Two liberals walk into a bar. They're father and son. The TV has Fox News on, and one of the pundits says something ridiculous. The son bursts out laughing and falls off his barstool. The bartender asks the father, "Is he all right?" The father says, "Sorry about that. He always does that when a conservative says something that doesn't make any sense." The bartender asks the father, "What does he do when a conservative says something that DOES make sense?" The father says, "I don't know, he's only 25 years old."
In all fairness, it's the GOP that's gone all batsh*t crazy... A good number of the "conservatives" are fairly level headed....
You have a point. I used to enjoy reading columns by some conservatives, because they wrote well and showed some wit. Buckley, Safire, and a few who weren't named William. (But not William Kristol, who sullies the good name of Billy Crystal.) I have noticed that some of the more brazen people on the right no longer call themselves "conservative," the way they did in the heyday of Limbaugh and Gingrich. They now tend to call themselves "libertarian." Either way, they demand "limited government." We've tried that, many times, most recently in the 2000s, and it doesn't freakin' work. And that's no joke.
