Thought I'd spice things up for Thanksgiving...

As liberal Democrats celebrate their ascendancy to congressional power for the first time in 12 years, I feel it my civic duty to develop a primer for all those moderate and conservative, Independents and Republicans, who voted for them.
By doing so, they will be able to better understand what the person they voted for, as well as the mainstream media, most academicians and pundits, will really be saying in the coming days, weeks, months and years. The following is a list of terms you will be hearing from those newly empowered by the 2006 elections.

Tolerant - The American Heritage Dictionary defines this as, "Inclined to tolerate the beliefs, practices, or traits of others." So, for example, when someone approves of gay marriage, they are described as being tolerant.
However, liberal Democrats are not "inclined to tolerate" all "beliefs, practices, or traits of others." Polygamy is one that comes to mind immediately.
This was very apparent when liberal Democrats brayed in righteous indignation when Rick Santorum had the audacity to suggest that legalizing gay marriage would legitimize polygamy (see Jonathan Rauch and Andrew Sullivan).
Always remember that, in the world of the liberal Democrat, gay marriage is ordained as acceptable. People must show their tolerance by condemning those who oppose it. Polygamy, being a Republican, or being pro-life are different. One can show venomous hatred for them and still be considered tolerant.

Immigrant Bashing - Now in the real world, this means one opposed to all immigrants. However, in the world of the liberal Democrat, the term is applied to those who are opposed only to illegal immigrants, (also known as undocumented foreign workers, undocumented aliens, uninvited guest workers, those who do the jobs that Americans won't do or whatever euphemism du jure liberal propagandists create).
By labeling those opposed to illegal immigration as opposed to all immigration, liberal Democrats can now paint their political opponents as xenophobic racists.

Opposed to Stem Cell Research - Just like "immigrant bashing," is used to deceive the average person into thinking that those who oppose illegal immigration oppose all immigration, the term "opposed to stem cell research" is applied to those who are only opposed to embryonic stem cell research, not stem-cell research using adult and umbilical cord stem cells.

Closing Gun Hole Loopholes - Liberal Democrats believe that the reason there are so many gun murders in our big cities is that guns are being obtained from gun shows. There, according to them, gangsters buy arsenals of automatic assault weapons without having to be evaluated for criminality and sanity. They then use these automatic weapons to wantonly murder people.
Yet, according to the 1997 Survey of State Prison Inmates done for the U.S. Dept. of Justice, Bureau of Crime Statistics, Firearms and Crime Statistics report, among those possessing a gun, the source of the gun was from a flea market or gun show for fewer than 2 percent of the time.
Capital punishment/mandatory sentencing - Liberal Democrats would much rather close gun show loopholes than support mandatory minimum sentences or capital punishment - two proven, effective methods of reducing gun crime and murder.

Great Economy - During the Clinton years when unemployment was low and the Dow Jones Industrial average was high, we were treated to daily stories by the media of how wonderful the economy was. One columnist even suggested that Rubin and Clinton had actually solved the problem of the boom /bust economic cycle.
During the Bush years when unemployment was low and the Dow Jones was establishing record highs - past 12,000 - we were told that this the worst job creation since the Great Depression.

Decreasing Crime Rates - When crime rates decrease during Democratic Party administrations, the news media prominently and repeatedly report it. When crime rates decrease during Republican Party administrations, you never hear it reported in the news.

Centrist Republican (sometimes called Moderate Republican) - These are Republicans who agree with Democrats most of the time. They are usually found in the Mid-Atlantic and New England states. They believe in abortion-on-demand and gay marriage. They are opposed to capital punishment, mandatory sentencing of criminals to prison and increasing defense spending.

Blue Dog Democrats - These are conservative Democrats, usually Southerners, who the Democrats will not allow to speak unless they need votes or to create the impression that the Democratic Party is not the sole repository for left-wing thought.

Reproductive Rights - This means the right to have an abortion, which is, as we all know, the right not to reproduce.

As mentioned, this is a primer. The list is not all inclusive. Some terms will need to be added, and others modified, as liberal Democratspeak is very fluid. This list is strictly a public service - for all those voters who wanted to teach Republicans a lesson in 2006 - so they will understand what is happening.

Now, if your kid has an abortion without your knowledge - and someone asks why there is no parental notification law - you can say it was because of your vote.
Now the next time someone who has a prior murder conviction shoots and kills again, while on parole - and someone asks why they are not in prison - you can say it was because of your vote.
Now when a hostile foreign country has a missile aimed at your house - and someone asks why we do not have a missile defense system - you can say it was because of your vote.
Now when a liberal judge is appointed to the Supreme Court - who will rule that enemy prisoners should be Mirandized on the battlefield when being captured - you will know it was because of your vote.

You can take comfort, though, from the knowledge that, despite all of this, you taught Republicans a lesson. This is, after all, what you wanted.

Happy Thanksgiving. A Very Happy Thanksgiving.

(If we're lucky) Perhaps it will only take years for this nation to dig itself out of the deep hole of crap the people you support have led us into.

"Energy Firms Come to Terms With Climate Change
By Steven Mufson and Juliet Eilperin
Washington Post Staff Writers
Saturday, November 25, 2006; Page A01


While the political debate over global warming continues, top executives at many of the nation's largest energy companies have accepted the scientific consensus about climate change and see federal regulation to cut greenhouse gas emissions as inevitable.

The Democratic takeover of Congress makes it more likely that the federal government will attempt to regulate emissions. The companies have been hiring new lobbyists who they hope can help fashion a national approach that would avert a patchwork of state plans now in the works. They are also working to change some company practices in anticipation of the regulation.



"We have to deal with greenhouse gases," John Hofmeister, president of Shell Oil Co., said in a recent speech at the National Press Club. "From Shell's point of view, the debate is over. When 98 percent of scientists agree, who is Shell to say, 'Let's debate the science'?""

I am more inclined to believe that the basic economic swings are more a function of "business cycles" and not so much the manipulations of political power even though historically, Democratic years tended to enjoy more prosperity than Republican years. I believe though that was more "coincidence" than results of deliberate legislative or executive policies.

The Fed interest rate and monetary policies and its advise to the government fiscal policies especially in recent years, have somehow reduced the extreme effects of business cycles. We haven't seen the types of recessionary pressures we used to see already for numerous years. Luckily the Feds operates independently (at least in principle) of political persuations. Most large economies of the world have similarily learned some lessons of econmic management so globally, our economies behave better.

The beginning of the end of your "1000 Year Reich.

At least we should be able to Vote an idiot into office rather then having one imposed upon us by crypto fascist hyper fanatical zealots and practicing pseudo religious freakozodial hypocrytical snake oil salesmen.

Or do you need references and substantiaton upon request?

And if you doubt one word of this harsh characterization simply apply the concepts to the results of the past 6 years.

"Security Of Electronic Voting Is Condemned
Paper Systems Should Be Included, Agency Says
By Cameron W. Barr
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, December 1, 2006; Page A01


Paperless electronic voting machines used throughout the Washington region and much of the country "cannot be made secure," according to draft recommendations issued this week by a federal agency that advises the U.S. Election Assistance Commission.

The assessment by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, one of the government's premier research centers, is the most sweeping condemnation of such voting systems by a federal agency." etcetera

Let's see how funny you'll find the forthcoming congressional investigations featuring testimony under oath and (very) few grants of immunity.

I can't wait for the laugh icons to appear after sworn testimony, perjured testimony, indictments, fifth amendment pleas, trials, and convictions rendered after a Democrat assumes the presidency following the 2008 election. Then you can wait for the pardon(s). And wait. Wait 994 years.

The Alpine Redoubt awaits. If that fails try Argentina. Whoops. Forget Argentina...no more Peron. So try Putin's Russia. That's familiar territory for the uber right. Remember...You can look into his eyes and trust him.
Forget Montana...Too many Dummicrats there. Couldn't care if you call them Demo... or Dummi...crats. They're all winners to me.

Here we go...some of the government you like.

But don't worry a bit...in a few weeks the rats will be caught in the bilge and held accountable for their misadventures and outright theivery.

(yes...i am still at it...and you need to see it)

"GSA Chief Seeks to Cut Budget For Audits
Contract Oversight Would Be Reduced
By Scott Higham and Robert O'Harrow Jr.
Washington Post Staff Writers
Saturday, December 2, 2006; Page A01


The new chief of the U.S. General Services Administration is trying to limit the ability of the agency's inspector general to audit contracts for fraud or waste and has said oversight efforts are intimidating the workforce, according to government documents and interviews.

GSA Administrator Lurita Alexis Doan, a Bush political appointee and former government contractor, has proposed cutting $5 million in spending on audits and shifting some responsibility for contract reviews to small, private audit contractors." etcetera
