How to Speak Democrat

(David Mansdoerfer) – Rhetoric – the art or study of using language effectively and persuasively. Below, I will translate typical liberal Democrat rhetoric for the common everyday U.S. citizen.

Revenue: Taxes

Used in a sentence: Democrats plan to increase revenue (taxes).

Immigration Reform: Amnesty for all

Used in a sentence: Democrats plan to protect America’s borders by enacting legislation that promotes immigration reform (amnesty for all).

Equal Opportunity: Equal Outcome

Used in a sentence: Democrats want to ensure every kid has equal opportunity (equal outcome) by forcing them to attend a government sponsored school.

Education Reform: Status Quo

Used in a sentence: Democrats support education reform (the status quo) by allowing teacher unions to bankrupt our school system and protect bad teachers.

Energy Independence: Gas prices
Green energy: Unemployment

Used in a sentence: Democrats plan to increase America’s energy independence (gas prices) by investing in green energy (unemployment).

Diplomacy: Fairy dust

Used in a sentence: Democrats plan to use diplomacy (fairy dust) to convince Iran to stop developing nuclear weapons.

Oversight: Regulation

Used in a sentence: Democrats want to increase federal oversight (regulation).

Job creation: Government spending

Used in a sentence: Government wants to focus on increasing job creation (government spending).

Health Care Reform: Voodoo

Used in a sentence: Democrats legislated health care reform (voodoo) that was supposed to magically bring health care costs down.

Card Check: Mandated union membership

Used in a sentence: Democrats want to enact card check (mandated union membership) so that taxpayer money can be used to help get them elected.

Stimulate: Control

Used in a sentence: Democrats want to stimulate (control) the economy.

As made clear above, liberal rhetoric is generally code words that cover up their true intentions – to increase the size of government, taxes and take away personal liberty. Next time you hear any of this poorly conceived rhetoric, do your liberal friends a favor and give them the actual definition.
