I first heard the word "gay" to denote homosexuals in about the early '70's after the feminist movement (which was originally called "women's liberation") began gathering steam. Other minorities then hopped on the bandwagon wanting their "rights". All the media adopted it simultaneously. The media has a very large role in changing language.

Let me get this straight.

According to this forum;

- Liberals coined the phrase "undocumented workers."

- Liberals are not job creators

- Liberals do not pay taxes

- Liberals live of the teat of government

- Liberals want to take all the rich's money and give it to the poor.

So please explain to me why Liberals would coin such a phrase. They don't work in the first place! Why would they care if workers are "documented," or not?

And of course the root of the problem, if the Liberals are not job creators, then WHO is providing the jobs for these "undocumented workers?"

NO. No, it's the far right that keeps trying to re-frame the language here when they insist on using the term pro-abortion instead of Pro-Choice. No one is pro-abortion. No one! Pro-Choice means exactly that....the right to choose to abort or to choose not to.

Here are some good examples of how liberals have changed words to fool all of us about what the old words meant. Yep, you can see what is coming.

Yes, because you know conservatives don't do the exact same thing.

Silly partisans.
