#Ace of spades hq trial#
Tuesday and of course the big story is the impending verdict in the trial of Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin over his involvement in the death of a black suspect - whose name will not be mentioned by me - who expired while resisting arrest. The Morning Report - 4/20/21 - Ace Open Blog
Post contains 391 words, total size 4 kb. I shudder to think what is coming tomorrow! If funds earmarked for X are used for Y, with the argument that X=Y, then we have arrived at the end game of our republic and its carefully crafted limits (hah!) on spending.īut it is the social language that may do us in. His example of the simple and obvious word "infrastructure" being twisted and hammered and manipulated to mean "I want to spend money this way, therefore it is infrastructure" is an ominous signal that even the lax standards of our legislature are being destroyed.

What does "equity" mean in a pluralistic society? Legally mandated financial equity? Sexual equity? Physical equity?Īre we a few years removed from legal mandates that require everyone to be the same financially, on pain of confiscation? Or perhaps a legal mandate to date all comers, including that oh-so-feminine linebacker above? Or maybe everyone shall, by law, be average height and weight?Īs OregonMuse pointed out recently, language is being manipulated for political ends like never before. We have prodded and snipped and trimmed the noble goals and laudable results of our founders' political philosophy in the same way. Why the weasel words, if not to force ever more tortured language upon us and to elevate a psychiatric disorder to celebratory heights? No, we must call him a woman, or even more ridiculously a "trans-woman." What is that? Either we accept the insanity of a snap of the fingers and Poof! He is a she, or we don't. No longer can we call the 6'3" 250 pound team handball player a man pretending to be a woman.
The slaughter of the English language on the altar of political correctness and "inclusiveness" serves a darker purpose: the compression of acceptable thought into narrow pathways through normal discourse.
