Words Have No Meaning 0

At least, not in Wingnut World:

David Lewis, a 26 year old Tea Party activist believes the man he is mounting a primary challenge against, Speaker of the House Rep. John Boehner (R-OH), is a “socialist.”

In Wingnut World, “Socialist” is just another empty dirty word, something bad to say about one’s opponent.

It has nothing to do with the state’s ownership of the means of production.

Empty words appeal to empty heads.

Afterthought:

Indeed, in Wingnut World, “socialism” appears to have become a synonym of “compassion,” something else to eschewed in that universe.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
