South Park Republicans

I disagree with the term, "South Park Republicans," no matter how popular it is here...

I think that the mindset exspoused is closer to "Jeffersonian Liberal" or possibly a "small 'l' libertarian."

And by the way... The episode with the "underpants gnomes" criticized those who have a knee-jerk reaction to big corporations, but at the same time, it was highly critical of those blindly chasing "profit." I guess the author forgot that the "underpants gnomes" couldn't remember all of the steps they needed to get to "profit."

The funny thing about South Park is that it often criticizes both sides of an issue, but the supporters of one of those sides often don't notice, or at least ignore, the criticism of their views. Then again, sometimes the do criticize only one side (like in the NAMBLA episode.)

Then again, some of their episodes are just to see how close to the line of "really, REALLY bad taste" they can get, then take 3 steps back, to get a running start to vault across that line! The Mr Hanky episodes, along with "Scott Tenneman Must Die," "Red Sleigh Down," and "Woodland Critter Cristmas" episodes come to mind there...

Whitman is barely Republican.

Well, that's the MSM's favorite kind of Republican!

RINOs that don't "blindly follow the party line." They're labled "mavericks," like McCain... Of course, if a dem doesn't follow the party line, the MSM will ignore them, or if they can't be ignored, say terrible things about them, as they did with Zell Miller!

At 18, I THOUGHT I knew who I was, since then, I have learned a LOT about how much I didn't know! Take your time. To make a mistake young only means that you have a LOT longer to live with that mistake!

At 18, I was amazed at how little my parents knew... At 30, I was amazed at just how much my parents had learned in only 12 years!

And what ever you do, NEVER use Worchestershire sauce as embalming fluid!

She's a vegetarian, too. Well, she says she is, but she eats chicken. Can't explain that one.

Well, if she eats eggs, then what's wrong with chicken?

Hey, you know, I could be a vegitarian too... When I eat a steak, I'm actually eating "processed grains and grass!" VEGGIES!!!! Yum! I'll have mine medium rare!

Thanks for the ping.

I too am a proud SPR. And the biggest South Park fan out there!

***Hey, this article pretty much describes me! :) And I have never even watched South Park.***

You should start! Better late than never!

I'm a South Park Tory.

The episode with the most shock-value (until last night's episode!) was Scott Tenorman Must Die. That was AWESOME.

[hosepipe]

Republicans are one thing...
RINOS are another thing entirely...

Now that's just cruel. Oh, the humanity...


Is that a television with a genuine analog tuner on the left side of that picture? The whole scene is a bad B-movie prop.

May I give you a little advice, from someone who has BEEN THERE, DONE THAT(thought I could change a liberal woman, only to be hurt severly by her). FORGET IT. If you have that much that is diametrically opposed between the two of you, you are BEGGING for a world of hurt!! In my case,I thought a liberal,new age, pro gay, pro abortion woman I cared about(foolishly), would change,for me. And, to get what she wanted(another man), she ACTED like she would. BUT-- as soon as this was accomplished-- I was a pariah to her. I overheard her talking one day, that me and her were too different, and she would not change for me, and she knew I would not change for her. Once she found out that I was pro-life, pro-family, Christian-- that was ALL SHE WROTE. I ended up with deep emotional scars, from that experience. DONT , repeat, DON'T repat my mistakes, unless you desire to go through some really harsh treatment, over your beliefs and morals.

BTW--- I consider myself to be a "Clancy" conservative, NOT, a SPR. I do NOT watch South Park.

Hey, be nice to Helen Thomas. She and Robert Byrd are all that we have left from the Pleistocene age.

Democrats label them Oreos because they are panicked that blacks actually have the nerve to leave the liberal plantation after 50 years of loyal servitude.

BUMP

[LauraleeBraswell]

The definition this article sets foward as a SP republican is ridiculouse. I don't think your role model is Christi Whitman right! hah (lord I hope not)

But to say that South Park Republicans are people who well basically can go out and have a good time, well conservative Republicans do that too. I can do that too. I consider myself a Conservative, I drink, smoke way too many cigarettes, watch rated R movies. By that general definition Bush was a South Park Republican in his party days I suppose.

Run, Run NOW.

All South Park Republicans are, are young Republicans who have yet to settle down.

I'll chime in with my 2 cents worth and agree completely with Finny.

I'm a female and heartily agree with the majority of the opinions you've received from both males and females. Don't expect your gf to change. It's possible but not necessarily fair to expect. Picture yourself living with her current attitudes and opinions for the next 40 years. Ready to beat your head off a brick wall yet?

Your new friend may not be exactly who you are looking for either. Not sure if the "no kids" thing bothers you. I've seen that attitude change with age more than once. But she does have appeared to have opened your eyes to the fact that there are more compatible women out there.

Hmm. Well, that first night we really talked (the new girl), every other thing she said I was like "wow...me too." At first, I had no clue she was a Republican and figured she was a lib. Then found we have the same sick, South-Parkish sense of humor. Then out of the blue she says "well, it's hard to talk to some people because I am such a Republican." Mind you we hadn't talked politics at all at that point. Whatever it is, she was intriguing.
