George Orwell wrote that if you can control the language you can control thinking. I’m going to make a leap of logic and guess that whatever passes for ebonics today would be inadequate for a discussion of Plato, a lesson on magneto hydrodynamics or surgical rounds.

"George Orwell wrote that if you can control the language you can control thinking."

That's why it's so important for we conservatives to not use "progressive" in place of "Liberal", Socialist" or "Commie dictator SOBs". Similarly, we should not say "undocumented immigrant" instead of "illegal scumbag alien", or "gay" in place of "homosexual", or better yet, "vile, immoral, disgusting, disease-spreading homosexual".

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
