"What makes a liberal a liberal? It’s a question I’ve been asking myself
lately, perhaps because
every liberal I meet nowadays seems to ask me how in the world I could be a
conservative. My stock
answer is that I’d love to be a liberal because, you know, chicks dig the
progressives. But also
because I’d love to resolve debates with clever rejoinders like “Halliburton!”
or “Fox News!” or
“Karl Rove!,” and because I’d love to engage in intellectual group hugs rather
than confront
awkward truths, and because I’d love to show how my heart is in the right place
by supporting
benevolent-sounding but historically discredited social policies which end up
devastating the very
communities they’re intended to benefit."
Hi Michael!
Interesting that it goes on to say that many get their start in a quest
for fairness. Well, by that standard, I am a liberal. I would be
satisfied with a 200 to 1 ratio, however.
The rich can have $200 for every $1 I get, but if any rich person wants
any more than that, I have to get $1 for every $200 more he/she gets.
Try selling that idea to any liberal! (including any on this list?)
Fairness has its limits, even with liberals.
Regards,
Pete
