Politics and the English language
Now, let's see if I've got this straight …
Voting isn't "democracy."
Terrorists are "insurgents."
Darfur isn't "genocide."
Kofi Annan is a "scapegoat."
Social Security isn't a "crisis."
Iraq is a "quagmire."
Gitmo detainees aren't "enemy combatants."
WAR IS PEACE.
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY.
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.
Right. Got it.
