The Democrats are peeved that the president left off the “ic” in Democratic when describing the newly major party in his SOTU. It’s reprehensible. The president may as well as said he wished all Democrats were killed by way of making them eat their own words. Of course many of the phrases they’d end up eating would annihilate each other and be converted to pure energy when they met their anti-phrase in the stomach. Killing them instantly and simultaneously curing our oil addiction. In fact it may have been a hidden code phrase for just that.
But the swaggering, smirking, nerve of the president! Equating THEM, members of the Democratic party, with DEMOCRATS, members of, of all things, the DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Of all people in the work to be compared to! It JUST makes NO sense! What sort of fantasy world does the President live in? The nerve! The gall! The syllable! Truly this monumental gaff can never be forgiven nor should it be forgotten. When dealing with the easily offended, fragile egos of the likes of the Democratic party, it is important to understand that they are used to hearing the ‘ic’.
They NEED to hear the ic. Its the only part of our form of government they have seen fit to keep. Think of it as the only remaining vestige of their etymological (look it up) heritage. Take that away and they are then forced to see themselves as they truly are, filthy, diseased vermin that live in idealogical sewers.
But what I fear they fail to understand is whenever a Republican says something that sounds like they are saying “Democratic”, its more than likely not DemocratIC, they are saying. Instead, he or she is really saying “Democrat, Ick.”
Used in a sentence, “I just stepped in a pile of democrat, ick.” So, when we leave off the ‘ic’ we are simply trying to be polite, before we clean off our shoes.
The next time you see a Democrat instead of referring to their party as the Democrat party and offend them, we should say “ICK!” and leave it at that.
I’ve heard (and used) this phrase enough, but I’m curious as to why it originated. I use it because it’s clear that the Democrats no longer believe in democracy, therefore they don’t deserve the title “democratic”.
Also, semantically, if the Republicans are the Republican party, why shouldn’t the Democrats be the Democrat party? We aren’t the “republic party” after all. It seems that both categorically and grammatically, the correct way to say it.
Ignore that last comma – the coffee hasn’t kicked in yet.
…idiot, ick, sophomore, ick, unrealist, ick, un-patriot, ick…
Actually they should be referred to as the DemoCRAP party, or as the communists.
I keep pushing DEMONcrat, but it’s not catching on.
Just think of what they stand for:
abortion
terrorism
control over everyones lives
animals over people
homosexual unions and adoption
pornography available to children
Not to mention the filth that spews from their mouths and fingers should you dare to not march in lock step with the little “Nazi’s”.
Maybe these folks are too foul even for the devil to claim. Scary thought, but most likely true.
Ah yes, the Democrats… Protesting democracy and democratic elections since 1861.
When it comes to Democrats, I like the Email currently making the rounds,
“Okay, here’s the plan:
1) Back off and allow those men who want to marry men, marry men.
2) Allow those women who want to marry women, marry women.
3) Allow those folks who want to abort their babies, abort their babies.
In three generations, there will be no democrats!!!
Man, I love it when a plan comes together!”
Strnj1,
The only problem is that these same people are the overwealming majority of the mass media, educators, and worst of all, run MTV. As Hitler proved, brainwashing the youth works. Carve the Demonrats out of these positions, and the process of common sense and natural selection will take care of the rest.
So Wolfman are you suggesting that someone cull the herd or that more of us go into those areas of employment?
Maybe if they started supporting Democracy, then maybe they’d get their little “ic” back. They just can be trusted with it now. Truth in advertising and all. And since the socialist party is already established, a name change would be a hassle.
Until then, they’re just Ick.
