Liberal to English Translation
Jan 16th, 2013 by Don.
I know many liberals and have asked them all the same question, “You detested that Bush spent so much money and raised our national debt, yet Obama is quadrupling this debt and has, in fact amassed more deficit spending than all other Presidents combined. Does this bother you?â€
Every single time the answer has been, “No, it doesn’t bother me because he is spending money on things that need to be done.â€
To which I state something along the lines of, “You mean like A $246 million tax break for Hollywood movie producers to buy motion picture film, or $600 million to buy hybrid vehicles for federal employees, or $160 million for “paid volunteers†at the Corporation for National and Community Service, or lastly, how about $850 million for Amtrak.â€
This is usually where the conversation either turns ugly or ends, because when confronted with the truth, the average liberal cannot deal with it. It is hard to call these things investments when they are what they are – government waste and misuse of our tax dollars.
The liberals have been so successful the last few years because of a number of reasons. The liberal media is in their back pocket for one, and have been a very useful tool of the liberal. The liberal media has even adopted the language of the liberal. For example, it’s not raising taxes, it’s “investing.†It’s not abortion, it’s “choice.†They’re not illegal aliens, they are “undocumented immigrants.†For you see, to make their far left agenda more palatable to the average American, they have to – because it is so radical.
So I have compiled a partial list of liberal to English translation. It is in no particular order and of course only a partial list because it is constantly being changed and updated.
