Ethical liberals?

These are the only liberals we should respect:

1. Limousine liberals who sell their cars and get around town in fully-licensed cabs instead.

2. Learjet liberals who sell their planes and take trips using commercial planes, trains and buses instead.

3. Rich liberals who power their homes and businesses with solar panels or wind turbines.

4. Rich liberals who send their kiddos to public schools instead of private schools.

5. Rich liberals who tear down property barriers and remove door locks and instead, use sensors and drones to monitor activities.

6. Rich liberals who live in poor neighborhoods.

7. Rich liberals, concerned about rising sea levels and hurricanes, leave their waterfront properties before it’s too late.

8. Rich liberals and politicians who own no guns, and their bodyguards and security staff carry none.

9. Liberals who believe in open borders, so move immigrants into their own homes and take responsibility for them.

10. Liberals who have the same standards regarding lying and corruption when discussing Democrat and Republican politicians.

11. A white liberal who gave up a prestigious college slot or job or political office so that a minority candidate could fill the slot.

Someone, please give us a list of ethical liberals.
