A case for government regulation

 Here.

  1. I thought this was about the government regulation of enterprise. Look, even if you have both firm religious convictions and firm political convictions, baptizing your politics is just wrong, on many levels.

  2. Sorry. I thought it was about misrepresenting your political opponent's position.

  3. How would you correct the misrepresentation?

  4. In all fairness the "girly man liberal" part is correct.

    I'd make the satire funnier. I think my response did that. I got at least one good review for the "girly man liberal" joke. :-)

  6. Sorry. I misread. The "girly man liberal" joke score goes to the original satire.

    "Demon worshipping liberal" is my gig.

  7. You know, I have a confession to make. After I could plainly see the piece was a satire, I stopped reading it. But after the challange I made the effort to read the entire thing.

    My satirical response was inferior to the original.
    I mean who hasn't met a:

    tree-hugging liberal
    commie liberal
    girly-man liberal
    crybaby liberal
    environmentalist wacko liberal
    fancy-pants liberal
    lazy liberal
    stupid liberal
    godless liberal
    elitist liberal
    America-hating liberal
    big-government liberal
    wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal
    big-government liberal


    Each leftist is a combination of most if not all of the labels.
    I only singled out one of the distinguishing characteristics.

  8. I dunno. I like trees, but I've never hugged one. Definitely an environmentalist, but what sane person isn't? Lazy? Possibly. But I know some pretty darn lazy Trump loving rednecks. Absolutely wine drinking and especially cheese eating, but are those activities at all political? None of the others fit me.

    I noticed you listed "big government liberal twice. An obsession, maybe?

    And by the way, how can one be America-hating and big-government-loving at the same time, if the "big government" is American?

  9. I was just cutting and pasting and that phrase was used twice cheese-eater.

    And by the way, how can one be America-hating and big-government-loving at the same time, if the "big government" is American?

    I suppose if you think Americans are supposed to be against big government and someone loves big government and wants to turn America into that, then they can both hate America (because the government is too small) and love big government, and so want to"fundamentally transform" it from what it is into something else.

    But honestly I don't think the leftie that wrote the satire was thinking very deeply.

  10. Mmm... Cheese.

    And for the record, I just bought this morning a 100 dollar wheel of Stilton (for the holidays).
