“If names be not correct, language is not in accordance with the truth of things. If language be not in accordance with the truth of things, affairs cannot be carried on successfully.”

I keep asking for a definition of conservative and not Lefty has been able to provide one, yet every day, all they do is blast "conservatives."
So far, the best I can figure out is it means anyone who does not agree with me and that means they are wrong, stupid, undeserving of any respect and should be treated as nothing but an object of ridicule (i.e., they're "sub-human" [sic]).
Kong Qiu, known in the West as Confucius (from Kong Fuzi, “Master Kong”), is the first individual whose birthday we know: September 28, 551. Happy birthday to Qiu.
One of the Master’s core doctrines was “the rectification of names.” As he explained to a disciple, “If names be not correct, language is not in accordance with the truth of things. If language be not in accordance with the truth of things, affairs cannot be carried on successfully.”
The left has long recognized this. For generations, with great ingenuity and diligence, the cadres have worked at manipulating language.
They had little choice. Marx’s prophesy did not come to pass: the workers failed to rise up and overthrow the bourgeoisie. Instead, whenever they could, the ingrates chose to join the ranks of the middle class. So it was up to leftists, mostly disaffected members of the bourgeoisie, to seize power in their name. They did this violently in war-ravaged Russia and more slowly and stealthily in Western Europe and the U.S. But by the time the Long March through the universities and newsrooms was completed, the workers were a distant third among the blessed oppressed, trailing “people of color” and women. Among the sacred Trinity, they were an increasing pale Holy Ghost.
History and biology have not been kind to the left. It’s no accident, as Marxists used to say, that the nomenklatura is so fixated on language, and so ready to persecute violators of its shibboleths. Its grip on power and its programs depend on obfuscation. Leftists have become expert weavers of the emperor’s new clothes....
