South Park Rising

Excellent article. One of the best I've read in awhile. I'm 18 and this basically describes me and all of my Republican friends, even here in this very conservative suburb of Dallas. The South Park Republican is a group that's probably always been around, but seems to be emerging a lot more as of late. Although it's doubtful that South Park itself is the cause, having a major pop culture item that we South Park Republicans can identify with (while having many laughs over) greatly helps.

[Martin Tell]

P. J. O'Rourke called this group, "Republican Party Reptiles" and "Ike with a mohawk."

[Jonah Hex]

Cartman on helping the homeless on Thanksgiving: "...isn't it enough I pay taxes?!?!"

Actually, that's almost word for word a Scrooge quote from A Christmas Carol.

Cartman saying it did crack me up, however!

:-)

[philman_36]

See how silly that line of thinking looks?
Then why are you thinking like that?

[walkingdead]

Yea, I'm probably a bigger Simpsons fan than South Park, but I tell you what, Cartman makes South Park a strong number two. I don't think anyone will be able to top Homer though. dooohhhhh!

These are argueably two of the greatest minds to ever walk the face of the planet.

Tony Orlando still has you beat with his remark about Bob Hope: "If you could take all the laughter this man has given us, it would reach to the universe and fill up the black hole in space."

But you're close.

[Phantom Lord]

Religion requires you to supress your intellect.
Since when?

Your kidding right? Ever heard of Galileo? The list is long.

"Simpsons did it! Simpsons did it!"

[Mr. Bird]

Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe-a spirit vastly superior to that of man.... In this way the pursuit of science leads to a religious feeling of a special sort, which is indeed quite different from the religiosity of someone more naive.

--Albert Einstein

Oh, what he may have accomplished had he not suppressed his intellect with such spiritual feelings!

Episode alert!!

For all LOTR and South Park fans, this week's new episode is a must see. If you were not able to watch it Wednesday night, make sure you see it over the weekend. You gotta love Cartman, but this episode has the perfect part for Butters.... "My precious."

I agree with most of what he says, but the following statement strikes out completely with this SPR:

They enjoy the non-Christian mysticism of Star Wars, the acrobatic violence of Jackie Chan, and the comedic vulgarity of Chris Tucker.

Give me the non-Christian mysticism of the NFL, the acrobatic violence professional bull riding, and the comedic vulgarity of Howard Stern.

But taste, or lack of, is an individual thing.

Pretty much since God said man was made from a grain of dirt...
You got one wrong.
Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
...woman made from one of Adams ribs...
Gen 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
And one right.

...not to mention no loving God would put Democrats on his Earth...
He simply put people on the Earth. What they become is up to them. Don't blame Him for a person's choice in becoming Democrats.

This has to be the first "South Park" thread that's in imminent danger of being sent to the religion forum. Go figure...

[philman_36]

Your kidding right?
No, I'm not a kidder in general, but you're (a contraction of you are) obviously a poor speller.
Ever heard of Galileo?
Yes, I've heard of Galileo. What about him?

[walkingdead]

really sorry about the HUGE mistake of mine. Imagine me saying dirt instead of dust from the ground. And the democrat thing was a joke, thus the teeheehee.

Remember I'm just as free not to believe as you are to believe. And I do respect your belief, I just see it a different way.

[fporretto]

From fissionproducts: I am certainly not a religous person. Religion requires you to supress your intellect.

From Hillary's Lovely Legs: Yes, Matt and Trey have said repeatedly that they are Republicans, but for some weird reason the losertarians always claim them as their own.

I am the holder of doctorates in astrophysics and economics, a senior software engineer in the aerospace field, a religious Catholic, and a libertarian. I'm not a partisan Republican, but when I vote, it's usually for a Republican candidate. I express my opinions in the open and under my right name, so that everyone who hears them will be able to associate them with everything else that's public about me. I defend them with factual evidence and logic, and I admit when I've been proved wrong.

Now, what were you gentlemen saying about my intellect and my political principles? And from behind pseudonyms, no less?
