Terminology to the Leftist is very important when it comes to altering public perception on issues that stand in stark contrast to the positions held by Progressives. For instance, when it comes to taxation, Republicans will always use the word “tax” while Democrats will pussyfoot around the word, careful not to use the offensive language in lieu of other more tender terms like “mandatory recompense” or “government revenue.”
While the words used are less important that the resulting blissful ignorance that is associated with the terminology, Libs nevertheless practice the use of these terms as a nearly flawless involuntary reaction to any question that they deem “too hot for primetime.” When any question is floated, Leftists’ brains immediately begin tallying the words in the question itself, weighing the dangerous positions that could be taken in reference to their rhetorical value and ultimately deciding upon an evasive path of least resistance that will allow them to “skate” on the substance. You could see it every single time Hillary Clinton was asked any question about any subject. The words were carefully chosen, the breaths between words and thoughts measured appropriately and the resulting answer either contained so much loftiness as to be irrelevant, or it never actually answered the question. Of course, the mainstream media is perfectly fine with that aspect, for it assures that their candidate remains viable through a diversionary practice as old as Socialism.
Much of these old school Liberal tactics originated right in the heart of Leftist territory: California. Representative Jackie Speier of the Left Coast was being interviewed in friendly territory on MSNBC when she was asked a question about the recent terrorist attack on the children who attended the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester Arena. True to Progressive form, the San Francisco Liberal opted to invoke the old “lone wolf” narrative in order to dull the Conservative argument that these Muslims are committing these acts of terror in concerted maneuvers, showing organization and expert networking of communications toward different outlier groups around the globe. Liberals do not want the public to be aware that ISIS, al-Qaeda, Hamas, etc., etc., are reaching out through mass networks of sleeper cells across the Earth to instill their terror. Their story for these attacks is dependent on their abilities to confer to the viewing public that the incidents are not coordinated, that they are isolated, anomalous, lone-wolf acts based on propaganda that is happened upon coincidentally by these young and confused youths.
Speier went on to make some spectacularly ignorant statements about the reasons behind why these cowards (our words, not hers) choose the path that they have chosen.
Only a liberal from the left coast could come up with such a rediculous statement.
I will protect myself. They can stay out of my path.
And who’s fault I’d that ?
I loved it, it helped us to pay for food and house and education.
GO AWAY.

Bob Zahn

Quit twisting facts you Russian operative douche bags.
Yes, I DO remember how the Bush tax cuts helped the middle class…As a matter of fact, I was one of the ones who was helped. Because of the Bush tax cuts, the MIDDLE 20% of wage-earners paid an average of $1180 less in taxes the first year, than they would have without the cuts. Now that may not sound like much to some folks, but that money represents a badly needed car repair that might not have happened. I represents school clothes for the kids, or maybe a much-needed family vacation for a family that never had one. At the same time these cuts were enacted, the “earned income credit”, and the “per-child tax credit” went into effect, so you had and still do have many middle-class tax payers who not only get back at tax time everything that’s withheld through the year, but also much extra money due to the earned income, and per-child credits. Not only that, but these cuts spurred the economy, resulting in 52 straight months of job growth in America, and I don’t mean low-paying part time jobs, either. I’m talking about high-end jobs with good perks and benefits. Any notion that the Bush cuts didn’t help the middle class is an outright lie.
