Air America

A liberal radio network trying to do on commercial radio what NPR (National Peoplesrepublic Radio) has been doing on the non-commercial end of the FM spectrum since the early 1970's. Ironically, "Air America" has also been the name of the CIA's (Central Intelligence Agency) private airline since 1959.

Promise Keepers

A pan-denominational Christian men's organization, the Promise Keepers frightened liberals during the 1990's by their public commitment to being better fathers and husbands and more sincere Christians.

corporate media

A term used by people (i.e., communists), who think that all corporations are evil, therefore news outlets which corporations own are untrustworthy. These people are usually so far to the left that they fail to notice that the mainstream media leans to the left. This is especially ironic, since it is this leftist, liberal bias which makes mainstream networks untrustworthy -- not its "corporate ownership."
"Amy Goodman likes to whine a lot about 'corporate media.'"

Who would Jesus bomb?

An ungrammatical slogan occasionally appearing on the t-shirts or bumper stickers of those who can't handle concepts too big to fit on t-shirts or bumper stickers.

The correct form is "Whom would Jesus have bombed?"; since Jesus was a first-century Jewish nationalist, the most likely answer is, "The Roman Empire."

"Who would Jesus bomb?" was undoubtedly inspired by "What would Jesus do?", a question best answered by "We'll never know. Jesus wouldn't have gotten himself into the mess you're in."
You really look sharp in that 'Who would Jesus bomb?' t-shirt -- NOT!

America-hater

An American citizen, invariably by birth, who feels guilty about living in a country so wealthy and full of opportunity that they turn their resentment outward. They are usually spotted by snide or disparaging remarks about capitalism, wealth, the private sector, Republicans, the military, and the Founding Fathers; during wartime, they express sympathy for the enemy.

closed-minded

The opposite of open-minded (DUH-uh!).

Many people are under the mistaken impression that the first person who says "You're just being closed-minded" in a debate is automatically the winner; frequently, the first person who says this has simply run out of facts.

Contrary to popular belief, it's also not always bad to be closed-minded, especially towards ideas which are easily demonstrated to be false or foolish.
I'm very open-minded about space exploration, but I'm very closed-minded about doing a space walk without a spacesuit.
