I have an issue, a peeve, if you will, that I would like to place in the minds for thinking peoples for consideration.
We have, what I consider to be, a language problem here in the USA. That’s not to say that no other country might have this problem, but I don’t know another country like I do this one, so my address is to US.
We have such disregard, even disdain, for our language. We flagrantly misuse our words, discarding their true meaning, often to great effect, and treat them as fluid concepts open to any author’s desired intent.
Some actually laud this as poetic license or authorial freedom, but the effect on some, who know neither the intent nor often even the meaning of the words, can completely change or influence the minds of the exposed.
Consider this example:
If someone does something oafish, that does not necessarily mean that they are an oaf; however, if that same someone is an oaf, then it would be safe to state that anything they did could be oafish. An oaf does oafish things. Oafish things are not always done by oafs.
So, what is my issue? Words have meaning, not such as is capriciously applied by poet, author, or anarchistic, but as is codified in scholarly dictionaries (to exclude the many “urban”, etc dictionaries in use today). Words have the power to convey ideas, and to influence and educate, and also to misinform. We should use words for good, not evil.
It seems that decades ago a decision was made to change the thinking of the people of the USA. We began to be told exclusively about our “democracy”, not our representative republic. We were given many stories about “The Democratic Party”, not the Democrat Party. So it’s no wonder that folks today cry out against the electoral college, they have no idea that it is THE defining characteristic of our Republic, and the only way to have truly fair elections in a country so diverse and spread out as ours. And it is no wonder, when every talking head on TV and every politician of both parties continually misuse “democratic” when talking about things of the Democrat Party, that folks continue to vote for candidates of the Democrat Party, even when the entire party platform describes a government in total contradiction to the Constitution of the United States of America.
So…my true point at last. Can we please stop using” Democratic “ to describe persons, ideas, policies, and things associated with the Democrat Party? They are not Democratic Congressmen, not Democratic policies, Democratic Senators, they are Democrat…
Words make a difference. They influence the actions, understanding, and feelings of people, and their misuse, whether insidious or capricious, affect this nation of people to the point of division and chaos.

May I share a thought?
My old brain is not as quick as it once was, and thankfully, also not as mean spirited. Had I thought of this quickly it would have been colored in haughty distain and spoken as keenly as a knife’s edge.
Recently someone quoted some scientist who claims that, “no mammal, but man, drinks the milk of other mammals”, to justify the premise that there is no nutritional value in dairy products.
The fallacy of this statement is obvious, not only in light of mankind’s true relationship with the creation, for we are not, as science would have us think, only smart animals, but also, as I will show, through the experience of life lived in this world. We were not created a little higher that the animals, but rather a little lower than the angels, and this is an immense consideration.
If any of God’s animal kingdom had been given the intelligence and ability to do so, they too would make cheeses, yogurt, ice cream, whip cream, and butter, and most, if not all, of the animal creation, from mammals to birds to reptiles and fish, will gladly and enthusiastically eat any of these that they can find. Not only so, but even though, in the wild, animals will usually only suckel their own, under the taming and guidance of man, mother cats, dogs, and rabbits will suckel each other’s young, as will sows, goats, sheep, dogs, and all cattle, horses, and any like-bodied animals. I have personally raised baby rabbits and kittens on cows milk, to flourishing health, in the absence of their birth mothers, and have never seen a barn cat turn down a healthy squeeze from the teat of a milking utter.
To think otherwise is to turn a willfully blind eye to the truth of the Bible. God would not have lauded a place described as,”the land of milk and honey”, nor would He have spoken in many passages of the benefits of them if either of these were somehow inconsequential to the nutrition of His creation.
As for me, I will consume dairy to much delight and praises to God for its creation. I will also gladly relieve you of any ice cream cluttering up your freezer.

It has become clear to me, today, that the people of the United States of America have a serious moral problem.
I used to think it was simply that there were too many “stupid” voters, voters who chose a particular candidate, not based on their own research into a party platform or individual candidate’s voting record, but simply on the history of their parents voting, or recommendations from friends, family, or favorite National News anchor, and I’m certain that this is the case for many U.S. citizens still.
But, considering the events of the last two years and taking into consideration the overt intentions, as outlined not only in their party platform, but through all media sources available today, of the Demoncrat Party and all Demoncrat candidates, I can only surmise that if one voted for said party, or any of it’s candidates, both local and national, then one MUST certainly be morally deficient in every “Christian” definition of morality.
I’m really NOT sorry if this offends you!
Voting for any Demoncrat is voting for a party platform that prioritizes the murder of unborn babies, establishes myths about global warming as facts and insists that only the destruction of human society will save the world, insists that every immoral sexual perversion must be, not only acceptible, but socially normal, and completely sets aside all U.S. constitutional rights as superfluous, unnecessary, and inconvenient to the ruling class in the United States today.
This offends ME!
No longer will a soft answer suffice! If you are a Christian you have NO reasonable explanation for voting Demoncrat…none at all! Shame on you! Though I’m certain God’s grace can still rescue you from eternal condemnation, I pity the day of judgement for you, when you must explain why you supported such heinous political and moral positions.
God have mercy on your soul.
