There's nothing wrong with Tofu in small doses...or large if you happen to be Japanese.

Who I might add happen to be very 'right' in their thinking.

Well, I think one of the nice things about lefties is their ability to see humour instead of only postulating 'the facts' as they see them.

I think one big difference between the left and the right, is that the right tends to be dour and self righteous. Seldom do you see a neocon poking fun at himself.

Someone who uses their left hand predominantly? Or scissors made for such an individual?

Equal time!!!1! They're making fun of conservatives in the "righty" thread. Someone make fun of lefties, quick. I can't think of anything this early in the morning, other than Ted Kennedy leaving that girl to die and still getting elected.

I think we can all rest easy knowing that, if we do NOT know what a lefty IS, we can at least identify what a lefty wears: Bridget Jones: "well, I don't look very lefty in this!"

Bridget goes on to say that lefties are the heart of England, they stand for single mothers and AIDS victims, while Tories are only concerned with smidgens of percents regarding deficits.

What say the Brits?

The Republicans seem to understand teens needing love here as well.

A lefty is someone who wants you to be tolerant, and damn you if you won't! Burn in hell, you intolerant pieces of TRASH!

P.S. Yes, that was satire, and yes, I am new.

The finest satire is that which contains a large economy sized grain of truth.

Welcome.

I can admit it, you're right, Wolf. I know my fair share of self-righteous lefties. Quite a share, in fact.
