Unhelpful Doodie

“The Home Secretary is best known for an inspired change of terminology: Last year she announced that henceforth Muslim terrorism (an unhelpful phrase) would be reclassified as ‘anti-Islamic activity’. Seriously. The logic being that Muslims blowing stuff up tends not to do much for Islam’s reputation — i.e., it’s an ‘anti-Islamic activity’ in the same sense that Pearl Harbor was an anti-Japanese activity.” [emphasis added]

Back in the day of the Cold War's deep freeze, the optimists were teaching their children Russian; the pessimists — Chinese. Today, the optimists are teaching their children Persian; the pessimists — politically correct bullshit (PCBS).

There is no accounting for (wo)man's ingenuity for linguistic camouflage of craven appeasement. From "better Red than dead" to "anti-Islamic activity", the leftist tongue-smiths ply their cunning lingual talents to the delight of those who mean to kill them at their first opportunity. Stalin referred to them as "useful idiots". I call them negiques — the f*cking idiots dispensing their "unhelpful doodie".
