New progressive lingo

[Votto]

As progressives fast approach Armageddon with their policies, it is important to be able to keep up with their new lingo. Here are but a few terms to identify.

1. War
It is not a war if you attack a sovereign country. It is only a war if that sovereign country fires back or if another country fires the first shot at you.

2. Obstructionist.
Anyone who seeks to stop or attack a progressive policy. For example, Putin is an obstructionist for not wanting to attack Syria and the Tea Party are obstructionists for not wanting to increase the debt ceiling etc. The only other options are to be a "speedbump" that merely slows down their policies, which is also frowned upon but tolerated (i.e. GOP), or a dead head who drinks the cool aid.

3. Political courage.
This term is a red flag, not to be confused with the term "red line", that a progressive is going to take one for the team. In essence, whatever they are about to do acknowledges political suicide or has a career ending capacity. This terms means that progressives in the federal government are about to screw us domestically, internationally, or both.

4. Extremist.
Like the obstructionist, the extremist opposses progressives policies with the added twist of being mentally unstable. After all, who dares question enlightened progressive policies that keep us all from dying in the streets? In fact, they should all probably be declared legally insane.

Can you think of any others?

Sounds like Reaganology

I make no distinction.

Progressives have run the country for well over a century.

Racist: Someone who has objections to progressive policy, but whose objections can't be rationally countered with facts and logic.

White: The race of someone who did something bad that progressives can score political points with. The actual race of the person is immaterial. SEE: "White Hispanic" George Zimmerman

Bipartisanship: A political situation where two opposing parties compromise and adopt the progressive agenda without question or objection.

Freedom of Choice: A concept that decrees the only choice a person is free to make is the choice supported by progressives.

Social/Economic Justice: The idea that money must be taken away from those who earned it and given to those who didn't earn it to punish the earners for crimes they did not commit and reward the non-earners for not being victimized.

Reactionary: Not like you have a real reason to oppose what the president is doing. Nope you're just being reactionary, like that's a bad thing. As if your central nervous system must be failing if you jerk your hand away from a hot stove.
