The most dangerous trend for the country over the last several years isn’t the GDP trendline or the unemployment rate.
No.
It’s rather how liberals- especially Obama- have devalued and degraded words into having different meanings than their original intent.
In fact, they have perverted some of our best and most innocent words in a way not unlike someone who seeks to corrupt a virgin.
Words like “justice,” “fairness,” “racism,” “reform” and “equality” no longer can be used to support liberty and tear down barriers to success. Instead they are erected like armed forts in the midst of an occupied population.
Liberals have destroyed what is best and most innocent about these words: their ideals.

“Words like “justice,” “fairness,” “racism,” “reform” and “equality” no longer can be used to support liberty and tear down barriers to success. Instead they are erected like armed forts in the midst of an occupied population.”
And let’s not forget “access” one of the most pernicious and subtle abuse of a word, so much so that even people on our side are fooled into using it. Such as “access to contraceptive”, “access to medical care” or “access to affordable housing”. In each case what they really mean is “you pay for what I want”.
Compared with liberal politicking, prostitution is an honorable profession.
Obama is truly a master of pandering to the ignorant.
It’s disgisting how utterly stupid so many Amaricans are.

It’s disgusting how utterly stupid so many Americans are.
We've always had the stupid among us, but perhaps more now than ever before. But stupid voters were not a great danger until they had an enemy of the state on the presidential ballot.

The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.” — Author Unknown

The lengthy quotation in your post #9 is truly a gem of manifest truth.
Whoops. Meant your post #8.
Yes, it is.
I think it was made my someone from central Europe who had suffered under Communism.
I keep it handy and post it when appropriate.
Even Fox News takes him to task.
I have even heard Limbaugh say "Communist" is too harsh a word these days. Socialist, too. Although these days, since The Obammunist is so obvious, Rush has backed down somewhat.
Well, it is the Communists' pressure in the media who have taken the perfectly good label out of the lexicon. Heck, Commies have almost made "labels" verboten.
In any event Commies have alway caused their own adopted labels to become pejorative.
To wit: Communist became Socialist when Commie became a dirty word. Socialists became Progressives after the 1917 Revolution failed to spread world wide.
Progressive to liberal. Then the Democrat party leadership was compromised and liberal was a dirty word. So now they are back to "Progressive".
West calls it what it is Progressive is Communist.
When the Communist Party took over Russia, what did they call the new country? Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Democrat Party Leadership has been Socialist since FDR. Socialists are Commies.
Robert Welch was right. So was Joe McCarthy. Yet they are villified for identifying Commies.
The House UnAmerican Activities Committee rooted out Commies. Yet it is vilified to this day? By whom? By Commies and their unwitting dupes.

Lyin’ is not “word abuse”.
And let’s not forget “access” one of the most pernicious and subtle abuse of a word, so much so that even people on our side are fooled into using it. Such as “access right to contraceptive”, “access right to medical care” or “access right to affordable housing”. In each case what they really mean is “you pay for what I want”.

He said, “To make words mean what they mean”
That’s how Cook County Democrats do it. Imagine being lied to for over half a century and still voting Democrat.
Don’t forget America’s first Progressive President - Teddy Roosevelt.

I can’t understand it. More proof that the liberal mindset is warped.
