A few weeks ago, we outlined with great specificity how the “new” American Democrat Socialists are trying to erase our past, in order to control our present and future.
Simultaneously, a direct part of their radical agenda involves re-writing our language. The latest example is Berkeley, California. Believe it or not, the City government officially enacted a law to eliminate all gender specific nouns and pronouns from their city code.
The City of Berkeley has replaced them (partial listing) as follows:
Men and Women = People
Men or Women = A single gender
Male of Female = People of different genders
She = They
He = They
Brother = Sibling
Sister = Sibling
Manmade = Human made, Artificial, Manufactured, Machine made, synthetic
Manhole = Maintenance hole
Manpower = Human effort or workforce
Mankind = Person kind
Master = Captain, Skipper, Pilot, Safety Officer, Central
Chairman = Chair or Chairperson
Bondsman = Bonds-person
Craftsman = Craftspeople or artisans
Fireman, Firewoman = Firefighter
Fraternal = Social
Heirs = Beneficiaries
Journeyman = Journey
Maiden = Family
Ombudsman = Ombuds, Investigating Official
Pregnant (woman or women) = Pregnant employees
Repairman = Repairs or Repairer
Salesman = Salesperson or Salespeople
Sorority of Fraternity = Collegiate Greek system residence
Sportsman = Hunters
Watchman = Guards.
Additionally, in all (Berkeley) cases, the masculine pronoun includes the feminine; meaning that words referring to a specific gender will be extended to any other gender. You have to read the before mentioned sentence 100 times and your head will still want to explode.
The effort to change our language and everything that we thought that we knew all of our lives is a strategic approach to change our society and recast it in this radical image.
The radicals want to tie everyone up in knots. If these new English kabuki rules actually go into mainstream effect, you won’t even be able to have a conversation with anyone, without offending someone or breaking some new social “norm.”
For example, say that you arrive to a friend’s home and your friend is pregnant. You can’t that “she is a beautiful pregnant woman.” In fact, you can’t even call her “she” or “pregnant woman.”
It would go something like this:
“They” are a beautiful “pregnant employee.”
This is insanity.
In honor of the “men” opps, I mean, “persons” who walked on the moon, 50 years ago this past week, Neil Armstrong said as he became the first man (“person”) to step foot on the moon:
“That’s one small step for man … One giant leap for mankind.”
This is now deemed to be significantly intolerant and in Berkeley and elsewhere, it’s actually now illegal.
Armstrong would now have to say:
“That’s one small leap for “person” … One Giant leap for “Person kind.”
I don’t know about you, but, I will never play this radical game. Men are men. Women are women. We’re different, but, equal. God made us this way.
The radicals in our country are more emboldened then ever before. They are trying to impose their ridiculous philosophy upon all of us. They think that they get to decide that a gender preference philosophy of governance of their choosing should be put into law for all to follow.
They explain it as gender-neutral. But, it’s not neutral at all. It’s just the opposite. It robs us of our unique equality.
Once again, we must fiercely guard our liberties. The radicals are stealing them from us by implementing one scheme after another, with increasing success. The Berkeley City Council said that “There’s power in language. This is a small move, but it matters,” said Councilman, I mean, Council Member Riegel Robinson.
The fact that they think this is a small move is disturbing. It shows you that they are preparing to do much more. The point the Councilman made with respect to “there’s power in language,” couldn’t be more true.
They know that if they can control what we can and can’t say, this is a significant part of their scheme to transform America from a free market capitalism-based nation to their dream of an American Socialist Utopia.
I want to impress upon you that the Berkeley California City Council passed this new language city ordinance without discussion or comments and it was not considered to be controversial. That is really scary.
The Berkeley City Councilman says it like this:
“Having a male-centric municipal code is inaccurate and not reflective of our reality,” said Robinson. “Women and non-binary individuals are just as entitled to accurate representation. Our laws are for everyone, and our municipal code should reflect that.”
This is a stunning development, yet, it has received very little coverage. This is also a part of the radicals strategy. They are racing to make fundamental and transformational changes official before people even have a chance to know what just hit them.
Even the iconic television/big screen series Star Trek is not immune. The Star Ship Enterprise was initially on a five-year mission to “go where no man has gone before.”
For hundreds of years, it was simply understood that whenever or wherever a masculine noun (man) or a pronoun is used, it simply means man and woman or men and women. For more than 243 years, Americans have always known that when Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence stating “that all men are created equal,” this meant that men and women are created equal.
The radical change artists want us to now believe that “We The People” (I couldn’t resist writing this) are no longer clear about this. That we now need their radical changes to our language in order for all people to feel included.
Before changing the English language, they should have given thought to how challenging it is, since there will never, ever be universal acceptance and that concrete rules such as this have no chance to take root in America in the manner that they desire.
Do our radicals ever consider that we like things just the way they are? They hate our Country. They hate our freedom. They are desperate to change it.
Socialism has failed each and every time throughout all of history. Never once has it succeeded. It can’t. It is fatally flawed. It robs people of their freedom and the very reason to exist and strive to achieve.
Socialism is Venezuela, where the people are presently in the dark and starving. They have eaten the zoos and their own pets to survive.
For reasons too impossible for me to process, this is where our current American Democrat/Socialists want to take America.
Beware, they are achieving great success as of late.
