Updating our Political Dictionaries

The GOP would like you to believe that the following definitions explain how the world works:

“Treason” refers to Democrats criticizing a Republican administration during a war.

“Patriotism” refers to Republicans criticizing a Democratic administration during a war.

Then again these are the people who think anal sex isn’t the direct result of abstinence-only sex ed and that Sarah Palin is a genius. So, you know, take that all with a huge grain of salt.

Editorials & Opinion | Don’t confuse them with facts | Seattle Times Newspaper

One of the impediments to dealing with Rethug loonies is that they have decided that making shit up is equal to researching and using facts.

It isn’t entirely their fault. Our media’s obsession with sound bites that distort the truth is an early part of this trend. Our inability – or plan for some – to not teach our kid’s history, science, well, anything doesn’t help. So now, people with bullshit conspiracy theories, lies, and misinformed half-truths can make categorically wrongheaded assumptions and not feel compelled to back down from them even when confronted with the truth.

I mean, seriously, when the facts are not on your side, you need to admit that there is at least another side of the story. At the most, you need to be able to admit you are wrong.

This is something I did note see modelled by the GOP yesterday. When confronted with facts that proved them wrong, they just spouted their lies louder and with more voices. Pathetic.

Fearing an Obama Agenda, States Push to Loosen Gun Laws – NYTimes.com

Remember during the election a couple years ago when all these racist conservatives were screaming that Obama was out to take their guns?

He never said anything much about it, but the idjuts couldn’t stop making up stories.

Well, he hasn’t touched a single bullet, but the Red(neck) States have made it easier for Bubba to own a bazooka.

Oh joy! More Tea Bagging Terrorism to come!

Hell, now you can’t even go to a national park or wildlife refuge without running into some gun-toting moron.

But yeah, sure, Obama is an African, gun-grabbing socialist. What idiots we are forced to suffer.

Joe Stack IRS attack: ‘hero’ debate heats up / The Christian Science Monitor – CSMonitor.com

So, the anti-government terrorist who rammed an IRS building with his plane is now a conservative hero. That, in a nutshell is everything you need to know about why conservatism is essentially anti-American.

They are terrorist sympathizers and their media mouthpiece at FAUXNews is funded by a jihadi funding terrorist sympathizer. Enough said.

Meet The Tea Partiers: Male, Rich and College Educated | TPMDC

Turns out, that when you do the demographics, the Tea Bagging Terrorist Traitors are mostly racist frat boy types.

Now why doesn’t that surprise me?

Here is what happens when they get older. Note, NOT when they “grow up”.

Also, the asshat who though ramming his plane into the IRS office in Austin was a bright move.

Why isn’t he called a terrorist? Oh yeah, probably the color of his skin.

As for the idiots calling him a hero or patriot, including his daughter, can go screw themselves.

Or, as Anthony Hopkins said it in The Edge:

“Never feel sorry for a man who owns his own plane.”
