Globalization . . . Or Is It?

By

So much talk about globalization these days. The media acts as if this were something new.

Of course many of the media pundits scarcely possess enough collective brain power to blow the nose of a sugar ant . . . even if their collective intelligence power were to be equated with dynamite.

Our vernacular is interlaced with words from numerous languages. Greek, Latin, and so on. So many of the words we use everyday go back to other languages, from so long ago, that people forget whence they came. They take them for granted, thinking the words they use are indeed their own.

Language unites us and divides us, and I would be cautious in proposing any world unity by whatever means. But, a recent discovery online has enriched my vocabulary and brings me a little closer to our former advisary of the cold war. It is ironic that even after the “fall” of communism, and the efforts to make the republics of the old Soviet Union a democracy, Russians would make the American democratic party the butt of a joke. The old adage of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” takes on a bit of a different hue. Russians are hardly known for their ineptitude, as Mendeleev, Tesla, Tchaikovski, and countless others have made contributions to the betterment of humanity.

Now, an unknown Russian has coined a new word that will, from now on, be used in my vernacular with extreme prejudice.

It is a conglomeration of the word “dermo”, a rather colorful expression for excrement, and the suffix of “-krat” from “democrat.” From now on, certain democrats in this country will be known as “dermocrats.” While this new designation may seem a bit extreme or harsh, it is certainly very fitting. Dermocrats such Pelosi and Obama have desecrated our constitution and laws of the land with so much bovine fecal matter they can’t be lumped into any currently existing camp.

So, we have to create something new. If any of you compatriots out there reading the Trout Wrapper agree, then I implore you to take up the “r” in the common use of the most reviled word of your vocabulary.

Hard to imagine that a little “r” can make such a huge difference. What cracks me up about using it, is that it will go largely unnoticed by most people. Color it our newest weapon of subtlety in the daily battle we wage against unseen tyranny.

Globalization of language can have its benefits, as this little example illustrates. This is one import I’ll gladly be making use of from now on.

But that doesn't mean that I’m trading in my old Dodge for a rice burner anytime soon.

The Fix Is In

It's a sad day for freedom-loving Americans, what with the House passage of the heinous health bill (which is not about health at all, but rather poking into and controlling every detail of your life). Sorry to tell you folks, but the fix seems to be in on this one. I've no doubt it will pass the Senate too. Welcome to the unveiling of Totalitarianism 1.0

Start calling your Senators daily. I don't know if that will help, since they'd don't give a damn what you think, but if they are bombarded daily it just might scare them into thinking they will lose their jobs.

Also, continue to call any Congressmen who voted for this blow against liberty and tell them you will actively campaign AGAINST them in 2010.
