Dear Liberals, Stop Redefining Terms
Raytown Schools

When an argument no longer holds valid premise one must either accept defeat or adjust their narrative for a hopeful victory. One way this is done is through manipulating the terms. Liberals love to do this. Below are some of the terms that they use, but let me expose a very deceptive strategy that they use first.

They use two definitions.
The first is their definition that only they agree with, the second is the original definition that most would agree with. They'll hold their position and as soon as someone opposes them they'll invoke the original definition. For example, "I'm for women's rights" means they're for abortion. But when they're opposed, they'll say "you're not for equality among women and men?" Isn't that clever? Not really...but they still do it. To be fair, I know some liberals who are objective in their reasoning and I respect them greatly despite the staunch disagreement, but they are not the norm. Consider the following.

Feminist
Merriam-Webster: the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities.
Liberals: Advocate for abortion (in which thousands of unborn women are killed a year #irony), who blame men for everything.

If a dude opens a door for a feminist, he's a swine who thinks his superiority has decreed women as unfit to open a door on her own. Chivalry!? Ha! More like misogyny!

Fetus
MW: a human being or animal in the later stages of development before is is born.
Liberal: Clump of cells unworthy of even the most basic of human rights that while possessing an individual heart and brain separate from the woman's heart and brain is somehow still the woman's body and thus the woman can do whatever she wants with it, including killing it. Which makes perfect sense because if it was the woman's body then wouldn't she also die?

I'm okay using the word fetus. It's the same as using the word adolescent or infant. It's a stage of life. The identiy is human, the description is fetus, adolescent, infant etc. I was once a fetus and it never meant I wasn't human. Liberals have redefied it as a means of justifying their support of abortion.

Women's Rights
MW: legal, political, and social rights for women that are equal to those of men.
Liberals: Something beyond equality that women want.

Women can vote, get promoted, get paid the same as men, and have every other opportunity men do. They're not just allowed to, but they have done so.

Social Justice
MW: Advocacy for those persons trafficked into sex or labor industries against their will and those physically or emotionally oppressed by a government or dictator variant. (It wanted me to sign-up for a membership if I wanted to see this word defined so I just defined it for you. I have a degree, I can do that...right?)
Liberals: Advocacy for anyone who hasn't taken advantage of the opportunities allotted them and thus are reaping the consequences of their laziness.

Justice exists in contrasts to injustice. Consider the definitions and then consider how offensive it is to redefine it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
