A nickname for Iowa City, Iowa. Used derisively by some and proudly by others, the nickname refers to the liberal political philosophy of Johnson County, especially in contrast to the surrounding counties and state. Johnson County elects Democratic and/or Liberal candidates in rates uncharacteristic of the state of Iowa. The creation of this liberal enclave probably came about because of the University of Iowa.
As many students of the University will agree, the liberal nature of the area is also probably accounted for by the large number of Chicago area natives who have moved to the area. Many Iowans living in Johnson County and/or attending the university keep their conservative views.
This nickname is thought to be derived from the writings of a conservative reporter in Des Moines, Iowa.

The political views expressed in the People's Republic of Johnson County are typical of the kind expressed in scholarly, educated areas. The reason it is noteworthy in Iowa City is because the surrounding area is very conservative and rural.

Get the college republican mug.Say they represent the people, but really only give a fuck about the rich. Don't do much for the people, but they want to thoroughly check our backgrounds extensively. Since they don't do anything for the people, they need to mind their own fuckin' business and stay the fuck up out of ours. Let us coexist, but refuse to acknowledge each other.

Get the Republican Party mug.Very conservative website, stopping just left of sites like stormfront. In many cases they are actually like stormfront, although their mindless hatred is directed toward Islam, rather than Judaism. The population of "freepers" is predominantly white male, with some (white) women scattered in. The ignorant among them believe that America is totally desegregated, while the others believe it is the fault of the minorities for not acting "empowered." How do you know whether you belong at freerepublic.com? Simple... you are a freeper if *ALL* of the following apply to you:
1. You're white.
2. You're anti-Islam.
3. You believe gays aren't human beings and are living in sin.
4. You frequently use the terms LIEberal and demonRAT.
5. You're right of President Bush on the political spectrum in every aspect.
6. Throwing true conservatism to hell, you support the war in Iraq.
7. You can't hear the word "Clinton" without frothing from the mouth.
8. You insult John McCain, arguably the sanest Republican in Washington D.C., for supporting a ban on torture. I suppose you're right, he's totally unqualified to discuss torture. I don't think I could name a person who has less right to support the ban than him.
If you think my post is unfair or that I am biased, just read any of the threads, particularly ones involving race/Islam.
The comments should tell you everything you need to know about the site.

Get the republican mug.a political organization of elected officials who sell their votes in a mass block, inexchange for campaign contributions "bribes" to vote in favor of those making donations to the crime family against the will an best interest of the citizens of the nation.
Huge donations are given to the republican crime family so that all its members vote for and pass a law to elliminate the standard light bulb because they only sell for 25 cents or so each. Under the new law, these are banned, only spiral flourescent type bulbs containing enough mercury to require a hazmat team to clean if broken are allowed to be sold. These sell for a few dollars each. The light bulb companies gave huge donations to the crime family to get this law passed. The spin was that is "saves energy"
