Regime Speak: O-through-R

Regime-speak

List from The Woodpile Report

You're about to be lied to when they say-

off our streets...It used to be called, "Go to school or else be unemployed and never have a girl friend."
on some level...The old, "parallel universe" strategy
our nation's children...How come I cannot send a bill to the government when my kid breaks a window?
outreach...Shilling to disempower people and cultivate their victimhood.  All for a bowl of pottage.
people of color (sometimes, colour)...oppressed minorities...poor and minorities...raising awareness...reaching out...See Outreach
poised to...Corruption of "supposed to", as in, "I am supposed to respect the Constitution" or "I am supposed to help widows and orphans."
positive outcome...Oh dear.  I wish they actually managed by outcomes.
potentially...Potentially, we are all Motzart, Luther Burbank and Mother Teresa.  In fact, we all fall woefully short.
progressive...Code for the inexorable collapse of Capitalism and the inevitable actualization of Marx's paradise.  See North Korea.
