Our mission: create a new English verb barack to mean “to deceive” and a noun to mean “untruthful information" Main Entry: bar· ack Pronunciation: \be-'rak\ Function: verb Etymology: eponymous usage, a verbing of the given name of the 44th President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama; African derivation, "Blessed"; a form of the Hebrew name Baruch Date: 2008 1 : to deceive, 2: to conceal intended meaning in communication, 3: to abandon persons or issues for self-gain, 4: to pander, 5: to obfuscate —-common usage: "Don't barack me!  Tell the Truth for a change!" Function2: noun 1 : untruthful information 2: excrement —-common usage: "What a crock of barack!"
New words enter the English language every year. The process by which this occurs is through usage over time. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, their editors study texts from many sources and create citations. When there are enough citations from many sources, a decision is made as to the definition of the new word.  Reasons for non-inclusion in English language may be insufficient citations, citations from a single or limited source, lack of agreed-upon definition. The word barack has begun to appear in numerous places since early 2008.  In early usage, barack was a compliment or was used in a positive way.  Several examples of this appear at UrbanDictionary.com, the earliest of which was a Feb 2, 2008 posting by user cameron muthafin albin who defined barack as “obama, a man who you would be crazy not to elect. a man who is going to bring america out of this dark age know[sic] as the Bush administration. for a better america vote barack obama”.  This sentiment was echoed by several other users at UrbanDictionary through a June 3, 2008 posting by The Peoples Champ suggesting the definition be revised to 1. to have little applicable experience
2. to say things that people like to hear but mean nothing
3. to say things that everyone would like done but has no realistic way of accomplishing them This is currently the #1 definition for barack on Urban Dictionary, just ahead of another user’s suggestion that it is the sound someone makes when vomiting. The phrase “a crock of barack” has been used on talk radio for several months, as well.
The Left has traditionally co-opted language for their own purposes. Words such as “freedom”, “liberty” and “equality” have become code words for oppression from the time of the Soviet era.  George Orwell and Ray Bradbury wrote of future dystopias in which the State sought to control the very language used by its citizens and those who used words in an unapproved way were singled out for punishment.  This is not fiction: those on the Left are adept at this game of linguistic smoke and mirrors.
Shall we play a game? The purpose of The barack Project is to co-opt the first name of the current President of the USA as a verb with a common usage as described at the top of this page.  This is not disrespect.  It is an attempt to create an impression in the public mind that accurately describes what we believe to be the character of this man.  We are seeking to bring the Truth out of the closet, so to speak.
How can you help make this happen? Every day, use barack in a sentence using the definition above.  Us it in the following places:

• in the Comments sections of on-line newspapers
• in public remarks at political events, example “Quit baracking and tell us the Truth!”
• in public interviews.  Should you be interviewed at a political event, use barack in your first sentence to increase the odds of it being included in a sound bite, example “I am not here to barack around, I am here to speak the Truth to Power!”
• in Letters to the Editor in print media
• in calls to talk radio hosts, make sure to use barack as a derogatory verb as often as possible
• send the sample email below to everyone who shares your political opinion and encourage them to use barack in their daily lives according to this definition.
• post messages here at thebarackproject.com to tell us where you are using barack in this way and when we have enough sources, we will push for this word to be included in the Oxford Dictionary of the English Language

The Left turned concerned Americans into “Teabaggers”; let’s turn the Left’s idol into a deceiver. Using the same process by which the Left turned an homage to the Boston Tea Party by concerned Americans into the disgusting term “teabagging”, we can help to create a negative impression is the minds of Americans so that each time the President’s first name is used, it will elicit the response within the hearers that he is deceiving them.  All of working together can accomplish this by the 2012 Election!
SAMPLE EMAIL:
Dear _____,
Tired of the Left calling you a teabagger and astroturf and unpatriotic? The Left is pretty good at that sort of thing, but right now we have a golden opportunity to turn the name of their idol into a word of shame that will live on into future generations. Unlike Bush or Johnson or Jimmy or Bill, the word barack does not exist in the English language as other than the name of the 44th President of the US.  But we can change that!
All over the internet, in places like Urban Dictionary, and on talk radio, people are starting to define our President by his character and the definitions are not pretty.  thebarackproject.com has pulled together the most current negative definitions with the intention of having the word barack officially enter the English language in the Oxford, Merriam-Webster and pther prestigious dictionaries.  You can be part of this historic initiative!
Below is the proposed definition of barack.  Use this word in daily communications every chance you get, whether it is in conversation, in the comments section of your online newspaper, in blogs, in print letters to the editor, in calls to talk radio hosts.  The more places that barack is used in this way, the greater the likelihood that the word will become a permanent part of the English language.

Send this to ten friends and ask that they send it ten friends and so on.  The more people who use this new word, the better.  Together, we can build this into a lasting memorial to the worst President in American History. For more information, contact thebarackproject.wordpress.com
