Country Singer Rips Obama Administration for Renaming Global War on Terror By Ken Shepherd Created 2009-04-01 17:05
The mainstream media has found little of alarm in the story, but conservative bloggers including musician Charlie Daniels have taken heed of the Obama administration's changes to the terminology the U.S. government uses to describe the war on terrorism. For example, "terrorism" will now be referred to as "man-caused disasters" and the Global War on Terror will now be referred to as "Overseas Contingency Operation [1]."
Daniels, who performed at the 2003 Media Research Center Gala, pulls no punches in his March 27 post [2], where demonstrates the absurdity of the politically correct language deployed by the Obama administration:
Well Mr. Obama, I might have missed it but I haven't heard you mention 9/11 once, and just in case you've forgotten these noble enemy comba… sorry, "foreign mischief-making citizens", -or whatever you end up calling them- of yours murdered over 3000 of our citizens in three different locations on American soil and your milksop definitions of these pus ball killers is just not good enough for me.
I have some suggestions for your vocabulary:
Rattlesnake - triangle-headed surface crawler
Black Widow Spider - red dotted black circle
Shark - fish with a toothy smile
Grizzly Bear - big cuddly fuzzball
Dynamite - stringed red stick
Ted Bundy - homo sapien with a slight attitude
Jeffrey Dahmer - peculiarly-appetited loner
The media in this country have their heads so far up the collective posteriors of the Obama Administration that all they can do is sit back and say, "Oh isn't he wonderful? Isn't he brilliant? He has compassion and cares about everybody's feelings!"
My favorite, that I saw on another website, was: Obama Administration Renames ‘Enemy Combatants’ to ‘Friends You Haven’t Met Yet.’
Thank you Charlie Daniels, for using the platform you worked so hard to get, to give voice to those of us who love and admire you! Keep it up FRiend!!
Knew it wouldn’t be Toby Keith, he backed Obama.
GO Charlie Daniels!
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
When I read the title I knew it had to be the Great Charlie Daniels. Good on him.
That made me sick.
Yeah, me too. Don’t worry, Charlie Daniels can kick his butt.
Wonder how ol’ Toby’s record sales are doing....
yep, figured it had to be Charlie Daniels
So did Garth Brooks. Ugh
Sad isn’t it.
Great ideas to rename everything!!
Here’s one: we can rename -
Resident of the United States = Dictator-in-Chief now
