To Those Who Substitute Insults for Thought

From Neil Oliver: a biting indictment of the imprecise use of language and name calling in current political debate.  This Scot has a fine grasp of the English language.

Toward that end, we should all review George Orwell’s classic, Politics and the English Language.
