reality-based community

Those who put their trust in the facts, as opposed to those who rely on faith. A senior White House aide spoke derisively of the "reality-based community" to reporter Ron Suskind, and the meme spread rather quickly among those who don't think you can get pregnant from masturbation.

Just about anyone who doesn't like Bush.

neoliberal

Not to be confused with classical liberalism or theological neoliberalism, these people believe that a free market brings democracy. The classic neoliberal success story is Chile, which under Allende was a socialist democracy. Under Pinochet, the man the neoliberals brought in to replace him, it was a capitalist dictatorship. Famous for fighting with Argentina over uninhabited islands of no strategic importance. Also known as Thatcherists or neoconservatives.

Ultimately, both parties are neoliberal. It just happens the Demos use some lube when they fuck the world.
