Translating Lefty-Isms

AOSHQ found this, and it's pretty good.  It's a "Leftism-to-English" translation aid.

Compassion: Feeling good about yourself for wanting to give away money you didn’t earn to people you hope will vote for your side.

Guns: Vicious weapons that force people to kill each other.

Jesus: Someone who shouldn’t ever be brought up in schools, other government buildings, or politics in general unless you’re claiming he was really a liberal who’d be in favor of gay marriage and abortion.

Tolerance: Something that justifies going on hate-filled rants against people who don’t share your view of the world.

Unfair attack: They quoted me.

More at the link.  Helpful, eh?

Alternate view:

Compassion: Should a sick man with no health insurance be left to die? "Yeah!"

Guns: Something you need for self-defense at a political rally.

Jesus: Author of the Declaration of Independence, Constitution and someone all Americans should pray to.

Tolerance: Not applicable to gays.

Unfair attack: They quoted me.

I think you're wrong.

We love gays. But we don't re-define humanity by the exceptions.

Oh, let's not forget that it was Obozo who voted AGAINST allowing medical care for babies who managed to survive abortions.

So--in reality--it is Obozo who opposes care for the un/under-insured.

Why do find it necessary to define humanity?

This is misleading. He (I assume you are speaking of Obama) voted against laws that replicated protections already in place at the state and federal law because the were likely to restrict legal abortions.

He is pro-choice, so it makes sense that he would vote against more restrictive abortion laws when viable fetus laws are already in place.

Whatever you say, Jim.

As it should be. :-)
