It's called "politics", not "the Olympics".

Get the Politics mug.Something unnecessary that is done far too often by immature, unintelligent people who feel the need to put a label on everything and cannot accept that not everything fits into their cookie cutter images.
One example of such ridiculous is found in the top definition of the term "libtard" (wow, what an intellectual, mature argument against liberalism lol). According to this definition, the politically liberal are all bound to Hell, unless they agree 100% with every single thing that that the definer and his political party say.
It's so funny how they accuse atheists (and anybody who is religious and liberal, which for some reason is the same as being an atheist to these immature conflators) of not being patriotic, but then will go up to bash about how liberals and atheists are "ruining America" and will bitch and moan about America's current state... but when liberals say that America is great now and can get even better by learning a thing or two form other countries... then suddenly they're antiAmerican communists?

For examples of the immature conflation of religion and politics, just look at the vast majority of definitions on here :) Lol.
Due to the conflation of religion and politics, people honestly think that being a conservative Republican who votes for George Bush, John McCain, Mitt Romney, and Donald Trump will get them into Heaven.
No, "conservative" does not automatically mean "religious" which does not automatically mean "spiritual" which does not automatically mean "Christian" because:
1. There are multiple religions.
2. There are people of multiple political alignments in each religion.
3. Spirituality is often very different from straight up religion.
4. Politics are the most materialistic and manmade system, whereas spirituality/religion AT LEAST IN THEORY is supposed to be a search for the greater truth.
5. Jesus, who was all about letting people into his home, I really doubt would approve of profiling, bashing, and putting a border to stop Mexicans from coming into America.
But of course, neoconservatives will continue to assume that they are the only Christians and, according to them, atheists and liberal Christians and Jews are all one and the same, despite the fact that they have DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT VIEWS ON RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY!
And this is why we can't have nice things *Sigh*

Get the conflation of religion and politics mug.Related Words
Is when a person/blogger cuts and paste others work to express a point. Instead of telling how they feel or think, they find somebody elses work that they think would be the best counterpoint to the others persons argument. Used most notably by "Hermit" on the Led Zeppelin forum to bash President Bush and any other people who he doesn't agree with.

Get the cut and paste politics mug.Political views, liberal or conservative, that are so ridiculously cliche and/or ignorant that they can only find expression on Myspace.
People with myspace politics are generally an embarassment to others with similiar political viewpoints, and more often than not are between the ages of 12-16.
Will often pepper their myspace accounts with such trite, reguritated catchphrases as "Bush is a terorist!!!" or "Liebrals hate Amercia!!!".

Get the Myspace politics mug.The ridiculous which ensues after people don't "accept" friendship requests or "delete" friends over stupid reasons. Those who violently pursue an extended social acceptance and/or are upset when people don't care they go fucking mental, for really no decent reason at all.
John: "Hey bro, my girlfriend's mad. She said it's cuz you didn't accept her as a friend on facebook."
Jan: "But I don't really like her. She's a huge bitch, no offense. Why the hell would I add her; to see all my shit?"
John: "But she won't blow me till you add her."
Jan: "Fuck this shit: facebook politics."
^^ Facebook politics. Ruin everything.
