Well, I’m glad you worked so hard and posted this. I wish, however, we would move away from calling the Left “liberals.” Liberal means lover of liberty, which they are not. We need to call them what they are: socialists. Just like we need to call public schools what they are: government schools.

Papa, I wish that language wasn't dynamic, and I wish that real roses didn't fade and the petals drop. But reality is reality. "Liberal" has taken on a new meaning as has the word "gay" and as has the word "gender." None of those three mean today what they meant originally. Oh well. Tell Mark Levin, or Rush, or Thomas Sowell to stop calling the left "liberals." Those guys know what the original meaning of "liberal" is, but they also recognize the dif between wishes and reality, that language is dynamic and even when they hate the redefinitions of words, it is a living force of nature entirely distinct from anyone's wishes.
