Let us resolve to reclaim our own words.
The cloud of defeat enshrouding America is a spiritual, moral, and political conquest that seeks to control minds, debilitate character, and destroy institutions from within. That conquest starts with the power to control our words. We react, we write, we rail against them — but always using their words. They control the conversation. We have let the enslavers control our words.
The disruptive force throughout American history has been Christianity. It disrupted slavery, segregation, and abortion because Christians rejected words of the oppressors. They called slaves their brothers; they call the pre-born babies.

Let us start with 'gay' which means lighthearted or happy. 'queer' means out of the mainstream, not normal, etc. There is no overlap in those two definitions. So use the correct term please.

Great list, although I do disagree on use of the term “black” (note the lack of capitalization on my part as opposed to the author). I find “African American” to be offensive as it divides us and reinforces racial victim mentalities. Blacks prefer and use the term “black”, so why shouldn’t everyone else? And anyone who was born in the USA is an American. Period.

Re#2: I once saw a snippet of an interview with the actor Morgan Freeman. The interviewer asked Mr. Freeman if he preferred to be call black or African-American. Mr. Freeman replied by asking the interviewer his first name. The interviewer answered "Jim" (I think). Mr. Freeman then said, "My name is Morgan; I will call you Jim and you can call me Morgan. That is my name". Not an exact quote, but you get the idea. If you are conversing with someone and they tell you they want to be called by this or that currently trendy term, ask them their first name. Then ask them if they would mind if you call them by their first name. Identify people as individuals.
Morgan Freeman, wise man.

I completely agree and have been posting my statement here and on Instapundit for years: "dont say gay when you are talking about homosexual" Use the correct label-homosexual

homophobia - homo means man. Phobia is fear. Fear of man makes no sense. It is a Left wing, anti family construct.

As a woman, I am offended by men dressing up as caricatures of women. There is nothing glamorous or regal about it. It is insulting. I wish more women would express offense at it instead of saying how great these clowns’ makeup looks!

Did everyone reading #3 hear Morgan Freeman's voice in their head?
I never use "phobia" for something I disagree with or have any kind of reasonable objections too. A phobia is an unreasonable fear, after all. They need a "-pulsed" suffix like queerpulsed and commiepulsed.

"Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing."
George Orwell
I'm the same poster #4, I never say gay. Also never say doctor always say abortionist. Say committed abortions instead of performs abortions and never call a place where babies are torn apart a clinic, they're abortuaries.

One of my jobs was with an agency that had a board that met every month. One time, after the meeting was over I was walking out with a retired black woman who was a university professor. She said she was not African American. She'd never been to Africa. She was born here and was simply an American. I have lots of stories like this and it's why I always say the majority of black people think and feel as we do. The only problem for them are black leaders, and they are wary of them so mostly do not speak up.

This is an excellent MUST READ listing many of the current, 'poisoned arrows,' being directed by America's enemies at the U.S.A. in hopes of bringing about Life & Liberty's demise in America the Beautiful and beyond. Keep shining the Light of Truth right on their every creepy word & deed. The Truth is made for such a time as this!
