The philosophy behind deconstructionism is to remove the real history of a society in order to imprint the culture and history of the conquerors upon the people.
Deconstruction can begin in a society, like the United States, without the aid of war, by the systematic redefining of words and concepts that have been historically understood. Factual history is replaced by purposefully fabricated replacements. An example of this is the recurrent declarations by our President of how Islam has been a great developer of American society rather than Christianity and the Judeo-Christian ethic. The simple facts are that Christianity was the driving force behind the settlement of America, the formulation of our Constitution, and our whole jurisprudence system.
One of the early warnings of ideological attack on a nation is the deconstruction, and subsequent reconstruction, of the meaning of words. As the understood meaning of words is changed, the new meanings are accepted as having always been.
I offer one simple example in the following redefinition of the word, Tolerance, by comparing the word with Merriam Webster’s Dictionary:
Merriam Webster’s Full Definition of TOLERANCE
1. capacity to endure pain or hardship : endurance, fortitude, stamina
2. a : sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one's own
3. b : the act of allowing something : toleration
a. allow (something that one dislikes or disagrees with) to exist or occur without interference. 2 patiently endure (something unpleasant).
In more modern renderings of the word, TOLERANCE, we find a drift toward redefining its meaning. Notice the subtleties.
1. showing willingness to allow the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with.
a. "we must be tolerant of others"
2. open-minded, forbearing, broad-minded, liberal, unprejudiced, unbiased; patient, long-suffering, understanding, forgiving, charitable, lenient, indulgent, permissive, easygoing, lax; informal laid-back
a. "a tolerant attitude toward other religions"
Notice the insertion of words like, LIBERAL and CHARITABLE, which are now used to define the heart attitude of “PROGRESSIVES.” Just about anyone who considers themselves PROGRESSIVE and LIBERAL also consider themselves CHARITABLE, LOVING, and CARING, while believing that CONSERVATIVES are all STINGY, UNLOVING, UNCHARITABLE, and UNCARING people.
It’s the old adage: “If you tell a lie often enough, people will begin to believe it.” The word “progressive” has also been modified to mean, forward looking, innovative, etc. when, in fact, it refers to Marxist, Secularist, Socialist, ideology that is anything but PROGRESSIVE and is, in fact, REGRESSIVE and REPRESSIVE, anything but TOLERANT, by virtue of its basic belief that Government, and not God, is the beneficent caregiver of the people.
Yes, I submit that our wonderful country of America is being deconstructed right before our eyes and reconstructed into a weak, confused, and divided people prime prey for a socialist dictatorship. “We, the People,” still carry the heart of the free and the brave. Let’s wake up and preserve our heritage and restore our language before it is too late.

1. Noah Webster - In 1806, Webster published his first dictionary, A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language. In 1807 Webster started two decades of intensive work to expand his publication into a fully comprehensive dictionary, An American Dictionary of the English Language. In order to evaluate the etymology of words, Webster learned 26 languages, including Old English (Anglo-Saxon), Gothic, German, Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish, French, Dutch, Welsh, Russian, Hebrew, Aramaic, Persian, Arabic, and Sanskrit. Webster hoped to standardize American speech, since Americans in different parts of the country used somewhat different vocabularies and spelled, pronounced, and used words differently.
Webster completed his dictionary during his year abroad in 1825 in Paris, and at the University of Cambridge. His 1820s book contained 70,000 words, of which about 12,000 had never appeared in a dictionary before. As a spelling reformer, Webster believed that English spelling rules were unnecessarily complex, so his dictionary introduced American English spellings, replacing "colour" with "color", "waggon" with "wagon", and "centre" with "center". He also added American words, including "skunk" and "squash", that did not appear in British dictionaries. At the age of 70 in 1828, Webster published his dictionary; it sold well with 2,500 copies. In 1840, the second edition was published in two volumes.
