At some point, the American public is going to revolt against the nanny state and the leftward march of this president. I don’t know when the tipping point will come, but I believe it will come soon.

Why?

Because the left wants: The government to explode; to pay everyone; to hire everyone; they believe that money grows on trees; the earth is flat; the industrial age, factory-style government is a cool new thing; debts don’t have to be repaid; people of faith are ignorant and uneducated; unborn babies don’t matter; pornography is fine; traditional marriage is discriminatory; 32 oz. sodas are evil; red meat should be rationed; rich people are evil unless they are from Hollywood or are liberal Democrats; the Israelis are unreasonable; trans-fat must be stopped; kids trapped in failing schools should be patient; wild weather is a new thing; moral standards are passé; government run health care is high quality; the IRS should violate our constitutional rights; reporters should be spied on; Benghazi was handled well; the Second Amendment is outdated; and the First one has some problems too.

Their philosophy does not work and it got our nation into the mess it’s in.

how do i pick just one

Hi i am your great fan suces (jjjusten), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 19:16 (twelve years ago)

i do think the funniest one is "to pay everyone", oh lord what a terrible idea, the madness

Money grows on trees cos money is printed on paper, which grows on trees, right?

due to formatting, I am deeply enjoying "Because the left wants the earth is flat"

they are either militarists (ugh) or kangaroos (?) (DJP), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 19:19 (twelve years ago)

I voted "reporters should be spied on" because that's the only one of these options I believe in

ttyih boi (crüt), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 19:20 (twelve years ago)

Extremely sad that there is no "The left wants to stop the war on terror". Like we are so far away from shaving away defense spending that it doesn't even factor into batshit Leftist caricatures.

Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 19:21 (twelve years ago)

haha omg he actually closes with "put on your big boy pants" thats amazing

Hi i am your great fan suces (jjjusten), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 19:21 (twelve years ago)

i do enjoy an entire opinion piece calling conservatives bedwetting girly man pussies, but i think his intention in doing so is different than mine

Hi i am your great fan suces (jjjusten), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 19:23 (twelve years ago)

how embarrassing must it be to get yelled at to toughen up by Bobby Jindal?

they are either militarists (ugh) or kangaroos (?) (DJP), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 19:25 (twelve years ago)

hahaha

Hi i am your great fan suces (jjjusten), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 19:30 (twelve years ago)

He should have closed with "I am Spaghetti Man, I contain multitudes, (also meatballs.)"

'the industrial age, factory-style government is a cool new thing'

haha wtf does this even mean

(The Other) J.D. (J.D.), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 22:35 (twelve years ago)

this kind of reads like a manic street preachers lyric sheet

(The Other) J.D. (J.D.), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 22:36 (twelve years ago)

government run health care is high quality

laughing and pointing at this one specifically cause it relates to my job and I hear same thing said by co-workers...uh yeah studies show best health care systems are govt run (or combo of govt/private, but those would be considered govt run by any Conservative pretty much)

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 22:39 (twelve years ago)

Yeah thats one I never got. "how dare u give me free healthcare you fascists!". OK. You go on paying 1000s a night for your hospital stay and tell me you live in the best country in the world, chump. I'm fine over here with my completely free CT scans and subsidised prescriptions, thanks.

It is like ganging up on Enya (Trayce), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 22:45 (twelve years ago)

i like that a guy who was once involved in an EXORCISM and wants magical stories taught in public school SCIENCE classes is accusing the "left" of thinking the Earth is flat

sons of plutarchy (will), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 22:56 (twelve years ago)

or is this some kind of T. Friedman bullshit?

sons of plutarchy (will), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 22:56 (twelve years ago)

yeah I assumed he was lumping Friedman in w/the left. really below the belt.

ttyih boi (crüt), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 23:16 (twelve years ago)

pornography is fine

what, just fine??

Yeezus Built My Hot Rod (King Boy Pato), Thursday, 20 June 2013 10:04 (twelve years ago)

are we voting for which one of these we want the most/agree with the most?

The drone that was played caused panic and confusion (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 20 June 2013 10:06 (twelve years ago)

pornography is fiiiiiiine

Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 20 June 2013 10:25 (twelve years ago)

i do think the funniest one is "to pay everyone", oh lord what a terrible idea, the madness

His complaint there tho is that the left wants the government to pay everyone, but this is magnified by the complaint that the left also wants the government... to hire everyone!

Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 20 June 2013 10:29 (twelve years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

System, Friday, 21 June 2013 00:01 (twelve years ago)

so i guess the 'proper' conservative positions are:

trans-fat must not be stopped
32 oz. sodas are good
rich people are good unless they are from Hollywood or are liberal Democrats

(The Other) J.D. (J.D.), Friday, 21 June 2013 00:16 (twelve years ago)

using the word passé seems kinda risqué

mookieproof, Friday, 21 June 2013 02:13 (twelve years ago)

debts don’t have to be repaid

Isnt this a conservative capatalist thing more than anything!? Or is he talking about 3rd world debt or something.

It is like ganging up on Enya (Trayce), Friday, 21 June 2013 03:10 (twelve years ago)

it is a bunch of crap not meant to make sense but to appease whatever segment of the american population that both reads politico and questions evolution

also it is a grammatical clusterfuck, but there u go

mookieproof, Friday, 21 June 2013 03:15 (twelve years ago)

wild weather is a new thing

chinavision!, Friday, 21 June 2013 03:18 (twelve years ago)

hope he'd at least allow that it'd be a drag for the government to hire everybody and not pay them, i mean who would you complain to about that

Doctor Casino, Friday, 21 June 2013 03:20 (twelve years ago)

whatever segment of the american population that both reads politico and questions evolution

It's totally fair to question evolution! It's just a scientific theory. They're supposed to be questioned. My problem is with people who want to teach religious creation myths like they're science.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Friday, 21 June 2013 03:25 (twelve years ago)

this is definitely wild weather.

it's v rather.

the white queen and her caustic judgments (difficult listening hour), Friday, 21 June 2013 03:33 (twelve years ago)

fair enough; i conflated skeptics with religious zealots

(i suspect that there are few of the former who aren't the latter in the usa)

mookieproof, Friday, 21 June 2013 03:35 (twelve years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

System, Saturday, 22 June 2013 00:01 (twelve years ago)

:'( only saw this poll now, would've thrown a vote to red-meat rationing.
