Buzz Buzz Part Deux

Ok, I decided it was fair play time. I will expose some of the buzzwords of my team. Don't expect me to slavishly try to be balanced, in the future. Ya Hear?


Liberal Buzzwords.


Founding Fathers:

Some fairly smart guys from 200 years ago, but We are smarter than them!


Power Grab:

Any attempt to reduce Our Share of the Pie.


Sensible Compromise:

A successful attempt to protect Our Share of the Pie.


Bipartisanship:

See definition for "Sensible Compromise," above.


Values:

Something we have historically viewed as the broader category that the notion of "Morals" is merely a subset of, based on what we learned in our Sociology classes (damn our Northeastern University educations, and ability to use a Dictionary!) But we are trying to change. Really.

Well, at least we have a committee looking into the matter.


Morals:

A value system specifically concerning right and wrong conduct, if not also beliefs. We believe the best foundation for such a system is reasoned thought, as opposed to to a Divine, disembodied voice projecting out of a flaming (yet not burning) shrubbery (except on Sundays, or whenever else our intellectual butts happen to be polishing a church pew.)


Right to Privacy:

Means EXACTLY what it seems to mean, no more and no less (but the emphasis is on "No Less.")


Sex:

Something under the heading of "Right to Privacy."


Lying About Sex:

See definitions for "Sex," and "Right to Privacy," above. (Although your spouse might think otherwise.)


Religion:

Something that we prefer to keep under the heading of "Right to Privacy," if not actually leave as a purely private matter, but the other team keeps trying to make it public.


Spin:

Something the other team is much better at, than we are. Damn that Karl Rove.


Propaganda:

See definition of "Spin," above. Damn that Karl Rove, again!


Karl Rove:

Unnaturally effective Master media manipulator. We Hates him for ever, but want to have one of our very own (and suspect the laws against cloning are a deliberate plot to thwart us from getting one of our very own.)


National Sales Tax:

The one issue we should "take a dive" on, as if it is ever implimented as part of a Republican Conservative Plan, the negative effects on the widest swath of the electorate will be so drastic, and the complaints so relentless, and the desire for revenge will be so universal, that we can likely regain control of the Federal Government for the next 12 years (next three presidential election cycles), and get back to the way things were, in the Good Old Days.



That being said, we will now resume our usual biased blogcasting.
