Reply #85: There's something about self-righteous liberals [View All]

That make you wonder why you bother.

I once was approached by some ernest young activists in Park Slope Brooklyn asking me to sign a petition protesting the cops for breaking up groups of kids who were congregating on the street with loud boom boxes blaring at all hours of the night. As a working person who happened to live in a first floor apartment without airconditioning, I had some strong feelings about people with loud boom boxes and needless to say they differed from those of the activists.

Well to make a long story short, despite my "US Out of El Salvador" and Reagan is not my President" (this was the '80s) buttons I was called a fascist and a racist.

This was just one incident and most of the progressive's I've met have been wonderful people but there's truth in every stereotype and the angry, intransigent, humorless and totally clueless liberal does exist and the rest of us need to work hard to keep them down in their little caves plotting their revolutions so the rest of us can get on with trying to get a little sanity into the world.
