When Words Intentionally Deceive

Words are powerful, and they can be powerfully deceptive when one attaches new definitions to old terms without informing anyone of the change.

This is one of the 'changes' Obama has brought to Washington, and this is my subject today at Columbia Conservative Examiner.

The public thought they were getting something familiar when Obama used, and continues to use, words and phrases that have a commonly-accepted meaning. But Obama and company employ new definitions to old terms, thus deceiving the public.

Be sure to read my new column for all of the details. Thanks.

Obama's method of communication perfectly fits Orwell's definition of 'newspeak.' The news conference this week is a perfect case in point.

Read all about it in my column at Columbia Conservative Examiner.

Thanks!
