The Way Forward to the next Insulting Slogan.
These guys have come up with some real doozys over the years, nifty little slogans that sum it all up to fit on a bumper sticker or button, so that even we, the vast herds of dumbasses can understand it.

Compassionate Conservatism. Freedom is on the march. Fight them over there, mission accomplished, together forward, the way forward, turning the corner, stay the course, don't stay the course, weapons of mass destruction, post nine eleven thinking, the insulting slogans go on and on, dropping into our heads like bon bons off an assembly line.

What are some of your most cherished republik 'newspeak' insulting slogans?

10. "homicide bombers" - even the corp media didn't repeat that one
more than to point out that the bushies were trying to push that terminology.

12. "The Democrat Party ___________"
Fill in the blank with any insult out there. It doesn't matter.

The Republic Party is depressingly consistent with this stuff.

We expect no less than a barrage of statements that insult our intelligence, our patriotism, our morals, and ourselves.

To hell with the lot of them.

21. according to Bush,
they died defending, or defeating, an ideology . . .

3000 American soldiers and tens of thousands of Iraqis died . . . and somewhere, someone supposedly changed their mind.

25. Freedom isn't Free...
every time I see that bumper sticker I want to stop the person driving that car (or more likely SUV) and say, "What have YOU done to ensure MY freedom?" Hey, that would be a good bumper sticker! *lol*
