‘V for Vendetta’ is the latest example of the lefts love affair with multi-syllable words.


Since the left long ago stopped searching for truth in their vain and simple relativism, policies and issues are gone and replaced with catchy words. In 2000 we were told how Bush lacked gravitas while Gore having served as Vice President exhibited the quality. In 2004 we were told Bush lacked nuance while Kerry exhibited an understanding of the issues as no man before. A trend is developing here and it is easy to see. Since the left are intellectually bankrupt they resort to labeling their opponents with the weakness of their own candidate and party. Bush flew a very dangerous jet which had one of the highest crash rates during the Vietnam War while Gore was studying at college. Yes Bush did not see combat during the war, but that is true of most people who served the military during this time period. During the debates Gore was having make-up altered and switching suit styles to become more of an alpha male, whereas Bush stayed the same throughout. Gore came across as an insecure clown while Bush exhibited a stoic manner. It was Bush’s gravitas and Gores lack of it, which compelled the left to use the word. Worked on the ignorant left, yet the intellectually honest saw through it. Enter that intellectual giant of a man, John Kerry. A man so nuanced he came to declare the terrorists should be treated as nothing more then a police matter, such as dealing with a drug pusher or a petty theft. It did not matter to Kerry that we face an Islamofascist enemy who have declared war on our western civilization and demand nothing short of Muslim rule over the entire world. The left cannot stand the religious right for standing on moral principles, yet have fallen in love with this enemy who fights us in the name of their oppressive take on Islam. Just imagine how the feminists and gays have also fallen in love with this misogynistic gay oppressing enemy. They have lost all ability to reason in their hatred of this country of ours. It is really a hatred of them selves and denial stemmed from their lack of intellectual honesty. Bush was pretty clear about the enemy is evil and will be killed. Clearly enough nuance for any honest person.

We now arrive at 2005 and the left have lost the election and must come up with a new word. This is a party all about multi-syllables as opposed to anything of substance. Then I saw it. The word for 2005 and the run up to the 2006 mid term election would be Liberty. I suppose after that two syllable train wreck they decided it was time to move back to three syllables, because lets face it Gore did win that election, if not for those evil Supreme Court justices who rigged the win for Bush. This was a brilliant word for the left to come up with as evidenced by the number of people on the right who have caught the liberty bug, yet how many people really understand what liberty is? How was liberty defined at the birth of our nation as opposed to the Jacobin French, this is after all America and not France. More on this in a moment, for now lets look at this new silly movie called ‘V for Vendetta’. Hollywood reporter John DeFore writes,
Quote:
If the film's look and feel refuse to flee from the real world, its dialogue takes every chance to connect to it. We are told about the recent past, that "America's war grew worse and worse, and eventually came to London." Hot-button terms like "rendition" are sprinkled about; dissidents are handled as in a third-world dictatorship; and our hero (who calls himself V) lectures citizens who have surrendered their liberties to a government that promised to protect them from terrorism.


It is interesting how the left creates a dystopian brave new world and lectures the people who suffer within this world of liberty lost. Lost on the transgender Wachowski who produced this film is the arbitrary nature of his view on liberty through the lens of relativism gives rise to these brave new worlds of chaos and destruction of the human spirit. His moral equivalence will not tolerate mores and the underlying moral absolutes which forms a healthy society. In his world being transgender is normal and healthy, whereas anyone who would declare America has a right to defend herself against an enemy seeking her destruction is a right wing fanatic. Also lost on him is his view while thought to be nuanced is nothing more then saying terrorists good and America bad. Just another pathetic example of a miserable self-loathing person filled with hatred.

How exactly did people at the birth of our nation view liberty and how must we begin to view it again? Alexis De Tocqueville in ‘Democracy in America’ begins with an excerpt from a speech. “Make no mistake about what we ought to understand by our independence. There is in fact a corrupt sort of liberty, the use of which is common to animals and men, and which consists in doing whatever they like. This liberty is the enemy of all authority; it is impatient of all rules. With it, we become inferior to ourselves. It is the enemy of truth and peace, and God believed it his duty to rise against it! But there is a civil and moral liberty that finds its strength in union, and which is the mission of power itself to protect: this is the liberty we must defend in all circumstances and if necessary risk our life for it.”1 We are currently at war against not only the Islamists, but their comrades in arms the far left who have corrupted liberty. Tocqueville further writes, “Religion looks upon civil liberty as a noble exercise of man’s faculties, and on the world of politics as a realm intended by the Creator for the application of man’s intelligence. Free and powerful in its own sphere and satisfied with the place ascribed to it, religion knows that its empire is more secure when it reigns through its own intrinsic strength and dominates the hearts of men without assistance. Liberty looks upon religion as its comrade in battle and victory, as the cradle of its infancy and divine source of its rights. It regards religion as the safeguard of mores, and mores as the guarantee of law and surety for its own duration.”2

Liberty is something the left has corrupted and lack an understanding of. Just as Bush had gravitas and was nuanced, the left do not seek liberty, rather they would sacrifice it for their warped view of the world. I have a four syllable recommendation for the left and they ought to try it in 2008.

Morality


Might not win them an election, but at least it is a step up from two and three syllables.


1. Tocqueville, Democracy in America p.48 notes-Mathers Magnalia Christi Americana, vol. 2, p.13. The speech is that of Winthrop, who was accused of having acted arbitrarily as a judge. After he made the speech from which I have taken this excerpt, however, he was acquitted amidst applause, and he was still reelected as governor of the state. See Marshall, vol. 1 p. 166
2. Tocqueville, Democracy in America p.49

De Tocqueville could well be describing the Hollywood of today

After reading this review of the garbage movie, my take is V is for Vile, Venomous, Vituperation.

V for Vapid
By Don Feder
FrontPageMagazine.com | March 20, 2006

"V for Vendetta," which opened on Friday, combines all of the celluloid left?s paranoid fantasies ? Christian conservatives in charge of a brutal regime, the war-on-terrorism as an excuse for the suppression of civil liberties, homosexuals harassed and killed by conservative Christians, a pedophile priest (who works miter-in-had with the regime) and an attack blamed on terrorists that's really a right-wing conspiracy.

All that's missing is a Halliburton connection. For that, we'll have to wait for "V ? The Return."

"V" opens in Britain circa 2020. America has succumbed to plague, civil war, and chaos. (Bush?s fault, no doubt.) The UK is ruled by a fascist regime with strong Christian overtones ? the party?s slogan is "Strength through Unity; Unity through Faith." Its symbol is a stylized cross, and its enforcers are a quasi-religious police.

As the film opens, Britain's most popular commentator is explaining how America's fall was ordained by its embrace of "degeneracy," as flecks of saliva fly from his mouth.
