Happy Catholic Can't Believe She Missed This

A MSM outlet gets Foolish! Go Figure Happy Catholic has the story right here!

The Dallas Morning News has changed policy. They won't waste a word on murderers of women and children in Iraq again! Behold:

Two words not uncommon to editorial pages are "resolve" and "sacrifice," especially as they relate to war.

Today, this editorial board resolves to sacrifice another word – "insurgent" – on the altar of precise language. No longer will we refer to suicide bombers or anyone else in Iraq who targets and kills children and other innocent civilians as "insurgents."

The notion that these murderers in any way are nobly rising up against a sitting government in a principled fight for freedom has become, on its face, absurd. If they ever held a moral high ground, they sacrificed it weeks ago, when they turned their focus from U.S. troops to Iraqi men, women and now children going about their daily lives.

The rest is just as exciting! The editors of DMN have seen the light! Common sense has penetrated the fortress of uncommon nonsense. A major metropolitan newspaper becomes Foolish!

Words matter. Words are the lifeblood of ideas. When those that inform us use words that obscure meaning, they present troubling ideas. They present the idea that somehow the murderers of the innocent are somehow justified. This is pathology, not "understanding". Ghandi freed millions of Indians from subjugation by British Rule without taking one innocent life. There is no cause that justifies the murder of innocents. Especially children.

The Dallas Morning News has affirmed the truth of words. They now present the idea that should trouble no one. Those that target the innocent are terrorists. Nothing they can say or do legitimizes their reprehensible conduct. They are murderers and agents of Evil, their true father and the first murderer the earth has ever known. A tree is known by its fruits. The Dallas Morning News has recognized the rotting tree of terrorism by the fruit of far too much innocent blood. I join Happy Catholic in urging other institutions of the MSM: embrace the truth! Call the enemy by the only name they deserve! Let ideas matter once more. Give up the useless enabler "insurgent". Follow the wisdom of the DMN:

To call them "insurgents" insults every legitimate insurgency in modern history. They are terrorists.
