The biggest difference between left and right?

I think I have figured it out. The biggest difference between left and right is not about policy. It is not about positions on GAY RIGHTS, the WAR ON WOMEN, the BIG SOCIETY, RACE and RACISM, UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE, CREATIONISM, RELIGION, EVOLUTION, CLIMATE CHANGE, GUN CONTROL or FOX NEWS v NBC. Etc etc

Nope, nothing to do with those things at all. Political beliefs are all about your state of mind and it occurred to me after years of pottering about on the interwebs and watching multitudes of conservatives twist their panties in wads of not so righteous indignation at just about everything, that I really now know the difference between the left and the right…..

DRUM ROLL PLEASE

Conservatives DO NOT have a sense of HUMOUR. At least not one I have any hope of understanding. I wonder if that is why there are so few conservative comedians? Maybe it is because they have sold their souls to the devil, that they look like they are sucking on a lemon ALL THE TIME? Maybe they like being cross as a state of mind? Who knows, but I do know it is a very rare thing to see them crack a funny that is actually funny.

Heh

A sense of humor based on punching down is all about mocking, mean-spiritness, ugliness, bigotry and bullying.

They live to look down on people, compensating for how small and miserable they they themselves feel.

And whenever the people that they attack defend themselves, you’d best believe that the righties will play the victim, projecting their own worst qualities on the real victims. The

Being petty, pathetic, angry and paranoid makes the right wing what it is, a collective of the most hateful and ignorant motherfuckers alive.

Progressives have hearts, care about others and want the best for all, Repugs just care about themselves and want to hurt others, to take what others have and give it to themselves and their rich friends. They don't care one bit about anyone other than themselves and their tribe, if you are a liberal, they'd just as soon see you bleeding out if you dare disagree with the tiniest little thing.
