The New Devil's Dictionary

A somewhat cynical view of a number of words in the common language which are routinely used or or more often misused. Updated on occasional whim by Leslie Bates, someone who certainly not a righteous dude.

Actor/Actress: Someone who often confuses fact and fiction and is rarely able to see beyond his or her mirror.

Agnostic: Someone who may be a theist.

Alec Baldwin: Progressive, caring, and compassionate actor who hasn't quite grasped the distinction between civilization and barbarism. A truly righteous dude. See Righteous and the second definition of Stupid.

Cannibal: 1. Someone who eats human flesh. 2. One of Ayn Rand's pet names for caring, compassionate, and progressive people.

Censorship: Forcible prevention of the transmission of information. In the context of an adversarial situation, such as the invasion of a Free Nation by a Socialist State, the act of censorship is morally mandatory. Such an invader has no more right to information about the defending forces than a biker gang has to the location of your wife or daughters. In the context of a civil society, valid information concerning those holding or seeking public office and their goals and beliefs, is necessary in order for members of the electorate to make a valid decision when they exercise their authority. To vote correctly, the voter needs to know the truth about office seekers and their beliefs and personal conduct. Those who must suppress the transmission of valid information, such as corrupt office holders who are acting through their lieutenants, or through the local campus communist goon squad, are harmful to the individual citizens and the political community as a whole. Those who attempt to practice censorship in a civil society are enemies of that society and must be identified and dealt with as such.

This would cause the term "fascist" to be commonly used as a label for any person, group, or a political community who objects in any fashion or to any degree to the subjugation and plunder of themselves or of Mankind In General by progressive, or caring and compassionate people who claim to be acting on behalf of The Earth, The Animals, The Rain Forest, The Children, or The World Proletariat.

Monotheist, Western Tradition: Someone who believes that the incompetent, emotionally insecure, and not terribly well behaved tribal god of a bunch of nomadic desert dwelling goat herders is the Creator of the Universe and the absolute Lord of all of Mankind in General.

Mormon: Someone who hasn't quite caught on to the fact that Joseph Smith, a former resident of New York and Illinois whose immortal soul (assuming of course that human beings possess an immortal soul) is presently burning in Hell (assuming of course that there is a Hell and that it hasn't frozen over), was full of it.

Muslim: Someone who hasn't quite caught on to the fact that the so-called prophet Mohammed was really and truly full of it.

Pravdaism: When a media outlet deliberately lies on the behalf of a political faction instead of reporting the facts.

Progressive: Someone who won't admit to being a communist, usually for fear of being properly treated as one.

Prohibition: A period in American history when the United States federal government attempted to impart the virtue of sobriety to the population as a whole at the point of a gun. This effort was doomed to failure. A law prohibiting a specific act has never in fact prevented the proscribed act. The basic function of an act of legislation is to enable and command those who are charged with the task of enforcing the laws to arrest and prosecute the offenders.

Right: A concept that defines and provides moral sanction to freedom of action in a social context for all persons. A true right cannot constitute a claim upon the Life, Liberty, or Property of another person. Because of this there cannot be such a thing as a conflict of true rights, as often claimed by those who seek to violate rights. There is no such thing as a right to violate rights. The frustration of the desire to deprive another person of their Life, Liberty, or Property, is not a violation of a right.

Righteous: The pretense of being right when in fact one is absolutely and totally wrong. To strike a pose of being right as opposed to simply being right.

Security: See Liberty.

Pet name used by progressive, caring, and compassionate actors and actresses who at best qualify as college drop-outs to describe a former Texas Air National Guard fighter pilot (General Dynamics F-102, Nuclear Armed!) with a Masters degree in Business Administration from Harvard. 2. Pet name used by rational people to describe those persons who routinely use the first definition of this word or who otherwise believe their own propaganda.

Whim worshipper: Ayn Rand's term for those who seek to do what they want without regard to adverse consequences to themselves and to other persons.
