Am I the only one who gets creeped out every time they hear a US politician refer to our country as the 'homeland'?

I just don't think we should use that word. It has a lot of horrible, horrible connotations. It's white-supremacist language. It's fascist language. I'm not saying that anyone in the current government is either a fascist or a white supremacist; I'm saying that it's bad PR, and that bringing such language--which is already popular with people we all agree are loathesome--into common usage could help extremist groups seem more mainstream. And we have quite enough terrorism to deal with as it is, without encouraging our own domestic ultra-right brand any further.
