Actually, I thought it was quite funny and on-point. I think I was expecting to get angry when you asserted we were the stupidest, but most of what you said was right-on and hilarious.

@Emmanuel: In my personal experience, most “moderates” I’ve met are either liberals, conservatives, or libertarians who just don’t want to admit it. They seem to think that “not choosing a side” makes them superior even though their opinions indicate they have clearly chosen one but just like to think they haven’t because they don’t use the label. Either that, or they simply don’t care about politics, or they’re big fans of the false compromise fallacy.

@despicable: as a red-blooded Marxist myself, I have to admit that our tribe has some of the Liberal traits (sense of humor, f’rex).

@John Scalzi: I read this aloud to my girlfriend. We laughed a lot. Thank you for reposting this! :)

Hypocrisy is a “head-shot” to a Liberal’s political career, but it seems to have no effect on Conservatives. Conservatives are able to have it both ways I suppose because of the moral relativism you describe, whereas Liberals will stone each other to death (or, if no one throws stones, they will slit their own wrists) as soon as the right kind of hypocrisy is exposed, no matter how insignificant.

The Republican Party wants to turn the government into your Dad.

The Libertarian Party wants to turn the government into your crazy Uncle Lou. :D
