Besides, everyone knows that all Conservatives are total whack jobs that see Communists behind every tree, run guns for a living, sleep with a .45 under their pillows, abuse their wives, and kick puppies for fun. At least, everyone that this "journalist" knows, knows that. :-)
While I concur with your sentiment and got a chuckle out of it I often feel as a law enforcement officer that I am an endangered animal on this board.
I am conservative but there are many freepers who seem to view me as the enemy. You can read almost any thread regarding drugs or firearms on this board and find plenty of statements that fit right into the stereotype you correctly suggested.
