“O’Reilly should start calling them Wetbacks when Whorealdo is around.”

I agree. We were told not to use the term “wetback” because it is racist, so it got replaced with illegal. Now we are told not to use the term illegal because it is racist and insensitive. Some suggested we use the term undocumented, but even that has come under fire. The plan is to embarrass Americans who make a distinction between citizens and non citizens. If every word we use to make that distinction gets besmirched by the left, we might as well go back to the colorful term “wetback.”

The left hates the truth.

They despise the light of truth because they know their deeds are evil.

The left always wants society to stop using a label that tells the truth about what it’s labeling.

The problem is, whatever new term they come up with soon comes to mean what it is labeling, and the truth about the group or object or concept then becomes associated with the new label, and that new label then becomes “offensive”.

Bu using Geraldo as a lead-in to Rush Limbaugh and Rush Limbaugh as a lead-in to Hannity -- Cumulus (77 WABC in NYC) is setting themselves up for giant public seppuku if/when they both leave for WOR in NYC (Clear Channel) at the end of the year.

Oh, there are likely more than a hundred.

There was an episode of South Park where they boys were going to have sled race against the girls and fatass cartman as the 4th heavy on the sled was in trouble for something and sidelined.

The girls were unrelenting. They reveled in their lexicon of epithets for queers. T@rd-burglar, B@tt Pirate, and A$$ Bandit were just three - hilarious.

So true can I use that?

Sure - it’s awkwardly worded, and I’m sure some wordsmith can improve upon it.

You can see this throughout leftism, though, even down to what they call their ideology.

“Progressive” - sounds great... until people began to associate it with the ideology they supported - fascism.

“Liberal” - sounds great... until, again, people began to associate it with what it labeled - socialism/collectivism/fascism.

Back to “Progressive”, and hope no one notices.

What do you call a homosexual besides a homosexual?

HOMOSEXUAL, because there's nothing GAY about it.

Yeah...I know...some of it is biting and unconservative. But I will say this for them, there have been some very good ones like the one against the media and their wild assertions in the Katrina Rip-off episode and the one against the PETA organization. Not all equal opportunity ridicule, but they come close sometimes.

Negro comes from Negroid, the proper terminology for the race

Then if we call them anything besides "Americans" we should call them Negroids.

So what is Jerry’s problem with the terminology?

It's truthful.

Homosexual works. “Gay” is not the proper term.

I remember in the early 1970’s no one wanted blacks to be called “colored” or “black”. They would claim, “People ain’t no crayon, stupid. It is Afro-American.” Then in the 1980’s it became “African-American”.

Immigration is a legal process. What we are looking at is invasion, the illegal incursion by uninvited individuals or groups. Sadly, the American people are being fed the lie —from the media who are the enemy of The People— that these poor invaders are due amnesty because they were only trying to better their lives. ... I can guarantee you that if I break down John Klein’s door and take things from his home in order to better my life he will sic the law dogs on me in aheartbeat, probably with extreme prejudice. We are being invaded and it is part of ‘someone’s’ agenda aimed at ending the We The People sovereignty ina Constitutional Republic. America is a hindrance to the banking globalist ultra-elite world rulers. America must therefore be ended. The process was started deacdes ago and is reaching final implimentation.
