2. The Totalitarian Party -- the Bushevik Party |
|
They don't believe in Republics.
Too many ways for liberals and other "undesireables" to give voice to their views and have them heard by others.
Nope, I don't see anything in the recent post-Coup incarnation of the Totalitarian Party that indicates their belief in Republicansim, except as more bullshit whitewash to keep the sheep asleep.

always say the "democrat party" so i told him "can i call you a member of the "republic party". He didn't like that, and it's an instructive example, so I say we start using that. Goddamn fascists, they think that their evil "below the radar" tactics like this will go unnoticed. Rot in hell Murdoch.

6. Yes. We need to control language just as they do. |
|
I recall hearing some politicians from the Republic Party commenting that this "democrat" stuff was an intentional denigration. We must counter with the same use of language.
Being called "Liberal" didn't used to be a slur. We gotta turn their stuff into slurs - sauce for the goose, dontcha know.
Thus, I always make a point to refer to bush-types as "the far right" or "neo-cons". I've noted that these terms are being used more and more in the mainstream which means somethong is working!
Using angry, snotty, jokey terms like "busheviks" will not help us. It'll just push the middle ground away.
(OK, I refer to gwb as 'aWol" most of the time now, but always casually as if it is understood that everyone calls him that.)

We don't use bad English. Unlike the rich GOP kids,who could pay someone to take exams for them, we actually had to take our own English tests and pass them.
We should really write Faux and suggest that they hire a grammar editor to catch these obvious errors that anyone with a real journalism degree wouldn't make.
