Democrat Dictionary

"Here will be an old abusing of God's patience and the king's English." ~ William Shakespeare


"'Curiouser and curiouser!' Cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English)" ~ Lewis Carroll

With all this recent talk about requiring immigrants to speak English and sing the National Anthem in English (I actually like the Spanish language version I've heard, as long as the words aren't translated to me), I have become increasingly aware that we also need, in addition to a Spanish/English Dictionary, A dictionary that defines the difference between real English words and terms, and Democratic words and terms.

I have noticed that the terms the Democrats use often are in direct juxtaposition with the actual terms. They define certain terms completely different than how people who have common sense do.

For instance. When the news was leaked that President Bush had been secretly wiretapping known al-Qaida operatives making and/or receiving phone calls from other al-Qaida operatives between some middles Eastern country and our own, we silly common sense Americans referred to that as electronicsurveillancee of probable terrorist suspects in an attempt to prevent further 9/11 style attacks against America.

Democrats curiously call that "domestic wiretapping".

Once, the term "domestic" used to be defined as "of, relating to, or originating within a country and especially one's own country" (according to Mr. Webster). But if that's true, then calling electronic surveillancee of known al-Qaida operatives "domestic wiretapping" would essentially be a lie.

A lie.

By the way, the word "leak" is also suspect, depending on the source. If it isperceivedd to be potentially damaging to Republicans, and President Bush specifically, it is not called a leak. It is called, in Democratic terminology, "Whistle Blowing". According to the Democrats, if it is potentially damaging to the Democrats, it is then properly characterized as a "leak".

Then, there's this latest terminology being bandied about. The National Security Agency has been collecting the phone records of millions of Americans, according to reports. That sounds intrusive, especially when Democrats call that "Domestic Spying". There's that new definition of the word, "Domestic", again.

Domestic spying, in this case, according to the Democrats, refers to collecting records that are already being kept by the phone companies in America, to ascertain if terrorists are calling each other over the phone to plan their next attack against America.

You know that little bill we all get every month that lists the long distance phone calls we make every month to show us that we are being charged, according to the pertinent phone company, correctly?

It's something like that, except these lists include all phone calls. Not just long distance. Phone companies have been keeping these records for decades. Possibly since shortly after the phone was invented. They are often used to establish a case against a felon, and aid in the prosecution of said felons.

Keeping these records is a good thing. For our own security. Never, as far as I know, has anyone ever objected to the phone company knowing that I spoke to my sister in Memphis back in July of last year for approximately 5 minutes.

In this case, it is domestic, but it isn't intrusive. Not unless the NSA is using that information to determine if Joe Bob, in Happy Haven Trailer park, in Dell, Arkansas, is making surrepticious phone calls to a 1-800- talk dirty phone sex operator operating out of her apartment in West Hollywood, California.

And why.

But they are not. The NSA has no interest whatsoever in Joe Bob's nocturnal activities, unless he is building a bomb with the intention of killing other Americans.

They are reviewing the records to see if a pattern can be established that indicates a collusion between two parties who have already been flagged as potential National Security Threats. Such as terrorists cells right here in America.

This is all done in an effort to protect American citizens from being vaporized by those who seek to destroy us, while going about their daily routine of trying to eke out a living for themselves and for their families.

Even the very Democrats that call it domestic spying.

Isn't it ironic that the very thing they are complaining about may one day save their own lives? Except that if they succeed in stopping the NSA, of course, it won't.

But I guess, according to the Democrats, personal privacy is more important than personal security. (try selling that one to any of the surviving members of those lost on September 11, 2001)

Another shining examle of Democratic terminology are the terms, "immigrants" and "undocumented workers". Aside from the fact that many of these so-called "undocumented workers" actually don't work at all, and are a drain on our already strained social security system, as well as our welfare coffers, they are nevertheless, according to the new Democratic dictionary, workers.

These terms should be properly translated by common sense folks as meaning "Illegal aliens" . They are called (now Democrats, try to follow this line of logical reasoning) illegal immigrants by common sense folks because they did something that is against the law. In this case, they entered our country without going through the proper, legal channels.

Democrats want to reward this unlawful behavior by granting them full citizenship rights. But more importantly, they want us to ignore the fact that they are illegal and refer to them simply as "immigrants", a term that real immigrants strenuously object to, as well they should.

Illegal anything should never be rewarded instead of punished, should it? What if we gave prizes to everyone who murdered someone, or robbed someone, or battered someone, instead of putting them in jail? Does anyone think the crime rate would suddenly go down?

So if someone who is attempting to enter our country illegally gets shot by a National Guardsman fo refusing to hearken to the "Halt!" command, I say, so what? They are illegal. They pose a threat to Americas security. Illegal activity must be stopped. If it takes shooting a few of them, that would be a direct consequence of their own decision to break our laws and dishonor our sovreignty. And it might (although not likely) serve as a deterrent to other potential law breakers.

In short, If one breaks the law by attempting to enter our country illegally, that makes them an illegal immigrant. Not just an immigrant. Not an undocumented worker. Not an uninvited visitor.

He is an illegal alien. That term, Democrats, is "Illegal" .

Got it?

See? When Democrats use these words and terms to alter the public's perception about what is really going on in America, I come to the conclusion that they are either very stubborn or very stupid. It's not like they haven't been told, ad nauseum, the real meaning of these words and terms. So those conclusions are the only conclusins that can be drawn, aren't they?

Either stubborn or stupid. Take your pick. I see no third alternative.

Do any of my readers have any other suggestions for words and terms that should go into our Democrat to common sense English dictionary?
