Liberalese strikes again
« on: July 20, 2011, 10:25:29 AM »
The language of liberals sounds like the English language, but it has been perverted beyond any sense.  To wit, this real-life example:

"There's a difference between being judgmental and using judgment."

"There's a difference between being judgmental and using judgment." I think I can see some truth to that statement...Am I turning liberal?

How 'bout "There's a difference between being smart and using commonsense."

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

So there's a difference between using judgment and using judgment?

That actually makes sense and is true.  There are plenty of smart (i.e. intelligent, knowledgeable) people who don't have much common sense.

Here's my personal definitions of the words.....

Judgmental: an asshole with a holier than thou attitude. Someone who considers themselves to always be in the right and you in the wrong no matter the subject or the evidence.

Using Judgement: using the available evidence or facts to arrive at a reasonably correct decision, conclusion or solution.
