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.

bmiller said...

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

Victor Reppert said...

How would you correct the misrepresentation?

Kevin said...

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. :-)

bmiller said...

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

"Demon worshipping liberal" is my gig.

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.

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?

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.

Mmm... Cheese.

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