So even smart guys like Conan can be republicans (as mysterious as that is to me...) and we can still be friends, and find a lot of common ground. (Except his use of the term "libtard" which is ridiculously juvenille...and sounds much more like Rush Limbaugh or that "pinhead" from Fox News than the thoughtful person I know Conan to be.)
I'm sure Conan's daughter appreciates all the "liberal" rights available to her like a free high school education, owning property, voting, attending college/graduate school, wearing slacks, playing sports, working in any profession she may choose, expecting the workplace to be free from sexual harrassment, being free to love whomever she wants, expecting basic environmental standards for clean air and water, and expecting a little help from social security and medicare for her loved ones who are elderly and might be in failing health. (Heck, she might even decide to run for president someday!)
I'll stand behind those libtard values any day.
Nice post. I appreciate the respect and it is reciprocated toward you.
I DO delineate between "liberals" and "libtards". "Libtards" make comments like: "Todd Palin is father to Bristol's baby..." "Gov. Palin 'bearded' her daughter's baby".
That's "libtard".
We do have "reptards" as well.
They are just not as common [

I'm actually pretty socially liberal, there's a few issues I'm more GOP on, fiscal conservatism used to be one of those issues, but I don't think anyone in DC understands that concept anymore, so scratch that off the list. When someone posted the scale some months back to determine where someone falls on the spectrum, I'm decidedly Libertarian. Unfortunately, that gives you nothing politically in Oklahoma.
