It would be much easier to be a liberal
American Thinker: "I wish I were a liberal, because then everyone would like me. My family would start talking to me again, and chances are, my ex-husband would want to renew the marriage vows he broke when I started spouting conservative opinions.
- I'd like to be a liberal because it's ever so much easier to allow others to form my opinions for me instead of researching an issue myself.
That always gets me in trouble, especially when the facts I discover
I'd like to be a liberal because then I'd be rewarded for all my shortcomings and
- diverge from the latest politically correct consensus.
- nothing would ever be my fault.
I'd like to be a liberal because any guilt I would normally feel for what used to be considered deviant,
- irresponsible behavior may be assuaged by merely advocating the expenditure of other people's money on whatever the cause du jour is.
- Very cool....
I want to be a liberal because they care so much.

- They have a lock on all the fashionable emotions, like tolerance, diversity, equality and patriotism.
- I wouldn't have to accept responsibility for any negative consequences that my actions might cause.
I'd like to be a liberal because everyone knows that conservatives are racist, homophobic, stupid and, well, beneath contempt. Conservatives are motivated by -- gasp -- profit, instead of being nice. Enough said.
- It would be swell to be a liberal because I'd be able to redefine reality to my own specifications.
I could turn failure into success, murder into choice, lies into 'misstatements', and theft into investment.
It's great to be a liberal because everyone knows they hold the moral high ground. They don't lie, cheat or steal. Oh, and they don't condone torture.
- I would automatically be considered wise,
- instead of opinionated.
- The media says so, so it must be true.
Before I am able to join this community of man, however, there are a few ground rules:
- I have to acknowledge that government is the best and only solution for any problems America has.
- Despite the fact that pretty much every government solution to date has been a disaster.
- I must agree that America is bad and white Christian males are responsible for all that is wrong with the world.
- Further, I must agree that terrorists and third world dictators are either freedom fighters or misunderstood men of good would.
- Oh, and I must acknowledge that dialogue is better than war.
- I'd, of course, be expected to not only condone, but happily embrace gay marriage and the long list of newly minted sexual behaviors, and swear to never mention the adverse health risks or the proven harm they do to traditional families.
- I'd also have to quit judging people. (Except conservatives.)...
I'd have to immediately quit smoking, in public at least.
- I'd be required to agree that global warming is real and man is the cause.
- Even though the earth has cooled in the last decade, everyone knows its still getting warmer.
- that the Constitution is a 'living instrument'.
- I'd have to agree that victimhood trumps merit
- In return, I'll be accepted, popular, and invited to the best parties.
- I'll be eligible for the right to housing, health care, a living wage (even if I don't work) and happiness.
- I'll finally get my columns published in my own hometown paper and would have a good chance of getting face time on MSNBC.
- paying Algore for a few carbon credits.
- freedom, individualism and principles?"
