Transparent hypocrisy - like preaching temperance from a bar stool; C-SPAN (seen all those televised proceedings that were promised during the election campaigns?);
- like claiming to be a patriot while giving aid and comfort to the enemy (raising a question about whether the Supreme court decision might somehow eventually allow an imbalance in citizens rights while granting a non-citizen terrorist the full legal rights of a citizen)
- is like worrying about global warming, but not about your globetrotting airplane habit or mansion-sized electric bill

Get the HEAR-a-prompter mug.cross hares - (synonym= nasty rabbits) folks who respond to suggestions by the formerly unbiased press - like a bunch of scared defenseless bunnies (hares) - to anyone who dares to challenge (cross) their thinking or utter terms that they can take out of context to claim that they are personally offended - in order to exercise what little power they think they have over others.
Recent trend by some "cross hares" who claim to be offended so they can openly despise and react in anger and rage against those who they claim ...cling to their "guns" and The "Cross", etc.
Recent examples of feigned offense include terms like "cross-hairs", "gun" unless used in gun-control, "target" unless they are going shopping, "aim" unless it is something they "aim to do" against others, "cross" when used in a biblical context, the letter "T" unless THEY use it to call a peaceful patriotic grass movement... "T-baggers", etc.)
