"Conservatives-- or better, pro-corporate apologists-- hijacked the vocabulary of Jeffersonian liberalism and turned words like 'progress,' 'opportunity,' and 'individualism' into tools for making the plunder of America sound like divine right... This 'degenerate and unlovely age,' as one historian calls it, exists in the mind of Karl Rove-- the reputed brain of George W. Bush-- as the seminal age of inspiration for politics and governance of America today." -- Bill Moyers (b. 1934-06-05), 2003-06-10, Speech to the "Take Back America" Conference

All those words were hijacked-- if they were hijacked, which is hard to tell-- by the middle to end of the 19th century.

This is why Bill Moyers annoys me.
