One of very few things that binds us as a people is our common language.
So it was with great concern that I received, from an informant within the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) party, a copy of their official internal dictionary. It is clear – the DFL, as part of a larger left-wing conspiracy, intends to coopt the English Language!
Read it, and forward it, get angry about it. This is serious, and it is very scary.
