People are free to apply whatever label they wish to themselves, but it's the meaning you pour into the label that really matters. Saying you're conservative could mean something as shallow as you're just a punk who likes to drive his souped up Honda Civic and doesn't want gas prices to rise, but you think that dope and pornography are cool. And you hate mean people. Whatever that means.

Take another word. 'Christian'. There are a lot of folks who say they're a Christian, but when push comes to shove they don't really like all the 'restrictions' imposed on man in the Bible.

The trouble is that we have a society filled with non-thinkers. Their first thought every day is how to fulfill their lusts. South Punk is just a symptom of the problem.

I was amused, but not surprised, to find that Hollywood director Oliver Stone is Matt Stone's uncle. I guess it sort of fits, I mean they both produce similar types of garbage.

Agreed. And it's a beautiful, innately satisfying thing to realize that technology has finally afforded us -- at long, wonderful last -- the ability to color code their more egregious, inherently anti-conservative sentiments appropriately.

The day conservatism in this country starts definining which adherents are the "truer" ones based upon which cartoons (if any) they most prefer: we'll know the movement has finally surrendered any viable claims of intellectual validity... or even simple coherence. Thankfully, however: that day seems far off, and more comfortingly distant with each passing day.

I'm always extra wary of people who express this attitude (that of a repressed, self-righteous prick). It's often a facade for somebody who bears ugly, abnormal sexual appetites. I'd hate to see what you have to hide, O.C.
