Heaven forbid that you define it!

The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies “something not desirable.” The words democracy, socialism, freedom, patriotic, realistic, justice, have each of them several different meanings which cannot be reconciled with one another. In the case of a word like democracy, not only is there no agreed definition, but the attempt to make one is resisted from all sides. It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it: consequently the defenders of every kind of regime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using the word if it were tied down to any one meaning. Words of this kind are often used in a consciously dishonest way.—George Orwell, A Collection of Essays, 162

Not a whole lot has changed in 80 years, has it? Take a look around you. Words are thrown around whose meanings are purposefully obscured. Nebulous things that can be used as weapons against whoever or whatever you deem to be the "enemy"—all the while, the real enemy laughs at the deceit you bought into. Wherever you fall in the political spectrum, if you consider someone an enemy, rethink your self-identification as a Christian!
