Conservatives Say the Stupidest Darnedest Things
I’ve blogged before, at length, about the increasingly difficult plight of the online snark merchant. Simply put, it’s getting harder and harder to lampoon the words and deeds of American conservatives, because no matter how outrageous, wacky, and over-the-top you try to be, you simply can’t make up anything crazier than the things actual conservatives say all the time, on purpose, and in complete seriousness.
For instance, this lunacy:
One reason [American Enterprise Institute] stands as the capital’s premier research organization is that it alone would think to assemble a quartet of intelligent and accomplished people to debate the implications of Darwinism for political thought and public policy. Specifically, the panel’s title was “Darwinism and Conservatism: Friends or Foes?”
Yes, that’s right. Conservatives, the very same people who spend their time insisting that the Earth is 6,000 years old, that we’re all screwed from birth because a teenage girl ate an apple and boinked a snake, and that schools shouldn’t teach scientific fact because it happens to conflict with some stuff written 3,000 years ago by guys living in a desert on the other side of the world, want to know how Darwinism can validate the flat tax.
THE STUPID…IT BURNS US!
Anyhoo, the writers and commenters over at Sadly, No! have already done us the favor taking this line of thinking apart, dismembering it, dousing its remains in gasoline, setting it on fire, and peeing on it for good measure (and in hilarious fashion, to boot.) So why should I rehash it? Just head on over and join in the chortling.
