From what I can tell, the most common characteristic among them is that they <I>don't</I> process language the way normal people do. Words have no meaning for them.<BR/><BR/>They've completely redefined the fashion of liberal/lefty language policing (words determine thoughts exclusively) to imply that liberals/lefties insisted words can mean anything at all. Which is the exact opposite; language policing attributed too much power to the meaning of words.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, EBD's last point is the kicker; think about what these radicals and extremists have done with the word "conservative."Ti-Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06620550471437012866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-25414152487254700472008-10-18T10:16:00.000-04:002008-10-18T10:16:00.000-04:00Also, the word "terrorist" has curiously come to m...Also, the word "terrorist" has curiously come to mean anyone the Right doesn't like.
