Tomato Liberals

I'd like to introduce you to phenomenon I call the shaking red exploding liberal tomato (or tomato liberal for short).

Basically, you take a sheltered student or graduate of an elite institution, preferably one who has lived all his life in a major city in the Northeast, and challenge their assumptions with facts. Then, watch the fun. I promise the liberal will start to insist his opinion is "just plain right" with no evidence. Then, as you continue to debate, he will visibly quake and turn tomato red. If you don't stop, you'll swear he is just about to explode.

Since I've moved to Texas, I enjoy this sport a lot less often but there is always the internet and Austin.
