Dictionary of liberal words and phrases
Neal Boortz Keep this handy when listening to any liberal who is speaking to the press. Using this dictionary, see if you can find a referenced word in the screenshot below. We will not grade you; this is simply pass/fail.
The Obama Mosque
Neal Boortz "Wow. Is this guy sharp or what? Am I the only one getting a bit weary of Obama bringing his community organizer mentality to the podium of the White House? The issue has never been whether or not Muslims have the right to build a Mosque - community center - or whatever they chose to call it. The issue has been WHERE they want to build it. Obama made this statement in the presence of some of this country's most influential Muslims. This was an opportunity for him to address the sensitivity Americans have to the building of this Mosque on the site of a building damaged by the 9/11 attacks ... a site just two blocks from Ground Zero. Obama could have simply said something like this:"...
Hamas Founder Backs Ground Zero Mosque "Well, this is yet another thing that Mr. Obama and Hamas agree on.
"Indeed, just like Hamas, Mr. Obama believes Muslims should be allowed to build a mosque at Ground Zero, but that Israelis cannot be permitted to build houses on their own land."

Celebrating American Immigrants
Townhall "If people want to help illegal immigrants become American citizens, support their return to their country of origin. Help them secure employment and support their legal efforts to become an American immigrant. Let them earn that right the old fashioned way, by getting in line, making their case and respecting the laws of the country they wish to join. A blanket amnesty is an insult to those immigrants who have waited and faithfully played by the rules."
Death, Taxes and the Failure of Obamanomics
Heritage "Laura Tyson, a member of the President’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board, called for even more of the same tried-and-failed Obamanomics stimulus policies, when asked how to get the economy moving faster:
When people from the government say they must "invest" more, hang on to your wallet.
We have to continue to do everything we can to stimulate demand in the economy… Invest in people. Invest in infrastructure. Invest in knowledge,” she said. “Invest, invest, invest is really what we must do.“Invest, invest, invest” is Obamaspeak for “spend, spend, spend,” which the White House and the Pelosi-Reid Congress have done plenty of already, to no great effect.
When people from the government say they must "invest" more, hang on to your wallet.

Liz Cheney’s 3 Minute Destruction of Obama’s Foreign Policy
Liberty Pundits "Cheney is far and away the most effective, persuasive Republican on the issue of national security. And, as noted by Ben Smith, she is sounding more and more like a candidate. Just let me know where to send the check."
American Socialists Release Names of 70 Congressional Democrats in Their Ranks
Q: How many members of the U.S. Congress are also members of the DSA?
A: Seventy
Q: How many of the DSA members sit on the Judiciary Committee?
A: Eleven: John Conyers [Chairman of the Judiciary Committee], Tammy Baldwin, Jerrold Nadler, Luis Gutierrez, Melvin Watt, Maxine Waters, Hank Johnson, Steve Cohen, Barbara Lee, Robert Wexler, Linda Sanchez [there are 23 Democrats on the Judiciary Committee of which eleven, almost half, are now members of the DSA]. The country's in the very best of hands.
Obama visits the Gulf coast
J.A. Jackson , AT "Maybe I should feel honored that the President of the United States spent the night less than 20 miles from my home, but I do not. Maybe I should feel some connection to him now that his feet touched the beautiful white beaches that I have walked since my childhood, but I cannot. Last night he ate of the bounty of my land and I should be grateful to share, but I simply did not.
"I cried when I saw Marine One take off from Tyndall Air Force Base yesterday morning, not because I was proud, but because I was not proud. As an American, that is a difficult thing to believe...that I could ever not be proud of my president. And it hurts."

The Ultimate Culture War: the Left vs. the War on Terror
Jennifer Rubin "If nearly every reasoned step to defend ourselves against Islamic extremists flies in the face of liberal dogma, we are presented with a choice: take reasoned and legally defensible steps to defend ourselves (by cutting off the means by which radicals spread jihadism) or capitulate to the left’s dogma and let the consequences — and the American people — be damned. Obama has made his choice, and Americans should make theirs." This must be how the Israelis feel when they have to go after enemy rocket launch sites.
The Toxicity of Tolerance
Commentary Magazine " “It goes without saying that tolerance is a value to which we should all be deeply committed.” Does it? Tolerance is not, in fact, a value at all. If Sue tolerates a kindly bore during a brief conversation is she employing the same moral standard as Tom who tolerates a stoppable violent crime in his presence? Moreover, does this standard qualify as one to which we should all be deeply committed?" Abe Greenwald
911 words about Obama's Mosque (Updated)
Kevin McCullough "In fact since you've been in office you've repeatedly apologized to the Islamic world for America's action of liberation to fifty million muslims, you wholly redirected our space program to the unique purpose of making them feel good about how smart Muslims used to be, and on issue after issue you've sided with the views of the terrorists, even appointing several of the former defenders of the Gitmo detainees to your Department of Justice.
"But this last week, even though no one was asking you to, you stepped into the most painful issue related to the hallowed grounds of 9.11 to date.
"You chose sides, even when nobody cared if you did.
"But now it's in your file. We will discuss during your performance review in November and over the next two years."
Obama On The Mosque - The Backpedaling Begins "And on cue, here is President Obama on Saturday, backpedaling from the media so quickly he might be the answer to the Jets Darrelle Revis problem:"
Obama backs away from Ground Zero Mosque "What happened between Friday evening and Saturday afternoon to get Obama to modify his position? An easy guess: His political advisers must have told him that, given strong public feelings and opposition, he was making it even more difficult for Democrats in the November mid-term elections. Every 'Democratic candidate obviously would be asked whether he or she agreed with his endorsement of a Ground-Zero mosque.
"So, Obama backtracked. And rather clumsily." How Carteresque.
Washington Post glosses over Imam Rauf's blaming US for 9/11 "A news article, particularly one about a national controversy about the advisability of mosque near Ground Zero, shouldn't take sides, but present both sides of this hot-button issue.
"By failing this basic journalistic test, the Post validates reader complaints that too much editorializing in pursuit of an ideological agenda permeates the paper's news pages. And that in turns tends to shred the Post's credibility -- a fragile and precious commodity."
