6. I'm with you on this. They stretch definitions like taffy, so why don't we take over the trigger word?

After all, what was the Red Menace? What were we afraid of?

Of a pack of radicals destroying our way of life, taking away our freedoms, telling us what to do, and taking away the things we worked hard our whole lives to help ourselves and our families.

A hundred years ago they waved red flags. Now they wear red caps. Does it really matter if your property is seized by the government directly or by the bank thanks to bankruptcy from horrendous policies of conservo-Bolsheviks? The net effect is the same.

People need to get over being so fussy about accuracy and go for the word that has impact.
