Wow. This is so funny. It's so nice to know serious questions aren't debated on the Flameboard. Instead, we get to hear the ravings of Conservatives about alleged "code-words." YAY!

Uh, Jeff, those who live in glass houses...
Which is to say, the Flameboard is, and has been for some time now, totally polarized. But this thread, as far as I can tell, is no better or worse than any of the others currently open.

What I find amusing is that some of those same "code-words" can be used in regards to conservatives. In fact, they have been used by conservatives. So, what's funny is that the author attempts to make it seem as though the Republicans don't make the same use of those same code-words.

I think, at best, Sieg, that you could only back that statement up (the 'same words used in the same way by Conservatives' bit) with the first two definitions, and not any of the others.
With the possible additional exception of "Bible-Thumper," since that's how I refer to those folks.

However, it's a pretty stupid and uninformed list if you ask me.

Well, First of Two, you can think that, but I beg to differ. A lot of those words are interchangeable in regards to political affiliation. In fact, the words on that list that don't lend themselves to dual-political ideology uses can be flip-flopped to show that the Republicans use the same technique. So, in short, this list does nothing but waste bandwidth with hypocritical rhetoric.
I gives me a warm fuzzy feeling on the inside. Or maybe it's the amaretto sour.

_I_ am not impressed at this. Not at all. Too much exaggeration and too little truth in this article.
Of course, this is _supposed_ to be a joke, but this is hitting right in the gonads.

That list is like being hit in the gonads? So what's being hit in the gonads like? Decapitation?

Erm... More like getting kicked in the balls. Actually, just like getting kicked in the balls. More correctly, it is getting kicked in the balls. Or ovaries.

Tim, you've become very picky recently. Are you trying to write the Nitpicker's Guide to Flare posts or something?

I agree with the author of this piece that there are code words. I believe that code words are used in the various factions of the democratic, republican, and independent parties. These code words convey a meaing to their operatives and supporters. The average citizen may not be aware of all the words and their corresponding meanings.
I disagree with the author on some or all of his translations. A few of the translations reveal his bias, social and/or economically. He asserts that the conservatives are the honest party. For such a god-fearing honest man, President Nixon sure did a funny thing when he resigned all those years ago.
