Conservative thread: We're still smiling!

[Michelle67]

Oh and Grog, thanks a lot for that "Dumb (Gay) American" link. That was a nice article. I love the letter the guy wrote to his friends and family. I really liked this:

I have since met real people who identify as Republicans and even Christians – the religion we are constantly warned (despite plenty of evidence to the contrary) is the worst, most dangerous in the world. I have been in the dreary Catholic church of my partner’s parents. And guess what. I’ve never felt more welcome, even as an openly gay man there with my partner. I have no interest in Catholicism or going to church. And I’m sure underneath, the church folk do not fully approve of how we live. Maybe some do. But newsflash: I don’t have to approve of how they live either. And none of us is killing the other. They are not the enemy.

I have over the past eight years also observed – and experienced the lash of –
an increasing unwillingness by otherwise decent, intelligent people to tolerate points of view that do not adhere to “politically correct” guidelines. In other words, the “talking stick” schtick no longer asks that you merely listen, it demands that you shut up. And you must conform. Just days after Sarah Palin’s powerhouse speech at the Republican National Convention – before Tina Fey had even unleashed her incredible spoof – I attended a business lunch where withering remarks about the newbie candidate went down around the table like well-lined-up dominoes. Palin was already being labeled a “self-parody”; it wasn’t Tina Fey’s fault.

I liked the whole quote, but ain't that bolded part the truth!

Ok, here's a mini-story to start...

Once upon a time, there was a dude called Hussein. Since he was a little kid, he was 'd to take over by his communist pals. He became good at , which made all the feel like and which eventually made them the . Others were not fooled for they didn't look at him with but actually to what he had to say and realized he was a and . This made them to think that the s could fall for such a . Now there will be a in the White House after the most expensive inauguration in history. Never fear though because the cons will be counting 'til they can finally Palin as the new POTUS. The End

Ok, that wasn't as much fun as I thought.

That was GREAT!
