Understanding Lefties
Some people (confusingly) use the word "liberal" as a synonym for "lefty" (leftwinger). But many self-declared liberals are not lefties at all; indeed, many liberals regard lefties as deluded clowns.
The other day I saw this brief account on the Web of what a "lefty" allegedly stands for. Do you think it is spot on? On the right track, but could be tightened up? Mostly unfair? (Please let me have your comments.) Here goes:
The West is despicable. America is trash. But let's be soft on African thugs and militant Muslims. Let's constantly portray the Third World in a positive light (but secretly get down on our knees every morning and thank our stars that we are living in a gated community in California and not some God-forsaken hovel in Somalia). Let's insult capitalism while often reaping the rewards of capitalism. Let's see the normal family as distorted and fascist (but bend over backwards to accommodate every conceivable form of weird sexuality). Let's be soft on violent yobbos (because it's not their fault, poor darlings), but if a teacher puts her arm around a child, arrest the bitch and charge her with assault.
Let's fawn over anybody's attempt to protect and value their "identity", but if a White man says he is proud to be White, then dismiss him as neo-Nazi scum. Let's gurgle with delight at the customs of the various ethnic communities (no matter how blatant or outlandish), but if somebody wants to put up a small Christmas tree in the corner of their office, they should be treated like dirt. Let's sneer at classical art but see dried urine on a toffee paper as an avant-garde cultural statement. Let's deconstruct and undermine all "absolutes", except (of course) the self-evident and eternally valid absolute that conservatives are evil.
