The Liberty Lexicon: Winning the argument with one word, Part I

Framing the argument is a critical aspect of the Individualist-Right winning the virtual cold war with the Collectivist-Left. We are in a war for the soul of the country and for freedom. At present it is a virtual cold war, with the Left is on the offensive using their inherent collectivist mindset to their advantage to try to set the terms of debate. It is critically important to recognize that in every conflict one side will develop new tactics and weapons that will be countered and adopted by the other in order to maintain parity. Such is the case with our present situation with the Collectivist-Left using certain words to their advantage as the weapons of the virtual war. Therefore it is imperative that we of the Individualist-Right develop and use the proper words in this virtual cold war. While this has been an ongoing project, beginning the write-up process had two inspirations. One the article Coming soon: Proper Narrative, LLC from JD Rucker . The other from Glenn Beck...

The partial lock-downs failed to work as advertised. It’s time to end them

The empirical data, as well as antibody studies, show that the partial lockdowns need to be concluded as soon as possible. It’s becoming quite clear that the partial lock-downs are doing far more damage than they are preventing. The case is being easily made to put an end to them.

Doctors  that made the point that the partial lock-downs aren’t working as advertised and that they are doing more harm than good, along with a Wall Street Journal report that examined the data and came to the same conclusion:  Do Lock-downs Save Many Lives? In Most Places, the Data Say No. We could also cite the column from our own medical expert  Dr. Ted Noel  in his column  I’m tired of SWAG (‘Scientific’ Wild-Assed Guess) directives : There is only one rational approach to take now. Open up America for business. … This ...

Winning the War of Words: The Authoritarian Socialist Left Is Anti-Liberty and Not Just Anti-Gun

  Anti-liberty Leftists have an unhinged view that certain inanimate objects are evil and dangerous, so when the debate is framed as pro-gun/anti-gun, the subliminal argument becomes pro-evil/anti-evil   Conservatism ,  Culture ,  Democrats ,  Guns and Crime ,  Leftism ,  Neo-Marxism   Many of the pro-freedom community don’t realize that we place ourselves at a severe disadvantage when the debate over civil rights is framed as  ‘pro-gun/anti-gun’ . Since our principles of liberty and individual rights are based in common sense, their defense is pretty straightforward and forthright. Not so with the authoritarians of the anti-liberty left. These are people who prioritize governmental power and controlling people’s lives and property – if not owning it outright. Such people have always been on the wrong side of history, so deception and lies are all part of what they do on a daily basis. “Those who are capable of tyranny are capable of perjury ...
