The Triumph of Vocabulary Over Censorship.........................from Dan Friedman

Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.
--John Adams
 
But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.
 
--George Orwell
 
[In spite of Obama’s official redaction of words like caliphate, jihad, Islamist and terrorism, irrefutable facts on the ground keep forcing those terms back into our everyday lexicon and conversations. Mr. BHO, please take note. Refusing to recognize Muslim evil won’t make it go away. (But you already know that.) df]
