Media (traditional and non-traditional) keeps calling people they disagree with names, especially the “ism” names. Reporters ask people what they mean when they insult another by saying he/she is a socialist, fascist, etc. Most are unable to define fascist, socialist, communist, or capitalist.

Seriously – if you are going to call another person a name, at least be able to explain WHAT the insult means. Know history (the War of 1812 was NOT between the US and Canada as one Congressperson recently spouted). If you want to protest, be able to articulate the reason for the march, and what the ultimate goal is.
