In my patriotic efforts to combat the evils of verbal terrorism and linguistic laziness, I'd like to start a most-wanted list of conservative clichés. Here's a few to help us start:
- Cut and run
- Support our troops
- Tax and spend
- Stay the course
- In harm's way
Can you do your part for your country and help eradicate these evildoing phrases? Please post some additional egregious examples...

I forgot an essential in the conservative lexicon:
- Anything negative about France

all liberals are communists.
liberals hate America.
"lieberal"
"libertards"
liberals hate our troops.
liberals want troops to die so Bush looks bad.
liberals will destroy America.
liberals want to outlaw Christianity.
none of that is true, all annoying cliches that their leaders tell them to say; so they decide funnel it into here.
