The New Buzz WordWe see it everywhere... Insurgent. Everyone is an insurgent. Terrorists are probably the most known to be insurgents, but now even Union Members are insurgents (H/T to Jane Galt, emphasis mine):
Of course there is also the irony as pointed out by Jane that the AFL-CIO of all organizations is going to lay people off... too bad they don't have a union to keep that from happening. But why does that word belong there? I suppose it's natural. After all, practically anyone can be a terrorist these days (except the terrorists who are all insurgents). George Bush is a terrorist. If you talk to the nut case Pat Robertson, federal judges are even worse than terrorists (H/T to Little Green Footballs):
Judges are worse than terrorists... terrorists are insurgents... union members are insurgents. Is there a word in existence any more that actually describes real life evil people? Are there any words left in our language that are truly reserved for only people that commit truly heinous acts?
