If the word "civil rights" actually meant anything anymore, perhaps this column would matter. Of course, it doesn't mean anything anymore- "civil rights" has become a giant euphemism for reverse discrimination, preferential treatment of particular groups over others, and letting criminals off the hook easy. The phrase doesn't even mean what its dictionary term says anymore.

The new definition of "civil rights": anything that a conservative opposes that is a part of the liberal agenda of racial preferences and easy criminal penalties.

Good point. I think the left has played this card 100 too many times and the public is immune to this meaningless rhetoric. 30 year old playbook. I hope they keep using it.
