Legacy

An affordable 4-door sedan or wagon manufactured by Subaru of America (SOA) between 1991 and 2005. New for 2005 is the reintroduction of turbocharging to the already potent "boxer" engine. Often defined as a "sleeper" the new Legacy will embarrass cars costing twice as much while hauling your groceries.

Dude, my Legacy GT could woop your 350Z all day long.

iraqinam

A pointless, costly, unwinnable war in the desert in 2003 that largely resembles another pointless, costly, unwinnable war in the jungle in 1969.

I'm so glad that the "shock and awe" tactics worked, and that we actually found the WMD's. I was worried that it would turn into Iraqinam!

I like you for who you are

Said when somebody can't stand you but wants to say something nice. When they can't find something specific to compliment, they say they like you as a whole instead. weak.

If a woman says "I like you for who you are", donkey punch her sorry ass.

gay marriage

The single all important issue of the 2004 election. So important that when it was dangled in front of their noses, the country forgot all about the other issues.

Well, it's 2008 and the country's bankrupt, 90% of the manufacturing jobs have gone to mexico, there's a massive crisis in the healthcare industry, environmental regulations are set back 100 years, 5000 soldiers have died in the Iraqi civil war, and gas is up to 4.99/gallon.

But at least queers can't get married. I was worried about that. Thank god George W. Bush is a man of faith.

straw man arguement

A locical fallacy in which the arguementative point is made into a caracature of it's original point. Extremely effective because it's not based on facts, but lies and assumptions. The burden of proof then lies in the defense, not the offense. Especially effective when the defense isn't allowed to offer objection. Popularized by right wing talk radio hosts Rush and Hannity.

Step one: Build the straw man. Ignore facts and make outlandish lies/slander. Redefine the facts. "liberals want to take your guns away and turn the U.S. over to the U.N."

Step 2: Knock down the straw man. "That flies in the face of everything we Americans believe in."

Step 3: Connect step 2 to step 1. "Only a communist would think of something like that."

Step 4: "Negate" your opponant by opposing the conclusion in step 3. "I hate those liberal communists. If they think us right-wingers will sit quietly while they destroy the country the're dead wrong."

Rush and Hannity can't argue the facts, so they have to make up the "evil liberal agenda" and then appear patriotic by opposing it.
