Sometimes, liberals miss the point.
On my latest post, http://www.addictinginfo.org/2011/07/29/the-lie-behind-“cultural-marxism”-and-a-message-to-foolish-republican-nativists/ I wrote when referring to conservatives: 



“Explaining the actual problems these organizations pose to our society would involve work, and you know how conservatives are lazy and aren’t willing to do the intellectual work to make a logical, cogent argument, right?”



One commenter wrote: 


“The first is a combination of tone and language, especially in the latter part of the article. You’ve even bolded the worst part for me:
“…you know how conservatives are lazy and aren’t willing to do the intellectual work to make a logical, cogent argument, right?”
That is a generalization, and a gross one.”



What’s wrong with his comment? The problem is that this writer lacks a sense of humor and hasn’t little or no experience with conservatives like Ann Coulter, Bill O’Reilly and others who constantly stereotype liberals as “lazy”. I thought I made that clear by bolding the words. I even added the tag word, “right”? as a clue, right?



Point is, y’all are going to have a sense of humor if you want to get through the latest bull shit in the United States. 



Peace,

Tex Shelters

1. Sense of humor
Some people take themselves far too seriously to even HAVE a sense of humor, let alone a sense of irony - which you successfully conveyed, whether they recognized it or not. Maybe they're just lazy. ;-)
