I thought this would be a nice "specialty term" for wingnuts. I need help with some examples that will roll nicely off the tongue...
A couple I thought of:
Republican Science Compassionate Evangelical
I'm sure there are many fruity phrases that will bring much glee.
(If someone else already thought of this term, sorry, but I stole it. It now belongs to the people.)

6. Well, there's a word that describes Rash Lamebawl |
|
for now. Let's hope it's "inmate" in the near future.
Compassionate conservatism Military intelligence (always a fave, never more so than when it's applied to the OSP) War to establish peace in the region Christian soldier (think about it) and my favorite of all, a sign that a fad has run its course

7. "catastrophic success" |

Edited on Sat Jun-04-05 07:45 PM by Pockets
Edit: I know Bush used this to describe Iraq, but it also describes what the Republicans have achieved in the U.S.

8. Yes, quite appropriate! See this from Merriam-Webster Dictionary (Online): |
|
ox·y·mo·ron
Pronunciation: "äk-sE-'mor-"än
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural ox·y·mo·ra /-'mor-&/
Etymology: Late Greek oxymOron, from neuter of oxymOros pointedly foolish, from Greek oxys sharp, keen + mOros foolish
: a combination of contradictory or incongruous words (as cruel kindness); broadly : something (as a concept) that is made up of contradictory or incongruous elements
- ox·y·mo·ron·ic /-m&-'rä-nik, -mo-/ adjective - ox·y·mo·ron·i·cal·ly /-ni-k(&-)lE/ adverb
A good description of topsy-turvy, war is peace, cruelty is kindness Bushworld!

With the military's recruitment numbers down, there is no way any healthy human can be both a college student *and* a Republican loyalist.

15. Speaking of Oxymoron I used to see this car with a bumper sticker |
|
saying "Save Tibet" and right next to it "George Bush"
Isn't that CAR and oxymoron?
