The political left has failed to serve the nation well. On the contrary, they have weakened our economy, jeopardized our security, and sacrificed our identity to create what they foolishly believe is a roadmap for a progressive, woke, welcoming society. We can all look around and see the results of the avenue they have us on. They have found success, however, in bastardizing our language to help usher in their radical agenda.

Here is some of the language they’ve taken an ax to:
They call illegal immigrants “undocumented people” and “newcomers.” The President of the United States “regrets” calling an illegal immigrant accused of murdering a 22-year-old American nursing student an “illegal,” as he did during his State of the Union address. He’s sorry that he used the correct term to describe the man because, according to leftists, that’s no longer the correct term. This regret was voiced after people in his party complained about being “disappointed” that he used language they had ordered changed. Never mind Laken Riley, whom he called Lincoln. His focus and his party’s focus is making sure illegals are not offended, and one way they do that is to change the language used to describe them.
They call killing babies “reproductive freedom.” Democrats were also upset with Biden because he did not utter the word “abortion” during the State of the Union speech. The word carries with it negative connotations for much of America, although Democrats have begun to do what they call “shout my abortion.” In the president’s hour-plus speech, he spoke of “reproductive freedom,” he spoke of “freedom to choose,” and he spoke of the “power of women.” While I feel for women who find themselves in situations they did not anticipate, terminating the pregnancy is ending a life. It’s ending a life when it’s called abortion, and it’s ending a life when it’s called reproductive freedom. Leftists not only stand and applaud the killing of innocent life in the womb as they did during the president’s remarks at the State of the Union, but we’re hard-pressed to find one who will even defend protecting the lives of fully developed babies or call it what it is. Democrats have worked hard to obscure that reality by butchering language.
They call genital mutilation “gender affirmation.” Some attempt to make it more palatable by saying “gender-affirming care.” No matter how it’s worded, however, it is what it is. We all love to be affirmed and cared for, but this ain’t that, and using those terms for it doesn’t make it anything other than what it is. Increasing numbers of the victims of this mutilation are waking up and crying out about the horror they are enduring and railing against those who encouraged, if not pushed them toward it.
They call a mother a “birthing person.” With the wave of a hand, they wiped out “mothers” because that suggests women, and the left claims to no longer know what a woman is. No one asked has been able to define the word, some claiming it’s not their area of expertise. They can’t define what’s been defined since the beginning of time, but somehow, they’re qualified to undefine it.
They call breastfeeding “chestfeeding” now, I suppose because referring to breasts refers to women, and women and men no longer exist, according to the radical leftists.
They call pedophiles “minor-attracted people.” This helps sick people sexualize children so they can use them for their depraved pleasure or traffic them for financial gain. Their language shift is supposed to cause us not to be repulsed by it.
They call her, him, she, and he “they.” I spent years as an English teacher explaining to my students what a pronoun is—a word used to substitute a noun—only to have that twisted into a new definition: a word used to substitute reality.
No one is advocating for any of these changes because he is a connoisseur of language. These examples—and more—are part of an effort to change aspects of society into something leftists desire. A bigger picture always exists for radicals. Language bastardization is just a means to their end, and they’re going all-in on it. Have you heard they’re now threatening to criminalize “misgendering” someone? Talk about blurring the lines!
Understand, though, that the blurring of the lines between men and women, for example, is for the purpose of blurring the lines between right and wrong. And that has to be blurred—ultimately removed—for their ultimate goal, which is to remove God. There was a time when the left only wanted to remove God from the public square. They’re past that now. They want to remove God altogether, or rather, replace him by transforming what they call “homosapien” into “homodeus”—where we are demigods making our own rules and charting our own course. They have yet to comprehend that this leads to us securing our own fate, and that’s not a good one. Pray for them, for us.
