palinism

Derived from bushism, a quote from vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin that makes the nation shake their head and wonder, "Why?"

Palinism

An updated version of McCarthyism, which takes its name from the late Sen. Joseph McCarthy, the Wisconsin liar, demagogue and drunk, and means, according to Wikipedia, "reckless, unsubstantiated accusations, as well as demagogic attacks on the character or patriotism of political adversaries." As far as we know, Sarah Palin is not a drunk.

Palinism will someday become as extinct as the polar bear.

Adherents, known as Paganazis, operate under the delusion that the United States is a Christian theocracy, or that Presiden Bush is a theocrat; additionally, Paganazis frequently living in a debilitating fear about "the Religious Right," which some even call "the Religious Reich".

Despite the fact that no one in America has lost the right to vote or gone to prison for failing to convert to Christianity, Paganazism continues to thrive in the Pagan community.
