Our newbie Freeper friend has posted a question that was posed to the Uptight Seattlite, which is kind of like the Seattle Weekly's version of Miss Manners.
The questioner is basically saying, "Why do you Seattlites humor crazy homeless people the way you do by conversing with them as though they weren't crazy?"
The Uptight Seattlite then replies:
Dear Crud Shunner,And thus with this PC-drenched reply we gain insight into the liberal mind.If it seems like there's some kind of test, that's because there is. You've heard of secret shoppers who are hired to check a store's service? There are also secret street people. They'll note not just overt rudeness but also the silent waves of superiority you may emanate while standing at the bus stop like an imperious radio tower. Is that man in the alley ranting at God or relaying a report on your attitude via the Bluetooth device implanted in his skull? You'll never know.
But don't worry! Talking to them is not as hard as you might think. Most every conversation—with a crazy person or not—follows a pattern we can grasp without conscious thought. Simply relax and let the pattern assert itself like the moon on the ocean tides: Someone makes an observation, then you make vague sounds of agreement. So if a man in "Your Basic Hat" turns to you with the full power of his bloodshot high beams and remarks, "Mother Squirrel's pissed a right fortknock, ruddy," smile brightly and say, "Huh, yeah. I'll say!"
But perhaps, unable to simply surrender to the gentle, timeless flow of human courtesy, you're doomed to fail the test put to you by the next secret street person you meet. Half a block later, you'll feel yourself being steered by the elbow into the back room of the nearest independently owned coffee shop for a complimentary soy cappuccino and a quick little seminar. Don't panic, though! You're perfectly free to go. Just as soon as you grasp a few principles of tolerance. You'll emerge blinking out into the street 20 minutes later with a more compassionate view of the downtrodden of the world. You may also spontaneously realize that mocking the kindness of your fellow citizens is not the most productive use of your energy.

Why can’t Liberals simply adopt the far more honest and straight forward phrase: STFU?
