| It seems odd to me that conservatives give leftists/liberals (whatever name they call crackpots these days) over semantics because they favour language that's 'politically correct' | |

| Well, basically the point is Conservatives accuse P.C. liberals of over emphasizing the importance of language. The idiom, a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet or call a spade a spade. | |

| Ohhh, I think I'm getting this. So you're saying those on the right believe that simply changing the name of an object or a person, doesn't change the nature of that object, nor the reference | |

| Exactly, semantics in short is the meaning of words, and the argument arises when you try to decide what came first, the naming word or the meaning. Does the object supply the meaning or the word? | |

| Sort of like isn't still a fucking war if the U.S. still has a hard on for killing Brown people? And they still want anything in a uniform lying prone on the ground? | |
