The "language war" starts here
It is not "Pro-Life". It is now "Anti-Choice".
Repeat this over and over.

It is not "gay marriage". It is now "Marriage for ALL People".
Repeat this over and over.

Is it possible that we at DU can create our own language? Can it start right here, right now?

You see where I'm going with this?

The conservatives turned a beautiful word like "liberal" into something to be ashamed of. Perhaps its time to turn "conservative" into something to be ashamed of. Any suggestions?

If we are to get back power, the language war is an important part of the battle.

plutocracy not democracy and plutocrats not "compassionate conservatives."

See Post# 16 on the Harry Reid thread.

As for them, how about call them the regressives? We are the progressives and they are opposed to progress.

3. It's not raising the Death Tax
it's cutting the Birth Tax
