When Conversation Devolves To Simple Phrases

E-mail Print PDF

We have all seen the terms for years; crook, idiot,  rubes, money-grubber, tree-hugger, bleeding-heart and those are the older terms. Has anyone asked lately if phrases, often devoid of meaning, aid any cause at all. Isn’t it more likely that they simply make the other guy look bad.

All sides are guilty of the practice as a form of dismissal.  In the last few years these phrases have taken new shapes, with the same intention.  The newer phrases, with our instant gratification society, can take hold in a matter of hours.  Phrases, or terms, like

The Libertarian Weltanschauung

E-mail Print PDF

As Ron Paul and other prominent politicians, of the libertarian persuasion, remain somewhat popular their ideas come out into the forefront.  So how should libertarians be seen from other persuasions?

Libertarians have economic and tax policies more like that of conservatives, while their social policies are more like that of the left.  The libertarian view on foreign policy and executive power puts them in a category of their own.

Be Straight, to the Point and Don’t Swallow the Emotional Worm.

E-mail Print PDF

Can the Right’s opposition to the Obama Administration go off track?  Sure, especially if we try using the same purely visceral rhetoric the Left used against Bush.  Haven’t you noticed yet.  The Left is expected to be petty but when the right does the same thing, we are being divisive.

Calling the President a Socialist, Marxist, Leninist, Progressive radical or whatever other term is en vogue this week, won’t work in swaying the middle to the right.  You see the Middle has bought the fib that the Left gets petty in defense of the little guy, while the Right is just mean.  You see when the Left (let me rephrase that) as the Left continues to stew in their hatred of Bush, they are justified in doing so.

Blame Game?

E-mail Print PDF

When a Presidential Candidate runs for office, they do so often selling themselves as having the answers to many of the countries woes.  Once that new President takes office, is it acceptable for that President to blame the last guy?

The economy is still struggling, no matter what political persuasion you are.  Sure some regions are worse than others and some industries are harder hit.  However we all feel, or see, some effects of the economic situation.  So as a President faces the onslaught of difficulties, what should we expect from our executive?

Positively Fourth of July, 2010

E-mail Print PDF

This year we have; a poor economy, high unemployment, increasing gasoline prices, a wobbling war and the list goes on and on.  There is plenty of reason to hang our heads, plenty of reason to despair.   So where is the positive part?

Independence day should be a reminder, not only of the birth of the greatest country the world has ever witnessed, but also the fourth of July is about perseverance through difficult times.
