Can we please STOP with the neocon phraseology?? Terror is NOT an external tangible you can combat.

Guys, I am so sorry. This just drives me batty every time I see it. 

“Heightened terror” is NOT a thing — or rather, it’s an emotion you feel as the horror movie soundtrack cranks up the anticipatory tension before the next jump-scare.

Heightened terrorISM is a thing.

A war on terror might best be conducted with a handful of Xanax. A war on terrorISM would likely involve a bit of military planning.

Why the everloving F**K are we accepting and using neoconservative phrasing on this site?

the horror! the horror!
