As some of us have been saying for years, it's all about the words we use, isn't it? The Left has understood it, the Right has been, predictably, clueless and easily manipuilated (by the Left, who else!) Words convey ideas and ideas do have consequences, don' they! Just look at the use of the synomym for the word "merry" on this very thread. Heck, there ain't nothing wrong with being merry. Those digusted by homosexual behaviour but still using the synonym for the word "merry" to describe pederasty don't know they've lost the battle before it even started. It's all about the words we use!

Yes. And that's why the Modern Language Association and university departments of English have been at the subversive forefront of the Political Correctness blitz. A turd isn't nearly as offensive if you call it feces, manure a waste product or some other euphemistic name. Orwell saw it all coming and wrote a book about it. Sadly, even most of the people who read it really didn't really understand what Newspeak was all about and didn't recognize it when it began to dominate their lives. Most of them don't recognize the implications even now. The totalitarians know how to boil frogs.
