Blechh!
One liberal trait that I’ve always found particularly endearing is the way that – in almost any argument – they move, in the blink of an eye, from the specific to the general in support of their pet causes. For instance, because some abortions might be morally justifiable, the very act of abortion itself becomes infused with nobility - no matter whose child is being killed. (The millions of kids who get flushed away every year evidently don’t matter one whit to entertainment industry liberals – perhaps because the carey-feely stars’ careers will be over by the time the little suckers are able to buy tickets.)

Another thing I find lovable about liberals is how they seem
incapable of supporting any cause without striking poses designed to let us all
know that they’re enlightened, compassionate and brave. I mean, what the hell
is all that crap about “disappearing”? And why talk about an "act of solidarity", which is the sort of language only used by the Left? And why spoil a day when children around the world express their love for their mothers with their smug liberal posturing? "Remember, you selfish little bastards - you could have killed your Mom! We hope you feel really bad about that!"
And, when they’re seeking general support for their stance, why do liberals feel the need to choose
slogans deliberately designed to repel at least half the people they're attempting to influence? How exactly did the idiots who made this tax-funded smug-fest expect the concept of “No
Mother’s Day” to go down with tens of millions of non-coastal conservatives?
Maybe they think it would be a good idea if more Republican-voting hockey moms checked out early – who knows? Liberals are always banging on about "inclusiveness" - and yet often couch their social-engineering propaganda in terms guaranteed to make those of us who don't subscribe to their eccentric and counter-intuitive view of the world feel thoroughly excluded.
There’s an excellent episode of South Park entitled “Smug
Alert” which attacks the attitude of liberals who drive hybrid cars (a “Toyonda Pious” in this case) in
order to “save the planet” and treat the rest of us as if our choice of car
proves we want to murder baby seals. Everyone in town starts buying hybrids, thereby creating an enormous cloud of smugness, which collides with the cloud of
self-satisfaction caused by George Clooney’s 78th Academy Awards acceptance
speech. This causes a huge storm which destroys all the cars in town. At
the end of the episode, Kyle asks those planning to replace their hybrids if they could possibv drive them without acting as
if they’re superior to everyone else. Realising it’s impossible to drive a
hybrid without feeling incredibly smug, the townsfolk decide to buy good old-fashioned carbon-emitting gas-guzzlers.
If you support a cause because it makes you feel good about yourself, it’s hard for the rest of us not to want to slap your silly, self-satisfied face and resolve to resist whatever you’re pushing with all our might.
But it was so unspecific about what the message was that it was only your title that made me work out what they must be on about. I thought it might be an advert for a new type of safer natal delivery forceps. What a miserable bunch of worthies and a crap tune too As you say, it can't be much fun being a boy growing up in any of those households.
