neologism 

The promotion of which is the sole purpose of urbandictionary's existence.
Urbandictionary is a collection of neologisms.
neologism by DrIdiot January 13, 2006
An alternate spelling of all right.

Although sometimes considered improper English, it is a completely logical contraction. The words altogether and already are similar contractions that are widely accepted.
Alright isn't a word for retards. It'll be a real English word in dictionaries a few years down the road.

People that criticize the use of the word "alright" are probably guilty of scores of grammatical errors anyway, like everyone who speaks the English language.

David Cobb 

Green Party presidential candidate for 2004, ran with Pat LaMarche.

Was arrested for attempting to enter a presidential debate (which he, along with Ralph Nader and Michael Badnarik were excluded) run by the CPD. Michael Badnarik was arrested for doing the same moments later.

A respectable man with close ties to Michael Badnarik. They share similar and differing beliefs. They held numerous debates with each other, each of them containing less attacking and more debating than the CPD-sponsored presidential debates. Also worked with Badnarik in the 2004 Ohio recount.
David Cobb was a pretty good candidate, but he gave off too much of a hippie aura.

Michael Badnarik 

Libertarian presidential candidate for 2004.

Probably the best and most respectable Libertarian candidate yet.

Worked with David Cobb throughout the election for the fight to get third party candidates into the CPD-sponsored presidential debates. Was arrested with Cobb for attempting to enter one.
I hope Michael Badnarik runs again in 2008.

extreme sports punk

A punk that obsesses over the extreme marketing hype. An extreme sports punk:
rides a skateboard
drives a hummer
has a mohawk
has tattoos
has testicular rings
screams "EXTREME" at the top of his lungs
is an asshole
has an IQ lower than 30
participates in vandalism
hates the establishment for no reason other than the sake of doing so
is full of shit

"ON A SCALE FROM ONE TO TEN, ONE BEING NOT SO EXTREME AND TEN BEING EXTREMELY EXTREME, I'D GIVE THIS A NINE POINT FIVE!!!!!!!! WHOOO!!!! CHECK IT OUT, EXTREME CHEDDAR!!!! WHOOOOO!!!!!" - Extreme Sports Punk #1

Because extreme sports punks have so little personality, they don't even deserve proper naming.

consumer rights 

Your rights as a consumer.

As a consumer you (should) have a right to products that:
a) will not explode and destroy your city block
b) will not burn an orifice in your intestine
c) do not contain heavy metals
d) et
unless explicitly stated that they do.

As Americans, we have seen a large reduction in consumer rights, largely being yielded to allow the expansion of coporate rights because of corporate lobbyists in Washington.
Politicians in Washington are funded by corporations. Corporations don't care about consumer rights, they care about making a profit. Making a profit usually means disregarding consumer rights.

Ralph Nader is a consumer rights advocate.

Great Britain banned Dasani water after finding that it was bottled tap water and contained carcinogens like barium, a poisonous heavy metal. This was a step foward in the consumer rights movement.

It's good to know that although consumer rights have been severely reduced, they're not completely gone yet. We've got a couple years left.

liberalism 

Something that people like Ann Coulter and other neoconservatives misrepresent. The Green and Libertarian parties both embrace the philosophy of liberalism.

Liberalism has nothing to do with economy. It is completely independent of capitalism or any other economic system. Liberalism is a strictly social philosophy.

It is the opposite of authoritarianism.
It is also NOT the opposite of conservatism.

Under liberalism, the government has little role in regulating social affairs. Under liberalism, the government exists to protect liberties, not take them away.
"Liberalism is a political current embracing several historical and present-day ideologies that claim defense of individual liberty as the purpose of government. It typically favors the right to dissent from orthodox tenets or established authorities in political or religious matters. In this respect, it is sometimes held in contrast to conservatism. Since liberalism also focuses on the ability of individuals to structure a society, it is almost always opposed to totalitarianism, and often to collectivist ideologies, particularly communism." - Wikipedia.com

The Bill of Rights is a product of liberalism.
