Inspired by ryhming slogans and giant puppets, liberals sometimes congregate into groups known as "protests." The purpose of these is unknown.

Someone who uses their left hand predominantly? Or scissors made for such an individual?

Equal time!!!1! They're making fun of conservatives in the "righty" thread. Someone make fun of lefties, quick. I can't think of anything this early in the morning, other than Ted Kennedy leaving that girl to die and still getting elected.

From here. BTW, Mr. Stone is the person who was featured at the Civil Rights in time of War symposium I attended last year. These are the last 2 of 10 items. The linked article has all 10 items.

Quote:

9. Liberals believe government must protect the safety and security of the people, for without such protection liberalism is impossible. This, of course, is less a tenet of liberalism than a reply to those who attack liberalism. The accusation that liberals are unwilling to protect the nation from internal and external dangers is false. Because liberals respect competing values, such as procedural fairness and individual dignity, they weigh more carefully particular exercises of government power (such as the use of secret evidence, hearsay and torture), but they are no less willing to use government authority in other forms (such as expanded police forces and international diplomacy) to protect the nation and its citizens.

10. Liberals believe government must protect the safety and security of the people, without unnecessarily sacrificing constitutional values. It is liberals who have demanded and continue to demand legal protections to avoid the conviction of innocent people in the criminal justice system, reasonable restraints on government surveillance of American citizens, and fair procedures to ensure that alleged enemy combatants are in fact enemy combatants. Liberals adhere to the view expressed by Brandeis some 80 years ago: "Those who won our independence ... did not exalt order at the cost of liberty."

I think we can all rest easy knowing that, if we do NOT know what a lefty IS, we can at least identify what a lefty wears: Bridget Jones: "well, I don't look very lefty in this!"

Bridget goes on to say that lefties are the heart of England, they stand for single mothers and AIDS victims, while Tories are only concerned with smidgens of percents regarding deficits.

What say the Brits?

DanaC · 11-05-2006, 05:36 PM

Well apparently now the tories are telling us teenagers are misunderstood and just need some love, whilst Labour is busy locking up record numbers of teen offenders......

A lefty is someone who wants you to be tolerant, and damn you if you won't! Burn in hell, you intolerant pieces of TRASH!

P.S. Yes, that was satire, and yes, I am new.

DanaC · 11-05-2006, 06:10 PM

The Republicans seem to understand teens needing love here as well.

The finest satire is that which contains a large economy sized grain of truth.

Welcome.

Hi, DanaC!

Thanks much, I think I'm gonna like it here.

I can admit it, you're right, Wolf.

I know my fair share of self-righteous lefties. Quite a share, in fact.
