[Rhodes22-list] straight talk - not the express - Political reply to Peter T.

[Tootle]

Peter:

First thing about Garrison Keiller is he is a known 'Progressive'.  I have
defined that term too often but let me remind you of the words:  Liberal,
Marxist, Socialist, National Democrat, Neo-Communist, Rockefeller
Republican, and on and on.

Some people are just born to be good with words.  They become ministers,
evangelist, politicians, story tellers and con men.  Con men are hard to
identify.  They are slick talkers.  Thru slick talk they cloud their purpose
and deceive their listeners.  It is difficult to stand and listen then say
that person is using double talk.

I do not pretend to be brilliant but have learned how to deal with con men
and double talkers.  I stand back and say what did he say?  What is the
meaning of what he is saying?  Do the words that he used really mean what he
said?  Do the words mean anything?

 Garrison Keiller is a fluid, glib story teller.  He is able to in fact be
condescending without the appearance of arrogance.  Often he is able to do
this with voice inflection so that what he says sounds humorous.  He has the
ability to hold up ordinary people to ridicule with the spoken word.  Over
the years those words often have held a hidden message.  That message is his
socialist agenda.

Recognizing and understanding a Marxist agenda is difficult when you have
other things to be doing.  It is easy to start down the slippery slope.  It
is hard to understand that the result is a form of slavery.  Many people
because they are good at heart, believe others who sound like them are also
good at heart when in fact those people’s objective is POWER.

When the power hungry people get power it is never enough, but it is a loss
of freedom for others.  It is slavery all over again.  It is hard for good
people to recognize that the socialist agenda is the road to serfdom.

Addendum:  "Making right choices in gray areas is difficult.  To be aware of
the dilemma is not enough.   There needs to be a moral sensitivity which
remembers to ask the right questions at the right time.  To know what is
good is not enough?  There is a difference between waking up and getting up.
There must be specific decision for the right.  To be sensitive and aware is
good.  To make proper decisions is better."    Paraphrase of Bryan Crenshaw
