Thought that the good people here might get a kick out of The List of Liberal Code Phrases. Enjoy.

social justice ---> socialism

Ain't that the truth. I see "social justice" bandied about on campus all the time (including the student association *shudder*) by all the socialist groups.

Then again, the student association is a socialist group in of itself, especially with its huge campaign right now to "reduce tuition fees" (they're already decently low, thank you), talking about promoting "economic class diversity" in schools since apparently there are too many rich people (hello, that kind of diversity exists, most people I know in my school come from working-class backgrounds including myself, I only know one person in my school who could be classified as "rich"), all so people don't have to have much debt (hello, education is an investment, children, it was your choice to take it on).

And when I object to their schemes like this, they say I'm some sort of rich kid whose parents are paying everything and whatnot. Sorry, but no - no way my parents can afford it, I'm on full student loans, with more debt than most of the people complaining about the debt load, and I'm fine with that. I'm making an investment in my future.

Really, "reduce tuition fees!" is liberal code for "I don't think my education is worth it".

big business: an operation that makes money but doesn't donate to liberals

Actually, I think that's "but hasn't donated to the particular liberal in question recently"

ROFL!!! I especially loved:

conservative bias
1. logic
2. reason
3. objectivity
"The Harvard faculty is careful to avoid conservative bias at all times."
