Use and Discard

I've been thinking of the left's penchant for using a particular word or phrase, completely ruining it, and then having to replace it with a new word or phrase. Lather, rinse, repeat. 


Examples you ask?


Liberal replaced by Progressive.


Global Warming replaced by Climate Change (because it stopped warming).


Racism replaced by White Nationalism.


I'm not talking about replacing perfectly good words or phrases with PC euphemisms -- like Illegal Alien becoming (in 21st C. newspeak) Undocumented Immigrant. They have documents, just not a current visa, green card or certificate of American citizenship.


Nor am I talking about adding the word 'social' to a perfectly good word to create a nightmare new idea. There is no word that can't be ruined by the addition of social before it. Justice is great; social justice means the worst parts of fascism. Warriors are great; social warriors are progressive pests. Security is great; social security is the world's longest running Ponzi scheme. Studies are great; social studies generally sucked. And I don't want to even mention social diseases.


I predict Progressive will be the first to be replaced yet again, as the American Left continues its political seppuku.

Jon Snow is a Terrible Tactician

Image
I like Jon Snow's character a lot but I have to say that he has not been a very able general. I'm not talking about his ability to fight with a sword (although he was stabbed to death in one episode). Let's go back to his first foray against the Dead and White Walkers in Hardhome (S5, E8). The Wildings and Night Watch gets their ass kicked and are only saved from being surrounded and killed to the last man because they have small boats available to take them out to the safety of the bigger ships. A lot of seasoned warriors know that when ever you're in enemy territory, it's probably a good idea to send out scouts, establish OPs and LPs so that the enemy doesn't sneak up and take you unawares. Snow never seems to get with the program here. Then there is the liet motiv of him letting his troops get completely surrounded so that someone has to come save him out of the blue. It happened in Battle of the Bastards and on last Sunday's Beyond the  Wall . In the

Thought of the Day

Margaret Thatcher once said “The facts of life are conservative.” And as in so many things, she was absolutely spot on. This, as you can imagine, makes life very, very difficult for people in the overcrowded left-wing media. (It’s overcrowded because so many journalists think they’re left wing). Every day, they wake up to a world where: Israel is the only functioning democracy in the Middle East with the best human rights record; socialism is failing everywhere it is being tried from Venezuela to North Korea; the worst, most fascistic acts of violence and intolerance are being committed by left-wing people calling themselves “anti-fascists”; Islam is not a “religion of peace”; Trump is doing a great job as president — way, way better than his predecessor Obama; man-made climate change is the biggest scam in the history of science, politics, or economics… And somehow they’ve got to construct stories demonstrating the opposite because it’s what their dumb-assed audiences want to hear

Gun Idiocy of the Media

The horrible shooting of Republican congressmen and their aids and protecting police while practicing for a charity Democrat v. Republican baseball game in Alexandria, VA is transitioning into old news. But, aside from the blaming of the victims, the coverage in the media has been pretty normal, that is, it really sucks, especially regarding guns. The gun the lefty puke used to hunt Republican legislators was a Chinese variant of the Soviet  SKS , a semi-auto rifle which was a decided non-improvement on the SVT-40 which it replaced. The SKS does not have a removable box magazine like the SVT (so you have to stuff 10 rounds into the fixed magazine with a stripper clip) and it uses the inferior 7.62x39mm round. It is cheap though. I saw some for sale for $125 a few years ago. Here is but a taste of the pig ignorance of guns the lefty media (but I repeat myself) betray in covering this shooting: CNN said that the SKS was an AK variant before correction of the story after us gun nu
