[lbo-talk] conservatives vs. leftists

[Carrol Cox]

// ravi: However, my own experience (when it comes to gregarious, polite,
etc; I don't know about generosity) has been mixed. Liberals and leftists
tend to be more asshole'ish on the net. But much better in person. I think
the context (of live encounters) tones down their MENSAssholishness.
Conservatives on the other hand vary. one type, the kind old church lady
prone to saying sweet racist shit fits your stereotype. Then there is the
old Irish guy I met at a barbecue recently, who took off at the first excuse
on that "socialist faggot"(*) Obama.

I'm afraid you fail to escape the trap I mentioned in my previous post: Your
categories have no demonstrable foundation. They are purely imaginary.
