Mitt Romney uses Figurative Language to relate his blog post about religion to the American people.
Overstatement
"But, now, more than two centuries after the drafting of the Bill of Rights, religious liberty is facing the most serious assault in generations."
By saying it's "the most serious assault in generations" Romney is able to convince the casual reader that the problem of a contraception mandate is horrible.

"And accompanying the moral principle came the social principle that only religious liberty could ensure tranquility in a new land composed of men and women of differing faiths."

Am I missing something because Romney's American Flag looks like the actual American Flag? I feel like a missed a joke or something.
ReplyDeleteHaha it's a generic American Flag. No humor intended. I just felt that it would be appropriate to post a flag.
ReplyDeleteI like the quotes you picked. The overstatement quote is a really good example of it.
