You may remember this little number from way back at SOB; time to bring it out of mothballs: A Modern Liberal Democrat --with apologies to Gilbert & Sullivan and "A Modern Major-General"
I am the very model of a modern liberal Democrat I've spread out 'cross the nation from my native campus habitat I know our shabby history of policies discriminate And think we should apologize from now until the infinite
I look upon myself as a citizen international I think restricting entry of illegals is irrational I take care always to show elevated moral attitude And speak with unimpeachable political correctitude
And speak with unimpeachable political correctitude And speak with unimpeachable political correctitude And speak with unimpeachable political correcti-rectitude
Though not myself religious I will talk of spirituality I worship at the shrine of income and gender equality I support racial set-asides, preferences, and bureaucrats I am the very model of a modern liberal Democrat
He supports racial set-asides, preferences, and bureaucrats He is the very model of a modern liberal Democrat
I reject the notion that Al-Qaeda wants to form a Caliphate We'd rapidly end differences if we would just negotiate I think we should do more to prevent other nations' genocide But if we use our military I'll support the other side
I second-guess every decision strategic and tactical I support our troops in every way, as long as it's not practical Our army should not engage in perilous foreign adventure So I oppose on principle each new defense expenditure
So I oppose on principle each new defense expenditure So I oppose on principle each new defense expenditure So I oppose on principle each new defense expend-expenditure
I think that women should have choices when they're faced with pregnancy But there is one choice over others I view preferentially In short, supporting set-asides, preferences, and bureaucrats I am the very model of a modern liberal Democrat
In short, supporting set-asides, preferences, and bureaucrats I am the very model of a modern liberal Democrat
But when I have shed my nostalgic dreams of a revolution When I know government's the problem more than the solution When I realize there's no way that we can fund Social Security With so much of our population having reached maturity
When I have learnt taxation doesn't create private sector jobs When I stop using tax grants as a way to buy votes from the mob In short, when I have shorn some of my more blatant hypocrisies You might actually see me begin to support democracy
You might actually see me begin to support democracy You might actually see me begin to support democracy You might actually see me begin to support democra-mocracy
Still the economic knowledge which I've clung to from my early teens Says, "To each who wants it must come from each person who has got the means" And so, supporting set-asides, preferences, and bureaucrats I am the very model of a modern liberal Democrat
And so, supporting set-asides, preferences, and bureaucrats I am the very model of a modern liberal Democrat
