One of the major parts of the United States federal government that contains 2 parts: the House and the Senate. Also, members are usually designated to the Republicans, the Democrats or to an independent party. They are pretty powerful since one of their major functions is passing or repealing laws that can effect the entire country. These people work long and hard to try to take away your freedoms every single day by passing more and more laws and bills that are completely useless and unnecessary. These people also tend to act like idiotic butthurt teenagers with too much power in their hands.
These politicians are so butthurt that they will shutdown the government if no one agrees with their views. Logic and reasoning, as well as actual facts and data won't get through to them. One such case is Nancy Pelosi who stated that every month 500,000,000 Americans lose their jobs. The major flaw with her statement is that in 2009 (the year that she stated that), there were only 316 million people in the United States and yes, she said millions. This is one of the examples of the failures of Congress.

Congress consists of 2 parts: The House and the Senate and this branch of government is filled with nothing but butthurt children with too much power and are idiotic to boot. This, of course, is a pretty terrible combination for the country.

Get the Congressmug. Also called scare tactic. This is a strategy that various governments and news media uses in order to scare you into agreeing with their policies or points of view that usually involves some kind of protection or banning something which thus enacts more and more useless laws. This also helps keep the population under control as a scared population is easier to control and is more trusting of the government.
They usually fear monger by exaggerating the story or accounting of the events by using massive hyperboles, speak of the object from a negative standpoint and never from a neutral standpoint, use certain rhetorical words such as "dangerous", "lethal", "contagious", or "aggressive" and use only partial truth or no truth at all (aka lies). Usually true journalism and research is completely non-existent when using fear mongering techniques. When the story or segments airs on TV, they also use menacing or disturbing music to further bring out a fearful mood out of the viewers.

The government and media were using fear mongering when they talk about any sort of bacteria or virus.

Get the Fear mongeringmug. The dumb theory that colleges teaches you that states that all views (or points of views) are equally valid. Pretty much this means that all standpoints, opinions and such are all valid. Pretty much the views of a racist, a neo-Nazi and the such are all just as valid as someone else. But, it isn't hard to take down these people that expresses this theory by just saying:
"Is it true that there's no such thing as truth?"
"Is it true that there's no such thing as truth?"
Political correctness is a very dumb theory that many colleges teach you in order to dumb you down and lower your IQ.
