Legion, we are in agreement about conservatism not meaning stupidity. That being said I am a fiscal conservative, i.e. a classical liberal, not a social conservative. There really is almost no agreement any more on what it means to be conservative. Considering your “God bless America” comment earlier (like you were getting a stiffie just because of a big rocket) I suspect we come from different brands of conservatism.
BTW my grandfather was president of the NRA. Thought you might appreciate that. No, Charleton Heston was not my grandfather – my grandfather was president a while before him.
You probably never saw Jim Morris do his Reagan impersonation during the second term. Whole stand up routine was a press conference, with random questions from the audience. Uncanny.
Snark- I screech soprano but I have the costumes all designed (think steam punk meets dreamgirls)
Legion- the conservatives fight there all democrats are eveil and out to decimate this country on different turf, where it is sadly proving effective. While SNL make make comedy hash of conservatives- they actually go after the extremists. They go after liberals too. In fact they go after everybody. Conservatives use the huge ultraconservative press and media too- Fox News, Rush, Laura Ingraham (a dolt, sorry- but true), Ann Coulter, Glenn Beck, Pat (Gotta love Hitler) Robertson. There is no dearth of conservative media.
leschal,
I don’t necessarily disagree with you or bxgrl, that Palin is not fit for the highest office.
I do object to the pervasive tone in the major media and comedy shows and movies and chat rooms, that conservativism equals stupidity.
At the very least, we should start any thoughtful political discussion with the understanding that there are equally intelligent people on both sides of the political spectrum.
That being said, I think that classic Phil Hartman, Ronald Reagan skit is one of the funniest political skits ever. The one where Phil Hartman plays the doting elderly man for the children visiting the white house then quickly transforms into an evil mastermind with world maps and secret panels opening up spontaneously in the Oval Office, as he shouts his orders a mile a second.
Oh I can see those Montrose! – like the Carol Burnett’s dress from Gone with the Wind. You’ll have a tasteful, architecturally correct curtain rod through the shoulders? FYI- if you put those wooden carved columns down the front opening and dentil molding around the sleeves your choir will have trouble waving their arms in the air 😉

> They sure don’t write ’em like that anymore.
Yes, the Rhapsody was my Brownstoner high point. It’s all been a slow slide into the gutter from there. OK, maybe not so slow…
