Klassisch Liberale haben eine Beisshemmung. Immer differenziert. Nie offensiv. Stets auf präventive Entschuldigungen bedacht. Derweil werden sie von polternden Neoliberalen, klassisch Konservativen, Neokonservativen, Grünen und Theokraten überrollt.
Ja, Liberale. Auch europäische. Gerade schweizerische. Werdet gemein. Polemisch. Zynisch. Ironisch. Sarkastisch. Aber hört auf, euch wie Rosinen zu benehmen. Vertrocknet und langweiliger als trocknende Farbe.

“I’d like to suggest a very simple strategy for American liberals: Get mean. Stop policing the language and start using it to hurt our enemies. American liberals are so busy purging their speech of any words that might offend anyone that they have no notion of using language to cause some salutary pain.

Why, for example, not popularize slogans that mock the Bush loyalists as “suckers”? Something like, “There are two kinds of Republicans: millionaires and suckers.” Put that on a few bumper stickers and I guarantee a lot of “South Park Republicans” will quit the GOP. They just smirk when you tsk-tsk at them for being disrespectful. They want to be disrespectful; every normal young male wants to be.”¹
