Our enemies are industriously corrupting the language
in order to make the ideas of liberty inexpressible.
In particular they are seeking to make the concepts
behind the declaration of independence and the bill of
rights unspeakably and therefore, they hope,
unthinkable.
....................................................
Do you think that 'our enemies' are doing this consciously,
purposefully, deliberately? Do you think that they know these
concepts well enough to apprehend what it is about their
meanings that should be corrupted? Do you think that, having
understood what these concepts represent, they are in such
abhorrence of them that the only thing they can do, short of
physical fighting against the promoters of the concepts, is
disorient everyone into a confused state of cognitive
indeterminancy & inefficacy?
Maybe that's what happened to Inman during his rejection
speech!
