Trying...

So #1 fits us to a T:

"1) You justify your beliefs about yourself by your status as a liberal, not your deeds. The most sexist liberal can think of himself as a feminist while the greediest liberal can think of himself as generous. This is because liberals define themselves as being compassionate, open minded, kind, pro-science and intelligent not based on their actions or achievements, but based on their ideology. This is one of the most psychologically appealing aspects of liberalism because it allows you to be an awful person while still thinking of yourself as better than everyone else."

Honestly, I have no idea who this "most sexist liberal" might be. Note I do not say that however sexist he is, he gets a free pass because he's a liberal... Wait I just had a brain fart from the recent news. Remember that democratic mayor of San Diego who is an absolutely icky guy? The one who lost his career and got dropped by the party like an armed nuke? If what you say is true, shouldn't I be arguing that he's just a fine guy? Shouldn't the party protect him instead of shunning him?

I *beg* you to judge my by my actions and my words rather that your incredibly damning idea of what a liberal is.

This #1 seems, if you subtract the hyperbole, to be saying that liberals are hypocrites who think the term liberal gives them a free pass. I would point out that there are hypocrites all over the place - some indeed are liberals. But... well, shall we talk about anti-government conservatives and the governmental restrictions that they love? Oy!

This list is just more name-calling. Adults should know better. Who is this Ruffel guy?
