I am appalled (but not surprised) at the reaction of the left, led by President Obama and former secretary Clinton, to the Saturday-Sunday terrorist attacks on U.S. soil.

Leftists have proven adept at redefining many common and some technical terms while promulgating their own definitions, to the detriment of real Americans – Americans who understand commonsense definitions.
Words matter. We on the right are losing the war of words because we won't fight.

Meanwhile Joe Six Pack has to deal with the problems they create.

“Islam is not a race. Someone might want to clue our clueless President and President wanna be in on that.”
They know that. They are just using any excuse to yell “racism” which it seems is the worst crime in the world.
Agreed. The queers have reset the language to make themselves appear more than normal. The males are actually better named for their disorder; coprophilia thereby making coprophiliacs, not gays.
