Stop with the islamophobia crap. A phobia is a distinct, readily recognizable medical condition. Not liking a group or a culture or members of that group or culture is not a damned phobia. It's the left's usual tactic. Take over a word and redefine it to suit your own purposes.
You have hit the nail on the head, my friend. The left HAS hijacked the English language and is using it to destroy America. :doa:
Words are weapons. Every writer knows that. When we agree on words, I can whisper into your mind from thousands of miles away or centuries ago, effortlessly. It is magic. Actually rather scary, if you think about it.
The left noticed that and decided to use it. Marx was one of the early adopters. He stuck to inventing words, mainly, so the effect was limited at first. Then they got bolder.
Take my personal bete-noir, for example. Gay. When you and I were born, it had one general meaning. Happy. Cheerful. Implications of kids playing, their giggles rising into the afternoon sunlight while the parents looked on indulgently, laughing among themselves and sharing food and joy and companionship.
Now it means homosexual. Full stop. Try saying, in public, that you are feeling rather gay today. It's a quick way to get counter space in a diner.
It might be interesting to put together a list of PC, , hi jacked, and changed meanings just to see what it looks like. :pondering:
