This scares me

My friends, I don't mind telling you that this frightens me a bit.

Fundamentalist Christian radio host Bryan Fischer says that the white supremacist who massacred six people at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin must have been a liberal because he hated former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain and had a “a left-wing political philosophy.”

I have no reason to doubt Mr. Fischer's veracity here; his no doubt vast monies confirm that he is a Decent, God-fearing, blessed man. But I have to say, I myself have never warmed to Herman Cain. I can't even really explain what it is about Herman that troubles me; I love his plan to shift my tax burden onto the Peasant and his courage in speaking truth to power by explaining to the Peasant that the Peasant itself is responsible for its lowly station in life. I suppose it's nothing more than a vague sense that there's something Different about Mr. Cain, that he's not quite One of Us, but I can't, in all honesty, articulate why I feel that way. I certainly hope that this does not make me a liberal!

It is a complete mystery to me.

Now, fortunately, I most certainly do not possess a "left wing political philosophy," which Mr. Fischer has astutely identified in Page's ideology:

“You know what the Nazi Party stands for? It’s the National Socialist Party. What about the word ‘socialist’ do you not understand? They were the National Socialist Party – that is a left-wing political philosophy,” he insisted.

Obviously the great historian Jonah Goldberg has already amply demonstrated this point, but perhaps its subtleties escape the slow-witted liberal (but I repeat myself): Socialism is liberal and also in the name of the Nazi Party, therefore the Nazis were liberals. This is scholarly rigor at work.

A Question of Terminology

As this venue is intended to facilitate a frank discussion among society's Winners as to how to preserve our way of life in the face of incessant persecution from lesser creatures such as those who are poor, it would behoove us to settle on the best terminology to use when referring to those denizens of the lower 99.9 (let's be honest here) percent. I have always preferred "The Peasant" as my term of choice when referring to these lowly beings. The word itself accurately depicts its condition, and retaining the singular while making it a proper noun provides just the right touch of dehumanization to convey the appropriate message. However, there are many other terms that can be used to accurately describe The Peasant and its proper role in the social order of things. I offer the following poll as a way for us, the successful, to settle on the best possible language.

What terminology should this venue adopt when referring to the common people?
