Aside from being old as the hills, I am aphasic, which is a communication disorder. Language is more than a small challenge to me, and I've devoted almost 15 years to recovery. The rub is that language is doggoned important to me. I am always seeking new words, new usage, new ways of saying things. Everybody probably knows this one, but to me it's new--fundamentalists are:
American Taliban
Vocal, well-financed, extreme fundamentalist Christians attempting to legislate the oppression of homosexuals, women and science at the expense of our national schools, national health and U.S. Constitution. The equation of these politically and financially powerful extreme fundamentalist Christians with the Afgani Taliban --violent extreme fundamentalist Muslims-- emphasizes the false patriotism of these American zealots.
