bad behavior: (racial authenticity; black pathology). What blacks do naturally.

climate change skeptic: climate change denier

death grip: as in “the EPA’s veritable death grip” over all US businesses.” An exaggerated way of saying “regulation.”

desperation and bad faith: basically, the underlying motivation and moral bankruptcy of any Obama policy position.

divisive: any Dem policy or regulation that the GOTP disagrees with. The logic of this rhetorical ploy is that any division in the country comes form the Dems, and thus the only way to “heal” the country is for the GOTP to entirely get its way.

European-style regulation: any regulation, in the eyes of the GOTP. Synonymous with tyranny and guvment control over people’s lives (see “imposing values on individuals,” below). Never mind that in virtually every major quality-of-life ranking, European nations come out at or near the top.

imposing values on individuals: the ultimate violation of personal sovereignty. In this Ayn Rand moral universe, there are no social norms or laws that need be followed if they conflict with one’s personal values. Any social or moral standard is thus an unwarranted imposition.

intone: what Dems do when they make a speech or statement.

moral authority. = leadership, engagement; moral claim, moral self-confidence. Can only come from the individual, since everyone is apparently self-authoring. It’s hard, however,  to reconcile this concept of any “authority” whatsoever with concepts of individual autonomy.

power grab: any Dem law or policy.

reChristianize Europe: what the GOTP would do to counter the ISIS Caliphate. Look for a second Crusade if they get into power.

temporizing: any Obama foreign policy. Other things he does: prevaricates, dithers, avoids, placates, apologizes, ponders, equivocates.

terror denial: any Dem. policy that calls for anything less than a belligerent, aggressive military response to ISIS. Any attempt to point out that most all Muslims are peace-loving is now called “terror denial.” Soon enough, any tolerance for Islam whatsoever will be the equivalent of supporting Germany or Japan in WW II.

vandalism: Obama v. US Constitution.

victimhood: what the “politically correct” claim whenever possible, aka “the grievance industry.” This term masterfully turns the tables, transforming those being persecuted into prosecutors, thus doubly victimizing anyone who claims discrimination.

work force needs: what Scott Walker wants to be the main mission of the University of Wisconsin, replacing the idea of “the search for truth.” Part of the assault on academic freedom, this mandate naively assumes that the primary purpose of a college education is to get a job afterwards. Turns R-1 universities into voc-tec institutes.
