Wouldn’t a good Republican superhero be charging what the market will bear for his heroics, rather than encouraging people to become dependent on Big Justice?

If they want to stop being cast as the villains, perhaps they should stop being villainous.

You with your complicated ideas.

The TV show “Family Guy” is the reason we aren’t all Republicans. Damn you, Peter Griffin
Now, Superman…He was a great Republican.

“Any audience of people that grew up with classical Superman automatically love this country because Superman is about the best America we can be, and when Superman was all over the pop culture we were a nation that loved this country,” Whittle said. “Now, 20 years after the peak of Superman’s popularity along comes Gilligan’s Island. That’s pretty neutral in terms of politics. Really about the only message you can get from Gilligan’s Island is if you want to get off the island all you have to do is kill Gilligan. But if you’re a young person out there today and you can finish the theme song from Family Guy, then all the anti-American, anti-capitalist, anti-Christian, anti-morality messages of Family Guy are in your head as completely and thoroughly as that theme song is… You’re programmed by the pop culture. You’re programed by story. It’s all about stories, and if we’re the villain in all of the stories that are told we’re never going to win another election again.”
One can’t help wondering how Great American Clark Kent could bear working for a lefty liberal rag like The Daily Planet.
All part of his cover. Like changing the contours of your face and becoming unrecognizable by wearing stupid horn-rimmed glasses. Genius!

I’ve never watched Family Guy , but based on this endorsement, I had better start watching. As a good liberal, I just loves me some anti-American, anti-capitalist, anti-Christian, anti-morality messages!

A genius, you say?
Clearly a part of the lefty intellectual elite!

I see. And where do you stand on sexy parties?
I’m in favor of them, in principle. But as a married man, I only partake in those that consist solely of me and my wife.
I have plans to market a cologne for men of mature years that publicly announces their marital status and unflinching fidelity. Call it Old Spouse . My fortune is made.

Another quote is, “The fact is, television shows attempt to appeal to a wide range of audiences. But audiences aren’t likely to watch programs that praise racism, homophobia, and hating women, therefore aren’t likely to remain on the air long if they make it at all.” Heck, that’s what I thought, “Over the Hill”, was about - especially Hank’s Dad.

The latest flap in Looney-Land is the grave disrespect Obama has for the Resolute Desk . Despite photos of W and Ford with their feet up on the very same desk, conservatives are all aboil that some uppity Nee-gro would sully the desk with his feet.
The mind would boggle, but instead just sighs.

Faux News wants him impeached for this.
Wow, I never saw that website before. It looks like it’s good for hours of fun.
This article caught my eye. They have absolute proof, second hand from a “former senior military leader,” that Obama is quietly purging the military of senior officers who refuse to fire on American citizens.
As usual, the comments from the enraged patriots are priceless.

Georgia Governor Receives Kick-Backs For Obstructing Health Care Reform
http://www.addictinginfo.org/2013/09/04/the-real-deal-georgia-governor-receives-kick-backs-for-obstructing-health-care-reform/
snip A Political Action Committee known as Real PAC that has close connections to Georgia Governor Nathan Deal finally disclosed a financial report on the Friday before Labor Day (hoping no one would notice and the first such disclosure since 2011).
Gov. Deal’s family and business partner have been receiving payments from Real PAC that included contributions from, (that exceed the amount that can be given directly to Deal’s re-election campaign but not to a PAC) but not limited to, health insurance companies.
snip *
Real PAC has raised about $786,000 in contributions, according to the campaign finance report filed Friday. Over $500,000 have been from the healthcare industry which also oppose the ACA.
snip
All of the companies that pay into the PAC are doing business with the state of Georgia on some level.

Wow. That’s some powerful stupid. I find it soul crushingly depressing that there are that many people out there that will believe that crap.

I did a little Googling on the “2009 Nobel Peace Prize nominee Jim Garrow” and his Pink Pagoda (terrible name) organization, and he sounds like a real piece of work. At best, a con man and teller of tall tales; at worst, a trafficker of children.
“Peace Prize nominee” doesn’t mean squat. All kinds of people are “nominated”.

Actually, Nobel Peace Prize nominee does mean something. It’s just used incorrectly in describing Garrow, whose nomination is “secret ” and a lie.
