A List of Barely Socratic Questions to American Progressives

These are my favorites:

•Ever noticed that those who demand "power to the people" also believe that people can't do anything right without government supervision?

•If all cultures are equal, why doesn't UNESCO organize International Cannibalism Week festivals?

•Why do those demanding "equal pay for equal work" never protest against "equal pay for little or no work"?

•Why does Hollywood glamorize drug addicts, criminals, liberal Democrats, and mentally challenged people? What do they all have in common?

•Would you know from the media coverage that there are more sex offenders among public school teachers then among Catholic priests? How come the church gets the blame and the Department of Education doesn't?

•Why is the media so outspoken about sex abusers being priests, but avoids calling them homosexual pedophiles? Who are they afraid to offend?

•If Hollywood types are so opposed to capitalism, why is there a warning against unauthorized distribution of their movies?

•Why do advocates for higher taxes have accountants advising them how they can pay smaller taxes? Wouldn't you expect them instead to seek advice on how to give away more of their income to the IRS? Or at least not to hire accountants at all?

•And finally, if all opinions are equal, how come a liberal who disagrees with a conservative is open-minded, but a conservative who disagrees with a liberal is a bigot?
