How to Speak Republican By Jonathan Bines | HuffPost | 10/24/11 02:20 PM ET Talking to a Republican can be frustrating. Often, it seems like they are speaking an entirely different language - and in many cases, they are! For this reason, in the hopes of facilitating cross-party dialogue and mutual understanding, I have compiled what I believe to be the first comprehensive Republican-to-English dictionary, featuring words commonly used by Republicans, and their English translations, alphabetized for your convenience: America (United States of): A country located in the N. Western Hemisphere that is #1. Bible: A sacred text that provides incontestable answers when thumped.

IMO: Jonathan Bines has the republican vocabulary (and republican mentality) totally on point. This is a varied, true compilation of their views, however misguided, and allows us to understand them a little better. When listening to a misguided republican/T-bagger, one wonders how they could be so wrong about everything and not know it, but that is part of the success of Fox News, whose motto is: Dont think, just believe us totally. And this is what republicans/T-baggers are so good at, spouting philosophies without having an understanding of them, but going along with it anyway, to be a part of a far right, gun-toting cult. tic
what a stupid, retarded, non humorous, pointless, unintelligent, flamebait, trolling, waste of space, thread. was this meant to be funny? if so it was an absolute and epic fail. my 12 year old could do better. oh wait it was posted by A 286 and came from the Huffington post...now I understand.
This thread really belongs in the humor and satire section. I'm sure to someone here, it is humorous.
..... My goodness, are republicans/T-baggers so desperate, so just beginning to understand their mistake that they cannot find any humor in anything? When humor becomes "Flame-Bait Garbage" to HB Surfer, he/she must be horribly confused....but explain to me what FBG is, please. Is it like your articles? Baby, if the truth hurts, just pass my article by and go on with your life. You really didn't NEED to reply, you know...
My New Conservative English Dictionary is much better: http://www.politicalforum.com/polit...9043-new-conservative-english-dictionary.html
..... Poor baby, did I hit a nerve, or what? You resorted to the republican/T-bagger usual tripe of insulting the article, then the Huffington Post, and then the poster....feel better now?....
I guess you didn't read the rules to the Forum? 14. Off Topic Posts, Trolling, Metaposts and Thread Disruption: While a certain amount of natural topic drift, particularly on longer threads, is inevitable the golden rule is IF YOU DONT WANT TO DISCUSS THE TOPIC, DONT POST IN THE THREAD! But, FYI, I found the thread to be fairly accurate. Guess some people don't like their toes stepped on?
I find it funny. But I have no party affiliation so I can not only laugh at both sides of the fence, I can mock them too! Only once and it was one of the best moments of my life!!
how to speak liberal... "lets make fun of Christianity, well because the churches won't fight back, so we can attack attack attack, and they won't do anything-The beta-males that we are need to attack someone who won't fight back to make our manhood look better"
I don't understand your comment. Are you suggesting that you were once eaten by a lesbian? Or that you once ate a lesbian? Or that you are a lesbian? Or that you're a free range chicken? Just curious.
Democrat version: America (United States of): Racist Bible: Racist Birth Certificate: Racist Capitalism: Racist etc.
....... Yep...TOO curious!! But one learns to expect these questions from a morally corrupt republican/T-bagger. Angry Taxpayer was merely telling us about 'one of the best moments of his life.' I respect his right to disclose that. Lesbians are much better lovers than males; they understand so much more...... Now go back to sleep...
Is it true that Colonel Sanders became a lesbian for the love of chicken? Hahaha. What do you call somebody who runs out of money half way through a sex change operation?
Since we're engaging in a little good natured broad brushing...allow me to resurrect an oldie for a rebuttle
Quit derailing the thread. If you want to start another thread to bash liberals, then do so, but to piggy back on a Republican bashing tread is dishonest and lazy. Oh, I found another thing that can be said about Republicans/cons, they are dishonest and lazy and tag on to another thread.
webrockk: Started to read your little epistle and must confess it was so boring I had to quit....are you boring toooo?
