Quote: have included and expanded that document because effectively communicating the New American Lexicon
Notice that it's the New American Lexicon, not the new Republican or Conservative Lexicon. That's a little presumptuous.
What can liberals learn from these first two on the dos and don'ts list? First, I think we should not use their words unless we can use their words against them. So I think we should always say, "government" and never say "Washington" Because fact is, government is important and necessary for the American people. We can point out that it's not government that is the problem, but rather who is using government and to what ends it's being used. For instance, Bush's quote above is useful, "
Government should help people improve their lives, not try to run their lives." This should include our private lives in our bedrooms and in religion. Government should insure fairness and safety for all it's citizens, not just some.
2. Since Privatization
IS about profit (Wall Street's profit, to be exact) and not about a private citizen's personal control over retirement (and forget the poor) we should use the word, privatization. Especially since two-thirds of Americans are not in favor of privatization. This indicates that they don't approve of the huge profits made by big business (GW and friends). So we should emphasize just exactly who will benefit from privatization. It's certainly not the American people (except for those very few, filthy rich people who want to get richer).
very funny
