And conservatives wonder why they have problems! Just when we start gaining ground some holier-than-thou type tries to divide the group.
Now here's someone who gets it. The Republican Party wants to project that they are a big tent party welcoming anybody that agrees with some of the party platform. What I've noticed, all too often, is that the older generation is less accepting of the younger generation.
As a college student who attends county Republican meetings often, I've noticed that the old Elephants are reluctant in accepting the fresh new ideas that we 'young uns' bring to the party. If the party wants to move forward, the older generation needs to accept the younger generation, regardless of how 'radical' we may be. Our generation isn't going to reflect June Cleaver values. We can take a joke and appreciate the context that it was told in.
In regards to Michelle Malkin referring to one of the jokes Mrs. Bush said as horse masturbation, that is off base and ignorant. As so many have clearly explained, it's poking fun at the city slicker who doesn't know the difference between cow and horse, male and female. Apparently it's Michelle's and all these liberal turned moralty polices perogative to shape it as a masturbation joke in order to make a far-fetched argument that Mrs. Bush is classless and tasteless and vulgar.
And you haven't?
It's an occupational symptom, I guess. :)
I have, in the past, agreed with many of Malkin's columns. Not this time.
But reasonable people should be able to disagree, so I'm not going to stomp off in a huff and say I'll never read her columns again.
Of course, anyone who disagrees with anything that anyone attached to the administration does is obviously a DNC plant. Your tinfoil hat seems to be firmly in place, but I would still be worried about those black helicopters if I were you.
Please show me during this debate where I have called into question someone's intelligence, or called them depraved or sick.

Wow; I am duly impressed with your seemingly endless supply of boilerplate.
I absolutely agree and have stated this many times myself. It is so immature and gets on my nerves, BIGTIME!
I neither want to be weird or cool. I want to be me.

Here is my own "not even the same species" picture
~~sigh~~ But he's lonely, and she's VERY pretty. ;)
The dr. told me to drink that. Have you tried the Light Cranberry juice? I like the Cranapple. It is pretty good.
Umbrella 'too?
Well Shakespeare was just pop-culture.
As Americans, we really didn't get the current stick up our collective butts until the Victorian era.
The misnomered "Victorian era" began in America before Victoria was born, and remained long after she died.
(I think it was the early 1830s when Louisa M Alcott's father changed his name from Alcock)
I love your huge aviary. I've often pondered getting birds again myself, if I could build a large airy enclosure like that.
Amen!!!!!
Moluccan,
Think the color of Peach sherbet with a Tangerine colored crest.
Of course my boy was in love when he laid eyes on her ;)
But, he's now very jealous and bites the bejeezus out of me when I get between him and her.
You get the idea, though.
Victoria was the one who really made prudery a fashion-statement.
Those are BEAUTIFUL birds!
