A DIALECTIC

SAY WHAT YOU MEAN AND MEAN WHAT YOU SAY - THE PERFECT FORMULA FOR INTEGRITY. RIGHT? READING WHAT COLUMNISTS AND REPORTERS WRITE OFTEN BLOWS THIS ADAGE RIGHT OUT OF THE WATER, BECAUSE WORDS CAN BE USED TO DELIBERATELY OBSCURE THE MEANINGS BEHIND THEM. WRITING ABOUT HOW WE SHOW GOD'S LOVE IN THE WORLD, A WOMAN COLUMNIST SUGGESTED THAT WE "GIVE SERIOUS THOUGHT TO HOW OUR LIFESTYLES IMPACT CREATION." (WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?) "ENERGY CONSERVATION AS WELL AS PURCHASING AND EATING HABITS" (LIKE WHAT?) "BECOME MATTERS OF FAITH, NOT POLITICS." (RELIGIOUS FAITH OR JUST BELIEF?) "RESPONDING TO THE NEEDS OF OTHERS, ... ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE BORDER, IS A WAY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE GIFT OF DIVINE LOVE." (SUPPORT WHAT'S WRONG?) THESE GENERALIZED STATEMENTS, WITHOUT SPECIFIC DETAILS, ARE NOT MATTERS OF FAITH, RATHER THEY ARE PURE, LIBERAL, LEFT-WING IDEOLOGY PRETENDING TO BE MORAL CHOICES FOR THE GREATER GLORY AND HONOR OF GOD. HER WORDS ARE FOGGED WINDOWS TO HER PROGRESSIVE SOUL.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE FROM A LONDON REPORTER REGARDS ABORTION. AGAIN STRAIGHT TALK IS REPLACED BY CLOUDED (EUPHEMISTIC) LANGUAGE AS THE QUESTION IS ASKED WHETHER A WOMAN'S "RIGHT TO PHYSICAL AND MENTAL INTEGRITY INCLUDES HER RIGHT TO TERMINATE HER PREGNANCY." INTEGRITY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LIBERAL POLITICS (WHEN ONE DOES NOT SAY WHAT ONE MEANS) AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH MURDER. BUT THOSE WHO CHOOSE OBFUSCATION OVER CLARITY NEVER ADMIT THAT WHETHER A FETUS IS HUMAN OR A CHILD IS A FETUS, IT IS IRRELEVANT BECAUSE THEY WILL KILL IT ANYWAY IF THEY CHOOSE.

MILLIONS OF ABORTIONS ARE THE FACTS WRITTEN IN BLOOD EVEN THOUGH MILLIONS OF WOMEN HAVE DIMMED THEM BY THE SMOKE SCREEN OF LANGUAGE. FAITH, POLITICS, INTEGRITY - THREE WORDS WITH MANY HIDDEN MEANINGS.
