The Nation has compiled a dictionary of Republicanisms. Some of the entries are hilarious, enjoy !
I found the following specially imaginative:
democracy n. A product so extensively exported that the domestic supply is depleted [Michael Schwartz, unknown].
faith n. The stubborn belief that God approves of Republican moral values despite the preponderance of textual evidence to the contrary [Matthew Polly, Topeka, Kans.].
free markets n. Halliburton no-bid contracts at taxpayer expense [Sean O'Brian, Chicago, Ill.].
God n. Senior presidential adviser [Martin Richard, Belgrade, Mont.].
House of Representatives n. Exclusive club; entry fee $1 million to $5 million (See Senate) [Adam Hochschild, San Francisco, Calif.].
