“Liberals invent terms to control the argument.”

It’s thrust and parry all the way down.
Remember when anti-abortion morphed into pro-life?
Then pro-abortion became pro-choice.

Propagandists choose the words that put the best light on their cause be they left or right of center. News reporting would be a lot more objective if editors forbade the use of adjectives.

sparklite4, nice post. And to underscore your point, there’s an old French proverb: “The adjective is the enemy of the noun.”
