He Loves Al Sharpton He Loves Jesse Jackson

Isaac Asimov wrote that dialects are only languages of the tongue. He pointed out that there is also a language of the heart.

Therefore, Neighbor A could speak of someone in the kindest, most politically correct terms, and then tie him behind a pickup truck and drag him until he was dead. Neighbor A might speak of people in the kindest, most politically correct language, and yet find a distressing technicality that would keep them from voting or getting immediate aid after a hurricane destroyed their homes.

On the other hand, Neighbor B could employ a politically incorrect lexical item to describe friends he loves dearly.

Which neighbor do you think would be most likely to get elected President of the United States?
