New Words

New Words

Words created to define new political concepts, or to protect a political ideology. These words are used to make an idea more acceptable. Some word's apparent meaning is opposite from their actual meaning. (comparable to words such as Ministry of Truth, Goodsex, and Joycamp in Orwell's version of Newspeak).

Anti-Government Groups - A group of people that possess an irrational fear the government, who will probably end up being arrested or killed some day.

Compassionate Conservative - A conservative that acts like a Democrat in order to get elected. They may try to change the programs to limit Federal control, but they do nothing to stop them. In other words, a conservative who supports a limited amount of state-socialism in order to keep the surplus labor force alive.

Conspiracy theory - Any theory which suggest that some person in power is actually lying to the public. As we all know, our democratic leaders would never do such a thing. But these theories are still speculative, since it is difficult to determine exactly what they are lying about.

Ebonics - Dialect of English spoken primarily by African-Americans. Ebonics has roots in African languages and Creole, but it primarily consists of pre-existing English words with new definitions and clipped English speech. For an example of Ebonics, watch the movie "Airplane". This movie contains a scene in which two "Jive" speaking African Americans require a translator in order to speak to a stewardess.

This term represents an attempt to give "jive" the status of a real language. Although in reality, it is merely poorly-spoken English sprinkled with street slang.

Economic Justice - see State-Socialism

Environmentalist -. One devoted to a political agenda, whose main goal is to "save the world". They fight for legislation to protect the environment, no matter the cost and its effect on the general populace.

The logic behind this agenda is primarily based on bunk theories and speculation, but the "better safe than sorry" attitude prevails. Even though the theories that this belief system rest upon cannot be proven, they are argued as if they were gospel.

A few people have e-mailed me, taking issue with my characterization of Environmentalism. Allow me to cite one example of "Environmentalism gone bad" to prove my point. Take "global warming" for example. There have been several studies that show an increase of global temperatures of about 1/2 of a degree over the last 100 or so years. Environmentalist take this data and extrapolate it over the next century and claim that global temperatures will rise as much as 10 degrees, causing floods, famine, etc, etc.

The basis for these wild claims are studies which show a minute change of about 1/2 of a degree over the course of recorded history. But, all of these studies have one basic flaw - These studies rely solely on temperature data collected from weather monitoring stations. Every one of these studies chooses to ignore weather balloon data, which for some reason shows no indications of global warming what-so-ever.

You may be wondering why is there a discrepancy between these two data sets? Allow me to explain. Weather stations are often located in urban centers, and are thus susceptible to the "Urban heat island effect". You may have never heard of this term before, but I'm sure you are familiar with its effect. Have you ever been listen to a news report, and wonder why the temperatures in heavy urban areas are almost always a few degrees higher than the surrounding rural areas? If you've never noticed it before, I'm sure you've heard the weatherman say something like, The temp is currently 85 degrees in the country, 88 in the city. This is the "urban heat island" effect. It is caused by the fact that concrete absorbs more heat (reflects less light) than trees and other vegetation, and some of these weather stations are smack dab in the middle of this concrete jungle. As more areas become urbanized, more of the data which is collected will be skewed by this effect. Don't be alarmed. This does not mean that the planet is warming. It just means that the air inside the few square miles of the inner city is being warmed, but this has no real effect on the planet at large, since urban areas account for a very small percentage of the Earth's surface area - and only effect the atmosphere near the surface of the planet. This is why weather balloon data shows no increase in temperature.

This "urban heat island effect" can easily explain the .5 change in surface temperatures. Any meteorologist can tell you that. When you consider this fact along with the fact that weather balloon data shown NO increase in temperature, the only conclusion one can reach is that there IS NO GLOBAL WARMING! NONE! Any scientist worth his salt would have to agree, yet politicians choose to ignore the facts, and continue citing these flawed studies in order to push through their globalist political agenda. Even worse, anybody that does not fully accept all these theories as fact is branded as a heretic, and an enemy of the planet.

Don't get me wrong. I believe that we should be finding ways to limit pollution and save energy. I just have a problem with the federal government passing frivolous legislation - legislation that will end up having little of no effect on the environment, and will end up costing consumers billions of dollars - and justify these extreme actions with fraudulent studies.

We computer nerds have a saying -- Garbage in, Garbage Out. If you don't have accurate studies on the environment, you will never be able to find out if anything is actually damaging the environment, and therefore, you will never be able to fix any problems. Why are we wasting our time and money with vehicle emissions tests, when there is no sign that it is having any impact on the environment! Emission tests may be warranted in L.A. (Which has a very high population density, unique geographical features, and lots of industry, which combine to produce their smog problem), but leave St. Louis alone! Don't force consumers to waste money on removing Freon if you aren't really Sure that the hole in the ozone isn't natural phenomenon! Don't ban pesticides & other chemicals if there isn't any proof that these things have any significant impact what-so-ever on the environment. If there are any genuine environmental dangers, they will surely be obscured by all of these fabricated studies.

Extremist - Somebody that thinks differently than you. Anybody that has an opinion that differs from current government policy. (see : Orwell's oldthink) This term allows politicians to speak of their rival's agendas without actually having to explain exactly what their rival's beliefs are.

Genocide - Traditional warfare. Virtually every war in the past had generally the same goal - securing more land for your 'tribe'. If the native inhabitants were useful, they were allowed to stay on the land and work - and turn over a portion of their production to the new rulers. Otherwise, they were forced from their land. The only exception was 'civil wars', which were fought between members of the same tribe. Today's society is much more advanced. We fight wars for purely 'economic' reasons only - such as securing our oil supply (Desert Storm), or preventing the spread of anti-capitalist governments (Korea, Vietnam). Fighting a way to improve the life of 'your people' interferes with the UN's desire to rule the world - which requires all the people of Earth to 'get along'.

Global Warming - The belief that man is destroying the planet. Most measurements (but not all) show an increase in temperature of about 1/2 of a degree over the last 120 years. The whole theory of global warming itself is difficult to prove, and the theories people have come up with to explain this small fluctuation are entirely speculative. There is evidence that shows that the Earth's temperature regularly fluctuates, and has been doing so for million of years. But for some reason this is now our fault, and only hope for salvation is to submit to some sort of global authority.

Hate Crime - A real crime which is punished more severely because the person is also guilty of a Thoughtcrime.

Herstory - The study of women's affairs, separate from male-biased "history". This word can even be found in some modern dictionaries. This absurdity is allowed in spite of the fact that the word "history" has nothing to do with gender, but comes from the Greek word for "knowing".

Homo-phobia : (Literally "fear of sameness"). Used to describe someone who disagrees with the political desires of a homosexual.

Infomercial - A half-hour long commercial. With infomercials, television complete abandons the guise of existing to "entertain" the public, and sticks to its primary reason for existing... advertising. Although this term wasn't coined until a few years ago, infomercials have existed since the very beginnings of the entertainment industry.

"Entertainment shows" are nothing more than advertisements for movies and television shows, but are made to appear as "real news" ... "Music Videos" are basically 3-minute commercials for CDs ... "Sports News" keeps the public from losing interest in sports, and keeps them buying tickets and a whole array of overpriced sports merchandise... Talk shows are crawling with actors trying to "plug" their new movies.

Sure, these shows don't flash "800" numbers on the screen for you to call to make you purchase directly, but they probably generate more revenue for their own "Entertainment industry" than Ron Popiel could ever make selling guinsu knives or juice-a-matics. But, at least Mr. Popiel was honest about what he doing.

Left and Right Wings : Terms that limit the range of expression when discussing issues. The idea that there are only 2 sides to every argument, the Republican and Democratic sides. These terms give the public the idea that there are only two possible sources of ideas, and that these two "opposing" sides represent the entire gambit of thought.

Militants - People that hold beliefs that are different from yours, and refuse to change their mind.

Misogynist : A man who hates women as much as women hate one another. (By: H.L. Mencken)

Minority : In some ways, anyone can claim to be a part of a minority. (Even 'White Males' are a minority) This can often be used to your advantage.

Multiculturalism : Belief that a county is merely a piece of land, and not the old notion of it as a organization created to unify people of a similar culture.(See :Borders)

Nation Building : (See: Neo-colonization) The act of forcibly installing a government in a third world country which will protect our ‘interests’. But in contrast to classic colonization, we allow people from the conquered nation to rule it themselves. This eliminates any appearance of ‘outside’ rule.

They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Ben Franklin, 1755

National Security : An excuse for the government to ignore the constitution. (We all want to be ‘safe’ don’t we?)

Negative Campaign : When a politician has the nerve to inform the public of another politician's wrong doings. You often hear politicians and the media complaining about negative campaign ads because government officials hate to be reminded of how corrupt they actually are, and the press hates this type campaigning because it makes people wonder why the media didn't report this information to the public in the first place.

New World Order : A world in which all people live peacefully, under the control of the U.N.

Non-conformity - Most politically correct people will swear to you that they're non-conformists, usually on the basis that they're into performance art, vote for democrats, have a nose ring, or because they make some other sort of superficial fasion statement.

Peacekeepers : A soldier that occupies a foreign nation. In the old days, when the USSR would do that type of thing, we called them an occupational force.

Peace Process - A process which will ultimately lead to war. The process of getting oppressed people to shut the hell up and embrace their occupiers.

Politically Correct - Adhering to the principles of newspeak. This phenomena is a tool of liberals to erase the opinions of the past, and to help propagate new ideas. It is rooted in the same motives as "Newspeak" from Orwell's 1984. Although "Political Correctness" may not be as wide-reaching and all-encompassing as its literary predecessor, "Political Correctness" is equally as insidious and oppressive to free thought.

Reform - More laws. But we are told that these new laws will to correct the flaws in previous laws.

Retribution/Retaliation - "They started it!" Terrorist have absolutely no reason for attacking us - The US has never harmed anybody else. We are totally shocked that anybody would want to harm our citizens. These people leave us no choice but to invade their countries, track them down, and blow them to bits.

Right to Welfare - I'm still searching the constitution for this one.

Right to Work - Implying that Government should guarantee a job for everybody. (See : State-Socialism)

Sexism - Adhering to the old way of living in which each member of a marital unit took on a particular role. (see : Orwell's oldthink) Replaced by the idea that BOTH members of the marital unit should labor outside the home, and should leave the task of raising children to TV and public schools.

Sexual Harassment - Illegal Flirting. (See : Orwell's Sexcrime, Goodsex) Annoying somebody in such a way that reminds them that sex exist. Sexual Harassment cases are often used as a tool to harm politicians or to make millions for individuals (and their lawyers) through lawsuits. Since everybody has flirted with somebody at some point in their life, this charge can be brought against just about anybody. This "crime" is often put on the same level as rape.

Significant Other : An unnamed human of unnamed gender who is un-insignificant.

Special Interests
Implied - A group of people that have interests that are only important to them, and who try to get "special" treatment.
Actual - A group of people that have interest that goes against the interests of the special interests groups that contribute to our party.

Terrorist Attack
Implied : When an evil group ruthlessly attacks peaceful citizens for no reason whatsoever.
Actual : When we upset a group so much, they fight back as best they can against our superior forces. America is a "good" country because we bomb the hell out of terrorist nations. (I'm sure if some other great Empire would have interfered with Washington DC's conquest of the South in the way we interfered with Iraq reclaiming its own southern region, we would bomb the hell out of them too.)

Unhealthy Lifestyle - Actions which will someday be illegal.

Vegetarianism - This is the practice of only killing and devouring living things that can't scream or fight back and feeling morally superior because of it.

War on Drugs - An excuse to turn our police force into an Army.

War on Terrorism - Eliminating anybody that dares to fight against our supremacy - and eroding 4th amendment protections at the same time.

War on anything - An excuse to squash civil rights in order to rid the world of the thing we are fighting against... and all's fair in love and war!

Western values - This term may used to describe any belief which is held by the majority of Americans, but which some people may find offensive. It is impossible to argue with something if you aren't exactly sure of what it is. If a politician was to actually refer to any specific 'Western Value' by name, it might open up a debate.

Weapons of Mass Destruction - Often abbreviated as "WMD" - How do they differ from Weapons of Limited Destruction? It seems to me that a vast quantity of Limited weapons can cause just as much damage as a handful of Mass weapons. Remember that the U.S. has killed far more Iraqi's with Limited weapons than Saddam has killed with Mass weapons. So, if the concern is with a countries ability to kill, then a mass quantity of limited weapons should be controlled just as virulently as a suspected quantity of "mass" weapons. And besides... many other countries have WMD's, so how do we decide which to invade? What is the criteria for deciding if a country should be allowed to posses defensive capabilities? If possession of "WMD"s is the criteria, should we then invade Britain? ... Russia? ... China? ... The U.S.? After all, the U.S. is the only country in history to use nuclear weapons in a war. If the criteria is that Iraq "threatens" its neighbors, then the U.S. is in trouble since the US has been involved in nearly-continuous warfare since the 1940's. During which time, they have invaded countless countries -- constantly putting their "world-neighbors" at risk... So obviously that is not the criteria. I suppose the real criteria is whether or not there is oil beneath their sand. Oil-rich countries do not have a right to self defense.
