s "Understand the single most defining characteristic of a liberal or a leftist is that they are lazy. They do not want to work. They do not want to strive. They want an easy and paid-for life as much as possible."
Uh, excuse me... You're calling not only me, but my husband, my parents, my siblings (none of whom you have ever met) "Lazy?"
Liberals who have spent their lives working with the poor, with the sick, with the disabled are "lazy?" Liberals who have traveled to other countries and lived among the poor there are "lazy?" The liberals who traveled to the American south and put their lives on the line in the name of black civil rights (sometimes paying the ultimate price) were "lazy?"
My parents are lazy? My Dad who helped run a soup kitchen? My mother who worked with emotionally disturbed kids and adults who were severely cognitively disabled is "lazy?" My brother the schoolteacher? My father-in-law the WWII vet who worked long hard days after the war to send his kids to college?
Do explain what you know about them that warrants this insult.
