The Republican-English Dictionary 2012+

Do you get a Twilight Zone feeling listening to people like John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan, and Rush Limbaugh? Does it seem to you that their words are ciphers for things decidedly outside of mainstream American thought? Do you hear a language which shares words with English as you use it, but somehow the meanings are from a reality far distant from your own? Do you hear a chorus of high pitched dog whistles at the edge of audibility designed to speak to someone besides yourself? If so, then consider The Republican-English Dictionary of 2012.

The 2012 Republican-English Dictionary

"You unlock this door with the key of imagination.
Beyond it is another dimension;
A dimension of sound;
A dimension of sight;
A dimension of mind.
You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance;
of things and ideas;
You've just crossed over into the Twilight Zone."
--- Rod Serling
