As with Chairman Mao's little red book....
...(Actually had one years ago.), many of us could use a little work on our virtue broadcasting. Especially me and my many conservative qualities. But many on the left are surprised to find out how these often dovetail with their own, at least the ones they PROFESS to have. Do as we say, not as we do. But don't take my words for it. Check out the comparative studies done on the charitable tendencies of liberals, using valid methodologies, as opposed to those on the other end of the political spectrum. Or be invited to the home of some limousine liberals, and unless there's some reason to impress you, the fare is often sparse. Right here, we see these folks whipping around accusations of other's insensitivities to the less fortunate, avering that we ueber right Patriots think only of our own wealth. Of course, these are the same folks who whip about terms like racism, and words ending in phobia. And recall the Clintons' trying to use old undies as tax deductions. But I digress. Our high tax town is mostly run by liberals. many of the volunteer activities for the less fortunate here are often spearheaded by my right wing associates. Public access to the ocean on rights-of-way, 12 step groups in corrections centers, a food pantry/soup kitchen, and so on. At a recent first meeting of a group exploring the creation of a homeless shelter here, there were only a few NIMBY concerns raised. Guess from whom? And those neighborhood property owners abutting the (now deeded, established, signage marked) paths to the bay were mostly limousine libs. Early Prius drivers all. Can't make this stuff up.
