Sugar-coating the Unacceptable

The first shots of the culture war were fired in the area of language. The liberals and secularists realize that in order to make the unacceptable more tolerable, and ultimately promote it as something that is desirable, they have to remove the sting of words traditionally and appropriately associated with the causes that they champion. Consider the following examples:


Original Politicized
Pro Abortion Pro Choice
Pro Life Anti Choice
The Unborn Baby Product of Conception
Sexual Deviation Sexual Preference
Immorality Alternative Lifestyle
Righteousness Bigotry
Criticism Hate Speech
Biblical Morality Homophobia
Terrorist Freedom Fighter
Merry Christmas Happy Holidays


I'm sure that many more such terms could be added to this list.
