2. People who refer to the coup as a coup are subject to arrest.
I heard that two weeks ago on Global Report.

3. I wonder if they're free to substitute their own word choice, then, like "house slippers."
It almost seems impossible anyone would try to force a nation's people to NOT call a coup by its proper term.

5. So HE'S the one who started all the uproar. I do remember a time it was hardly ever discussed!
People didn't foam at the mouth at the thought, and no one stalked physicians, hoping to kill them.

You know, I think you've got a point I'd never considered. The right-wing started getting really MILITANT during Reagan, whereas they were only a bunch of malignant idiots before that.
