Hear him yourself. Pick up his monologue (with his trained seals squealing in the background as usual) at 2:14.

"If I've Insufficiently Debased Myself, PLEASE Tell Me"
I was speaking with two different friends about the Mark Halperin commentary.
And that led to one more deeper thought: What if the whole incident were staged in order to set a new Politically Cowering standard by example?
The danger, my friends, is that this is the next step to establishing doublethink. Statism is ramping up. Here's how I updated my last post.
Mark Halperin's excessive obsequiousness in apologizing to Obama suggests he knows how much danger he is in. It's a performance that stirs memory of the fearfulness of subjects under the Soviet Union.
His overwrought display of contrition for daring to say a belittling word of our president -- not our dictator yet -- seems staged. It's as if Mr. Halperin is helping set the new high standard for decorum towards any president of these United States. If that were his intent, then we may be rapidly heading down the road to complete political censorship reminiscent of the life and death matter it was in the Soviet bloc.
This, my friends, is why we must speak out boldly now, as Americans have always done, as I have done with my headline. Were the entire dextrosphere to agree that Obama is indeed behaving like a dick, especially in forcing Mr. Halperin to go through this unseemly spectacle of obsequious contrition for a minor disparagement of this very dangerous marionette currently occupying the White House, maybe we can buy some more time.
- The manner in which he got in hot water,
- his subsequent indefinite suspension by MSNBC for words much tamer than those used about GW Bush on the same station,
- and then his obsequious taking on all the "blame" for stating with what half the country sees.

Being a Complete Dick: WH Cool with Halperin's Suspension
Mark Halperin Suspended Indefinitely from MSNBC
If someone posts a list of people and their comments about Bush that were more rotten, yet MSNBC did nothing to the speakers, I'll happily link them here.
I'd like to add the examples to my Statist Tools: Inconsistencies log (found in my sidebar).
What authoritarians cannot tolerate is the truth spoken of them.

"For the Children"
Q: How can a Leftist/Fascist/Statist any longer say a socialist program is "for" the children (rather than for power-mad politicians, corporate cronies, agency heads, bureaucrats and union thugs) and keep a straight face?
A: Orwellian "double-think" let's them pull the lie off with grace. They do it much in the same manner that Bill Clinton would be convincing. He explained how, in his double-thinking, that "it all depends on what your definition of is is," allowed him to be believable as he lied.
Call them on it. "The word you left out of your sentence is enslaving."
The Statist smoothies are saying: "It's for the children."
The Statist monsters are thinking: "It's for enslaving the children."
At this point in time, with the deficit spending and the mounting debts, the Statists are dead set on a course of enslaving our children with the debt used to keep them and their cronies at the top and in luxury.
Stop letting them pee in your collective ears and convincing your idiot neighbors that it is only rain.
FIGHT THE LYING BASTARDS. CALL THEM OUT ON THIS AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY.

Incrementals -- part 3: Fight to Reclaim Our Language [Updated]
Good news friends.
This evening I heard a promotional ad by Dennis Prager for his radio talkshow.
In it he stated that he bristles when he thinks of how the Left has staked claim to the word progressive. And that it makes it sound as if any who oppose them are anti-progressive. [The following is corrected from before as I promised I'd do.]
Really Dennis? You are still dancing around to their tune. I know you are not really advocating abandoning our not always accurate label (though we could choose a new one for good reasons).
But you are not making the strong case as to why the Left has no legitimate right to call themselves progressive. It is for the same reasons that they had no legitimate claim to the word liberal (which once, long ago, only meant "pertaining to freedom").
The Left has been engaging in language theft my whole life. It's a form of agit-prop meant deliberately to put their opponents off balance. Sadly this one tactic seems to keep some off balance for far too long and all too easily. Jeesh!
I have no faith that you'll ever hear this, but here is what some long departed great uncle would say to you if he could:
Sigh. Well no matter. At the least, Dennis Prager has somehow either caught wind of the meme I started earlier this week or he's independently arrived at the same conclusion -- conservatives need to do something! Sadly, in my view, Mr Prager has chosen a far more difficult way to go to war.
Dennis, you didn't get my memo? It's a lot easier to achieve what you want than you currently are suggesting. We don't have to continue to live with the repressive, regressive Left's dishonest theft of the word progress.
What I do in print is write"Progressives" Incrementals when I refer to them. It's a simple thing really. But it has real meaning as I've explained elsewhere. Don't ask me how I know that this word is important -- I can tell you already sense it too Mr. Prager. I'm just a little blog where maybe a handful of friends will see the idea and run with it on their little bigger blogs. From what I surmise you have the attention of more than 5 million ears each week. You could make a dent in Leftist ownership of "progress" if you wanted to.
Here is what you can do on radio. When referring to them, you can say "the 'Progressives' -- no the Incrementalists actually." And then go on and use the word Incrementalists, and Incremental theft of personal liberty a little at a time, and so on as you refer to them and their actions. Then never use the word progressive again in that session of your talkshow when referring to them. Only use progressive when speaking of wanting real progress, like in job creation, and re-stabilizing our monetary system, and improving home life and restoring traditional values.
When they challenge you -- and you know they will katzenjammer like mad -- point out that the only progress that is of importance to an Incrementalist is what permits him to gain power. Power that is totally self-serving and with which they, as a group, have been demonstrably incompetent. Then go on to demonstrate all the ways it is true. Do you think you have enough material to show that they are regressive, repressive, postmodernist, misanthropic and overall power-mad? Yes, I thought so. So do it!
To make progress against the growing tyranny, do NOT let the Left stay in charge of the narrative. You must fight to reclaim the language.
Oh, and for those who will accuse me of attacking Mr Prager, this demonstrates that I know how he can fire up his delivery quite satisfactorily when his head is screwed on right, and I commend him for it.

He says we on the right ought to change our name "from conservative to morally clear. Why is that any more self-serving than progressive? If you're not for progress you're for regress, right?" [/end update]

Stop whining Dennis.
You have had command of your own microphone for 15 hours every week for roughly 30 years.
Who else on radio -- anywhere -- has had that much access to the minds of Americans?
You have had an unprecedented opportunity to sway not just opinons on the Right, but national opinion.
Are you the opinion maker you ought to be? Or are you a boychick who runs home crying cuz the bullies stole his counntry's future by claiming possession of an important word?
You don't like that the Left has stolen progress? Well be a mensch and fight to take it back!
Sigh. Well no matter. At the least, Dennis Prager has somehow either caught wind of the meme I started earlier this week or he's independently arrived at the same conclusion -- conservatives need to do something! Sadly, in my view, Mr Prager has chosen a far more difficult way to go to war.

Incrementals -- part 2
I don't know about the rest of you, but I am sick and tired of feeling the need to put scorn quotes on the word Progressives. "Progressives" are the ultimate anti-human progress force in the world today, and it really isn't right for them to hang onto the moral high ground that is deserved by right to those who truly work to achieve real human progress.
"Progressives" is one way to make the point that they are regressive (as in turning back the clock), repressive (aiming to restrict individual liberty), postmodern ("future" is so passé), misanthropic (6.5 billion people will be reduced to ½ billion by hook or by crook), and the class of people who think they are the only ones smart enough to deserve the power they seek. Society's self-assessed aces.
But the problem with "Progressives" is
In retrospect, it seems I was the first to use it in this way. Other words I've coined over the years had multiple authors and so they proliferated. Words like sheeple and republicrats. But it is the self-designated word "Progressive" that still seems to reign supreme when everyone speaks about those who've been scheming for more than a hundred years to incrementally enslave the whole human race.
Today I did a google on the words "incrementals" "progressives." My post on the subject came up as number 1.
Yes I did make a contribution to help defeat the rhetoric of the Incrementals. But I've done a poor job of selling it. Even worse -- I had forgotten to use it!
For someone who believes that the future leadership that can defeat this anti-human squad of perverts has to come from individuals like myself, I have to admit that I make a horrible example. No, not in my ability to think up variations in tactics. Many know I am good at brainstorming. I simply don't fear making an ass of myself. Brainstorming will fall flat and even look stupid a good deal of the time. But if you fear to float ideas, you'll fear floating good ones that you don't know are good until others react to them. Few people are geniuses until they stumble enough for others to realize the genius.
No, my failure manifested itself in my not acquiring the stamina, guts and drive to keep at it day after day. Real leaders WILL do those things that need to be done and then do even more. I've known real leaders, and even still know a few, so I know what one looks like. I fall short. And no matter what, every day I wake up and still don't feel like leading. I'm sure I am not alone. Most of you reading this probably feel the same way. (Still, some of you has a great opportunity to aid decency. Consider learning what it takes to get the drive and go on and become a leader. The risks are high -- but....)
Back to the campaign at hand. It's really simple, much simpler that the long lead-in above.
I really do think, that with the label Incrementals, I've stumbled on a very good and accurate word to describe the not-very-nice people who relentlessly have been seeking great power by gaining it a little bit of the time.
So I will do three more things to help my friends who happen by here to use the word Incrementals as a replacement for "Progressives" every time you write it. I will give you the formatting for 3 different environments so that you may use the words together.
Together we who use this rhetorical tactic may begin to break the back of the Incrementals and end their theft of the word progress and its moral high ground. The goal is to reclaim it as our own.

Society's self-assessed aces.
But the problem with "Progressives" is
- It doesn't stop them from painting their enemies as "anti" progress rather than anti "progress."
- After a short while the power of mocking the word they chose to describe themselves loses its sting.
- "Progressive" news media and other influential institutions constantly use the word Progressive without a hint of their postmodernism being contrary to true progress.
- It cedes ownership of the narrative to those we need to defeat.

Reflex
Pasc, you really believe there's a group, aka progressives, that aim to enslave us all or ??? And Obama is one of them? -- Representative of millions
Rep, you're already under their influence.
Your unwillingness to assess the evidence of your own experiences demonstrates this. You've been trained to scoff at any notion of the sort, as displayed by your question. I'd say it is as reflexive in you as Pavlov's dogs slavered to the ringing of a bell.

Blue Became Red and Red Became Blue
Jeopardy Category: 2000 Elections
"What political party voting symbolism was changed, first employed by USA Today and immediately adopted by all Leftist Media, to distinguish between those who voted for the nominal conservative and those who voted for the Leftist?"
This was the equivalent of your bratty cousin -- suddenly realizing that the symbolism game wasn't going his way -- throwing the board in the air and demanding you all had to start over.
Getting a do-over has well served the aims of communist die-hards (Reds) who call themselves Greens, but we call them Watermelons.
That will be the subject of my next post: "Better Red Than Dead..."

I invariably use postmodern when referring to the trend, and use contemporary when I wish to refer to the now. I reserve modern to refer a thing or condition that came about as an incremental improvement over whatever preceded it.
The modern age was filled with the byproducts of the Age of Reason and the Industrial Revolution.
The postmodern age is what comes from permitting rulers to assign to all us subjects LIMITS to our seeking improvements. Postmodern portends the bleak future that our rulers intend for us.
My using the terms in this manner has not prevented others from maligning modernity when they use modern to refer to what the policies of
“Progressives”Statists have done to our way of life, but at least I try to apply the terms consistently. From time to time I call others on their error when it appears they have simply failed to notice how newspeak has been creeping in, and -- surprisingly enough -- have often been received pleasantly.Using postmodern to refer to this growing oppressive state then frees up modern to preserve the spark of that vision of seeking improved living conditions for all of humanity.
