Les’ Letters to my Grandchildren 004
Letter # 4: Unraveling Twisted Words
From Grandpa Leslie Briggs Wilson December 19, 2011
Dear Grandchildren,
Every day we all walk through a maze of misinformation.
Like spiders spinning their webs to catch gullible flies, the word crafters of this world twist words deceive us. Today I will give you just a few examples; but I’m sure you can add many more.
As you listen to the arguments put forth by politicians, pundants, and news media it will help if you understand what they are really saying. They all use little catch phrases to trap unsuspecting little flies into their webs of deceit.
Listed below is my start on a ‘Democrat Dictionary’. We will publish more entries later. Here are some of their words & phrases and the true definitions:
- “Balanced” = Do everything our way.
- “Bipartisan” = Do everything our way.
- “Cooperate” = Do everything our way.
- “Extremist” = anyone who prefers live babies to dead babies.
- “Out of the mainstream” = anyone who won’t swim in their sewer.
- “Millionaires and billionaires should pay their fair share” = Thou salt covet thy neighbors wealth. If you vote for us, we will give a little of their wealth to you, (and keep a lot for ourselves and our friends).
Republicans often use the word ‘capitalism’ and the phrase ‘free enterprise’ as if they are synonyms. They are not. When capitalists give bribes to politicians to get an advantage over their competitors, they are the enemies of free enterprise. This practice is commonly called ‘crony capitalism’. Both of the current political parties are constantly guilty of this type of legalized corruption. The crooked politicians have made it legal; but, it’s corrupt malfeasance and it is destroying our country.
When the ‘occupy’ communists, socialists, progressives, Islamites, and other wannabe tyrants try to take over the world they like to use the term ‘democracy’ as if it is synonymous with ‘freedom’.
Democracy is NOT freedom. Think about being in a tribe of cannibals when they vote to decide who is going to be lunch. It might be you. Vote once. Be lunch.
Democracy is not freedom. Think about being a Christian in Egypt Egypt
How many Christian Churches Iran Mecca
Democracy without individual rights is mob rule. This is what the ‘occupy’ movement is all about, mob rule.
Your teachers may teach you that our American freedoms have their roots in Rome Greece Italy Greece America
Our American freedom came from Jesus Christ to our founding fathers through men like Samuel Rutherford.
Our founding fathers wrote these words, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” These are individual rights.
Democracy without individual rights is tyranny. Jesus loves individuals.
I am writing these letters to you for the same reasons Paul wrote his letter to the Colossians. Here are some of the reasons for these letters:
- To encourage your hearts.
- So that you can all be knit together in love.
- So that you to may attain all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding Jesus.
- So that the results for you will be: a true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Jesus Christ Himself.
- So that you will come to the full understanding that all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Jesus.
- So that no one will be able to delude you with persuasive argument.
Be courageous in your faith. You can do all things through Christ. He is the only true source of all wisdom, knowledge, and freedom.
Love and Prayers, Grandpa Les
P.S. Spiders are everywhere. Don’t be a fly.
