pro birth

Someone Who is against people having the ability to have an abortion regardless of the health of the mother or the health of the fetus. A Pro Birther differs from other groups against Abortion in that they don't care what happens to a child brought into the world after a women is forced to give birth nor the complication a mother might have afterwards. Birth defects, stillborn it doesn't matter to a pro-birther as long as the mother to be is forced to adhere to the cultural values of the Pro Birth movement.
Once the child is brought into the world it's no longer their problem nor should the goverment do anything about helping the child using taxpayer money.

"She's not pro-life , but Pro Birth" said David. Otherwise she would have cared the life of the mother to be when she died carrying the still born fetus to term.

Politically Correct Card

The act of using the term Politically Correct in an political argument or debate in an effort to cover for not stating one's unpopular opinion. Mostly done out of cowardliness to avoid being criticized for sharing their unpopular opinion for fear of being ridiculed or in an effort to cheaply stifle someone's well explained opinion.

Being confronted with an well argued opinion opposed to Paul's point of view, Paul decided to play the Politically Correct Card instead of giving a proper counter argument.

What the matter with that guy? All I did was state my view on the matter and they accused me of being a Socialist. Don't let it get to you they are suffering from Tea Party Derangement Syndrome (TPDS)

NRA Zombie

A Gun advocate that takes arguments made by the National Rifle Association at face value regardless of how absurd they are. Unlike regular Gun Advocates that are willing to have a calm and reasonable discussion with those whom they disagree with, the NRA Zombies have weak critical thinking skill and don't believe in fact checking before accepting what is said by the NRA.
When approached with anything outside the NRA narrative, the NRA Zombie is reacts with...

* Denial accompanied with Confirmation bias

* ad hominem attacks, including and not limited to falsely questioning one's love of country
* Empty References to Freedom
* Or verbal hostility

Paul knew by the vitriol being thrown when he mentioned the word universal background checks, that he was not talking to a regular 2nd amendment advocate. Instead he had encountered an NRA Zombie
