Daily Roundup: Conservatives are just adorable!

Just because we disagree with conservatives doesn’t mean we dislike them. Nothing could be further from the truth! Right-wingers are absolutely charming — like “Anne of Green Gables” or Michael Bublé, you just want to pinch their cute little cheeks! But why are they so adorable?

— they believe that Sarah Palin wrote a 400-page book in just four months. That’s so cute!

— They admit that opposing gay marriage is “a losing argument” but fight tooth-and-nail anyway — they’re the Toronto Maple Leafs of bigotry!

— they’re natural prop comics:

— they harken back to a simpler time, like when they declare that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote

— they share the same beliefs as moronic TV sitcom characters. Fun!

— they insist that the Bible is the unchanging Word of God…then scamper off and rewrite it!

— they arrest people in their own homes (oh wait…that’s deplorable…never mind):

 

— they name their new righter-than-right Alberta party “Wildrose.” So pretty!

— like the cutest, slowest of tots, conservatives in the US Congress need their own Constitution explained to them:

— they try to scare people with tales of “the final assault on our families and American culture by the homosexuals.” That’s adorable in itself…but then they beg for money!

— and finally, they’re just keep getting proven wrong. Again and again and again!
