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.(N)When the winning member of a political battle will make some attempt to help his opponent, it is called a political reach around.
When the democrats took congress, they did a political reach around not to immediately withdraw troops from Iraq.

Get the Political Reach around mug.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.Generalizing all Black people as being African-American, when a black person may actually be from Jamaica for example.
Basing a generalization that someone is from Africa based on the colour of their skin.
Basing a generalization that someone is from Africa based on the colour of their skin.
Example 1:-
Cop: You! African-American, stop or I will shoot!
Jamaican: I'm from Jamaica mon, ya ignorant fool.
Example 2:-
Liberal: You can't call him "Black", he's an African-American!
Normal, sane, civilized, Person: How can you tell he is an American of African decent based on his skin colour without actually knowing the guy? isn't that an ignorant, sweeping generalization and basically politically correct racism?
Liberal: His skin colour is black and must therefore have ancestry from Africa! you Racist!
Cop: You! African-American, stop or I will shoot!
Jamaican: I'm from Jamaica mon, ya ignorant fool.

Get the politically correct racism mug.At term to describe the sad state of politics America in the 21st century.
With the increasing influence of talk radio and so-called new commentators, there is more vitriolic argumenting and shouting than ever. People like Sarah Palin,Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter and Mike Savage are ranting and raving like complete idiots. These people tear down and make up lies about people they disagree with rather than offer any solutions to the problems we face.
This toxic political atmosphere is making political campaigns longer, meaner, dirtier and more expensive every year.

Toxic political discourse is creating a lot of tension, flustration and violence, but few solutions. We need to tone down the hostility in Washington, on the radio and on cable TV, before we destroy ourselves.

Get the Toxic Political Discourse mug.A highly objectionable political or social view or affiliation held by a previously compassionate and socially conscious person after a prolonged, sexual relationship with an ultra-conservative individual. Abbr: PTD.
Shamona was pretty cool until she started sleeping with that neo-con Nigel and picked up that politically transmitted disease... now she's uncomfortable unless she's surrounded by people of pallor.
When he said he was D & D free, I thought that included PTDs. Now I find out he's been a greedy pig ever since he got married to Lauren.
Wtf, you belong to the NRA? Politically transmitted diseases are worse than chlamydia, dude!

Get the Politically transmitted disease mug.Contrary to popular conservative belief, political correctness is not a solely left-wing phenomenon.
politically correct (conservative)
Examples of conservative correctness:
frankfurters became "hot dogs" during world war I
french fries became freedom fries in 2003
David Horowitz's "Academic Bill of Rights"
attempts to "teach the controversy" by creationists in biology courses, and global warming deniers in environmental science courses
Any number of campaigns against plays or films, such as Life of Brian or Jesus Christ Superstar, on the grounds that they are "offensive to Christians;" conservative Catholic groups are particularly fond of this tactic
Encouragement of anti-gay activists to eschew the words "gay" and "homosexual" in favor of such phrases as "unnatural vice" and "anti-Christian"
Global warming deniers whining about being called "deniers." They prefer the term "skeptic."
"Enhanced interrogation techniques"
"Homicide bombing"
Atheist billboards are seen as insensitive to Christians.
Republicans changing the names of committees in the House of Representatives to change "labor" to "workforce" and remove any mention of "civil rights"
Free speech zones
The Dixie Chicks causing controversy by criticizing George Bush
ward churchill getting blasted to high heavens for insulting innocent americans (although this was definitely justified)
The whole fox news "war on christmas" nonsense
Conservatives
are just as PC as liberals!
