This year, from after Thanksgiving until 2 January, I want everyone who wants to signify that they support any liberal or dirty hippy position to do the following things to show your support for the cause: 1.) Put up a large evergreen in your living room and dress it up with lots of ornaments. 2.) Drink egg nog. 3.) Place candles in your window. 4.) Take the day off on the 24th or 25th of December, and spend it with your family. 5.) Sing little ditties and songs (we can even call them “carols”). 6.) Buy gifts for your friends and loved ones. I have a lot more ideas about how we can really show our solidarity. I’m tentatively thinking about adopting the reindeer as our mascot, and maybe making mistletoe our official plant life, but I’m open to ideas.

The worst thing about the right wingers calling the Washington Post the "liberal media" isn't that it's factually inaccurate -- it's that they are making liberals look so bad by lumping us in with these people.
"no proof, just science and that makes it true for you liberals"
"go back to guatemala or whatever fucking middleeastern asshole you came from"
[W]hen conservatives fail their moral code (which happens, you know), the blame never falls on them. It always falls on some pervasive liberal elements that forced them into sin, or, even worse, made what they were doing a wrong in the first place. Rush Limbaugh says that Mark Sanford cheated out of eschatological despaire over the Antichrist Barack Obama ruining everything, while Mark Steyn declares that the only reason anyone even cared that Mark Sanford ran out on his job for five days is because of big-government liberalism [...] I, for one, would love it if I could believe in a God that magically sent Sean Hannity to jail when I held up a convenience store. If I could punch the guy at the movies on his cell phone and declare it Mitch McConnell’s fault, I’d be the greatest hero Transformers 2 had ever seen. But I don’t, because I have a moral code that says that the things I do are my fault. No sky man who has some massive sin refractor that immediately makes Bill Clinton the spirit guide of my penis, no ability to rationalize the objectively stupid things I do as the result of of some decades-long jihad against a vague catch-all evil.
