Poop by any other name …

by Greg Krehbiel on 12 May 2005

If a rose by any other name would smell as sweet ….

Anyway, La Shawn Barber points out that Liberals Hate The Word ‘Liberal’

They can change the word all they like. They can call themselves “progressive” or … I don’t know … “angelic” or whatever they want. They may get a temporary rise out of it, but it won’t last. They’ll just ruin a new word.

It’s like the word “gay,” which used to mean happy. Now, because of its association with homosexuality, it’s come to be a curse word. When kids say something is stupid they say “that’s so gay.” (See the entry for gay in the urban dictionary.)

    I dunno, Greg… One fairly prominent liberal talk show host, Randi Rhodes, calls herself a liberal all the time, with glee mind you.
