socialism

The national highway system is an example of socialism.

moonbat

Derogatory term for a liberal activist, implying that s/he is a lunatic. The opposite of wingnut.
Conservative Jones, Boy Detective: You're just in time. My colleague, Glenn Beck, has brought a mystery to my attention! The Fasces is an ancient Roman symbol co-opted by the Fascists. Now look at the back of the Mercury Dime, minted by Woodrow Wilson, and what do you see? It's proof that Democrats are historical fascists!

Moonbat McWacky: Actually, the Mercury Dime predates Fascism by several years, and the same symbol can be found in the Oval Office, Congress, and the Lincoln Memorial.

Jones: Good God, Moonbat, do you know what that means? Fascists have been trying to take over this country... since before they even existed!

homophobe

Someone who repeatedly whines that homosexuals endanger family values and the sanctity of marriage, until outed as a closet case, desperately afraid of the gay person looking back in the mirror.

Someone who calls homosexuality a "lifestyle choice" but their own biology disagrees. Think about it: did you CHOOSE to be straight? As a teenager did you sit down one day and decide whether to be attracted to boys or girls?
It isn't surprising that stories about homophobes (like Bob Allen, Roy Ashburn, Bruce Barclay, Larry Craig, John Curtin, Mark Foley, Matthew Glavin, Ted Haggard, Phillip Hinkle, Glenn Murphy, Brent Parker, George Rekers, Ed Schrock, etc) often end with "was caught behind the restroom with a cock in his mouth".

Willard Mitt Romney

Romney's full name. Oddly enough, he didn't like being called Willard, and chose to go by his middle name instead.

His father, George Romney, named him after hotel magnate J Willard Marriott and his uncle Milton Romney (nicknamed Mitt).
Willard Mitt Romney or Barack Hussein Obama. Either way, we'll have a president with a weird name.

eastwooding

Posting pictures of someone arguing with an empty chair.

The latest instagram fad, hopefully to replace epicurean planking.
"You're crazy, you're absolutely crazy. You're getting as bad as Biden." - Clint, #eastwooding

ObamaCare

The Affordable Care Act limits insurance premiums and mandates personal coverage. It's basically identical to RomneyCare, enacted by Mitt Romney in 2006.

The mandate was originally proposed in the 1990s by Newt Gingrich and the Heritage Foundation, as a free market response against Hillary Clinton's plan.
ObamaCare is RomneyCare.

ProTip: If it's based on for-profit insurance companies, it's not "socialized medicine".

anti-intellectualism

Hostility towards people who care about facts and education.

The mentality that truthiness satirizes.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov
