Mitchell Freedman points to this hilarious La Cucharacha comic strip which sums up a great truth about the role reversal that's been going on between conservatives and liberals. Well, I should point out, between whatever it is that passes for conservatives these days and liberals. I don't think I can find any more conservatives wandering about any more - they seem to be quite extinct in the United States of America. Maybe they exist in other game preserves countries - but I digress.
Yesterday I was driving home and listening to that commie pinko, Saddam coddling public radio station and this guy was going on about some rodeo in his town - can't remember the context precisely (you know how us liberals lose short term memory - wink, wink). Anyways, he was setting up the picture of the town and he said "this isn't the place for some long haired liberal hippy would show up for a love-in or..." - can't remember the rest because I almost choked because I was laughing so hard.
Love-in. Let the phrase roll off your tongue. Now, I don't know about you, but I think the last "love-in" was somewhere around 1970 - maybe 1969 (get it?). Wait, I take that back. They occurred artificially in TV sitcoms throughout the 70's, but that doesn't really count. Anyways, the point is, this joker on NPR was basically using a stereotype of the left that hasn't been true for at least 25 years - if ever.
And that's kind of the point of this rambling post. As far as I can tell, what passes for the conservative right these days has a comically inept viewpoint of what it is to be liberal. Apparently we're all members of PETA, spend our weekends in Greenpeace rubber rafts harassing Japanese wAzaelers while criss crossing the mid west in our never ending quest for the perfect city to hold a massive "love-in".
Oh, I forgot. Since 9/11, our main goal has been to support the terrorists and search for therapists who can turn that bin Laden frown upside down...
My lord. What a bunch of absolute morons.
