QOTD

Caroline Glick in the Jerusalem Post:
Over the past generation, the Left has commandeered our language. It has inverted the terminology of human rights, freedom, morality, heroism, democracy and victimization. Its perversion of language has made it nearly impossible for members of democratic, human rights respecting, moral societies to describe the threats they face from their human rights destroying, genocidal, tyrannical enemies. Thanks to the efforts of the international Left, the latter are championed as the victims of those they seek to annihilate. . .

This endless circle of demonization and aggression will continue to widen and escalate until our political leaders and our intellectual elite reclaim our language from those on the terror-abetting Left. True, our reclamation of our language will not go unopposed. But if we do not reassert our right to describe objective reality, our inability to explain why we are right and our detractors serve evil will be our undoing.
Agreed.

Postmodern leftism is a suicidal meme.

It is a cancer eating away at very foundations of The West -- its inheritance of Greek thought (think about how many of its concepts attack those memes - deconstruction, language perversion, multiculti, variable "truth").

It is a guarantee that we will either collapse under its decay directly or collapse under attack from our external mortal enemies.

Postmodern Leftism Delenda Est.

Hrmmm....

Anyone else see what's wrong with this sentence?

Anyone?

Anyone?

Bueller?

I believe what we need to do is "reclaim our political leaders and our intelectual elite from the terror-abetting Left", first... n'est pas?
