I missed the first part of this column over at The Nation, but I'm glad I happened upon the second part today. The object is to define the Orwellian terms used by the Republicans so the rest of us know what they're really saying. A couple of my favorites include:
ACTIVIST JUDGE, n. A judge who attempts to protect the rights of minorities--most especially homosexuals--against the tyranny of the majority.
FAMILY VALUES, n. Oppression of women.
FOX NEWS, n. White House Press Office.
PRIVATIZE, v. To steal the resources of the national community and give them to private business.
The thing is, it's really the truth.
