Putinium
An alternative name for the compound Polonium-210 that was used to kill a critic of the Putin Administration in London. Polonium is so rare or a naturally occuring radioactive Isotope that it has to be created. The sheer gall of the action, however, is nothing in comparison to the big picture. Russia is but a shadow of what the USSR once was; they are in essence a third world country with no real infrastructure of consequence. On top of this assasination, two Anti-Putin Journalists were also killed. The Bear is not buried at all; it lays silent in the shadows, wounded, angry, and above all, dangerous.
Kennedy Factor
In the political realm, an aspect of a candidate that will cost them votes no matter how they spin the situation. This is factually based on the Election of 1960 where John F. Kennedys's religion cost him votes. A woman running for president would have such a factor attached.
John F. Kennedy was a practicing Catholic and the first such Catholic running for president. Due to this fact of his religion, it cost him votes in the election. A number of Nixon votes were for the most part Anti-Kennedy, not Pro-Nixon. Since that time, such an unavoidable factor against a candidate was referred to as a Kennedy Factor.

communard
- A member of a French commune
- The more pejorative definition: an ultra-violent French Marxist faction that arose at the conclusion of the Franco-Prussian war with the sole intent of throwing down the government and creating a proletariat paradise. The end result they sought was a fully state owned infra with high taxes and few freedoms. In this description, a communard is no better then a Trotskyite red; it is a fact that when the reds sought to bring their revolution to the world starting in 1918, France and Bulgaria were the most receptive to their message and as such were guilty of some repugnant actions in the name of Communism. Contrast France's actions with that of Germany or the UK to get a better picture.

"You americans need more government control; the freedom you have is a danger to the world."
"Freedom is a dangerous thing...especially to those who would deny it. Freedom could cause independent thought; can't have that!"
"The french believe in and support their government; they know what is best for their citizens. The high taxes we pay guarantee a working state, with out the dangerous freedoms you americans have!
(Middle finger gesture) Spoken like a true filthy Communard; shove your red faction bullshit up your ass!

Paper Cutout European
Also known as a Paper Cutout Euro or PCEs for short, this sort will be found on various chat/discussion/debate venues. They will prate on about how free they really are despite massive amounts of evidence to the contrary, attempt to compare thir crime rates to that of the USA, despite the massive disparities in population, blindly claim that the USA is the worst polluter in the world without considering Gross Domestic Product, etc. In a way, they are the moden equivalents of those from Europe who decided that all Americans were like the character in "A Fistful of Dollars"; dusty serape well worn, a loaded .45 Colt to settle any slight, and not to be counted out if there was grifting to be done or profit to be made.
The USA has a lot more murders then my European country does!! The USA is a dangerous place to live!!
Interesting....when you do a proportionate/per capita comparison, it seems that your country has more comparative crime per capita, especially violent crime.
We are more free then the USA!
Oh, so that is why that one person was jailed for writing a book denying the holocaust? If they did so in the USA, they would be ridiculed, not jailed; you were also going to talk about tolerance? You assuredly are a Paper Cutout European.

Donkistan
The fabled ( or maybe not so fabled) land where the Donkeys reign (Democrats) This is as scary a place as Liberaland for many of the same reasons. Where as Liberaland is the thought process, Donkistan is the theoretical place of its existence. The leaders of Donkistan are dedicated to voiding the Second Amendment and allowing government to grow until their idea of nirvana is reached: 110% Taxation
Another bill to restrict the rights of law abiding firearms possessors......this crap is straight out of Donkistan!
In Donkistan, the government must protect you from yourself because in their eyes, you are incapable of doing so.

RotoReutered
The equivalent of photoshoppery, but in this instance, the Reuters News Agency attempting to dodge having to take credit for allowing doctored photographs to make the news is inexcusable!
Look! Its a picture of Yasser Arafat walking around Tel Aviv! Man, it looks like some one rotoreutered that pic!

Elephstan
Another fabled place much like Donkistan, but seeming to have more common sense. (Of course if you are silent while your opponent is not...) Residents of Elephstan are dedicated to the voiding of the First Amendment regarding the separation of CHurch and State and letting large businesses run amok without fear of recrimination. Eternally at odds with Donkistan.
