Gahmuret's definitions

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.

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.

I knew she was an America-hater when she started dissing Ann Coulter and praising Cindy Sheehan.

Gott mit Unser

German for "God is with us." Said to have been inscribed on German soldiers' belt buckles during World War II (which Germany lost).

'Jesus was a liberal' is the liberal version of 'Gott mit Unser'.

Barbara Olson

Ann Coulter's friend and mentor, also an author and television "talking head". Ms Olson died on September 11, 2001 when the plane she was on was hijacked and slammed into the Pentagon, belying the widespread liberal myth that Ms Coulter didn't lose anyone dear to her that day (Ms Coulter has been increasingly shrill and combative, especially on the subject of Islam, ever since).

Barbara Olson wrote two excellent anti-Clinton books, _Hell to Pay_ and _The Final Days_.

Religious Reich

Not content to refer to those who disagree with them as the "Religious Right" or "Christian Right", some moonbats demonize their adversaries further by referring to them as the "Religious Reich".

As far as I can tell, Isaac Bonewits was the one who coined the term 'Religious Reich'.

conservative bias

What liberals accuse any news outlet or commentator who disagrees with them of having (liberals usually deny the existence of liberal bias, since they like to think they're too open-minded to be biased). The term is most frequently directed at Fox News Channel, Rush Limbaugh, and anyone who shows even a hint of civility to Ann Coulter.

Some ultra-left commentators such as Amy Goodwin, Eric Alterman, and Noam Chomsky have tried to prove that mainstream media, widely known for its liberal bias, actually leans to the right, but mostly on the grounds that it doesn't lean as far to the left as they do.

"I never listen to talk radio. There's just too much conservative bias!"

"But if you don't listen, how would you know?"

"Uh, well. . . hey, here's my bus!"
