To the Editor:
The English language, as used in the United States is a rich an protean sea. Often, an single concept will be described by several terms, nearly synonymous but derived from different roots. Witness in the pages of this paper "jihadist" "mujaheed" and "spiritual warrior". The first seems to be a term of opprobrium that no one takes on himself/herself, but we now learn that Sarah Palin self-identifies as a "spiritual warrior". She has a right to practice her religion as she sees fit, but the electorate have a duty to learn that her vision of religion is closer to that of Osama bin Laden than to that of our Founding Fathers.
