I normally read Salon.com each day in order to understand what is being said among the wacky left that calls itself “progressive”. After years of studying this group, I believe that I have come to understand them and how they communicate. There are only a few rules that you need to follow to get through to them.
• Be abusive and make sure to call your opponents names. It also helps a lot to question the sanity of those who disagree with you.
• Repeat like a mantra that the government has not done enough.
• Point out that all those who disagree with you are either racist or sexist. If that does not seem applicable you can always use homophobic.
• Remember that all problems with regard to foreign relations stems from the Arab - Israeli conflict and are the fault of the intransigence of the Jews.
• Point out always that the problem of terrorism is an aberration confined to just a few people who happen to be Muslim. Always remember that the terrorists have valid grievances that arise from the odious acts of the United States.
• To the extent that Israel cannot be blamed for world problems, they all stem from US imperialism.
• Those who are not progressive are morons.
There is more, but if you limit yourself to these basic rules, you will have made a good start towards becoming a true progressive.
