Language Is Important

I just listened to Guiliani speak in New Hampshire. He uses the old Ronald Reagan slogan Peace Through Strength. Sounds familiar, right?

Of course, we all know that Dennis Kucinich talks of Strength Through Peace. A slight shift in words creates a huge shift in meaning.

The republican spin focuses on defense, security, protection....build walls, bully, dominate.

Turn that around to the progressive view built on interdependence, balance, compassion....liberate, mediate, nurture.

Balance creates peace. Balance creates strength.

Mrs. Kucinich speaks beautifully of this at a recent talk in Denver...

January 4th PBS Interview with Dennis Kucinich on Bill Moyers Journal

http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/01042008/watch3.html

This update talks about DKs exclusion from the Iowa and New Hampshire debates. About 700 supporters rallied in New Hampshire. The health insurance industry has enormous impact in Iowa and this has likely effected recent decisions there as DK is the only candidate calling for a single payer insurance, DK addressed the clash of two streams of media...emerging internet-based information technology and the conventional television technology. He emphasized that he spent a lot of time in Iowa during 2004. Not being involved there this year allowed for beneficial time spent elsewhere. The television media is aiming to minimize conflict by focusing on the top three democratic candidates who share many similar views, while DKs progressive democratic view is radically different. He refers to himself as a Democrat's Democrat.

Dennis Kucinich Says...

"We need to understand the connection between peace and the environment. We know that life on our planet is threatened by the twin threats of gobal warring and global warming. They are linked, and we have to understand that as we cognize the world as being interconnected and interdependent, we know that resource wars are passe and that the focus on sustainability will create peace."
