Today, President Obama proclaimed that the fence along our border with Mexico is "basically complete." I am not making this up.

I don't know about you, but I, for one, plan to embrace his linguistic strategy wholeheartedly.
Let's say it's your turn to wash the dishes. You rinse, maybe, one plate. It's time for you to announce that washing the dishes is "basically complete."
Trying to lose 20 pounds? Well, if you leave one of those three doughnuts on the plate tomorrow morning -- say it with me -- your diet is "basically complete." Congrats, slim.
The best application, however, is to use Obama's newspeak against the federal government itself. The IRS says you owe $20,000 this year? Send 'em a check for $500, and tell them your payment is "basically complete." Actually, if you try that one, there's a good chance you'll see a completed fence, every day, for three to five years.

Assassinating terrorists in one thing. Assassinating the English language is another. I don't mind presidents who disagree with me about policy. That's okay. But I don't like it when my president lies so blatantly and badly that it's actually insulting to my intelligence.
The Orwellian assault on this topic started years ago, when advocates for illegal aliens began deriding calls for enforcement of current laws as "anti-immigrant."
ReplyDelete"The wall is basically complete." They should ask the Border Patrol agents how complete the wall is and not a bureaucratic that wouldn't know a wall from a pretty little picket fence.
ReplyDeleteI think most people are "anti-illegal alien", "anti-criminal", "anti-human smuggler", "anti-drug runners", "anti-identity thief" & "anti-terrorist". An ILLEGAL alien is a criminal and not an immigrant.
An "immigrant" must be considered anyone that migrates here legally through, and abides by, the US immigration policy. I think most would admit they are PRO-Immigrant when the person has followed the rules and continues to be a law-abiding, hard-working, resident.
This"complete" hogwash is going to figure largely in the next election. Everybody knows we don't have enough bona fide American workers,(tongue in cheek). Just ask Glenn Spencer who lives on the Arizona border, the illegals cross night and day, non stop. Areas of no fence exist for miles.
