A Puritopian is a self-described liberal or progressive whose political orientation is to be angry, dissatisfied and unhappy with the state of the nation, because in their view, liberal policies are not being implemented quickly or forcefully enough. They have particular contempt for Democratic presidents.
They are ideological purists who disdain compromise and incremental change, which they see as "selling out" liberal ideas like full employment, an end to war, and liberal social policy. Their views can often sound like utopian fantasy where opposing views never exist.
Puritopians dislike Republicans but reserve their greatest disdain for Democratic presidents, whom they relentlessly attack for not meeting a set of ideological goal posts that are constantly adjusted to ensure that the president will be deemed a disappointment, "not progressive enough" or "just like a Republican" no matter what policy achievements are made.
Puritopians routinely dismiss or ignore congress' role in making or impeding policy, believing presidents can simply "use the bully pulpit" in order to overcome constitutional or legislative obstacles.
Puritopians have an affinity for 3rd party politics as a way to punish Democratic presidents. They are especially hostile to President Obama and deem anyone who expresses a lack of ill will toward him to be "Obamabots" and enemies of liberalism.
Puritopian supersedes Emo Progressive. (Seen as too pejorative).

Example1: After Eric Holder announced congress had blocked the Justice Department from trying 9/11 mastermind KSM in civilian court, social networks lit up with puritopians complaining that President Obama had broken his campaign promise to end military tribunals. Their criticism did not mention congressional Democrats who helped block Holder.
Example2: Puritopians dismissed healthcare reform as a failure, saying President Obama should have used the bully pulpit to achieve a single payer system, despite the fact that Sen. Harry Reid made it clear that such a plan could not pass the Senate.

Get the Puritopian mug.by betito79 September 26, 2007
Get the penitoris mug.A Punita is a person, usually female, of Indian origin, specifically from countries that are predominately Hindu. A Punita is someone who is super kind and so hilarious. They usually have an enormous heart and are constantly looking out for the people around them. One fun fact about Punitas is that they are really into cheesy jokes and can NEVER remember actors names. All in all, they are the perfect friend :)

Get the Punitive D mug.The name of a gay superhero by the name of Jean-Paul. A word gay men would use to call wimpy gay men. Putito is also meant as an insult in the hispanic community.

Get the Putito mug.punto rojo is a spanish/mexican/latino/mexican-american/cholo phrase for a marijuana cigarette (which our squad would not condone the possession of). it means "red point" and describes the tip of the spliff or bone having the glowing red cherry (which our five members retain full and intact possession of).
this is a relatively obscure term, but will win you favor from the hippest mexican people when used over the more "streety" lenyo.

Get the punto rojo mug.From the word 'puny' meaning below average in size. Punite has evolved into a derogatory word meaning a man with a small penis.
