Remember when poking fun at the opposing party was a little less vitriolic and a bit more fun?
When the nomenclature was a little less vicious and a lot more ridiculously hilarious?
Golly gee, I kinda miss those days.
Wingnut (Wikipedia)
Defined a "wing nut" as "a loud darling of cable television and talk radio whose remarks are outrageous but often serious enough not to be dismissed
entirely."
Moonbat (Wikipedia)
Moonbat is a pejorative political epithet used in United States politics, referring to liberals, progressives, or leftists.
I hereby lay claim to a call for revolutionary action, to reclaim the hilarity of jovial discourse under the banner of competitive politics.
After all, it's a much better (in my opinion) methodology to spar with counterparts using language that conveys a sense of "I may not agree with you
but I still respect your right as an American to hold a different viewpoint."
Plus, the current terms are just ugly language and far too inflammatory.
We're all aware politics is a load of bullpucky anyway.
Everyone grab a beer or a cuppa tea and let's talk this over in a sensible fashion.
So who's with me?
WINGNUTS AND MOONBATS UNITE UNDER THE BANNER OF FREEDOM!
WE HAVE BETTER TINFOIL HATS!
