Well, not literally. Because liberals don’t fuck. They donate. Sperm. To people they’d apparently rather not meet (or fuck). But they’ve convinced themselves that it somehow feels better this way. For a while. Until, that is, they realize that those to their right and – most assuredly — to the their left – are having more fun. And then they bitch and moan. Which, I guess, helps them forget that they don’t fuck.

See, I’ve got it all figured out.

I’m speaking, of course, about the liberal whine-fest going on about the right-wingers who are daring to show their passion in public by standing up and speaking out about the Democrats’ new “health-insurance reform” plans. Sure, these right-wingers need to be dissed for the nefarious ways in their thinking (earth to wingers: your arguments are half-baked at best). But your passion is pretty cool.

And, unfortunately for those of us who believe in real and total – gasp! – socialized medicine for every man, woman and child in this country (you know, kind of like Canada), the right-wingers are kicking some activist ass, forcing the health-care reform possibilities to slip in the same ditch they died in back in 1992.

But since the liberals hate passion, they’re counter strategy for the moment is to diss passion, wag their fingers in rebuke, claim American democracy is based on “civility” (try telling that to the Iraqis, Afghanis, et al), and otherwise sit wringing their hands in a fit of nervous and judgmental nothingness. You can’t do that!

Um, liberals, they CAN do that. In fact, they ARE doing that. And – again unfortunately – they’re winning by moving the heath-care debate into the nebulous never-land of complete and utter nonsense. Why do you think your almighty savior, Obama, hasn’t uttered the words “single-payer” since before he needed your vote? Or, for that matter, why do you think Obama’s new goal is to simply “reform the insurance industry?”

Let me answer those questions: Because the right-wingers are showing passion and the liberals are busy crying foul over the display of passion. Losers.

I really love it when the liberals are declaring that the passion being shown by the wrong-headed rightists is being orchestrated by an “organized movement.” And what’s the problem with that? Yo liberals, try it sometime. But, be careful, you might find that you have to actually stand up and speak out for something other than Team Democrat at election time. Oh no, there go the cocktail party invitations and 4-star ratings at your favorite ninny-liberal blog!

I had the opportunity to hear a bit of Vermont’s Senator Bernie Sanders on the radio this afternoon. He was huffing and puffing about the right-wing passion and, while admonishing them, he actually declared that “American democracy is based on civility.”

Sorry, but you have to be neck-deep in liberal bullshit to believe this. And you’d also have to be totally and completely devoid of any understanding of American history, too. Because there was nothing very civil about the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the war on the Native Americans, the fight for rights for women and minorities or, for that matter, the fights for workers’ rights. People died for these causes. So stop getting your panties in a fucking wad about some dopes who stand up and speak out of turn at a meeting.

But we all know why they’re pissed. Because they’re afraid of passion. They’re afraid to risk anything for their beliefs. And they’re devoid of the ability to do much of anything politically other than bet it all on some election-day fantasy involving the “next best hope.”

Yeah, it must suck to be a liberal. So much rhetoric, so little action, and so many other people to blame for your inaction.

Go forth and agitate. You know, like Malcolm X, John Brown, Scott Nearing and Emma Goldman.
