Then there was her assertion that if she were dying, the 51% of Americans who voted for President Bush would "finish me off with a bullet," although, she claims, if they were dying "I'd offer them a drink."

This assumes two things. One, that 51% of Americans know or care about how she is or what she thinks. Two, that the left has cornered the market on compassion. The second is an old liberal lie from way back. The first is an amazing example of over estimating ones own importance.

Exactly! ... and Barbara Kay nailed it big time in her first paragraph:
"... set herself up for ridicule as Canada's paramount, almost parodic embodiment of liberal narcissism and corrosive anti-Americanism ..."

IMHO, all political correctness (including anti Americanism) is rooted in the greed and envy typifing the narcissistic liberal personality. Everything's all about them and their "feelings". Their out of control emotions render both logic and factual information alien, or at least secondary, to their supposed thought processes. Throw in their active rejection of personal responsibility and accountability and it's no wonder the highest state of liberal supposed consciousness is, even imagined, victimhood.
