For far too long the left has managed to control the language of the political debate… not that there’s been much debate with this Congress. The left are masters of the non-specific. It’s usually a word, or a turn of phrase, that serves to divert conversation and debate away from an objective not their own. Assigning predominantly Republican cities and states the color red, as opposed to the blue designating the DeMarxist cities and states, was a stunt fostered by the lapdog lame stream media back in the Clinton years. The vast irony, of course, being that red is the traditional color of international communism. But it is a prime example how, by just a slight nudge here and there, the entire discourse and people’s perception can be altered. We’ve been calling it ‘political correctness’. It’s a methodology all its own and it just shouts at you from all directions, especially at this time of year. We hear stories of municipalities taking down Christmas trees to salve some sick, secular need to divest society of every trace of Christendom, which of course it is. Annual Christmas parties have become ‘holiday parties’. Anything with the taint of Judeo-Christian values must be expunged… anything secularist is to be extolled. Our children are being indoctrinated in government indoctrination centers. They’re not being taught to think… they are being inculcated with a sort of faceless, brainless group think. Changing the language is taking a gay activist and admitted pedophile and canonizing him at the state level by declaring a special day for him. Harvey Milk was certainly no hero to parents out here, and his ‘day’ is only another way for deviants to get closer to our children. See what I mean? Change the language and you change the perception of society. At the risk of repeating myself… we have to re-capture the language. We set the agenda and we control it. We need to call the left and their (still) slavishly devoted lame stream media types on every single PC-laced lie. We need to slice and dice. Forget what they say about you, or me, or anyone else. All that counts now is that we enact the fundamental return to the Constitutional Republic we were founded to be. Semper Vigilans, Semper Fidelis © Skip MacLure 2010

Ironic that in an editorial demanding control of the "language" you end your statement with a grammatical error (passive voice).
constitutional republic = bad idea.

In fact, this reversal of what we consider "normal" was considered conventional, even in the early 20th century. "At one point pink was considered more of a boy's color, (as a watered-down red, which is a fierce color) and blue was more for girls. The associate of pink with bold, dramatic red clearly affected its use for boys. An American newspaper in 1914 advised mothers, "If you like the color note on the little one's garments, use pink for the boy and blue for the girl, if you are a follower of convention." [The Sunday Sentinal, March 29, 1914.] "There has been a great diversity of opinion on the subject, but the generally accepted rule is pink for the boy and blue for the girl. The reason is that pink being a more decided and stronger color is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl." [Ladies Home Journal, June, 1918] http://histclo.hispeed.com/gender/color.html - "Gender Specific Colors" (more in link) http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=238733 Pink used to be for boys, blue for girls. Should we take that back too?
The first word we need to take back is "liberal". The leftists who appropriated the word in the U.S. are not liberals. Liberals believe in free markets, limited government, and individual rights. Leftists believe in socialism and/or economic fascism, unlimited government, and group "rights" (actually privileges bestowed by government on various pressure groups, which results in the actual rights of others being violated). I am a real liberal. Not a leftist.
It wouldn't hurt to stop the trend of labelling anyone to the left of Attila the Hun as communist as well. Conservatives are over the top on that one these days. Such hyperboyle is so obviously wrong, all they do is discredit themselves.
Attila was a righty? You need to take back your own language, rodent.
Long live the Taliban Freedom Fighters!
feminine pink as we know it, was never a boy's color, and the article admits as much. you are wrong. again.
Long live the Taliban Freedom Fighters!
You mean the language that gives the taxonomic nomenclature of ferrets as being mustelids? They are not are not rodents. Get your language right, now.
LOL! The word "girl" meant children of either sex when it was first used in medieval times. It was also common practice to dress both male and female children in DRESSES until their early teens well into the 17th century in western nations. Duh.

Girl has meant any young unmarried woman since about 1530. Its first noted meaning for sweetheart is 1648. The earliest known appearance of girl-friend is in 1892 and girl next door, meant as a teenaged female or young woman with a kind of wholesome appeal, dates only to 1961.[3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girl Middle English girle, gerle, gyrle ‘young person’, diminutive of Proto-Germanic *gurwjaz (cf. Low German Gör, Göre (“child”), Norwegian dialect gorre, Swedish dialect garre, gurre (“small child”)), from Proto-Indo-European *gher- ‘short’[1] (compare Old Irish gair (“short”), Ancient Greek ÇÁµÎ (chreM, “need, necessity”), ÇÁ®Ã¸±¹ (chrsthai, “to need”), Sanskrit ì1;î1;ë2;ì0;î1;ë7; (hrasva, “short, small”)). http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Girl Very good Doggie, you made sense in both your last posts which pleases me to no end. I might add though, I knew this about how both genders were frocked at an early age. Though this was so with those who could afford such indulgences. Children of both genders had their hair shorn and dressed more as males if they were sent to work houses as is mentioned inthe below link. http://www.ourwardfamily.com/children_of_the_1800's.htm Also, as many died early, children back then were often refered to as 'it,' 'the child,' or in other non gender manner as people were fearful of getting to attached to thinking of them as a he or she thus getting attached to them deep enough to cause deeper pain if they died in that age of higher child death rates than if they lived long enough to be refered to as 'he' or 'she' having shown they will likely make it to full adulthood.
LOL! Listen very closely you libTURD creep, I don't need you to tell me what I already know. I neither seek or value your "approval" you lying libTURD sissy boy. My upbringing requires that I must speak the truth always. Don't mistake that for any sort of affection or support of your noxious crap. You are nothing but a LYING POS libTURD creep. BUT, in MY America you have every right to be the slimy cunt that you are.

Now you listen; I don't want or need your approval. It is my nature to default to politess. In the 15 years I have dealt with people online in these forums and in doing real life activism, I have learned to be as tough and quid pro quo right back at people as I have to be. So don't bother telling what to do; I know that already. Your vindictive nature is your problem, not mine. You suffer from your disfunction in dealing with people, not me. I grew up as the oldest of six kids and I recognize the trappings in substance abuse in you,and I know epic resentments like yours are a symtom of a deeply denied affliction. I knowyou are only fooling yourself and no one else. You have a good day M. Doggie Dog. And never worry your pretty little head none. I can handle you just fine, but thanks for sharing and whining about me. You have no ability to bother or hurt me, and you are very entertaining to watch. Cheers, buttercup. ;-D

According to the website "Gender Specific Colors," it would seem that assigning color to gender is mostly a 20th century trait. It would also seem that at one time, the color associations were reversed when color first came into use as a gender identifier.

The word girl first appeared during the Middle Ages between 1250 and 1300 CE and came from the Anglo-Saxon words gerle (also spelled girle or gurle).[2] The Anglo-Saxon word gerela meaning dress or clothing item also seems to have been used as a metonym in some sense.[1]
