I don't let them get away with "fascist" meaning "we don't like you," or "racist" meaning "anything you do that isn't sufficiently socialist enough." And I especially don't let them get away with "blacks can't be racist, only whites can."DougLosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05917776084914759015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385085882160667044.post-75246021193205697882008-07-19T19:56:00.000+00:002008-07-19T19:56:00.000+00:00MD, the "heart of the failure" (of people to reali...MD, the "heart of the failure" (of people to realize that the national government is a creation of the states) is that when the Left gets to define the terms, we usually lose without really getting to put up a fight. The average registered voter has no idea what "federal" means, and has been told time and again that "'states' rights' is a code word for 'racism'" (perhaps the ultimate straw man: the theory of government expressed in the DoI does not recognize that any governmental entity has "rights"; <I>people</I> have rights, and the "just powers" of government defend those rights; "racism" itself has simply become "disagreeing with a leftist").<BR/><BR/>Consequently, the average legislator doesn't have to worry about any negative consequences of letting a resolution like this wither away. If people understand what's being done, it's much more difficult to "pull a Pelosi".The Monsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15291546809967159683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385085882160667044.post-66279357511635729382008-07-18T21:56:00.000+00:002008-07-18T21:56:00.000+00:00Ummm...

Unfortunately, however, while I can craft a reasonably coherent sentence, I'm not the type of person who could do a good job at a project like that.Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01790677413950555081noreply@blogger.com
