compassionate conservatism

A phrase coined by the Republicans for the 2000 presidential election in an effort to divert focus from the fact that in recent history the party had not been known for its compassion. Thus, a camouflage over reality, a diversion of attention from unflattering fact, a ruse, a marketing gimmick to cover up a weakness by asserting that you actually have the strength when you don’t.

“In his Inaugural Address, the President called on Americans to become citizens, not spectators. Since that time the President has used compassionate conservatism as his governing philosophy as the Administration has moved to tackle some of society's toughest assignments, such as educating our children, fighting poverty at home, and helping poor countries around the globe.”

conversation ninja

A third party who "ninjas" their way into a conversation they were not originally a part, usually with a comment which mean they have been eavesdropping for an extended period of time, like a ninja striking in the shadows.

Jackie just pulled a conversation ninja. I didn't even notice her before she dropped that comment about her Lexus while we were talking about luxury cars.

Compassionate Conservative

One with mostly conservative views but who wants to differentiate themselves from the more hard-line conservatives of old.

Robin Williams: Compassionate conservative. I don't know what that is, it sounds like a Volvo with a gun rack.

neo-conservative

Unlike traditional conservatives (who advocate small, gradual change), neo-cons advocate the use of force, manipulation and deception to radically change social policy BACK to the repressive pre-1960s days, while keeping the economy free-market thus enabling large corporations to take over the world.

Burn, you filthy, lying, stinking neo-con shitbag.

Conversation

a tool used to make people listen to how horrible your sad excuse of a life is, sometimes used as a torture device for terrorists.

Cop: "He's not confessing, what should we do?"

Other Cop: "Go into the room and start a conversation about your life."

*Cop goes into room and starts talking*

Terrorist: "Please! I'm begging you! Please just shut up! I'll tell you anything!"
