Ze, Zem and Zyr: Today's Language Insanity Linda Harvey, WND.com 
Language and speech matter, because truth matters. Welcome to favorite hymns as they might be revised by Princeton, the University of Michigan, and the diabolical American left. Who knew the power of pronouns? At first glance, they seem innocuous. But when oppression begins to supplant authentic justice, one of the first symptoms is the breakdown of ordinary language. George Orwell warned us; now America stinks from the rotten rhetorical fruit of decaying, toxic values. It’s heartbreaking to say, but the smell of death surrounds us. From “negative rhetoric about Islam,” and accusations of “hate speech” against homosexuality, revealing reality is the current great offense. New meanings for old terms have become the weapons to deliver fake justice and the rallying cries to rationalize sexual license, lawlessness, theft, revenge -- you name it. Feminists advocate the “reproductive rights” of other women to kill their children. “Sexual orientation” is the civilized policy term for men who prefer anal sex with other men, or women whose idea of a grand sexual experience involves plastic penises with other women instead of real male organs with real males. And if you object, you are the problem. Increasingly your fair-minded, virtue-seeking, justice-exalting Christian life is probably expendable. Does the future include Planned Parenthood-type clinics for conservative believers? Will we be escorted to enter such “clinics” and never exit? Is there a polite term for “Auschwitz”? Oh, surely you are exaggerating, some will protest. After all, many recent examples seem on the surface to be just more left-wing silliness. At Princeton, the new administration speech code laughably denies male and female human biology. On a hopeful note, the student newspaper is crying foul: “Censoring the English language through dissemination of lists of acceptable vocabulary is contrary to the values of the University and a sinister first step towards Orwellian restriction of language and speech.” What’s the motivation for such nonsense? ”I’ll honor your delusions if you honor mine”?
