Sunday Meditation: Words Mean Something

NO CHOICE FOR YOU!

My husband and I are reading Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. In the Preface, Lewis describes the problem of words losing their commonly-understood and clear meanings. Certainly, if that was a problem 75 years ago when Lewis gave the original BBC radio broadcasts on which the book is based, it is multiplied 100X today in our politically correct and politically charged world.

The degradation of some words is obvious. Gay used to be a term that celebrated joy. In high school I had a role in Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, a comedy about two young women, fresh out of college, on a European tour. It was a delightful romp. I can just imagine what a play of that title today would be. Just the thought of it brings X-rated images and dirty sniggers to mind.

The word "choice" is synonymous with ripping an unborn baby limb from limb in abortion. I can never hear the word in any context today without the chant booming in my head, "My body, my choice." But don't you dare make a choice that offends the liberal left! In their doctrinaire tyranny they scream, "No choice for you!" and mobilize their verbal weapons of mass destruction to annihilate you.

A Transgender Soldier Explains It All For You!

Why Transgender Disorders Cause Problems in the Military

• Medical issues remove them from service for long periods affecting military readiness of their units.
• Discrimination against biological women because because biological men who "transition" have a competitive edge for promotion due to their physical advantage.
• Gender dysphoria has serious psychological effects that increase the tendency to anxiety, depression, and suicide.
• It undermines the primary mission of the military -- to defend the country. Undeployable transgender soldiers are a drain and a threat to military preparedness.

It's time to stop using the military as a lab tool for social experimentation. 

When Social Engineers Play God: Transforming American Medicine

FGF OP-ED 

THORNS AND ROSES 

OCTOBER 30, 2015 

Mary Ann Kreitzer discusses a new type of medicine "transformed" from one that recognizes the human dignity of the individual and aims to protect and preserve his life until true death to one based on cost/benefit analysis that weighs the individual's worth according to his "quality of life" and his benefit to the community.

Gay Pride Parades Get Recruits

San Francisco Gay Pride

NEW IN 'GAY' PARADE: U.S. TROOPS IN UNIFORM

My dad, a Pearl Harbor survivor, must be rolling over in his grave! Is this what he fought for in World War II? Now, not only will gay pride parades feature mostly nude men and women, cross dressers in garish makeup and high heels, floats featuring giant condoms and hip-thrusting obscenities, but....men and women IN UNIFORM? Wow! Not that the military haven't been participating in the parades in various states of dress and undress, but now.... Well, suffice it say, I think my dad would have resigned his commission rather than condone and carry out this policy. (His last duty was as Commander of the Naval Electronics Systems Command. Somehow I can't see him signing off for his officers and enlisted to strut their stuff in uniform.)  But this new policy will no doubt do a lot for recruitment -- at least gay recruitment anyway. Whether it helps military readiness is another question that hasn't really been tested. Is the military really the place to experiment with social engineering?
