Webster, that is.

“When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’

’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’

’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.”--Lewis Carroll, "Through the Looking Glass"

"War Is Peace. Freedom Is Slavery. Ignorance Is Strength. He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past. The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth."--George Orwell, "1984"

PM: Webster’s Dictionary changes definition of 'preference' to match Democrats' attack on Amy Coney Barrett

"Webster's Dictionary has changed its definition of the term preference to include the new understanding that it is "offensive" as regards "sexual preference." This new definition was made in real time, after Senator Mazie Hirono claimed the long standing, inoffensive term, was offensive, on the Senate floor. This claim was made to discredit Judge Amy Coney Barrett's Supreme Court nomination, and for no other reason. ...

The concept that the term "sexual preference" was offensive was entirely made up by social media pundits who couldn't find anything else wrong with Barrett or her testimony, so they manufactured outrage surrounding the term. Then they decided that the meaning of the term had always been thus, that the term was offensive through and through and always had been. Joe Biden used the term just recently. And the LGBT community has a long history of being totally fine with the term.

And then, in a supremely Orwellian move, the dictionary backed up the politicians' and pundits' claims that the word had always meant what they decided only yesterday it meant.

We are watching the hijacking of language, discourse, and reality happen in real time. Propaganda is made in a moment, but its impact is lasting. Websters' editors change of language was done not for linguistic, but political reasons. Altering the past to justify the present is not an acceptable use of the dictionary.".......

Changing definitions hourly to suit the needs of the Leftist Overlords: I define that as creepy. No--super-creepy! It's like being forced to mouth unpronounceable pronouns just invented last week.

Hirono, a truly vile human being, even used the phrase herself recently--"But It's Different When We Do It (tm)!" She managed to extract an apology from Barrett, which is too bad. Barrett had better toughen up if she means to protect liberty from these gangsters.

The Good, Bad and Indifferent From 10 Facts Worth Knowing About Noah Webster (unless those historical facts have been re-defined by the Ministry of Newspeak): 

"#2: Webster subscribed to the biblical account of the origin of language, believing that all languages derived from Chaldee, an Aramaic dialect. This was not the only time his Christian beliefs overlapped with his professional work: not only did he release his own version of the Bible, called the "Common Version," but he also released a book entitled Value of the Bible and Excellence of the Christian Religion, explaining and defending the Bible and the Christian faith overall.

#3: Though he fought for a strong federal government, Webster opposed plans to include a Bill of Rights in the Constitution. "Liberty is never secured with such paper declarations," he wrote, "nor lost for want of them." Similarly, he opposed enslavement but also opposed the North American 19th-century Black activist movement, writing that the its members had no business telling the South what to do.

#5: In 1793 he founded one of New York City's first daily newspapers, American Minerva, which he edited for four years. His move to New York and his subsequent editorial career had significant political ties: Alexander Hamilton financially supported his move and asked him to edit the leading newspaper for the Federalist Party. He became a leading spokesman for the Federalist Party, supporting the governments of Washington and Adams and making enemies among Thomas Jefferson's camp.

#7: In 1810, he published a booklet on global warming titled “Are Our Winters Getting Warmer?” He was opposed in this debate by Jefferson, who believed that global warming was happening a more radical and dangerous rate. Webster, on the other hand, insisted that the weather and climate changes were much more subtle and less threatening than Jefferson's data suggested." .......

Like Webster, Founder George Mason also opposed the Bill of Rights because he thought that Government would claim that the People had only the rights specifically listed. As a New York newspaperman, Webster would have doubtlessly been horrified by Big Tech's current attempt to censor the New York Post and rig the election. 

Also interesting that Jefferson believed in Global Warming...in the pre-Industrial Era! So much for Anthropogenic Global Warming. The "science" is nothing more than Power Politics. Speaking of, our Founders won our Liberties in the midst of epidemics, too.

Today, almost every institution of our society has been corrupted by the Leftist Assault on freedom, to include words themselves. "Dictionaries Changed While U Wait!" For example, filling a Supreme Court seat according to the Constitution is now "court-packing". And actual court-packing is now "de-politicizing" the judiciary.

It's a Define Line in the Sand--if you Noah what I mean.

"Word."
