Mr. Hogberg's column suggests once again a question that I cannot get out of my head, because I can't seem to get anyone to answer it. Mr. Hogberg nicely describes the worldview of the Netroots, but refuses to use the perfectly good word for their philosophy and beliefs. Sir, they are Socialists. Why will you not call them by their name?

Elaine Kyle has several times posed the question of why writers continue to call the Leftist party the "Democratic" party, instead of the "Democrat" party. She is 100 percent right, you know. It is something that has long bugged me also.

Jorge Boosh insists that we are fighting a "War on Terror". Bovine Excrement! We are fighting a war against Islamic Jihadists that happen to use terror as a main tactic in the fight. Depending on you viewpoint, this war, against this same enemy, has been being waged for between 27 and 90 years almost continuously.

p>What is it with the journalists, columnists, analysts, and politicians that they absolutely refuse to use perfectly good, and definitionally correct, words? These words are not obscenities. Those are use liberally today in many writings. Mr. Hogberg, Markos and the Netroot minions of the Democrat party are Socialists. Quit pussyfooting around and call a spade a spade. Get some calcium in your spine and be a man, instead of some kind of PC wimp. They are a bunch of one-world, open borders, Socialists. There, see, now that wasn't so hard, was it?
