It can't have escaped anyone's notice that the current Republicans only speak normal English by accident. After long and careful observation, I have discovered that they are actually speaking a new language of their own devising. While lacking in sufficient funds to fully investigate this phonomenon, I propose we name this new veracular Bellicose Shouting (or BS for short) and present this look-up table for your perusal:
"Judicial activist" = "This judge made a decision I disagree with"
"Culture of life" = "war"
"Protect the homeland" = "more war"
"fighting them over there" = "unwinnable war"
"Bi-partisan" = "they do what we tell them"
"nuclear option" = "they won't do what we tell them"
"We must instill morals" = "My morals"
"Traitors" = "Independant thought is un-American"
"Credible sources" = "Ann Coulter"
"Very credible sources = "Rush Limbaugh"
"I can't comment on that policy" = "It's my policy"
"I can't comment on an ongoing investigation" = "It's my policy and I've been found out"
"Personal responsibility" = "Blowing covert agents cover"
"Paper-pusher" = "Having one's cover blown"
"Impeachable offence" = "Having one's johnson blown"
"Christian" = "Republian"
"God bless America" = "God save America"
"reasoned discussion" - "traitor baiting"
"A higher power" = "Ronald Reagan"
"Weapons of mass distruction" = "We still have the receipts"
"Irrelevant matter" = "Who got the most votes"
"Fiscal restraint" = "Just ask Enron"
"Fiscal responsibility" = "Making sure Halliburton sends us candidates"
"American industry" = "The companies that give us money"
"Special interest group" = "People who know what they're talking about"
"Public interest group" = "People who agree with us"
"Support the troops" = "Tell them how much you love them"
"A few bad apples" = "The Defense secretary, the VP, the President..."
"enemies of democracy" = "the ACLU"
"Freedom is on the march" = "...away from the USA"
"dictator" = "I am so envious"
"anti-democracy" = "someone who won't play my game"
"Rogue nations" = "they won't give us oil"
"Liberation" = "ink-stained thumbs"
