I quote also: Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need."<br />http://rense.com/general37/char.htm <br /> Gill Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00632631163777155215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-35868204465388367722017-06-18T05:01:07.317-07:002017-06-18T05:01:07.317-07:00Well written, thank you so much, Carol.

When someone in authority lies and gets challenged about it, they say they 'misspoke'.

But ... there are voices speaking out, on blogs like yours, in the courts (Gina Miller), on social media. Yes, there is too much toxic-speak that peddles fear and hatred. But there are plenty of us who can see what's happening and will stand up and shout from the rooftops to try to stop it. We can - and we will - write and speak and refuse to lie down and conform.

This is the stuff of discourse analysis...I remember it well from living in South Africa, where one man's freedom fighter was another man's terrorist...and you are right! The word immigrant has indeed become paired with 'illegal'. It's an insidious process.Vallypeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309284606572565277noreply@blogger.com
