The Word Soldiers
By Stephen Gray


The most powerful soldiers in the country today are the word soldiers. These soldiers can mow down any opposition, win every battle and put the enemy to flight. When they go on the attack most everyone runs for cover. Who are these word soldiers? They are the media army always ready to suppress opinions they do not like. The minute anyone steps out of line and speaks for decency, morality and truth, their metaphor missiles take deadly aim. They never miss their targets for they have endless supplies of word ammunition and have launching platforms for their messages to suppress views they do not like.


These soldiers of the media army are in the T.V newsrooms, The Radio Stations and The Newspapers. They are always ready. Whenever the enemy attacks media approved doctrines such as perverted lifestyles, the killing of the child in the womb, "legalizing" same-sex marriage, or other deviant acts, the big guns of the word soldiers go into action. They take no prisoners. They are the army of the politically correct. Most of the people of the land - constantly bombarded with their heavy artillery words - have been brainwashed into submission. Some people, after surrendering, buy the word soldiers propaganda sheets and listen to them on the broadcasting networks.


The word soldiers can also be heard on discussion panels around the land, interviewing each other on politically correct issues and disseminating their "wisdom" to the watching and listening masses. One such media outlet, the Collective Broadcasting Corporation(CBC) is well known for its battalions of word soldiers. You can be sure in this war against truth, decency and morality, the CBC will be in the front line. But one must not single out the CBC, all the news soldiers of the media army are just as efficient in word assassination. Propaganda wins in any war and the word soldiers are constantly at war, shutting down opposing voices.


The word soldiers spring into action whenever there is a politically correct emergency. One such emergency occurred recently and the media troops parachuted into action. A politician said there is a conspiracy around a protected disease-ridden lifestyle. The propaganda presses went into overtime and a blitz of fiery words landed on the head of this political heretic. The fiery words came in waves: "bigot," "homophobic," "bile," "disgusting," "lunatic," "neanderthal," "extreme," "outrageous," "beyond the pale," hypocrite, loony-tune" "anti-gay rant," "repugnant beliefs"- the word weaponry was awesome to behold. Every epithet in the media arsenal was used to take down this dissident, and he finally surrendered, riddled with word bullets. Nobody could stand up to this firepower. The court martial took place later in front of a battery of cameras - without the badly wounded dissident being present - and the whole country was in awe of the power of the word soldiers. These brave soldiers of the media army had won another victory. This political believer of a sodomite conspiracy was fired by his political commander-in- chief who gave way to the power of the word soldiers.

The word soldiers returned to their barracks to await their next call to defend this "nice" disease ridden behaviour.

These sodomy supporting scribblers proved once again that nobody is able to stand against them in the battle of words. It is expected that there will be some kind of medals handed out for the winning of this latest campaign on sodomy’s behalf. And it is said there will be a parade later on in the summer where the word soldiers will be duly recognized for what they are.
