literary masturbation

A lot of so-called journalism today is literary masturbation where, instead of researching a subject and writing an informed and stimulating article, the writer has a wank-fest of verbal indulgence expressing their personal opinion. This is forgiveable in the very young who may be playing with language and style and have lived so shortly their lack of experience absolves them from such a waste of words. You have to make mistakes to learn. The real damage occurs when this behaviour lasts past college!
He's too lazy to engage with the subject so he just lays back and verbosely self-indulges - it's a shame, really, because he can string sentences together well; if only they had content....

Right Wing Liberal

Right Wing Liberal is a liberal whose liberalism is close to the old definition of liberalism. A right wing liberal stands for equality in opportunity and liberty. A left wing liberal in contrast stands for equality in outcomes and COULD be supportive of an oppressive democracy. Both left and right wing liberals are accepting of people of all races, faiths and sexualities. A perfect issue to differentiate a right wing liberal from a left winger would be the issue of private businesses having to serve all of their customers irrespective of their religious beliefs. A left wing liberal would want the businesses run by Catholics to not deny their service in a gay wedding. A right wing liberal too would prefer that, but would rather see the business owners make the right choice rather than the government forcing them to do so by the threat of an expensive penalty. When it comes to America Right Wing liberals also tend to respect the constitution way more than left wing liberals. The right to own a gun of any kind for example.

Right Wing liberals also tend to be more for individuality than collectivism. Right wing liberals acknowledge that people are different and thus their money making ability differs too. Their concept of equality in opportunity as it applies to economics is not denying any person to pursue his business interests in a free market. Left wing liberals on the contrary believe in class warfare and wealth redistribution.
Left wing liberal: There is a gender wage gap, with women making less than men. We need to eliminate it by rewarding women more for same work.

Right wing liberal: That does not sound liberal to me. You get paid proportional to your productivity. If any pay differences exist, it may be because productivity differences exist.

butt hurt liberal

a liberal who gets all whiny when everyone is making jokes. even though the jokes are meant to be harmless, the liberal's poor little inner child gets hurt, because his inner child is up his arse and there's no room for it alongside the stick that already resides in it.

Liberal Hippy Politics

Liberal Hippy Politics, is a concept that faded into history during the late 70s or early 80s after hitting its peak around 1972.
The hippy political movement was an anti-establishment force that was organized by anti-war college students. In 1968, Bobby Kennedy was the first presidential candidate supported by the hippies and George McGovern was the last major hippy supported candidate in 1972.
During the 70s, the hippies grew up and became yuppies and supported moderate mainstream candidates like Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.
Liberal Hippy Politics was the driving force that lead to the end of the Viet Nam war.
