It’s been a while since we have updated our list of prog-talk terms.  What is “prog-talk”?  That is the language that progressives and liberals like to use in order to say bad things but in a way that doesn’t sound as bad to the dumbmasses … actually that should be dumb masses … or the ignoranuses.  Let’s review our list real fast before we get to our latest entry, shall we?

• “Undocumented workers” became the politically acceptable term so as to not offend “illegal immigrants” or “illegal aliens”

• “Revenues” are a fancy way of saying “taxes” in prog-talk

• “Revenue positive” is how liberals like to say “tax increases” without using the forbidden “t-word” (taxes)

• “Letting the Bush tax cuts expire” was, for a long while, the way to say “increase taxes on the rich!”

• “Investing” is the word that proggies use to describe “government spending”

• “Earmarks” and “pork-barrel spending” were replaced by the politically correct “congressionally directed spending”

• “Stimulus” became a dirty word after the $800 billion flop of 2009, so proggies managed to use the word “job creation” instead .. still puzzled as to how the two are related.

The latest proggie term has been coined by proggie princess herself Nancy Pelosi, the hallow-eye hippie from Haight-Ashbury.  In the discussion over gun control, apparently Princess Pelosi would prefer to do away with the term “gun control” and replace it with “gun violence prevention.”

This is how the proggies will get what they want out of this fight .. they will change the language so as to make anyone challenging them out to be for gun violence and against preventing gun violence.  Isn’t that clever?
