First of all, I wasn't deprecating anything, I was describing. Second, 
the point I was making about leftists was not that they described people 
en masse.

If I had thought that a single sentence in my post captured what I was 
saying, I would have cut the post down to the single sentence. I did not 
do that.

The nature of your response makes me inclined to boil my point down to 
short sentences with small words so that hopefully you can understand 
finally. But I have a feeling that that would not be of any more value 
to you.
