As Ezra Klein recently pointed out, archaic language, such as that found in the Constitution, confuses the modern left. With that in mind, and in respect of the left wing's attempt over the past few days to tie the mass murder in Arizona to the Tea Party and Sarah Palin, I would suggest a change in our national lexicon.
So out with . . .
. . . McCarthyite, a hopelessly old word used to describe hyper-partisan witchhunts undertaken with no evidence in order to destroy political opponents . . .
In with . . .
. . . Krugmaniacal, a new word with exactly the same meaning.
