So like preemption, in today's super-charged political climate, unilateralism and multilateralism no longer convey any meaning. Those words too have now become little more than coded nomenclature to denigrate the present American administration's efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Language is so important to our culture. We conservatives need to take our language back! I'm starting by asking for clarification on the meaning anytime someone uses the term "gay". ("Are you saying that you are happy or do you mean something else?")

Hanson also peppers his writings with the term multicultural, describing, for example, how the multicultural Persian forces got their a*s's creamed against the culturally bonded Greeks and Macedonians. There's a lesson in there somewhere!

To me, "preemption" means a political speech coming on the TV in place of the show you really wanted to watch! I'm stuck in the 1980's, I guess ...
