Racism

A belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races  determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race  is superior and has the right to rule others.

Note:  A racist is also any conservative who is winning an argument with a liberal.

  Fascism

A governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.

Note:  Standard ammo in the liberal’s name calling arsenal. Other names include bigot, idiot, and fear-monger.

  Democracy

Government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system.
Note: Sounds good, however, it was viewed with disdain by the founding fathers. They considered it to be mob rule. They were right!

Note2:  The United States is a Republic, not a Democracy.

  Progressive

Favoring or promoting political or social reform through government action, or even revolution, to improve the lot of the majority: a progressive policy. (see Liberal)

Note:  Liberals, who are embarrassed to be called liberals, now prefer to be called progressives.

  Conservative

Core right-wing beliefs include reduced government regulation of business and banking, resistance to world government and to environmentalism, support for Israel and for American military, opposition to federally funded abortion, support for school voucher programs, support for the right to bear arms, securing the U.S. borders and strict enforcement of the law, reducing out of control government spending, and reducing taxes.
Less government is better government!

Note:  Conservatives understand that when the government (wealth consuming) sector grows, the private (wealth creating) sector shrinks. Also,  government grows at the cost of reduced personal freedoms.

  Bigot

A person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion.

Note:  Not to be confused with the typically and utterly intolerant liberal.

  Socialism

A theory or system of social organization  that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
In Marxist Theory: The stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.

Note:  Socialism works OK until it runs out of everyone else’s money! Socialism is a parasitic system. It devours wealth, but does not create it.

 Republic

A state in which the supreme power rests in the body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by representatives chosen directly or indirectly by them.
The will of the people is mediated by representatives, who might be wiser and better educated than the average person. It is intended to cushion the government from the direct expression of the popular will.

Note:  The United States is a Republic, not a Democracy.

  Liberal

Someone who falls to the left in a political system, who believes in government programs (healthcare and welfare, for example) and a larger scope of government, also favors monitoring of business and protection of constitutional rights. Someone who believes that the federal government should have more importance than state government.
"A liberal is a socialist with a wife and two children."
More government involvement is the solution to every problem!
(...and, also, the root cause of most of our current problems!)

Note:  Liberals never admit when their programs fail, they just think they haven’t done enough of them.

  Moderate/ Independent

Having no political affiliation; not a member of an organized political party. Someone with a political belief that sits between the two extremes of liberal and conservative, usually combining aspects of both.

Note:  Being a moderate is usually just an excuse for being inadequately informed on the issues. ”I’m a Moderate / Independent! I’m above all this fighting and bickering.” Yeh, right.
