By “Pisses”?

Wonder if it has something to do with the gas water and electric company answer machines giving us 10 different language choices, maybe they should add one for political language?

I bet I hate it more than you do. Pisses me off a whole bunch too.

But, thanks to GrammaConcept, we know the authors of this piece at least used the correct words to describe what’s been coming out of these criminal mouths for far too many years now…

“a psychedelic experience hallucinatory, trippy, dream-like, mind-bending, mind-altering, mind-expanding, mind-blowing, bizarre, surreal.”

Yup..that’s a start.

I agree.  The word game has been a major curse of this political age.  The words become tools to use and manipulate.  Common meanings are turned on their head, and red herring arguments over the meaning of words ensue.  The common denominator becomes that no one has to stand by their word because the meaning of the word can be changed at a later date as the situation merits.  Sadly, this practice seems to come from all quarters.  I would love to say it was just neo-conservative republicans, its not, they are the undisputed champions of this kind of word play, but all parties get into it.  The first time I remember being acutely aware of this was Bill Clinton trying to argue that “sexual relations” somehow excluded blowjobs.

Its things like this that give me the nausea and dizziness of being too-long on a roller-coaster.  One slowly realizes that the very fabric of law and society (words)is being torn apart by this endless word play that essentially makes discourse meaningless.

Let me say this slowly.The executive cannot appropiate funds.Get off your rhetorical ass and cut the funding.One more time.CUT THE FUNDING.

Oh, c’mon----you can’t built an empire without bases around the world----why even the Romans knew that and they had a Pax Romana for 100 years.  The USA has hardly started and besides its their turn now!!!!

C’mon, Jim Webb, a ‘permanent base’ is the level at which republican politicians operate, it represents the nadir of human morality, below which no sentient being can sink. It is the negative standard established by the Bush Cabal, giving the nation the certainty that any and all future administrations will rise and operate above what we have all suffered these past seven+ years.

It is the depth we can look back on, come January 2009, with fear and loathing, and collectively swear,
‘Nevermore, Nevermore’.

in the introduction here describing the answers received from ‘officials’:.....

psychedelic
adjective
1 a psychedelic experience hallucinatory, trippy, dream-like, mind-bending, mind-altering, mind-expanding, mind-blowing, bizarre, surreal.

Yup.

Why do our politicians insist on defining and re-defining every word in the English language to further their own political agendas? I hate this practice so much.
