It is time that the Right Wing was forced to take their medicinal dose of reality.

I think this is something worth sharing with every crazy Fox News watching uncle, Right Wing radio listening co-worker, and conspiracy minded cousin.

Personally I think it is our duty as reality based information devotees to spread the truth as far as wide as possible. In fact the future of our country may depend on it.

By the way somebody on Reddit posted this rather helpful guide to help translate Right Wing rhetoric into English:

Freedom = Tax Cuts for the rich; viewing the planet as a profit opportunity; having the unrestricted right to own guns; not having to contemplate other people's offensive lifestyles 

Oppression = no Tax Cuts for the rich; failure of government to enforce the Laws of Jesus 

Laws of Jesus = ask Glenn Beck 

Rights = Tax Cuts for the rich; federal benefits for Real Americans 

Socialism = no Tax Cuts for the rich; other people's federal benefits 

Communism = having to buy health insurance from for-profit businesses 

Tyranny = no Tax Cuts for the rich with a black President 

Freedom of Speech = The right to make offensive comments without consequences 

Life = a short period of exalted human value beginning at conception, ending at birth, and returning when someone wants to die 

Liberty = Tax Cuts for the rich; enforced conformity to 1950s social norms 
Pursuit of Happiness = crusading for Tax Cuts for the rich; accumulating stuff; firing guns; feeling superior to someone 

Big Spending = money spent on things they don't profit from 

Legitimate Government = money spent on things they profit from 

Deficit = really big number used to scare voters; irrelevant when Republican is President; existential threat when Democrat is President 

Tax Cuts = magic engine of prosperity and growth; signal to job producers to make more jobs; certainly not about the rich getting richer; reduction in federal revenue irrelevant to National Debt 

National Debt = bad; a black hole destined to destroy everything good in the world that mysteriously loses its power and significance when Republicans are in control of the budget; result of Democrat Big Spending. 

Private Debt = good; a mechanism by which the rich get richer and the poor get poorer 

Class Warfare = a discussion of wealth that might be heard by members of the middle class; mentioning growing wealth gap 

National Defense = see Legitimate Government. 

National Security = secret activities that would otherwise be illegal 

Homeland Security = secret Legitimate Government 

Nation Building = Democrat foreign wars 

Defense of Freedom = Republican foreign wars 

Government Waste = see Big 

SpendingJobs = something voters want that becomes significant around elections 

Job Creators = future aristocrats 

Small Business = Koch Industries 

Growth = increasing corporate profits and capital gains 

Privatization = turning public functions into profit opportunities 

Voter Fraud = Democrat victory 

Fair Election = long lines only in cities; working class people losing a day’s pay in order to vote 

Racism = historical social problem that ended in 1968 

Reverse Racism = belief that Racism still exists 

Justice = to be defined 

Judicial Activism = court decisions they don't like 

Judicial Restraint = court decisions they like 

Constitution = piece of paper sometimes useful for Judicial Restraint; source of 2nd Amendment and a bunch of words 

States’ Rights = justification for returning programs, regulations and the enforcement of civil rights to states 

Return to States = eliminate 

Illegal Alien = brown people who have recently come to America 

Immigrant = white people whose grandparents came to America 

Real American = white people who don't know how they got here; Republican 

Those People = descendants of slaves who don’t vote Republican 

Morality = Laws of Jesus as applied to other people 

Abstinence = the practice of every sexual act except one in order to remain a virgin (women); a cover story for closet cases (men) 

Jesus = someone really powerful who loves them no matter what they do and who will someday punish people they don't like 

Lip Service = all Jesus asks of us; see also Abstinence

You know the truly frightening part of this list is that most of it is NOT tongue in cheek but rather a completely accurate description.
