English only

A law that requires materials and services funded using taxpayer dollars to be provided in English. Laws such as these have only been passed in areas where the vast majority of people speak English, and have for centuries.

Liberals view this as radical and racist because it supports the needs of one group over another. Liberals, as always, are free to fund it by themselves if they feel so strongly about it. But then that goes against the central tenet of these left-leaners: "We just come up with the moral compass, we shouldn't have to pay for it."

Juanita has been living illegally in Texas for 10 years and wants to send her kids to public schools. Unfortunately, they're English only and she doesn't want to learn English or teach them English at home, so she and her friends demand the schools hire translators to teach their kids in Spanish. This, of course, neglects the Chinese, etc. Soon, our country will be a place where everyone can learn but noone can understand each other.

victimhood

Noun. A coveted status sought after by liberals. Victimhood implies that one or more victims are due some form of compensation from one or more offenders. The sought-after compensation is typically economic such as money, jobs, promotions, awards or opportunities such as college admissions. Intangible compensation is often a secondary consideration and usually not directly related to the offense in question, such as the displacement of blame for general achievement failures.

"You can't repeal affirmative action! What about all those blacks that suffered under slavery?!?"

diversity

(Cultural) Originally, diversity of ideas and viewpoints were recognized as important to many different endeavors such as learning and decision-making - the idea being that the over time the best ideas and/or viewpoints would win out in fair competition. Unfortunately, once this concept was generally embraced as a good thing, it was subsequently perverted and has become a euphemism for quota preferences given to politically favored minority groups in such areas as hiring, promotion, granting of federal contracts and admission into educational systems.

Genuine diversity would imply that someone from Greenland or New Zealand would be a welcome addition to increase the diversity of a university culture. Instead, administrators believe their university somehow becomes more diverse by adding one more black from down the road, increasing black % enrollment from 7.23% to 7.24%. Odd how administrators never seem to notice that blacks don't really contribute to diversity anyway since blacks usually restrict their company to that of other blacks in the student union, classroom, fraternity, university clubs, etc.

HOGs

Highly Offendable Groups. Political groups centered around a common trait or cause that are extremely emotional about it, to the point that they will attempt to exact revenge by any means necessary (by POLTER, for example) on whomever or whatever dares to challenge any of their core beliefs.

Modern HOGs are ones centered upon race, sex, and sexual orientation. Religious zealots in the Western world used to be HOGs, but have been offended by so many people so frequently that they have gotten tired and gave it up.

ACORN

Awfully Corrupt Officials for Registring Negroes (ACORN) is yet another corrupt political group hiding under the guise of helping the poor and advancing civil rights.

ACORN might do at least a little good despite their repeated offenses at advising people on how to effectively commit tax fraud and defrauding people to believe they are simply registering voters when they are really aiming to register democratic voters. But isn't it *truly* a mark of shame for the democrats when they benefit so extremely disproportionately from an effort at registering the nation's most uneducated, uninterested and ignorant people to vote? What will they do in the next tight election, court the violent pedophile vote?

Hyperanglicize

Strongly emphasizing the "whiteness" or European (Anglo) characteristics of something, usually villains in movies.

Movies are replete with white villains, but sometimes producers hyperanglicize them by placing strong emphasis on characteristics strongly associated with canonical white culture. For example, British accents in villains are abundant even when the movie takes place in the US. Actors who play villains may already have anglo features such blue eyes or blond hair, but producers want to be sure these features do not go unnoticed and so are hyperanglicized by making them extra-blue (e.g., the colonel in Avatar) or extra-blonde (e.g., Gary Busey in Lethal Weapon).

Stimulus Package

A bill passed in 2009 with the underlying premise that we can borrow money, spend it, and it will make us all richer by "stimulating" the economy such that we can pay it all back and more.

The bill's official name is the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)", which was a forced compromise between the Democrats who wanted to call it the "You Have to Print Money to Make Money Act" and the Republicans who wanted to call it the "Screw our Children with Massive Debt Act"

Reporter: "President Obama, with unemployment continuing to rise, how do you know that this Stimulus Package is even working?"
Obama: "Because without it, job loss would have been far worse and the economy even more depressed."
Reporter: "Wait, how could you possibly know that?"
Obama: "I have a team of people with impressive credentials that told me so after I told them I didn't like their first answer and to give me another answer or be fired"
Reporter: "But, if we can really 'stimulate' our economy by borrowing future earnings and spending it now, wouldn't it just make sense to do this constantly so that our economy is always 'stimulated' and we all become filthy rich?"
Obama: "I like this reporter - Rahm, add him to my cabinet"
Rahm Emanuel: "Uh, sir, I think he's being sarcastic..."
