The Ballad of the Bleeding Heart Liberal My life has been a horror,
since I took up the liberal's art. But now I don't feel so guilty (It's great to be a "bleeding heart"). The secret of this art is easy: just be nice to everyone. Even to murderers and molesters (It doesn't matter what they've done). Every guilt was on my shoulders; now listen to my tale: I'm responsible for all evil (I'm white, middle-class, and male). Villains robbed my house once, and my family they did assault. But this was due to society's ills (I knew it was not their fault). My daughter tried to stop them; they beat her with boot and fist. I did not try to save her (I'm a "born-again" pacifist). Their actions I could not judge; other people, I cannot condemn. Even though my wife was "graped" (there was a "bunch" of them). It was the same some years before, fighting Japs in jungle mud. I never shot a-one of them (couldn't stand to see yellow blood). In the future, when the Asian hordes follow their brothers' call: They'll outnumber Aussies ten to one ("We're all human", after all). My eldest son now condemns me, and tells me I'm a "nong", because I sold my country to the Japs (now, how could that be wrong?). My son thinks I'm an idiot, and he says I've got no hope. But I call myself a "liberal" (perhaps it should be "dope"?). The Ballad of the Bleeding-Heart Liberal, 1995 |

an individual and idealist who at times espouses very reasonable, perhaps even thoughtful, political inclinations but whose lack of character and unsubstantiated smugness make any discourse they may embrace largely unpalatable to any self-respecting citizen. Self-respecting citizen #1 "Well, I half agree with Tom (a bleeding-heart liberal) on that one. But Jesus, I just can't get over him wafting his own farts towards his nose like that."
Self-respecting citizen #2 "You know, i thought that was slightly odd too...." |

A democrat or political left-winger(2 different things) who tends to be subjective in their political views. Political subjectiveness is ok to some degree, but I think that some people tend to get carried away or be unrealistic. These types are somewhat of sore to American society, but on the other hand help balance out crazy redneck or bureaucrat conservatives. Both could be done without in the end because of their serious bias on everything that ever happens.

There are few types of people who fall into this group: 1.Activists-the troublemakers who are violent and crazy but try to cover up by pretending that their motives are moral. 2:Stoners-people who have taken a lot of time to think through where they stand politically, and realize that violence is an ineffective way to reach their goal, even if the establishment is refusing to listen to them. These people think Bush is a terrible president, and give logical reasons. 3:Metalheads-people who have taken a lot of time to think through where they stand politically, but are too carefree to do anything more than write music about it. Also, they are pessimistic and feel they will never change anything. This group also has logical reasons for hating Bush, such as the fact that the only Iraqis killed by Sadam were rebels who were trying to assassinate HIM. 4.Nobodies-people who really have none of their own views, but will make themselves think they believe in anything that is popular.
