Hitting the liberal blogs today, I notice the indiscriminate use of the designation, “Intelligent Design.” I feel that this term should never be capitalized nor given the status of a real theory. It belongs in lower case, always (like alien abduction, an equally plausible hypothesis). And while I’m at it, what the hell is “faith-based?’” It’s just a right-wing, obfuscating synonym for “religious.” The right has also given us “partial birth” abortion when “late term” is perfectly adequate and more descriptive. And there’s the hypocritical, PR expression, “pro-life.” Yeah, sure, they’re pro-life, exept maybe for death by lethal injection or by mortar fire. These guys are pro-death, plain and simple.
Even abortion rights activists have resorted to this euphemizing with “pro-choice.” Call it pro-abortion and be proud of it.
