Dealing with people of a liberal political persuasion can be befuddling.
I got birthday wishes from a long-time friend the other day. That friend is a self-described liberal. The email concluded by saying, “I’m sure you will consider it successful if you annoy as many liberals as possible!”

We just want to buy the kinds of lightbulbs we want, have our friends send their kids to the schools they want, exercise our 2nd Amendment right without having to pay a fee to the government, buy the kind of health insurance we want, buy cars with the gas mileage we want, enter the open-air WWII memorial without harassment from state police, stop ballot box fraud, give people the right to work without fear of union thugs, uphold private sector contracts without government officials taking sides, stop government agencies from manipulating markets, stop government from borrowing to pay the debt they run up and that we all will have to pay off, keep idiots from telling me what is good for me and forcing me to do things I hate to do because of it, discontinue the policies of robbing productive people to pay off political cronies.
