Defending against the accusation of "Code Words" is like trying to prove a negative

The language of GOP racial politics is heavy on euphemisms that allow the speaker to deny any responsibility for the racial content of his message. The code words in this game are “entitlement society” — as used by Mitt Romney — and “poor work ethic” and “food stamp president” — as used by Newt Gingrich. References to a lack of respect for the “Founding Fathers” and the “Constitution” also make certain ears perk up by demonizing anyone supposedly threatening core “old-fashioned American values.”

The code also extends to attacks on legal immigrants, always carefully lumped in with illegal immigrants, as people seeking “amnesty” and taking jobs from Americans.

-Race is always a trigger in politics, but now a third of the nation are people of color — and their numbers are growing. With those minorities solidly in the Democratic camp and behind the first black president, the scene is set for a bonanza of racial politics.
-At the Myrtle Beach debate the question I asked Rick Perry was about the GOP push for a new voter identification law in South Carolina, a state with a history of denying black people the right to vote.

Land of the Free vs Land of the Coerced

Land of the free means a country of equal opportunity, fair dealings, fair laws that treat everyone the same. It is the polar opposite of a land of redistribution. In this alternate universe, government and its laws extract private property at will from certain citizens it deems sufficiently wealthy (who has a right to determine when someone should stop earning and accumulating wealth?) and deploys it to other citizens it believes are under-successful. That is tyranny. Whether at the point of a gun or through the power of massive government, the taking of personal property for the benefit of other persons is theft.
