antifa, as patriotic.......

They simply redefined “infrastructure” to mean anything mentioned in their bill.....“Paid leave is infrastructure.  Child care is infrastructure.  Caregiving is infrastructure.”  

(Editor's Note:  I thought this cartoon from the American Spectator would lend a certain panache to this article. RK)  

 

Nancy Pelosi offered a more finessed, but equally bizarre, explanation................ adding that “human infrastructure” was also included in the bill..........Their calculated manipulation of words is not intended to unite our country.  

Today’s Democrats have a different dream.  They envision a racially divided, socialist state with a dependent, compliant populace.  And as far as character is concerned, that word doesn’t exist in their vocabulary.........To Read More....
