The Patriot Opinion

A modern day Liberty Tree under which an American Patriot makes a passionate attempt to reignite the smouldering coals of freedom in the hearts of his countrymen. "It does not take a majority to prevail, but an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." -- Samuel Adams

Word Games: "Immigrant Rights"

True Patriots will do well to take note of the words used by liberal activists--especially those in the media.

Rush Limbaugh likes to say that "words mean things". The Left understands this and they go one step further. They say "words mean things--and we say what those things are."

Whoever defines the terms and criteria of the debate wins.

Take the current hubbub surrounding our borders and those who violate them.

According to the media, the pro-illegal alien crowd has been "protesting for immigrant rights".

Excuse me?

What these people are rallying to support has nothing to do with rights, and does not concern immigrants in general. Far from it. It concerns illegal aliens, (also known as criminals) and their blatant violation of our legitimate, legally adopted immigration laws.

They do not have any right to violate our laws or expect aid from American businesses and citizens while doing so.

If we once surrender the terms and use the lingo handed us by the left, we've lost the debate.
