Identity crisis
I have always had a problem identifying myself as a "liberal".
Partly because I have known a lot of people who did use this label and I didn't like them much.
Argumentative, stubbornly orthodox and frustratingly bleeding hearted they can be annoying as shit.
Actually most of the bleeding heart thing is a fake. While weeping for the downtrodden, they sip their third martini and make smart talk with each other.
And so on.
Don't get me started.
So this is a welcome and refreshing opinion.
The End of Identity Liberalism
It sort of takes apart the snobby notion that some groups of people even need to be taken care of by affluent whites (most libs) and gives a good look at the hypocrisy involved.
Look, some of my best friends are liberals but I cannot stand to talk to them about anything political.
Their vacuous nonsense provided a lot of space for the "booboise" to move in and take over our government.
I guess that is why I am a "moderate". If I am anything.
How about "pragmatist"?
