take back the word WITCH!.

I am an ordained Witch.  AND PROUD!  I have paid my dues, I continually learn by witnessing nature,  I recognize the value of the WORD.  I abhor when the word Witch is used in  conjunction with the likes of certain Tea party candidates.   The word Witch should not be used as a derogatory adjective.  Witches are highly evolved beings (and involved too!!) who not only elevate their community spirit, but also create spirit whereever there might be a lack. So I find it quite offensive when the TV talking heads freely offer people who don't count... lables such as WITCH!
