It needs to be said over and over again. They take a perfectly legitimate word and spin it as a bad word, and they take a really bad activity and name it as a good thing. eg. Clear Skies Initiative actually being a laxity on industrial waste laws and No Child Left Behind being don't teach anything of importance to children, and only teach to some test that's created by Republicans like Jeb Bush so he can profit from its sales.
