[wow, bet you’re tee totaling legalist, aren’t you?]
Terms like “tee totaling legalist, crazies, etc. are derogatory words used to define a person in a negative way.
The endearing word “crazies” is not only being tossed about by MSM and John McCain, it is being embedded into the minds of public school and university students. We are being “defined.”
I was in attendance at a GOP planning committee not long ago and the host disdainfully declared, “We need to get rid of the “ilk” in the party.” He was referring to Conservatives. I thought, “Hey! He’s talking about me!”
I challenge you: Ask 3 young people on the street to define the Tea Party or Conservative with one word. 9/10 they will respond with “Crazies.” It is the new buzzword.
“Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me” is a fallacy. Words mean something. “Crazies” is meant to diminish Conservatives in the sphere of public policy.
Wrong word. They're using "BIGOT" now.
you’re making a ridiculous argument about what we agree on...which is that it certainly was meant as derogatory. DUH. I get it.
For the record, tee totaling is not derogatory, unless you take offense at it. Legalist may or may not be derogatory, and in this case, that is how it was intended.
However, while all curse words are derogatory, altho not in some uses, not all derogatory words are curse words.
(I was right about the tee totaling, wasn’t i?)
