What does it matter whether we call someone who breaks the law to enter the country an “illegal alien” or an “undocumented immigrant”? What’s the difference between a Christmas tree and a “holiday tree”? Doesn’t global warming pose the same threat to our civilization regardless of whether or not we rename it “climate change” or more recently, “the climate crisis”? Why quibble over semantics?

    When people describe a distinction as “just semantics,” they mean to dismiss it as trivial. But how many of those people know what the word “semantics” means? 

    Political correctness is like a man attempting to give himself a nickname. Political correctness does not merely mask the harsh realities to which clear language refers; it actually contradicts the underlying meaning of words, thrusting culture through the looking glass.

   As you can tell from my blog, I’m not political correct. I give the people what they want to whether they like it or not. 

    Some defenders of political correctness have admitted that they use language to manipulate reality, but they maintain that their conservative opponents do the very same. 

    Sometimes, I can get myself into trouble because I’m not afraid to tell it like it is. Some people are easily offended by what I say. Some may not like what I say because I pull no punches. I will not sugarcoat the truth for anybody, If you are offended, that’s your problem; so cry me a river.

   Traditionally, our society has frowned on lying. We have believed that “the truth shall make you free.” Yet in this political correctness society we live in, they consider the truth destructive and lies compassionate. If words can define reality, it isn’t even lying at all.

   Who cares if you call a poor black man “black” or “African-American” when neither moniker will help him to escape generational poverty?

    For the politically correct, conservative speech is violence, and leftist violence is speech. Sounds like the book, “1984” doesn’t it? 

    Conservative reacted, as they always have in the face of politically correct aggression, by doubling down on their support for “free speech.” They opposed all forms of “censorship” and to the leftist “snowflakes” who seek safe spaces from harsh realities by refusing to engage in the marketplace of ideas. 

   James Madison described this system as: What is government itself but the greatest of all reflection on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. 

   Donald Trump is like liver and onion. You either like or you hate him. He has been a voice to the American people against our corrupt government in Washington from those on the Left to the Rhino Republicans. But because of who he is and his tactic they finds him offensive and to some a joke. They cannot fathom him to be the one to take on the system. They cannot take him seriously because some sees him as part of the system that they hate. 

    It goes to show that God can use anyone to be a voice for the people. Some you may not approve of or even believe. You too can be a voice! 

   In this blog and the next 2 weeks blog as well, I will so how anyone can be a voice. It doesn’t matter who you are. It doesn’t matter what is in your past. May I be a voice for the American people with my blog. I will continue speaking out against the injustice of our corrupted government and against political correctness. If you are offended by what I say in person or in my blog, cry me a river. I’ll tell like it is! Take it or leave it!! Stay tune for part 2 of this series on “Be a Voice” next week.
