I’m extremely impressed with your effort.

Thanks. If the leftist "swiftboating" meme isn't challenged, they'll gradually work it into the language, a la "McCarthyism."

I don’t think it matters how much it’s challenged, it will be forced on the culture by way of those who control the language - just as “McCarthyism” was and will remain no matter what the truth is.

Herewith a plug for a new book, “Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America’s Enemies,” by M. Stanton Evans.

I long ago concluded that the real problem with McCarthy (once my senator) was that he was correct on his main points of concern.

That would be OK, as long as it comes to mean, "Exposing the Distortions, Fabrications, and outright Lies of Politicians". Or "Outing the Traitors".
