> I hate the term “ethnic cleansing”. I prefer “calculated cold-blooded murder on a massive scale”.
“Ethnic Cleansing” is like everything that liberals coin new terms for. It ought to be “Genocide” or “Mass Murder”.
The even rename diseases to fool the public into thinking things are not as bad as they are. If you heard that the a local restaurant was the source of several typhoid cases, we’d be burning down the building and blaming the “undocumented” workers. If you heard that the same restaurantwas the source for several cases of salmonella you’d just think food poisoning from tainted lettuce. Typhoid is the disease. Salmonella is tha bacteria that causes typhoid.
Somehow it doesn’t sound as bad if you call it salmonella.
Just like, somehow it doesn’t sound as bad if you call it “ethnic cleaning”.
It’s like the late George Carlin said “Shell Shock” changed to “Battle Fatigue” changed to “Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome”.
Bottom line, it’s liberals diddling with the meanings of words.
And don’t forget:
Watch Your Language!
The language police in the Obama administration have struck again! First they got rid of the term “War on Terror,” then they threw “enemy combatants” overboard. Now it’s the word “terrorism” itself!
The force behind this change is Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, who told the German newspaper Der Spiegel that she’s not going to use the word “terrorism” because it perpetuates the politics of fear. Instead, she’ll call terrorist murders “man-caused disasters.”
According to the secretary, “I did not use the word ‘terrorism,’ I referred to ‘man-caused’ disasters. That is perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur.”
Madam Secretary, if you can’t even call it by its name, how exactly do you plan to protect us against it? Shying away from the word “terrorism” in an effort to be politically correct is cowardly, not courageous.

You may notice that I talk about what is happening in the Nuba mountains as an “extermination campaign” as well. More helpful to stopping the mass murder of the Nuba people than just complaining about the way liberals use language would be to actually help fight against this purge of the black, African Nuba people by asking your member of Congress to support the hearings coming up on this in the third week of September.
