Judgments in the name of "non-judgmentalism"
Stephen Bainbridge makes some excellent points about how moral relativism and judgmentalism co-exist on the "left":
It seems to me that liberals in fact not only "don't hesitate to judge people's beliefs," but they also don't "blanch at judging [certain people's] behavior." In other words, the Democrats have become "the party of 'anything goes'" precisely because they are ready to judge anybody who thinks some things should remain out of bounds.
Grumpy Old Man makes a similar and cogent point here.
I think it's time to come up with a list of the "Top Ten (or Top 100) Things that Leftists Think It's O.K. to Be Judgmental About."
Wonderdog? Stewdog? Help me out here.

No, Madman. The list will not be in alphabetical order.
There's a great example of the left's tolerance in today's Prickly City.
Great example, C.I.V. -- thanks!
I saw the Prickly City. It was great.
There is a leftist 10 commandments, actually the number is higher. They are intolerant of what they view as intolerant.
1. Though shalt honor Roe v. Wade.
2. Though shalt not name any team
after native Americans (Jackie
Goldberg has a bill in the CA
Legislature to BAN Indian
Mascots).
3. Though shalt honor the Kerry
bumpersticker.
4. Though shalt not vouch for
vouchers.
5. Honor they Campus Speech Codes.
The list goes on.
