56

The president should listen to everyone exceptimg those "hate filled" atheists, of course.

Keep up the good fight, Ken!

30

Oh noes! Bill Clinton watched the "un-American" High Noon 20 timesimg!! Of course, no mention from the same source that Ike watched it thrice and was "riveted". Oh and Andy, besides Clinton-bashing, why keep an "un-American" movie in the "Greatest Conservative Movies" list?

"There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always— do not forget this, Winston— always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever.img" says JacobB. Of course, the caveat applies: "If the universe lasts that long!"img

56

DouglasA and Uncle Ed engage in some self-congratulatory banterimg as they show off their Shakespearean erudition about the phrase "methinks the lady doth protest too much" from Macbeth. Which is to say, Hamlet.

Conservative makes 10 edits to trash talk Obama for not firing Harry Knox, a member of the administration's coalition for faith-based initiatives. Knox is known for having a tolerant, rational view of equality regardless of sex or sexual orientation, and he recently came under fire for speaking out against Emperor Palpatine. Ten edits and the result is a redundant tirade riddled with grammar errors. What more is needed to "insure"img (sic) the perception of CP as the lunatic fringe? Update: CP sysops prefer to leave their grammar in its errant state after a liberal user kindly points out the typo.

Karajou makes yet more comedy goldimg in this weak week's toon.

Conservapedia for Dummies Chapter Three: How to Adjust the Truth. User: "Conservative bias exists. Can we make one 'political' bias page?"img JacobB: "That's silly. Liberal bias is a serious problem.

Objectively, liberals are the worst liars."img TeaKakkke: "I'll delete conservative bias because a dirty liberal made the article."img Lies,img and bullying.img

Gambling: Highly addictive and can threaten the addict's capacity for a normal, healthy life.img Except, that is, when Obama advises people not to "blow a bunch of cash in Las Vegas," at which point it of course becomes every red-blooded right-winger's duty to do just that.img

31

Criticizing a Democratic idea with politically-incorrect language: Perfectly fine for Republicans, but a big no-no for Democrats.img

User: "Jesus performing a miracle healing seems to violate the second law of thermodynamics."img Andy: "Do you believe eating an apple to feel better, or taking an aspirin to alleviate a headache, also violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics?"img

67

Eek! President Obama's hatching another commie plot to turn the public schools into his own personal breeding ground for a private army of left-wing Alinsky socialist schoolchildren! (Of course, a Hitler Youth poster is a perfect illustration for this shocking piece of news.img)
