Euphemistically speaking

A good friend of ours, and TheFundamentals, of long standing, has been quite consistent over many decades in focusing on just a few key issues.  Key among them has been America’s constant and growing trade deficit – the dislogic of treating certain groups of people in America as “protected” versus others and, the Democrat party’s constant need to come up with a word or two or three to mask the vote buying game they are playing.  This post is about the latter category:

Affirmative action – this term has lost some of its cachet of late.  It actually can be used to stigmatize a recipient – not good.  We now have a top judge who proudly claims to be one of its poster girls.  Of course, implicit in that claim is her self judgment that she would otherwise have never been recognized for her many skills, talents and gifts.  Or, in simple language, she deems herself to be a gift to all of us (remind you of anyone who is cautiously considering a run for president?)   Be careful of anyone, affirmative action baby or not, who so sees himself/herself.

War on women – this term is recent, political and quite insulting to those who actually do go to war where the stakes are a bit higher than being able to hire a trial attorney on a pure contingent fee basis with the hope of winning a lottery style settlement at the expense of all the rest of us.

Living wage – this dopey term has always been our supporters #1 bugaboo.  Today we most frequently find it applied to the movement to raise the “minimum wage.”  We recently pointed out to our friend/supporter that TheFundamentals was going to take the stand supporting the minimum wage increase but only if we could get it up to $25 or $30 an hour because that shift would do away, hopefully,  with all the fast food franchises and their eyesore presence across America and elsewhere.  It would also drastically reduce their advertising on the Hollywood media and keep their other garbage and debris off our streets and front lawns.

Immigration reform – this catchy phrase usually means – accelerated citizenship for those who enter and remain in the country illegally.  So why have any immigration laws at all if those who ignore them get more favorable treatment than those who follow them?  Also, this essayist cannot fathom visiting a foreign land, ignoring their laws about anything, and then seeking favorable consideration for such actions.  Anyone who implies a consequence with no intention of enforcement is a fraud; a bluffer.

The right to choose – now this one continues to be a problem.  The right to choose has this one big downside – a declining population – which is antithetical to any political movement that depends on a “Ponzi” style scheme to keep things going (which is why the Democrats need very loose “immigration reform” policies). 

The Democrats have stolen Bernard Madoff’s Ponzi playbook.  Mr. Madoff never called his investment programs a Ponzi scheme.  To do so would have been self defeating but everyone who invested with Mr. Madoff and hung around for all the great returns turned into a loser – big losers.  For many years, Madoff garnered quite the reputation as a wunderkind capable of producing spectacular results consistently.  Sound familiar?  It should.  The Democrats are doing it to you right now – buying votes with fake money; fake commerce; fake output; fake results.

The not-so-clever ways of presenting these vote buying schemes (euphemisms) are just part and parcel of a “Ponzi” scheme to keep Democrats in power.  And many people flock to get something that a reasonable person knows is fakery.  But we ask this simple question of you who buy into the scheme – name one Ponzi scheme that lasted?  That’s all – just name one.  For a few dollars today you are willing to sell out your family; their future and that of your neighbors also.  What should we call that?

The top Democrat calls it – hope and change.
