Living in Fear

I've often thought about how stressful it would be to be a conservative in this country. Living in fear of everything takes a lot of energy! Chris Bowers sums it up perfectly:

It must be really scary to be a conservative. To be one, you must live in constant fear of terrorists nuking the United States, of gay people on the verge of convincing you that you really enjoy sodomy, of Spanish becoming the official language of the United States next week, of every African-American voting seven or eight times in the next election, of radical Islam suddenly becoming the latest hip thing among kids across the country, of perpetual lesbian orgies in girls bathrooms in high schools across America, of liberals forcing everyone to become a vegan, of Christians being rounded up into concentration camps, and of Democrats outlawing private property if they were to ever take power again.

I couldn't have said it better. No wonder Republicans have 3 times as many nightmares as Democrats. Being socially conservative takes quite a toll on your mental health!

McCain to Veto Beer

Uh oh. With this proclamation, ol' John McMaverick might lose a few of the gun-totin' conservatives he's courting:

In a slip of the tongue while railing against excessive earmarks at the National Small Business Summit in Washington, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee inadvertently pledged to veto the popular alcoholic beverage.

I will use the veto as needed. I will veto every single beer — bill with earmarks," he said, as rumblings from the crowd could be heard. "And every single bill that we have come across my desk I will make them famous. I will veto them, you will know their names."

Personally, I would really miss beer if it was vetoed. Let's not elect this man.
