Euphemisms

More and more our PC society is shying away from telling it like it is. We have long used terms like"sanitation engineer" for "garbage man" and "little people" for "midgets." But our Mongol hordes of liberals are working overtime to morph our language into incomprehensibility. Here are some recently collected examples of such euphemisms:

Safe space -- imaginary site devoid of harsh word or deed

Memory-care center -- senility institution

Reproductive health -- abortion

Cultural appropriation -- acting black, being white

Black lives matter -- all police are murderers

Workplace violence -- Islamic terrorism

Gender fluidity -- AC/DC

The Green Party -- the Red Party

Gun safety -- gun control

Undocumented citizen -- illegal alien

Ethnic lightning -- arson

Differently-abled -- handicapped

White privilege -- black resentment

Hooking up -- having sex

Living will -- permission to euthanize

Micro-aggression -- societal slight

Afterward/  The Obummer administration has now decided to call criminals "justice involved individuals." Neato!

Justice Delayed

It's been almost three years since Nidal Hasan killed thirteen people and wounded more than 24 others at Fort Hood, Texas in one of the few successful acts of domestic terror during the Obama presidency.  For some callow and probably political reason, this administration has labeled this heinous act "workplace violence."  Now relatives of the victims in this incident are attempting to get it called what it was ... an act of terrorism (see: AP Story) in order that they might receive just the military benefits due them.  (Contrast this modest request with the largess that was passed out to relatives after the 9/11 destruction of the World Trade Centers).

Even more disturbing is the time it has taken to bring this Islamic zealot to justice in this case.  Many suspect that Nidal's refusal to shave off his beard for "religious reasons" has been a convenient excuse to delay his trial until after the upcoming presidential elections.  Fortunately, a military court has just decreed that the beard must come off (see: NBC News Story) ... but too late to remind voters of how silly Obama's administration has been in dealing with this atrocity.  But then, let us also note that the still-living 9/11/2001 conspirators are just now coming to justice in military tribunals at Guantanamo, Cuba.  (One can partially blame George W. Bush for this travesty ... although Attorney General, Eric Holder, had also pooped the bed big time on this one.)

"Justice delayed is justice denied."  How true ... how true.
