Have you noticed that liberals don't generally apply saracasm as much in the way they address things?
Sarcasm assumes a reliance upon logic. That is, one makes logical statements illogical and by doing so, expects others to follow along. Libs, on the other hand, rely on their own emotions a lot more, and we all know that sarcasm and appeals to the emotion just don't mix. That alone makes them sound pretentious.

As I have observed their preferred tool is hysteria, an emotional excess used as camouflage their lack of intellectual ability to engage.

That's so true...the liberals in my work and social circles are astonishingly bad at sarcasm. There is no humor in it because the words come out with anger. And if they 'talk like a conservative' in jest, it gives me the opportunity to praise their conversion. Being liberals, they cannot laugh at that, and get all red and quite mad!
