In listening to our President, I've found that when he uses a word or phrase it means just what he chooses it to mean - neither more nor less. This often leaves the rest of us in the dark as to exactly what he's talking about. We need to improve the quality of communication between the White House and the nation. My solution is to start compiling a dictionary of Bush Speak. I've started with a few entries below. Anyone who wants to contribute is very welcome.
The Department of Homeland Security A cabinet-level department entrusted with the job of making the “Homeland” secure.
The Homeland A synonym, used mainly internally, for the Bush Administration (Also see, “Homeland Security”)
People of Faith Theocrats
Islamo-Fascists See, “People of Faith”
To Stay the Course To sit tight and hope that the Iraqis manage to kill themselves off before they are able to kill off all of our soldiers
The Terror Threat Level Indicator A color-coded scale which indicates how terrified of the opposition the Republicans are feeling at any given point during an election campaign. Red means that they’re really running scared.
A “Good” Man/Woman A major campaign contributor; a person placed in a position of power within the government for which he/she in totally unqualified; an incompetent.
A Town Hall Meeting A group of Republican Party faithful who have gathered to hear the Leader or his anointed speak and to offer him or her praise and adulation. Town Hall Meetings are not open to the public.

the treatment given the Republican opposition to anyone who disagrees with or threatens their absolute hold on power. Favorite target are true Patriots that fall left of center.
