    Assault and Battery = Attitude Adjustment
    Heavily Armed = Well-protected
    Narrow-minded = Righteous
    Taxes or Your Fair Share = Coerced Theft
    Common sense Gun Control = Gun Confiscation Plot
    Illegal Hazardous Explosives = Fireworks or Stump Removal
    Nonviable Tissue Mass = Unborn Baby
    Equal Access to Opportunity = Socialism
    Multicultural Community = High Crime Area
    Fairness or Social Progress = Marxism
    Upper Class or "The Rich" = Self-Employed
    Progressive, Change = Big Government Scheme
    Homeless or Disadvantaged = Bums or Welfare Leeches
    Sniper Rifle = Scoped Deer Rifle
    Investment For the Future = Higher Taxes
    Healthcare Reform = Socialized Medicine
    Extremist, Judgmental, or Hater Conservative Truants = Homeschoolers
    Victim or Oppressed = Criminal or Lazy Good-For-Nothing
    High Capacity Magazine = Standard Capacity Magazine
    Religious Zealot = Church-going, God fearing
    Reintroduced Wolves = Sheep and Elk Killers
    Fair Trade Coffee = Overpriced Yuppie Coffee
    Exploiters or "The Rich" = Employers or Land Owners
    The Gun Lobby = NRA Members
    Assault Weapon = Semi-Auto (Grandpa's M1 Carbine)
    Fiscal Stimulus = New Taxes and Higher Taxes
    Same Sex Marriage = Legalized Perversion
