I thought this thread was about why there weren't very many conservative comedians, not about what the liberal agenda is, although I felt Meilta had a great rebuttal post on the subject.
I can go either way here- if liberals wish to claim a monopoly on humor then it's only fair that conservatives lay claim to a monopoly on common sense. In that spirit I give you the following choices:
Who would you rather have as your airline pilot- Toad, a conservative who we all know is by the book and meticilous in his flight preperation, or Robin Williams, a leftist comedian?
Who would you rather have patroling your neighborhood at night- Maverick, a conservative cop we all know doesn't suffer fools gladly and is a by-the-book guy, or Emu Phillips, a leftist comedian?
Who would you rather have teaching your 9th grader- Shuckins, a conservative who listens to a liberal arguement and offers well articulated thought provoking rebuttals, or Chris Rock, a leftist comedian?
Who would you rather have judge you at a trial? Hortlund, a no-nonsense, by-the-book Damn You To Hell conservative, or Rosie O'Donnell, a leftist comedian?
Obviously you would prefer Toad as your pilot. Robin Williams is a recovering cocaine addict who has attention-deficate disorder. I'd feel safer knowing Toad were the pilot of my commercal flight.
Obviously you would prefer Maverick as your beat cop. Emu Phillips is more likely to stand in line with the peeping Toms as they gaze in your window. I'd feel safer if Maverick were patrolling my neighborhood.
Obviously you would prefer Shuckins as your child's teacher. Sorry, but people who listen and respond rationally on a bbs make better teachers than parrots who squack out the old "four legs good two legs bad" nonsense. As a parent he's the kind of teacher I want my child to have.
Obviously you would prefer Rosie O'Donnell sitting in judgement over you. She's compassionate and easily fooled, while Hortlund is cynical and ill tempered and inclined to give everybody the maximum sentance unless, of course, you have blonde hair and blue eyes and look like you're from fine Ayrian stock.
So what have we learned? In the jobs that really count- transportation, law enforcement, education, judicial- in three out of four professions conservatives are better suited. Sorry, Steve, but my eyes are brown so I know I'd have no chance in your courtroom. (Jest kidding)
