Language: A Key Mechanism of Control
Newt Gingrich’s 1996 GOPAC memo
As you know, one of the key points in the GOPAC tapes is that “language matters.” In the video “We are a Majority,” Language is listed as a key mechanism of control used by a majority party, along with Agenda, Rules, Attitude and Learning. As the tapes have been used in training sessions across the country and mailed to candidates we have heard a plaintive plea: “I wish I could speak like Newt.”
That takes years of practice. But, we believe that you could have a significant impact on your campaign and the way you communicate if we help a little. That is why we have created this list of words and phrases.
This list is prepared so that you might have a directory of words to use in writing literature and mail, in preparing speeches, and in producing electronic media. The words and phrases are powerful. Read them. Memorize as many as possible. And remember that like any tool, these words will not help if they are not used.
While the list could be the size of the latest “College Edition” dictionary, we have attempted to keep it small enough to be readily useful yet large enough to be broadly functional. The list is divided into two sections: Optimistic Positive Governing words and phrases to help describe your vision for the future of your community (your message) and Contrasting words to help you clearly define the policies and record of your opponent and the Democratic party.
Please let us know if you have any other suggestions or additions. We would also like to know how you use the list. Call us at GOPAC or write with your suggestions and comments. We may include them in the next tape mailing so that others can benefit from your knowledge and experience.

A Question of Racism
What’s behind the vitriol in the opposition to Obama?
By Michael A. Fletcher
……………….
The First Black President
A series exploring the cultural impact of Obama’s White House
“You lie!”
The words cut through the air as President Obama, not eight months into his first term, laid out his signature health care proposal in a prime-time speech to a joint session of Congress.
The outburst by South Carolina Republican Rep. Joe Wilson, challenging the president’s factual assertion that the health care law would not extend coverage to illegal immigrants, drew audible gasps in the room and withering stares from Obama as well as Vice President Joe Biden and then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who were sitting behind the president on the rostrum.
It’s unprecedented for a president addressing Congress to be heckled like a referee at a summer league basketball game. Not surprisingly, the incident still rankles Obama supporters, including some of his closest confidants.
“Somebody should have smacked his a–,” former Attorney General Eric Holder said of Wilson in an interview. “They should have . . . told him to sit the f— down.”
Wilson apologized and was formally rebuked by Congress. Still, for many the incident stands as a prime example of how the unwritten rules dictating public respect for the nation’s chief executive and his family have shifted for the worse since the nation’s first black president took office. Instances of obstruction, scorn and outright insult have mounted over his seven-year tenure.
“There is a unique feeling of fear — hatred is too strong a word — but a feeling of anger, dissatisfaction with this president,” Holder said.
All of which raises a disturbing question: Is racism to blame?
The continuous challenges to the president’s legitimacy and authority offer a troubling counterpoint to the shimmering achievement his election and re-election represent for a nation founded on both the dream of equality and the reality of white supremacy. They evoke a shameful history, when whites routinely addressed blacks by their first names and adult men were called “boy” and otherwise diminished without a second thought, no matter their age or standing.
Any one or two or three of the slights to Obama could be dismissed as insignificant one-offs, the last gasps of a dying order that relegated people of color to a lesser place.
BLACK FOLKS IN AMERICA DON’T NEED SURVEYS, RESEARCH AND SUCH TO TELL US AMERCIA IS A RACIST COUNTRY

But, but…BUT, LOOK OVER THERE>>>>>>>>Bernie BAD THO!
Ha. There is so much nonsense being spewed about Hillary’s computer skills and her “Am I doing this right?” image her supporters are hawking. This is her defense? It is the year 2016 and Hillary cannot operate a desktop computer. So, apparently lacking the technical skills of a six year old, she is the most qualified person in the country for the presidency? Yes, put her in charge of the world, she is “wicked smart.”
This is why I can’t stand Hillary and her fake azz hugging of Potus.

White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide Hardcover – May 31, 2016
by Carol Anderson
As Ferguson, Missouri, erupted in August 2014, and media commentators across the ideological spectrum referred to the angry response of African Americans as “black rage,” historian Carol Anderson wrote a remarkable op-ed in the Washington Post showing that this was, instead, “white rage at work. With so much attention on the flames,” she writes, “everyone had ignored the kindling.”
Since 1865 and the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment, every time African Americans have made advances towards full participation in our democracy, white reaction has fueled a deliberate and relentless rollback of their gains. The end of the Civil War and Reconstruction was greeted with the Black Codes and Jim Crow; the Supreme Court’s landmark 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision was met with the shutting down of public schools throughout the South while taxpayer dollars financed segregated white private schools; the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 triggered a coded but powerful response, the so-called Southern Strategy and the War on Drugs that disenfranchised millions of African Americans while propelling presidents Nixon and Reagan into the White House.
Carefully linking these and other historical flashpoints when social progress for African Americans was countered by deliberate and cleverly crafted opposition, Anderson pulls back the veil that has long covered actions made in the name of protecting democracy, fiscal responsibility, or protection against fraud, rendering visible the long lineage of white rage. Compelling and dramatic in the unimpeachable history it relates, White Rage will add an important new dimension to the national conversation about race in America.

It’s time for some of these people to be charged and jailed.
WHY ARE THESE WHITE FOLKS SO
ANGRY?
That BLACK MAN in the oval office.
Bad DNA + herd mentality + lack of education + low intelligence + low self esteem + God knows how many other things we could name. No simple answer despite their simple mindedness. And, yeah, a black guy is POTUS. In their view, black men are not supposed to aim higher than the NBA or the NFL (but not QB, that’s a white guy’s job.)
I left out criminal tendencies. Some of these people just want to engage in criminal activity, but can only do it as part of a herd.
Liza, you nailed it. Some of these folks just want to hurt people.
They do, that is exactly what they want to do. No one wants to talk about this as a motive, however.

Our President yesterday:
At least these folks were civil. But how many of them will actually listen and UDNERSTAND that they need to stop voting against their own best interest in order to have a fair shot. Stop & look how far they’ve come under leadership of a president who delivers and not just talk,
REPOST so we can read along and LISTEN to PBO from his own lips.
