There's a whole lot of stuff in this philosophy that I don't agree with.



But there's also a great deal of psychology that fascinates me about this sort of document so I'm sharing it.  I have no tolerance for cheating nor for dishonesty and I like people who expose it to the light.

Blogger's Take:   

It's a Challenge that Requires a Great Deal of Slight of Mind and Words.

I got an answer for that Clinton word trick that comes out of a comeback used by the movie fictional character Forrest Gump when someone called him stupid. He said that "Stupid is as Stupid Does."

Now, how does Someone Analyze a Comeback like That?

He, Forrest Gump is counter-challenging the insulter by saying that a person displays intelligence or lack thereof by evidence of overt behavior.

It's the conduct of the stupid person in open view of others, who shows before the world of others whether the actor is using intelligence or even possesses intelligence.

Now if by acting stupidly before others the actor is showing stupidity or sound judgment in dealing with a scenario, the world around this actor or actress is getting a glimpse into that actor's inner person.

Had the guy, who called Forrest Gump stupid, personally, witnessed Forrest Gump behaving or acting stupidly?  I personally don't know, for I didn't see the movie.  But then, I saw the television ads for the movie and some showed this scene.

Now, when you put in front of me a replay of Clinton's comeback regarding the word "is," I'd borrow from that Forrest Gump scene but with some change.

Ready?

Is Is  - As  - Is  Does.

I definitely have some explaining to do if I'm going to get you to understand this. I'm going to borrow a little bit from the Bible to make this understandable. John 10:38 Amplified Bible (AMP) 38

But if I am doing them, even if you do not believe Me or have faith in Me, [at least] believe the works [that I do—admit that they are the works of God], so that you may know and keep on knowing [clearly—without any doubt] that the Father is in Me, and I am in the Father [that is, I am One with Him].”

When I read a verse such as this from the Lord, I understand this statement to constitute a counter-challenge from Him to the doubters, those persons who see Him but still don't believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Christ.

In effect, Christ is saying, "If you don't believe me when I tell you who I am, then judge me by my actions, my behavior. Judge neither my claims nor who I say I am.

Instead, Judge Me, then, by my Deeds – by What They Reveal about Me to the World Around Me.  

                                                                                                                                                                                                  What sort of actions, what pattern of behaviors have you seen me engage in from the beginning to the present? How do I apply all this to the above, to Clinton's challenge to the jury regarding the word "Is?" 

He's using language entanglement tactics.

He said he was being truthful when he denied that he was having sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky.

It turned out to be a lie that came out and exposed him when the dress was tested and showed that the semen on it was matched to Clinton's DNA after he submitted to a DNA blood test.

I am not God to see through someone into that person’s heart and soul. When someone says is or is not, if I don’t know that person, I cannot tell if that is or is not amounts to a declaration to be taken at face value.

Now I can tell when someone starts using entangling language and word tricks.  Furthermore, when someone starts using word tricks on me, I smell a cheater trying to entangle the conversation and I have no patience for tricks like that.  

It spells trickery, cheating, dishonesty.  I repudiate trickery, word games, cheating.

But that person's behavior, if I see or witness, Does Reveal what's inside that person.

In conclusion to all the above, when a person resorts to playing word games, that person just revealed to me, through the process of engaging into using word tricks, that an unethical line of misconduct is being engaged in. 

That person showing a willingness to engage in deception of language reveals a dirty disposition.  

That’s a person who uses trickery and dishonesty as a means to an end: easy advantage over another.  And what does word trickery stand for? 

Someone using word trickery and entanglement maneuvers - represents the resorting of a cheater to confusion to gain an easy advantage over others to acquire some good thing that this one will not work honesty for or cannot acquire honorably.
