Don't look now but our government is systematically destroying our language. In a two pronged attack not only is our currency being debased through massive debt monitization but now our language, already compromised by political correctness madness, is being further debased at an alarming rate by this administration. What's particularly unnerving is that much of the recent language modification has come from "Homeland Security" and being forced on the Pentagon. The Pentagon can no longer refer to the " Global War on Terror" or "Long War" but the language police issued the the appropriate term of "Overseas Contingency Operation". We can no longer refer to a terrorist attack but rather it's a "man-caused disaster". Let's apply this standard to a headline we may have seen on December 8th, 1941 the day after Pearl Harbor: "Enemy sneak attack at Pearl Harbor ignites World War II!" Now translate that into 2009 speech: "Man-Caused Disaster at Pearl Harbor ignites Overseas Contingency Operation II" God help us! "Enemy combatant" has been stricken from the language (no PC substitute yet issued). It is no longer government "spending" it is government "investing". Money given by the government to people who pay NO TAXES s called a "Tax Cut". In a recent interview in a German newspaper given by HS Secretary Napolitano, she said the following when asked about the word games being played: "perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear". Nuance indeed. There will be little nuance in a man-caused disaster of the release of a dirty bomb in the United States. A terrorist attack IS a terrorist attack Secretary Nepolitano and you and all the other sniveling liberals will never strip knowledge from objective thinking Americans. I'm waiting for the next language gymnastic event related to the Gitmo boys. There is talk that some of the detainees will be released into our communities and in fact be provided with "assistance". Of course they will not be referred to as "suspected terrorists" or even "Guantanamo Detainees" but rather " Liberated Foreigners" of course.
Pray for our Republic, my friends.
