15 Things Politicians Must Stop Saying In 2014

We should all be wary of almost everything career politicians tell us. But when certain words come out of our elected officials’ mouths, I really want to dry heave. Here are 15 overused bureaucratic terms and their politically-mutated definitions.

Compassion
A term used by free-spending liberals who want to give your hard-earned money to their constituents.

Radical
A volatile, mud-slinging term that means absolutely nothing and is used to whip up the emotions of the ignorant electorate.

Mean Spirited
A generic term used by the left to define anybody to the right of them.

UnAmerican
A generic term used by the right to define anybody to the left of them.

Carbon Footprint
Self-righteous lefties repeat this to sound important instead of simply saying “pollution.”

Fairness
The belief that nobody should have more than anybody else, regardless of work ethic or skill sets.

For the Children
When you hear this term, hold on to your wallets — we all know what this means.

Any word proceeded by “The Word Holiday
Those are not Holiday presents in my Holiday stockings and under my Holiday tree, you moron.

The 1 Percenters
Those evil, capitalistic pigs who work 70+ hours per week to make more than the person using the term.

Pro-family
A sanctimonious Republican term meant to stir up low-information voters — who’s anti-family?

Gun Nuts
What angry liberals call Republicans who support the Second Amendment.

Greedy
The adjective bestowed upon those who work hard to earn money, but refuse to give it to those who don’t.

Investment
When politicians say “We need to make an investment,” they really mean, “I want to spend YOUR money on MY agenda.”

Libtards
An ignorant term used to describe any Democrat by emotionally unstable Republicans.

Racist
An accusation used by liberals when they’re losing a debate on any topic.

There's something in the list for both ends of the political spectrum, so it must be right! :lol:

I wouldn't mind seeing "infrastructure" go away: a two-bit longhand word for roads and bridges.

Eliminate the words:

"Vigilante" - replace with, "Concerned citizen"

"The poor" - no one in America is truly, "poor", unless they have mental issues (that is another story)

"Racist" - unless it applies to people of all colors

"Defense" - anywhere within the bounds of the Big Sky Conference (you're really not fooling anyone, anyway)

Why did a majority of white women go for Romney? Don't tell me, they're all a bunch of stupid Sarah Palin Stepford wives who don't know what's good for them and should listen to liberal abortion zealots to tell them what is for their own good. :lol:
