The thing is they know better. The thing is they know exactly what they are doing and why, and some of it — not all – is coordinated. All of it is calculated and planned. They know what they’re doing and they know it’s bad for America.
Talking about the Despicable Democrats. Talking about the fact, and it is a fact, that they continually say they are doing what the American people want when about the best they can reasonably say is they are perhaps doing what some of their supporters want.
So, in fact, when they tell us, those Despicable Democrats do, that what they are doing is what the American people want, at the very best it’s a calculation. They are betting that the mainstream media, Pravda USA, will echo what they say and repeat it in almost an endless loop over and over such that the people listening will believe it as fact. They are purposefully manipulating, or at the very least attempting to manipulate, “the American people.”
Gee, I thought they were supposed to represent us. I thought they were elected to carry out our wishes. I thought their function was to come together as a legislative body, solicit what the populace wants and needs and then work to accomplish that.
I didn’t think it was their job to tell us what they want us to want and then attempt to manipulate us into believing it is what we want.
Silly me!
So a few facts. The first is a very simple one: there is a difference between facts and opinions, or, as taught in freshman composition class, there is a difference between observation and inference. It is one of the first lessons taught in basic rhetoric.
A fact is something empirical, something known or proved to be true. An example would be that 65,844,954 people, according to CNN, voted for Hillary, and 62,979,879 people voted for Trump. Even if these numbers aren’t exactly correct, they are verifiable and so could be accepted as fact.
What’s not a fact is the CNN headline that comes up first in a Google search of “how many people voted for Hillary” which is “It’s official: Clinton swamps Trump in popular vote — CNN politics.” She did beat him in popular vote. That’s a fact. Did she “swamp” him? That’s an opinion. An opinion is a view or judgment not necessarily based upon facts or knowledge.
The most famous line of this is “it depends upon what the definition of is is,” spoken by — you guessed it — a Democrat.
So when we come down to it, lots of things are in play. In regard to the voting, you can’t say that everyone who voted for either candidate actually supported that candidate. Maybe someone voted for one of the candidates simply because they couldn’t stand the other one. Or vice versa. And on and on it goes.
We’ve come into an age of linguistic breakdown, where hyperbole rules and where opinion is passed on as fact simply because someone says it, the mainstream media repeats it, Pravda USA, telling us it is so and desperately attempting to coerce us, to manipulate us into believing what they want us to believe.
Overall and without doubt, what’s going on in the Democratic-led House of Representatives is dangerous to America. Inquiry is good. Honest inquiry is even better. Honest inquiry would look at all aspects of what really happened. Honest inquiry coupled with doing the business America really needs done, like fixing our immigration policies and what’s happening at the border, like enforcing our laws, like dealing with the homeless and the poor and needy American citizens, like working on the National Debt — you know what the real business is — would be best.
But alas, man is by nature selfish and greedy and clearly the Despicable Dems care more for power and personal wealth than for the good of the American people or for America itself.
