A few years ago, I read a book by linguist Geoffrey Nunberg called, "Talking Right: How Conservatives Turned Liberalism into a Tax-Raising, Latte-Drinking, Sushi-Eating, Volvo-Driving, New York Times-Reading, Body-Piercing, Hollywood-Loving, Left-Wing Freak Show." It was an incredibly informative read about how political parties have claimed certain words and descriptors to shape the way we think. For example, think of how "republican values" indicates no other party has values, and how Republicans have also claim words like "patriotism," while sticking Democrats with "liberal media" and "elite." Regardless of the outcome of the report, I think the 4 Republican members' attempt here to ban "deregulation," "shadow banking," "interconnection," and "Wall Street," was very clever.Jenna Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10489882730579615689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194375569044391746.post-5301192898284994572011-03-04T21:52:32.388-05:002011-03-04T21:52:32.388-05:00It seems that the time and energy put into the FCI...It seems that the time and energy put into the FCIC report is moot at this point. The report should have been utilized in creating Dodd-Frank in order to remedy the previous flaws that led to such a financial meltdown. Also, the partisan division may undermine the importance and findings of the FCIC. <br /><br />--LO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194375569044391746.post-24056952305421396292011-02-22T01:45:21.855-05:002011-02-22T01:45:21.855-05:00Unbelievable duplicity.Unbelievable duplicity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
