democrats who are outspoken about the problems facing this country today. I don't know if that could be called 'paranoid' or not, but fear of people exercising their 1st Amendment rights generally is associated with paranoia.
I generally find the Left to have been right about almost everything over the past decade.
I remember being called a 'paranoid leftie' by Freepers and Right Wingers who I encountered on internet forums during the Bush years. Turns out we Paranoid Lefties were right. So proud paranoid leftie here. Why would you use language intended to be derogatory to democrats that is also used by right wingers?
Just so you know, though, 'paranoid lefties' are pretty tough and since this meme comes from the right, it gets all the 'credit it deserves' from rational people.
