Foil Hats for Moonbats

First reading of Scylla's motion that "Foil Hats" enter the lexicon as a synonym of the beloved "Moonbats"....

Foil-Hat (alt: Foil Hatter) (n)(v) (foil-haat)

1. A participant who associates himself with certain political or social brands or movements by donning a cone-shaped jester's cap constructed from a common domestic kitchen staple known as "aluminum foil" (p/k/a "tin foil").

2. A subgroup of radical or extreme leftist adhering to a political philosophy stressing a reliance on emotion and rejection of logic. ~"The foil hats objected to the balanced budget bill."

3. A political activist of any philosophy who accepts without factual support the assumption that any person who disagrees with any of the activist's political positions is necessarily part of a pervasive, nefarious yet hidden conspiracy hell-bent on destroying society. ~The brochure handed out by the foil hat stated that, "The faked moon landings were part of Haliburton's conspiracy to build up the military-industrial complex at taxpayer expense, so as to thwart the growing people's democracy movement."

4. A political consumer typically (but not always) of a lower socio-economic class, who forms a strong brand loyalty to a constantly-changing smorgasbord of political images and movements, seemingly assembled around a core belief that the current societal paradigm is designed primarily as a form of spectator sport called "3rd world infanticide." ~"The parade featured foil hats with placards denouncing the "baby formula conspiracy.' "

5. (verb) The act of protesting a perceived nefarious political, economic or social structure by assembling in a group and acting out court-jester-like skits and comic absurdities, regardless of any nexus to the subject structure: ~"We're going to foil-hat the Veteran's Day Parade next week."
