We can also remember that before that Kaddafi was an off again and on again enemy of the United States.
How is that for an accurate comparison?
Besides falling from grace again, Moamar Kaddafi has gone through a name spelling change, just like bin Laden did before him. The same way that Peking is now Beijing, and Bombay is now Mumbai; The Colonel's name is now spelled Muammar Gaddafi. Osama bin Laden's name was also transformed from its original accepted English spelling to Uzama or Ozama bin Ladin.
What's with all these spelling updates? Are we trying to fool the Spelling Bee candidates?
Anyway, I wonder if Kaddafi is the new bogeyman now that Osama bin Laden has been bagged and buried at sea? ('as prescribed by Muslim traditions'). Speaking of Muslims: I can remember when the accepted spelling was Moslem, and I believe that before my school days it was Musulman. Well, the word Muslim is now pronounced Mooslim by many political correctness experts. Also, Afghanistan is now pronounced Af-hawney-stan and Pakistan is Pawki-stan. Well, that's neither here nor there! Yet, I return to the fact that Kaddafi is the new bin Laden (persona non grata): Since the al Qaeda leader is dead, and Syria's Assad is protected by the Russians and Red China; Kaddafi is the new enemy par excellence, until a new detestable countenance can be found. Can you remember 'pineapple face' Noriega? Well until a new Emmanuel Goldstein (target) character can be identified, Kaddafi will be it.
Now let's play the usual game of Hide and Seek.
Ain't this fun?
Ain't this predictable?

Exactly!!! I've thought about these points you're making many times and wondered just WHAT the hell is going on with the elite and their media puppets that they feel this overwhelming need to keep renaming and re-spelling stuff over and over, for no apparent reason - considering that most of us couldn't care less what the actual "correct spelling" of pronunciation is anyway.
ReplyDeleteObama makes me literally feel sick every time I see one of his idiotic speeches and I see his blatantly phony "trying too hard" attempts to be politically correct with the pronunciation of "Pocky-ston" - who does he think he is fooling with all that nonsense anyway???? Not me, that's for sure. LOL
For a guy who not so long ago said he had visited almost all of the 58 states in the USA - he can't even get THAT correct, and yet he goes to these extraordinary efforts to try and pronounce POCKY-STON in just the perfect way - obviously to impress people who are not Americans.
He clearly cares a lot more about impressing and not offending them than he does about all of us "radical racists who cling to our guns and Bibles", that is for certain.
