A new word for your vocabulary...

I’ve noticed there’s a few words which seem to have been hijacked by political leftists and warped to suit their own malignant purposes. I’m certain when you see these words, you’ll recognize them and you’ll know exactly what I mean. While I haven’t found a solution for all of the words the leftists have hijacked, I found a solution for two of them.

Entitlements and Rights

You see, for the rest of us (those with normally functioning ethical systems and moral standards) these words are pretty self-evident.

An entitlement is a benefit specified by law or contract. Easy, huh?

A right is something to which one has a just claim and, in the context of government, it is normally used to describe freedoms which are, by definition, placed beyond government control.

Leftists have seized these words and they use them to describe anything which they want... and their wants are multitudinous. You’ll recognize these pitiful creels, I’m sure...

“I want what I’m entitled to!!” (bad grammar)
“I’m entitled to my entitlements!!” (always a classic)
“It’s my right!” (grossly overused)
“I know my rights!” (tell it to the judge... was that my outside voice?)

Certain sub-sects spend every waking hour striving for enhanced rights and entitlements which they describe as equality. In reality, they’re not interested in equality; they want more and they won’t hesitate to trample anyone or anything to get what they want. They care nothing about rights (real rights, not their wants) especially YOUR rights.

So what is this new word? It’s a combination of their two favorite words which will serve to differentiate from the true meaning of each.

EnRightlement

So the next time you hear someone whining about their rights or demanding their entitlements, introduce them to this new word. The next time you read in the newspaper or in the media about some leftist group bleating about rights, substitute this new word. It will serve to clarify the true meaning and place their wants into proper context. For example:

"I have a right to do this" becomes "I am enrightled to do this."

See? No more confusion about what is a real right and what some whining wanker wants. They don't have a "right" at all. They like to pretend they do and they want to convince you or at least intimidate you into silence so they can do whatever they want, whenever they want and (of course) have you pay for it through your taxes.

Another word which could use rescued is “progressive” since the so-called progressive movement describes their pernicious agenda as being progressive. I guess, in a way, it is progressive... like a progressive disease, increasing in extent or severity. There’s very little “progress” in their agenda but plenty of “progressive” if you get my drift.
