Do You Speak Winglish?


?>

The wingnuts now running this country, and their journalistic supporters, speak a language all their own: not exactly Orwell's Newspeak, but a closely related tongue. In Winglish, "voter fraud" means "minority turnout," "Republican" means "monarchist," and a "patriot" is someone who salutes the flag and despises the Constitution. You'll be able to make sense of their nonsense with the aid of the Winglish-English Dictionary.
