The language revisionists are at full speed ahad. Any word that does not sound pretty or nicey nice is banished and replaced with a different word.

People in prison are no longer prisoners, they are now inmates.

Problems are now called issues. No matter that it is incorrect, it sounds so much nicer.

Queer perverts are now called gay. Silly.

School teachers are now educators, even if they do not educate

Politicians and government employees are now public servants even though they only serve only themselves.

The list goes on and on.

What words would you add.

Racists, bigots and assorted other un-American peckerwoods laughingly refer to themselves as patriots. Talk about a perversion of language.

There are many. Do you really have to go there?
Dwelling on the negative will bring negative results in feelings.
I choose to ponder, dwell and exalt my Savior.
