Now how are we supposed to accurately define Liberals?
We have no more deaf people in this country, hearing impaired. No one's blind anymore, 'partially sighted or visually impaired.' We have no more stupid people. Everyone has a 'learning disorder'...or he's 'minimally exceptional.' How would you like to be told that about your child? "He's minimally exceptional." "Oohh, thank god for that."
Psychologists actually have started calling ugly people, those with 'severe appearance deficits.' It's getting so bad, that any day now I expect to hear a rape victim referred to as an 'unwilling sperm recipient.'
And we have no more old people in this country. No more old people. We shipped them all away, and we brought in these senior citizens. Isn't that a typically American twentieth century phrase? Bloodless, lifeless, no pulse in one of them. A senior citizen. But I've accepted that one, I've come to terms with it. I know it's to stay. We'll never get rid of it. That's what they're going to be called, so I'll relax on that, but the one I do resist. The one I keep resisting is when they look at an old guy and they'll say, "Look at him Dan! He's ninety years young." Imagine the fear of aging that reveals. To not even be able to use the word "old" to describe somebody. To have to use an antonym. And fear of aging is natural. It's universal. Isn't it? We all have that. No one wants to get old. No one wants to die, but we do! So we BS ourselves. I started BS'ing myself when I got to my forties. As soon as I got into my forties I'd look in the mirror and I'd say, "well, I...I guess I'm getting...older." Older sounds a little better than old doesn't it? Sounds like it might even last a little longer. BS, I'm getting old! And it's okay, because thanks to our fear of death in this country, I won't have to die...I'll pass away. Or I'll expire like a magazine subscription. If it happens in the hospital, they'll call it a terminal episode. The insurance company will refer to it as 'negative patient-care outcome.' And if it's the result of malpractice, they'll say it was a 'therapeutic misadventure. '
I'm telling you, some of this language makes me want to vomit. Well, maybe not vomit. Makes me want to engage in an 'involuntary personal protein spill.'

Luciferians?
Because THIS is what’s important in our nation this year...while you’re at it, include a ban on the use of “niggardly” and other such racist slurs. /s
It creates a hostile work environment for sooooo any of them...
If we eliminated lunatics from the Senate, we’d have no Senate.....and that would be a good start.
It is so good to see these elected folks working on the important and critical issues of our time.
Where would we be without such strong, courageous, dedicated and intelligent leaders?
I think we should replace the word politician with the word “lunatic”.
Controlling the meaning of words is the heart of communist takeover.
Let’s not change any words anywhere. The words were selected for a reason.”
If we can change the word “lunatic” to “psycho”, then nothing will stop us from changing the word “Right” to “Privilege” in the Constitution; and we all know that a “privilege” is something granted at the convenience of the government.
Wacko works for me. As in Crapo is a wacko for worrying about lunatics.
They don't know what to do about the economy, jobs, deficit, debt or energy.
In the manner of nitpickers of all ages, they can make a joke, er...law removing the word lunatic. :)
Bravo!
Wow! Now the economy will improve. Every one will be able to be employed. Good for these two men. (you do recognize sarcasm don’t you.)
Yes, we could do that, but then how would we compose the job description for senators and congressmen?
