The "Wing-Nut" Dictionary (to help us understand the Orwellian "doublespeak")
In order to better understand the wing-nut mentality, I have put together a list of key words and phrases, along with their definitions, used by "wing-nuts" in their daily political discourse. While this certainly is not a comprehensive listing, it does serve as a good foundation for understanding the ideology.
Liberate - the act of illegally invading a sovereign nation against the will of the native population, leading to the violent deaths of over one million citizens, while also systematically stealing their precious petrol resources.
Terrorist - Anyone in Iraq who objects to the illegal U.S. military presence, including "liberated" Iraqi citizens, who represent over 90% of the alleged "terrorists" attacking U.S. forces.
Democracy - A puppet government, which agrees to cater to U.S. corporate interests while repressing the native population. See: U.S. Democracy promotion in South and Central America since WWII.
Foreign Fighters - Also known as Iranian Terrorists, regardless of what country they actually come from (mostly Saudi Arabia). The United States occupying force does NOT fall under the definition of "foreign fighter".
Defeat - caving to the will of the Iraqi people, the American people and the will of the overwhelming (over 90%!) majority of the population of the entire world. Defeat also means respecting international law, by removing an illegal occupying force, which waged a war of aggression in violation of the Geneva Convention and the U.N. Charter.
Surrender - respecting international law and the will of the Iraqi people. See: defeat
Victory - continuing to occupy the sovereign nation of Iraq against the will of the population (91% want us to leave within a year!) and the will of the overwhelming majority of the world. Most importantly, victory entails creation of a puppet "democracy," which will cater to American multinational corporations by, among other things, passing a new oil law that will essentially give American and British oil company’s enormous guaranteed profits in perpetuity. Victory also means bombing Iran and installing another "democracy" (see: definition above).
"Support The Troops" - a saying meant to quiet any real discussion of a war policy. Used by every war-mongering nation in history, including the Nazis, the term has proven effective in silencing war critics that were hell-bent on defeat and surrender (see definitions above). Whenever logic is thrown at a war-mongering neo-con, one can safely invoke this saying, which will immediately end the discussion.
Nuclear Weapons Program - Generally used to describe Iran's LEGAL nuclear power program. Though no independent nuclear regulatory entity has found a shred of evidence in support of the claim that they are trying to make nuclear weapons, this is the generally accepted term by the U.S. corporate media, Congress and the White House. DO NOT use this term in reference to Israel's enormous and completely illegal nuclear stockpile. Additionally, DO NOT use it in reference to the new, updated nuclear weapons being created by the United States military in violation of the NPT's.
September 11th - nationalistic go-to date that represents any war-mongering endeavor our government seeks to initiate. It is NOT to be used in reference to the September 11th, 1973 CIA backed coup in Chile that overthrew a democratically elected government and replaced it with a ruthless dictator, who installed his own "democracy" (see definition above). Additionally, the date can be used to describe any and all threats, real or imagined, regardless of whether they have any connection whatsoever to the 9/11 attacks in the States. Most importantly, the date must be invoked as often as possible in place of honest political discourse (see: any Rudy Giuliani speech).
Economy - corporate profits. DO NOT think it has anything to do with the economic growth for the average American, whose inflation adjhusted growth has stagnated for the past thirty years.
Entitlements - any policy that helps people without giving enormous profits to the wealthiest members of society. The term DOES NOT apply to the enormous corporate tax subsidies and grants.
Defense Industry - tax subsidized (estimated 30% tax subsidy) war-profiteering machine.
Values - whatever issue gets the sheep out to vote against their true interests or the interests of the overwhelming population of the planet. See: Gay marriage
Influence - corporate control of natural resources. Also known as "regional stability".
Interference – generally used to describe activities, whether real or imagined, by the next enemy on the list in whatever country the United States is occupying. DO NOT use the term to describe the United States illegal meddling in the affairs of other nations, including massive invasions like Iraq.
Dictator – this derogatory term can only be used to describe world leaders who are NOT acting as puppets to U.S. corporate interests. Don’t be confused if the term is used to describe leaders elected in free and fair elections around the globe, as the will of native populations is irrelevant (see: Hugo Chavez) in determining whether one is to be labeled a dictator. DO NOT use the word to describe true dictators who happen to be in the U.S. pocket (see: Egypt, Saudi Arabia etc)
Socialism - G.O.P.- speak for any attempt to help the less fortunate. Most importantly, it applies to any initiative which promises to help citizens by removing the financial ‘cut’ that must be paid to our wealthy overlords, mob style.
Socialized Medicine - any plan that increases coverage and provides better care in a more efficient and cost-effective manner, but does so by taking the profit out of the hands of the Insurance and Pharmaceutical industry coffers, making it therefore 'undesirable' to our corporate overlords. One must always invoke the French system with contempt, but also carefully avoid the fact that the World Health Organization ranks the French system #1 in the world in overall care. Additionally, and most importantly, make sure you imply that the government will be providing the health care with these plans, as opposed to merely paying the same doctor you currently use for his or her services. It is also essential that you talk about the dreaded "raised taxes" when applied to this topic, ignoring that it will actually cost citizens less per capita than the current system, as it does in the rest of the Western world.
Judicial Activism - A ruling by the judiciary which overrules an unconstitutional action by the legislature or executive branch, as is its mandate under the U.S. Constitution. Note: this only applies to rulings which the wing-nut disagrees with.
"A Nation of Laws" - A slogan used to describe the conditions for those in the general population. NOT TO BE APPLIED to high ranking political criminals.
Guest - An extended visit when you determine someone is not running their home the way you think it should be run. The visit will last until they stop resisting your changes or until you get tired of the whole thing and can find someone else willing to clean up the mess. (See: Dana Perino for examples)
Bailout - The act of socializing the risk of the market system to the population-at-large, while privatizing the profits. It involves massive taxpayer-funded cash giveaways to treasury-robbing criminals, who claim to be conservatives, but merely served to rape and pillage the nation's coffers for the good of a small, wealthy elite, in what amounts to an enormous pyramid scheme, which is doomed to fail as the bulk of the population reaches the point where they can no longer perform as good consumers (their only acceptable function); instead succumbing to massive debt and joblessness.
