I have been looking for a method of rating liberals to distinguish the hard Left at one extreme, from the plumber down the street who votes Democratic because his Dad did, at the other extreme.

Here is one system from some talk show host that is similar to something I have been cooking up, although I would have used the term "High Liberal" instead of "Slimy Liberal" for the hard-Left category.

This usage is similar to "High Priest," and has the added humorous dig of pointing out the large number of liberals who funnel mind-destroying substances into their noses and other orifices.

Any other suggestions? This system has only two real ratings. Do we need more?

Maybe Buck or someone can come up with a ratings system for conservatives, like Australopithicene, Neanderthal, Cro-Magnon, and Sapient*, in increasing order of reasonableness.

* Yeah, I know. It's "Homo Sapiens." But that joke on conservatives is a bit obvious, isn't it? Isn't it funny enough that we are throwing the evolutionary line of the human race in the fundamentalist conservative's face?
