The Lid: Remember when words mattered? You know what I am talking about! When words had a meaning before they are artificially softened. The days before taxes were called revenue enhancements, before government spending of our hard-earned money was called investments, or when there were terrorists instead of militants. Back then words mattered. Sure, at times they may have been harsh sounding like when this Oscar winner is instead of the Oscar goes to. That last one gives the impression that the best picture award is just another meaningless participation trophy; “the 10th place award goes to;”
Of course, there is the recent silly transition from Illegal Alien to undocumented Alien. If they are simply undocumented for coming into the country illegally, then a murderer is simply an undocumented executioner, a kidnapper is an undocumented parent, someone who drives despite the fact their license was suspended an undocumented driver, and a burglar an undocumented resident etc., etc.
Another one of those new-fangled, softened-terms is sanctuary cities. That particular term didn’t replace another one like “undocumented alien.” more here
I call ’em ILLEGAL FOREIGN INVADERS! >:-(
I’ve BEEN calling them that, since 1983 (when I was 16). Where the hell have the REST of you been?! >:-(
Since no one believes Barrio is a good or pleasant sounding word , perhaps we could put it at the front or rear of whatever state or city we are discussing. Barrio San Francisco, Barrio New York or San Francisco Barrio, New York Barrio.
I mean , at this point, what difference does it make? Their all SHITH0LES.
Barrio shithole LA, nice ring to it!!!! The shithole village of angels!👏

Words do matter. That’s is why the left is always trying to change the narrative by redefining words, and changing definitions. A crime doesn’t sound so bad when it’s called “a matter. “
Similar to GWB calling PDT a racist. Progressives twist meanings to hurt America.
Gee, Bob M. – I call em “illegal-alien invading rat-people” – and have since, well, since I have been …
“Sanctuary Cities” are the forward operating bases of the invasion.
There is nothing “sanctified” about them.
The Old Testament accorded certain cities of Israel and Judea to be “sanctuaries” or cities of refuge for those unjustly accused of crimes. I am not a scholar, but I don’t believe they were established to aid and abet criminals in escaping their just punishment – or to aid and abet the enemies of Israel and Judea – more of places where a pause was taken in order to establish the facts. Cities of the Levites, I believe.

Sanctuary Cities are now to be called Criminal Lairs.
Immigration criminals are abetted by corrupt politicians who conspired to be criminal accessories and shield border-jumping foreigners.
