anarcho-statists

A (usually) intentionally ironic combination of the terms "anarchism" and "statism", attributed to Dr Roderick Long of the University of North Carolina. The idea is to imply the hypocrisy of anarchism by noting how anarchists in power invariably turn to totalitarian methods to enforce their authority. A notable use of the term is in the essay "The Anarcho-Statists of Spain" by Bryan Caplan.

"...the Anarchists preferred to become another predictive success of Bakunin's theory; they collaborated with some governments, established others on their own, and in each case proved themselves to be at least as oppressive as other governing classes throughout history. This is why I call the Spanish Anarchists 'anarcho-statists.' "

fleebagger

Popularized by Michelle Malkin, it refers to a politician that flees their home state to avoid a quorum, and thus stifle legislation from being passed. In the original context, the term referred to Democrats who fled the state of Wisconsin to avoid the passing of a bill that would rescind collective bargaining rights for Wisconsin public sector unions.

"Scores of Fleebagger Democrats are now in hiding in neighboring Illinois, the nation’s sanctuary for political crooks and corruptocrats." -Michelle Malkin, "Fleebaggers" (NRO; 23 Feb 2011)

Leftist-Fascist

A term meant referring to an advocate of Marxist totalitarianism. Countries with prominent Left-fascist governments (as of 2010) include Syria, North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela. Left fascist regimes are typified by secret police, a dictatorial government, ostentacious support for Marxist ideology, and a kinship with other Marxist governments. For a more detailed description of the term, see "Liberal Fascism" by Jonah Goldberg. In regards the former post-war East Germany, see also the term "Fourth Reich".

Leftist-fascists consider the term as an insult, and do not accept the term. But Leftist-fascists also support totalitarian regimes in the name of social justice (see "doublethink", George Orwell). Most everyone else, and especially victims of Left fascist regimes (such as the people of Eastern Europe) find the term quite accurate.

Calling a Stalinist regime a "progressive state" simply because it is ruled by Marxists and is allied with other Marxist dictatorships is not accurate. A government that murders dissidents, executes people who try to leave the country, has no democratic elections and treats its citizens like chattel is more approrpiately called a "Left fascist" regime, and is ruled and supported by Leftist-fascists.

MK-19

An automatic weapon that looks like something from a Road Runner cartoon, or a Half-Life Team Fortress cheat. Fires chain-linked 40mm grenades out of the business end at an inhuman rate of fire, kicking significant ass on the other side when wielded by a competant operator. Can fire HE, HEDP, and a special self-guided round that can locate an enemy insurgent, bore through several layers of clothing into his rectum, and lodge just behind his testicles (where it detonates).

The Saco Industries Mk-19 has made you my bitch, Haji.
