Stop the Pendulum's definitions
A white, largely Southern, social conservative opposed to social progress, civil rights for nonwhites, and political equality. They were the old Dixiecrats who have switched to the Republican party. They're now also known as Dixiecans.
Characteristics of a Dixiecon include: overt or thinly veiled white supremacy; in-your-face sexism; an outward show of patriotism by flag waving while at the same time evading taxes and military service; religous fundamentalism; and (active or passive) allegiance with white supremacist hate groups, better known as domestic terrorist organizations.

Dixiecons have this country held hostage to their small-minded, redneck views. They're trying to pass unconstitutional voting laws requiring photo ID. They claim it will reduce voter fraud (read: large minority turnout), but in fact, it's designed to keep poor people, especially the elderly, disabled, and minorites, from voting out the Dixiecon mafia.

Get the Dixiecon mug.To behave more courageously and/or maturely: to behave like a grown woman as opposed to acting like a little girl. The female equivalent of grow some balls or grow a pair.
Evil right-wing bitch Ann Coulter should grow some ovaries and make amends to Democrats she slanders instead of writing libelous books accusing liberals (read: any civilized human being) of her own wrongdoings. BTA, she probably wasn't born with ovaries.

Get the human catnip mug.Old school, pre-1960's style liberal; center-left populist.
A paleoliberal typically espouses the following:
1. protection of the right of workers to organize and bargain collectively
2. protection of the interests of the underdog against the whims of the powerful.
3. supports the right to individual privacy within reasonable limits; does not include abortion rights (see definition #2) or gay marriage, but does include keeping the government from snooping on your reading habits.
4. The right for minorities to be free from discrimination in employment, housing, public accomodations, etc., thus protecting their rights from the tyranny of the majority without diluting majority rule.
5. the inherent, affirmative right to vote and have your votes counted as you intended, without interference from fraudulently programmed voting machines designed to "flip" votes.
6. The right to life means the right to a decent life, for both born and unborn. Paleoliberals don't divorce the sanctity of life from the quality of life, unlike Christofascists or left-liberals.
7. May or may not support the death penalty, although I personally oppose it except for war criminals, deposed dictators, wartime traitors, and/or serial killers who pose an escape risk.
8. Embrace gender equity. Man and woman are to be treated as equals under the eyes of the law and their differences are to be respected, not derided.

I can't wait for Bob Casey, Jr. to trounce Rick "Man on Dog" Santorum! We'll have a true paleoliberal Dem representing Pennsylvania, as opposed to a right-wing VIRGINIAN posing as a PA Republican!

Get the paleoliberal mug.An idiot with so great a self-esteem issue that he or she is bigoted against members of his or her own race, gender, national origin, religion, or culture.
What a self-hater! She's whiter than snow yet she not only thinks she's black, she has the unmitigated gall to tell me I'm the hater because I have a problem with those who won't accept themselves as they really are.
I'm tired of conservative women, self-haters who parade around telling us women shouldn't vote.

Get the self-hater mug.The ability of someone to ferret out the truth about you without your saying one word; psychic powers. You either love or hate someone with this quality.
You have to be honest with this lady. Her swami sense is so keen she knows you're a liar before you even open your mouth!

Get the swami sense mug.The unwritten law that dictates that a the wishes of an unmarried woman's or girl's female friends trump those of a men she wants to have a relationship with. This law exists to protect said woman from being roosterpecked or whipped and her boyfriend's a pig or a man slut.
Better known as ladies first and to hell with your boyfriend.

Yo, lady, don't let that male chauvanist pig tell you what to do. He thinks you're just another piece of ass. After all, it's sisters before misters.
