Rhode Island’s Johnny Pez has a public service announcement on how to determine whether the conservative you are debating is sane or insane. And, yes, Johnny Pez has found one sane conservative.
A rough and ready guide is to note that insane conservatives are addicted to a series of words and phrases describing a parallel reality, while sane conservatives are not. Here is a sample list of these words and phrases. Remember, if you find any of these terms being used by a conservative, it’s a sure sign of insanity:
ACORN
Fairness Doctrine
marsh mice
maglev train
birth certificate
porkulus
drill, baby, drill
Vince Foster
Islamofascism
liberal fascism
homosexual agenda
socialism
What other words or terms would you add? I can think of a few: volcano monitoring, Ted Kennedy and discrimination against white men.
