You are at a cocktail party and you meet someone new. Of course the convo leads all over, but in the end politics will be discussed.
So is the person you are talking to a Liberal, or not? Now in these changing days of events and topics, it can be difficult to spot them right off. Like flotsam and jetsom, liberals have no true base of principles and tend to drift from week to week, so this has an expiration date on it, but right now...if in conversation you hear anyone utter any of these things with actual seriousness...you know they are Liberal.
1.) That a government-run "public option" health insurance would not extinguish or even harm private insurance.
2.) That cap-and-trade carbon regulations will raise energy costs without injuring the economy
3.) That taxing Peter to subsidize Paul's purchase of a new car is a sound basis for economic growth
4.) That an 85% unspent stimulus has routed the recession.
Any or all of these are a tip off that the person you are talking to has been sipping the kool aid. Do not try and change them!! This will only enrage and confuse them (yes they are easily confused).
Smile and make your way to the saner part of the party.
