I think you are absolutely right. The confusion and obfuscation were intentional, and it worked terribly well. The left are able to muddy the waters to the point where reasonable discussion is virtually impossible. No one knows what the words mean.
"The principal weapon of the left is the derogation of the language." - pretty sure I'm quoting broadcaster Rush Limbaugh on that; alas, searching the web to verify the quote was "no results found" - obvs search engines can't let us plebes find such incendiary hatespeech
Intriguing idea. What kind of content would such a personal statement of mission contain? Would it be about one's thinking on big issues or personal issues?
RF; If it isn't obvious yet, I'm a really basic(simple) Man. I have to practice the "K,I,S.S." principle. The simpler I keep things, the better they work (for me). I did specify "Personal"??
I think if everyone started out simple; it is easy to add other layers....
It could be as easy as one single thing to accomplish, or one red line you won't cross?
Be choosy, once you actually "Write" it, you can't delete!!!!!!
I actually think the colors are appropriate now. If red was the color of the downtrodden, the workers who bled for their freedoms in the face of ruthless power-elites, then the crypto-aristocratic blue of the Democratic dispensation is entirely appropriate.
I'm afraid this nolonger matters.
The confusion and obfuscation of the "Uni Party" has left most citizens unable to articulate what they want or what they believe.

also, they could just meld in to Imperial purple at this point, given the utter lack of difference in policy we get from one side or the other
Just so! I have a piece coming up wherein I compare the federal government to the Detroit 1930s mafia-style crime syndicate the Purple Gang.
This is the situation which makes me suggest that Everybody should write their personal "Mission Statement" on paper.
Maybe we can't change Policy. But, if we have our personal statement in black and white; then we at least have something to measure and compare to??

Ok.
1. One red line that I won't cross.
2. I can't delete!!!!
3. Add more layers over time.
I'll give it a try.
Live and let die is a better tradition for the right to adopt.
Disarming their victims is “gun safety”.
Adding that to my big list of "False Claims that Leftists Make.
Took me awhile to understand why that phrase bothered me so much. Then I realized it was that.

Yes, very well said.
