Dan Kurtzman's Liberal Manifesto

Bill in Portland Maine includes a great passage from Dan Kurtzman's book How to Win a Fight with a Conservative. I would love to post it all but BiPM got permission and I have not, so here is a teaser:
Liberals believe in clean air, diplomacy, stem cells, living wages, body armor for our troops, government accountability, and that exercising the right to dissent is the highest form of patriotism.

Liberals believe in reading actual books, going to war as a last resort, separating church and hate, and doing what Jesus would actually do, instead of lobbying for upper-class tax cuts and fantasizing about the apocalypse.

...

Liberals believe that supporting our troops means treating our wounded vets like the heroes they are, and not leaving them to languish in rat-infested military hospitals under the outsourced management of incompetent cronies who think they’re running a Taco Bell franchise.
[Highlighting mine]
