WASHINGTON D.C. - Throughout a rousing rally on Capitol Hill Tuesday, hundreds of Tea Party demonstrators - voicing their disapproval of Barack Obama's presidency - championed the idea of lowering taxes and downsizing the nation's vocabulary.
Speaking over a bullhorn, Tea Party stalwart Terry Higgins gave a damning criticism of what he perceived as the Obama administration's attempt to expand the size of the national lexicon, with repeated use of words like "vitriolic", "insatiable" and "rationale".
"We need rid of Obama, y'hear me?" said Mr. Higgins, in a notably prosaic speech. "There are too many people in this great country who rely on words to get by. We must do whatever it takes to stop that."
