Vocabulary Words for the Bush Era

I've compiled a few words which are important to know as we move forward into the second half of the Bush Decade. Please know these. There will be a test. (We call that test an election.)

victory: a state of perpetual war.
"We're six months away from victory in Iraq."

Congress: a sanitarium for 535 mental patients.
"Congress believes in victory."

desuetude: a disused place or thing that we're being a little too polite to call squalor.
"Under the Bush Administration, the Constitution fell into a state of desuetude."

Al Qaida: (1) a group of losers who are close to defeat under the onslaught of American might. (2) an indomitable force for terror which forces us to give up our rights so we may fight them. (c.f. paradox)
"The Republicans are the only ones who can fight Al Qaida. That's why it has taken them five years to fail to kill one old guy with kidney failure."

rights: (term is becoming obsolete) impediments to victory.
"We must give up our rights so we can fight terrorism."

terrorism: anything bad.
"Killing yourself to escape the horror of Guantanamo is terrorism."

truth: a statement which doesn't contradict the official story coming out of the White House.
"Fox News is dedicated to the truth. And to victory."

I think you need to define "freedom" as well. Iraqi "freedom", "Freedom isn't free", "Republicans believe in freedom", etc.

At least, that's what it says in my "Sayings of Chairman George."
