Stumbled upon this online. Had to share it.

From http://townhall.com/columnists/john...slations-of-things-that-liberals-say-n2274756

1) “Peaceful Protest” – No liberals were hurt while throwing bricks through windows, demanding “Death to the pigs” or getting together in large gangs to waylay small, lone counter protesters from behind.

2) “Voter Suppression” - Cutting into Democrat vote totals by taking any steps to prevent voter fraud.

3) “The Constitution” – An outdated, irrelevant document that should be ignored unless you are claiming that some liberal agenda item is guaranteed by it despite the fact that no one noticed it for 200 years.

4) “Fascist” - People who want to cut spending, abide by the Constitution and get the government off your back.

5) “We want the government out of our bedrooms” – We want the government out of our bedrooms…right after they force the Pope to buy us birth control and promise to support our children if we decide not to use the IUD suggested by the Pope because, “Who does that guy think he is, right?”

6) “Greedy” - People who want to keep money they’ve earned instead of giving it to people who don’t work as hard, but do vote for Democrats.

7) “Sexism” – Disagreeing with Hillary Clinton, opposing the abortion of female babies or being against mentally ill men being allowed to use the bathroom with women.

8) “Radical position” – Relatively popular non-liberal positions that have been around as long as anyone can remember -- that liberals have recently decided to oppose almost entirely to make themselves appear more sensitive. Example: Refusing to change the name of the Redskins or believing you can’t change genders via surgery is a radical position.

9) “Angry, white male” – A white guy who votes Republican.

10) “Anti-intellectual” – Those who refuse to acknowledge that liberal college professors who couldn’t cut it outside of a university or MSNBC are right about everything.

11) “Racist” - Those who believe that people should be judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin and those who believe in enforcing the immigration laws that are already on the books.

12) “Climate change denier” - Someone who actually judges global warming based on the available scientific evidence instead of coming up with a socialistic agenda first and then passing out grant money to any scientists who are willing to attempt to justify it.

13) “Bipartisanship” – When Republicans cooperate with Democrats to push the liberal agenda. Not to be confused with “selling out” which happens when liberals cooperate with Republicans to push their agenda.

14) “Heartless” – Supporting programs based on whether they work and are good for the country instead of selecting programs to back based on how good they make you feel about yourself.

15) “Open Minded” – Mindlessly agreeing with Nancy Pelosi and Michael Moore 100% on every issue.

16) “A Courageous Speech” - When one liberal gives a self-congratulatory speech to another group of liberals that restates things they all believe.

17) “The American Flag” - A symbol of oppression waved by ignorant, bucktoothed hillbillies dumb enough to think that this is a great place to live.

18) “Guns” - The cause of all crime.

19) “Jesus” - Someone who is completely irrelevant to any and all political matters unless you’re claiming He would definitely support gay marriage or abortion.

20) “Hands up, don’t shoot” - The police shouldn’t be allowed to shoot people with their hands up or people pointing toy guns at them or people trying to kill them or pretty much anybody, for any reason.

Just going to take on a few...
2) “Voter Suppression” - Cutting into Democrat vote totals by taking any steps to prevent voter fraud.
Except that no serious study on voter fraud has produced any significant problem. Mostly the hard right has found a way to increase the likelihood that fewer poor people will vote, which is actually suppressing the vote.

3) “The Constitution” – An outdated, irrelevant document that should be ignored unless you are claiming that some liberal agenda item is guaranteed by it despite the fact that no one noticed it for 200 years.
The only time the hard right likes the Constitution is when they consider it without most of its amendments.

5) “We want the government out of our bedrooms” – We want the government out of our bedrooms…right after they force the Pope to buy us birth control and promise to support our children if we decide not to use the IUD suggested by the Pope because, “Who does that guy think he is, right?”
The only time you'll ever hear the hard right talking about the Pope without insulting him. So that's funny right there.

6) “Greedy” - People who want to keep money they’ve earned instead of giving it to people who don’t work as hard, but do vote for Democrats.
Rather, people so taken in by the lottery mentality that they support a system whereby they are all but guaranteed to remain outside the sliver of people who own almost all of the nation's wealth. But hey, my family and the social circle thanks you for your support.

9) “Angry, white male” – A white guy who votes Republican.
No, a white guy who votes Republican because he's white.

10) “Anti-intellectual” – Those who refuse to acknowledge that liberal college professors who couldn’t cut it outside of a university or MSNBC are right about everything.
No, anti-intellectual is best witnessed in goofy attempts to devalue education or demean by declaration what can't be established objectively. It's the parlance of proud, stupid people. It's being used by the author of this bit, who likely is a college graduate and knows better.

12) “Climate change denier” - Someone who actually judges global warming based on the available scientific evidence instead of coming up with a socialistic agenda first and then passing out grant money to any scientists who are willing to attempt to justify it.
See: #10

13) “Bipartisanship” – When Republicans cooperate with Democrats to push the liberal agenda. Not to be confused with “selling out” which happens when liberals cooperate with Republicans to push their agenda.
Well, at least the author combined Republican and cooperate. You're just not going to see that anywhere else.

15) “Open Minded” – Mindlessly agreeing with Nancy Pelosi and Michael Moore 100% on every issue.
Actually, there's a lot of diversity in the liberal camp. You could argue that diversity of opinion helped Trump take the election. It's even money whether the hard right, who even produced a term (RINO) to note those who won't toe a rather narrow line can spell diversity without shuddering like someone in the grip of the DTs.

17) “The American Flag” - A symbol of oppression waved by ignorant, bucktoothed hillbillies dumb enough to think that this is a great place to live.
The hard right salutes the flag, but in their hearts there are a lot fewer stars on it. :D

Thanks. That was fun.
