FAKE NEWS: ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE
Trump, as usual, is totally correct. This sort of Orwellian perversion of language which Fake News outlets like CNN and MSNBC use on a daily basis really is the enemy of the people. It makes the people believe propaganda & lies, and then they vote based on those lies.
I will always call out the liars in this forum who engage in this debasement of language, and I will start linking back to this OP as a reminder.

Very true. And very eloquently stated.
Luntz is not a conservative. He is whatever suits his purpose at the time. He makes his living saying what people want to hear and it changes with each group he talks to.
Who is Luntz? Is that the focus group guy I see on Fox News sometimes?
It’s also done by both sides with the abortion issue... pro-choice and pro-life plus all the other terms surrounding the two that distract from the core issue.
Conservatives are pretty good at it too. My favorite is 'pro-life'. What exactly does that mean? All plants and animals are 'life', do they expect us to stop killing and eating. What they really mean is 'human life' but that gets into the muddy waters of defining what it means to be human so it is safer to leave that qualifier out.
Pro-life is self explanatory, it is support of life.
Pro-choice by itself is a meaningless term.
I have no problem calling myself anti-abortion. Why can't "pro-choice" people call themselves "pro-abortion"?
Its not blood spurting limb severing horrific abortion no its "pro choice". Oh my that sound so much less murderous, I'm sure they won't burn in hell now. /sarcasm
Exactly.
I also know that mans activity effects the CO2 levels. We are fools to keep debating whether that is true or not. It’s is true and it should be discussed in a productive way.
Are you aware that one volcanic eruption puts as much carbon into the atmosphere as 5 years of total global human activity?
Solar activity has a far greater effect on temperature cycles than any miniscule amount of CO2 man produces.
