Good observations Charles. It seems for individuals and nations alike free will requires morality. Chris on 12/6/2012 9:44:50 AM |
To: Nelson Diez RE: Word search. Charles, Where is REPUBLIC on the list? No one interested in the difference? Why is this not taught in school? Oh I forgot, these are not Public Schools, they are Government Schools. That we are considered a ‘democracy’ and ‘promoting democracy’ throughout the world may be the Left's most substantial accomplishment. At the highest levels of our United States government, including both parties’ presidents, we refer to ourselves as a democracy. We are not. (Sorry, I know that you know) These two forms of government are vastly different, Republic is a rule of law and laws aren't just a majority vote. In fact, laws are to protect the minorities from the abuse of government power. Ergo our Constitution. We have departed the Republic, and we ARE now a democracy; Hooray! now we can vote for "free ice cream for everybody." Democracy is the road to perdition. Do a search of the founding documents: Declaration and Constitution and you will not find democracy mentioned - not once. Best regards, Doug Bell Tampa Doug Bell on 12/6/2012 10:01:16 AM |
The word I despise more than any other in the lexicon: EMPOWERMENT Z on 12/6/2012 10:07:05 AM |
EMPOWERMENT: Giving authority to those who do not deserve it. Z on 12/6/2012 10:08:58 AM |
FISCAL CLIFF GLENN on 12/6/2012 10:32:07 AM |
Several words come to mind: HYPOCRISY: 2 reasons. 1) Our current government and both campaigns were full of it. Obama claiming that he deserves another chance because he failed while businessmen deserved punished because they succeeded. 2) Greece, sitting on huge wealth in natural resources, but going backrupt. And now they will exploit those reseources without any control because of their greed even though socialism and eco-irrationality are bed fellows. LIAR: 90% of what we hear from the press and 75% of what we see in Washington. LETHARGY, SLOTH: The current manifestation of the problem in Greece and the USA. GREED, ENVY, SELF: The underlying problem in the USA, and the foundation of Obama's war against America, Americans, and American culture. As for comments already posted; I like the word EMPOWERMENT, for much the same reasons as the posters hate it. They see it as giving authority to those who don't deserve it and don't know how to use it. (Of course, they did not have that authority when we were more a republic). I see empowerment as given freedom to succeed to those who may or may not use it. My use of the word relates to what made America great: the ability to strive for the American dream. My use does NOT include government handouts or trophies to everyone in the league. I wish our government was about enabling success through hard work instead of buying votes with undeserved generosity that is intended to create slavery of the poor. Bob G on 12/6/2012 10:37:04 AM |

Word of the year should be: "calumnious", Containing or implying calumny; harmful and often untrue; tending to discredit or malign. Paul Lasky on 12/6/2012 1:09:28 PM |
Prevaricate. World leaders transmit fairy tales to a willingly gullible populace as if they were scripting medieval morality plays, leaving us mired in multilayered mendacity. It would be easier to package fog than to sort out reality from all these fictions. Most of us recognize deception, but it is slippery and tough to corral, so we waste a lot of energy trying to extract the truth. Nothing gets solved. Patricia Flynn on 12/6/2012 3:27:41 PM |

Fluke. Since Contraception and birth control pills are to be government issue, it only seems appropriate that her name is pronounced "fluck". What a fluke. Rich on 12/6/2012 4:29:04 PM |
