Prescriptions for an ideal left culture given by a variety of 
leftists have been contradictory.  We are exhorted to be nasty and 
funny; at the same time, we are urged to piously repeat platitudes 
(terrorism is barbaric, fundamentalists are our enemies, etc.). 
Avoid fist-shaking when it comes to anti-war rallies, but let 
everyone know that you cheer the death of an appropriate object of 
hate.

Fight evil.
