A primer on Liberal Doublespeak, Part 1
A Republican who agrees with a Democrat is a “critical thinking Independent”. A Democrat who sides with Republicans is a “sell-out” or a “Right-Wing Shill”.
A gay liberal is a member of the “emerging LGBT Community”. A gay conservative is a toe-tapping Log Cabin faggot.
A black Democrat is a member of the “disenfranchised voter bloc”. A black Republican is a “race traitor” or an “Uncle Tom”.
An evangelical Democrat is a progressive religious thinker, while an evangelical Conservative is a screaming fundie nutbag.
A gun-toting Islamic terrorist is a “freedom fighter”. A legal gun owner in America is a trigger-happy redneck.
A human fetus is just an “unviable mass of tissue” and can be aborted for free. A bald eagle’s eggs are “potentially” bald eagles, and to destroy or take one is a jailable offense.
Burning an American Flag is protected as “free speech”. Religious doctrine banning homosexuality is “hate speech” and deserving of lawsuits and jail time for the offenders.
Wealthy conservatives are “privileged, greedy, and selfish”. Wealthy Liberals are unselfish benefactors who never think of themesleves.
Liberal-run media outlets only deal in “truth” and hard, “well-researched facts”. Conservative media outlets just “spread Right-Wing propaganda”.
“Blue States” are populated with intelligent, well-educated, thoughtful people. “Red States” are populated with “inbred retards” who flunked the 6th grade.
Democrats are more compassionate because they believe in taxpayer-funded social programs as a means to curing society’s ills. Republicans are mean and selfish because they encourage people to be masters of their own destinies.
A race-baiting liberal preacher is a “concerned social activist”. A traditional Conservative preacher is a “homophobic closet pedophile”.
Wearing a veil over the face in a public school is protected by the “freedom of religion” clause in the Constitution. Wearing a “WWJD” bracelet is a violation of the “separation of church and state”.
Faith-based, atheistic Darwinian Naturalism is “science”. The faith-based, non-religious Theory of Intelligent Design is “biblical creationism”.
Wealthy Conservatives who live in big houses are “greedy, environmental rapists”. Wealthy liberal homeowners who pay others to do their conservation for them through “carbon credits” are “environmentally conscious”.
Big salary and compensation packages for corporate CEO’s are symbols of “corporate greed and excess”. Big taxpayer-funded salaries and compensation packages for public employees are “just rewards for unselfish public servants”.
Taking money by force from an average person is theft. Taking money from wealthy people by force is “social justice”.
White-against-black crimes are “hate crimes”. Black-against-white crimes are “racial frustration”.
Conservatives trust parents to know what’s best for their children. Liberals claim “it takes a village” to raise children, because they think the average parent is a numbskull.
Liberals think the collective is smarter than the individual and the individual should submit to the collective. Conservatives KNOW that 20% of the people wind up doing 80% of the work, and should be rewarded for their diligence.
