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.

I wouldn't neccessarily say that it is older Conservatives who are unaccepting..Some of our older FReepers can get QUITE rowdy.
There are some younger ones here who have a severe "holier-than-thou" problem.
I gotta think it's Convert Syndrome
I think part of Michelle's problem is she is a young mother.
Most Mom's have a stage where they are hypersensitive about
words and images marking their precious babies for life.
