The power of words

In my last post I used the phrase "foreign invaders" to describe the two would-be thieves who tried to steal an 80-year-old man's trailer. It seemed more appropriate to the facts of the story than to call them "undocumented immigrants," as the dominant liberal establishment press refers to them.

I got this idea after listening to Joe Thompson, a Richmond, Va. talk radio host, who was subbing for Glenn Beck yesterday. We really should pay closer attention to the words used by people trying to manipulate us to see things the way they see them.
