52. I am a tax-and-spender
I fervently believe that if the United States government is going to spend money and use tax revenues to pay for it, which is EXACTLY what happens in every country that has a government, we will get more for our taxes if we don't rent the money we spent like the Republicans prefer.

54. There are so many more slurs for us aren't there?
Put me in the 'other' or secular humanist wing I guess. I could overlap on a few, and you missed a bunch, but I think the larger point you are making is that there is a vast dictionary of slurs and segmenting within them. This is the rights main tactic. DEVIDE and conquer. Always scapegoating and targeting segments against each other. Never on the right, but always on the 'left'. That the administration would use the same tactics and slurs by the right, against their OWN supporters is very maddening. This view expressed in those slurs also has to be the overwhelming and pervading opinion of the entire administration too. No doubt about it now.

I checked, and my membership card says that I am in the

(Neo-1(b)-Bolshevik)-(Seated-at-the-Left-Hand-of-Kucinich)-(Single-Payer-Healthcare)-(Prosecute-the-Fuck-Out-of-Bush-et-al)-(Academic-Elite)-(Anti-Gun)-(Pro-Choice)-(Pro-Public-Education)-(Pony-Wanting)-(K-Dimensional-Chess-Shunning) Branch of the Democratic Party.

I wrote them and complained that preemptive compromise is not a beneficial negotiating strategy, so they sent me an Obama X-mas card a month after X-mas.

How mollifying! How artificial!
