A Brief Glossary of the Tea (= New Republican) Party

• Socialist:  Anyone whose politics I don't agree with.
• Anti-American:  Anyone whose beliefs I don't agree with.
• Compromise:  One of the many bad things that those Anti-American Socialists do.
• Taxes:  Another bad thing forced on us by those Anti-American Socialists (you know...it's that money the federal government collects from the blue states and then sends to the red states).
• Terrorist:  Any US president with a Muslim-sounding name.
• Armed Insurrection:  Exercise of Second Amendment rights.
• Torture:  One of those things that's very bad unless we are the ones doing it.
• Freedom of Religion:  The freedom to impose my religion on others.
• Religious Persecution:  Not being allowed to impose my religion on others.
• Godless Liberal:  (see Socialist, Anti-American above)
• "Good" Christian:  One who has been declared so by Dr. James Dobson (apparently this includes that wonderful family man Newt Gingrich but not, say, John McCain).
• Bipartisanship:  Two part definition. (1) If Republicans control Congress:  voting with the Republicans. (2) If Democrats control Congress:  letting Republicans write the legislation.
• Self-Appointed Elites:  President and members of Congress elected by wide majorities whom we do not agree with.
