“they think the world will be a better place if they have the opinion that you don't have to live like them to be worthwhile”
Reframes liberal views on economic equity as the belief that 'you don't have to live like them to be worthwhile,' converting a policy position into a charged accusation of dehumanization.
“the human imperative to first transform yourself, to move yourself closer within to the image of God in you, and then to impose that image on others”
Establishes a grand narrative template — a fundamental human drive to self-transformation and imposition — that predetermines how subsequent cultural and political events should be interpreted.
“thank you so much, Mr. President. Thank you so much for dropping these little crumbs of truth on the starving people gathered at your feet.”
Leverages sarcasm and contempt to manufacture outrage at Obama's delayed acknowledgment, using mockery as emotional persuasion toward the speaker's anti-Obama position.
