re: #7 LudwigVanQuixote

LOL it would follow Ludwig’s law:

If a rightwing organization or bill has a perfectly reasonable, wholesome and “how could any one be opposed to it name,” it is pure evil.

I see two name structures at work:

1> (Wholesome adjective) + (wholesome noun) + (wholesome synonym for “group”). Hence American Family Association. Family Values Congress. Patriotic Citizens Caucus.

2> (Wholesome adjective) + (wholesome noun) for (different wholesome adjective) + (different wholesome noun). Thus Patriotic Americans for Family Values or Family Members for Constitutional Liberty.

It’s fun! Anybody can play!
