“Sharon Soon”? Is that a stage name, or a timeline of when I can expect her for my table dance?
jenniebee
I liked the one who complained about how selfish and materialistic those bleeding-heart liberal men are.
So many narratives, so little minds.

Holy skank Batman!
Gotta love the fact that the female half of the fRightWing don’t like guys who are cocky and talk too much. This greatly decreases the chances they’ll breed.
ThymeZone
I am way past finding this sort of thing shocking, I have relatives who talk exactly this way.
What troubles me is that we have to share a country with people like this. With people who think the earth is 6000 years old, and then talk disparagingly about what other people think or believe.
These people are literally intellectual cripples, which is in itself just sad, but what’s scary is that they think being crippled is superior. And we have seen what happens when we let them try to run the country.
If anyone never needed to understand why there is spoof, and why we win when the line between spoof and right wing politics is blurred, you need look no further than the linked article here.
Oh.My.Fucking.God.

I D0N’T LIKE TO DATE LIBRULZ BECAUSE THEY ARE TEH ST00PID AND ARE D00DIE HEDZ
Cain
Er.. I found it wierd that they think that liberal men don’t open doors or pay for their date or what not. I’m sure they are lying. Whether you’re a conservative or a liberal you’re going to do your best to make the best impression to a women you’re interested in. Unless of course, you’re a complete punk.
For the record, I open doors for everyone regardless of class, creed, and color. heh.

Like, OMFG. They’re, like, you know, I don’t know, like…wow…I mean, you know? Do I really need to *say* it?
b. hussein canuckistani
They are teh hawt, but I’m intimidated by them cuz they are smrt and I am a liberal man of little brain.
demimondian
Um, cain. Hint. “Women” is the plural form.
The females in whom I’ve been interested — admittedly, given my long-term monogamous status, a rather out of date collection, I’m sure — prefer not to be shared. I’ve never done the experiment, at least not at first hand, but I’ve *heard* that this whole “two-timing” business is generally received with a certain amount of disapprobation by a putative love-interest.
Just sayin’
Halteclere
I wonder if these “liberal” men that the women dated claimed to be liberal, or (more likely) were just assigned to the category “liberal” when the men didn’t act the way the women thought they should.
Jen
I think the attentions of conservative blog-reading men is an appropriate punishment for being a conservative female blogger.
Back to the open thread thing, I really wish Davidson had won, and on the .05% chance any Davidson fans are here, I’m really sorry.
To continue the openness, the Bush administration is evidently proposing a massive financial systems overhaul. Without any investigation whatsoever into what this is, two thoughts. 1. I thought it wasn’t brokee…? and 2. No matter how bad it is, let’s just please wait until the Obama administration. I am sure I have enough canned goods to last me several months and I can hunt, fish, and trap the rest. There are a lot of squirrels around here. So let’s just hold steady. Or, you could try to work for this guy.

You know, good young conservative women such as these are like anyone else. They need a little help in the dating world. Since right-wing politics are so important to them, I think they should try these places:
One

So there are two girls on that site I’d qualify as “hot” and I’m betting at least one of them is a hyper-mega-bitch from hell.
LULZ! She wants tickets to the gun show.
Krista
Grrr…man, you have NO idea how much that burns my ass. So if you don’t believe in some invisible deity in the sky, you don’t have any morals, according to this one.
Guess what, you stupid, stupid woman? Your morals are in place because you fear punishment and anticipate some sort of afterlife reward. My morals are in place because I want to be a good person, for its own sake. It’s called a conscience — look into it.
She may be devout, but she’s rather judgemental for a professed Christian. And she’s lucky she’s not saying that within my earshot, because it would take every moral fibre of my being to not give her a swift kick in the box.
Notorious P.A.T.
Yet more evidence that the divide in this country is not political, but religious.
But we’re not allowed to say that, because religion is considered inherently good.

The main thing I got from it and their “ideas” about liberal men was that it is safe to say, Liberals don’t like ugly women.

Also, can I get an amen for North Carolina, thank you, thank you very much. Did you know we were rewarded with extra delegates for not moving our primary forward? That, Florida, is how you work de system.

This Newsweek op-ed by Karl Rove on the Dem convention is actually an interesting read, if only because it reveals just how truly Machiavellian his mind is.

In the article about female right-wing bloggers and their dating habits, the word “liberal” is mentioned 23 times (the word “conservative” is only mentioned 20 times).
This must be very comforting to conservative men. There’s no way I’d be worried if my girlfriend told me 23 times in a day how much she does not like muscular black guys. No sireee!
Looks to me like all the liberals in town already had romps with these girls, but these gals have not been with enough conservative guys to figure out that all of us men are assholes, regardless of party affiliation.

Wow… I’m about to crack from holding in laughter during class, where I’m reading this.
Ah well, there goes my hope for conservatives dying out sometime soon… they’re starting to breed :(

I see where they get the notion that liberal men are assholes.. any woman I dated who came out with this might get the door in the face treatment too.
ThymeZone
True, true. But at least we are not STUPID assholes.
Jay B.
it’s all about what you can do for yourself and how you can be happy…
That first part is tattooed on your ass when you become a Republican. The second is straight out of the Declaration of Independence. I’m a fan of the latter. More importantly, I like how self-interest and joy are apparently anti-religious. Why, again, do people go to church?
and you don’t have any belief in absolute truth or religious principles to guide how you live.
I’ll have to agree with that one. Today, like most days, I woke up, punched a cat, put toast on my feet, drove into a line of kids on a crosswalk and then polished the golden calf that hangs from my rear view mirror, before threatening an old lady, stealing some candy from a child and screaming at my co-workers.
Blue Raven
Being a polytheist myself, this sort would accuse me of the same thing despite the fact I have an entire freaking committee to deal with instead of a single entity. But then, I don’t think I’ll be doomed to eternal torture in the afterlife if I don’t toe the line, so clearly I’m just as selfish and stupid as an atheist. Pay no attention to the virtues described in the mythology! None of them existed before the Christians invented them (ok, ok, the Jews had them, but they’re imperfect Christians, so says Ann Coulter).
slag
Can I just say that their materialism and vapid selfishness is possibly the biggest reason I dislike conservatives, in general. I guess it’s all who you know.
The Other Steve
you know, reading through these we should have are own thread about dating tips.
My first tip. Be wary of dates who go to the restroom after eating more food than the reigning champion of the international hot dog competition.
Brachiator
On my worst days, it sometimes troubles me that I have to share a country with anyone who does not think exactly like I do.
On the other hand, in the days of my desolate youth, the last thing I cared about was a woman’s ideology.
Meanwhile, in another corner of the forest, while getting ready this morning, I listened to a snippet of Rush Limbaugh’s Morning update, prattling on about how great the economy is doing, thanks to the Bush Administration fending off all those evil libruls. And then I see these two stories on teh Internets:
As Jobs Vanish and Prices Rise, Food Stamp Use Nears Record
And from the Beltway, land of milk and cronies,HUD chief quitting, cites family reasons
I guess it is a cheer for diversity that Dubya’s cronyism is color blind.

The Other Steve

The Other Andrew
I’m amazed that they can make claims about “absolute truth” while simultaneously denying evolution and climate change, performing semantics-gymnastics about Iraq, and proudly putting agenda above reality whenever they can. If someone spontaneously combusts from cognitive dissonance, is it still spontaneous?

Wait a second. I though that my private property was a good thing. So good, it’s, well sacred. I have the right to defend myself. Second amendment and all that. it’s my right. And that is a good thing.
My right to advance my own lot in life by working hard to acquire wealth and enjoy the fruits of my labors is a good thing. And my right to make a killing in the stock market and not have to pay capital gains tax — well, sure, you might call that materialistic, but it’s a conservative materialistic viewpoint, and therefore, it’s good.
I stand strong for conservative values!
Further, I hate it when those gosh-darn libruls say that the government has a right to take my hard earned money and redistribute it to others who aren’t, you know, deserving. It’s my material wealth that the government is stealing, I tell you — stealing! It’s my private property, I tell you! And private property is sacred! Sacred!

“… and they have all dated a lot.” No kidding. Serially single, looking for the perfect conservative man. And they don’t like ’em too sissy and they don’t like ’em to macho–paging Larry Craig, Mark Foley, Gannon/Guckert, Rush Limbaugh*, Roy Cohn, David Drier …
Yes, I think these women are looking to be the ultimate fag hag. Nothing wrong with that, just be clear on your objectives ladies.

Good gravy, Sharon Soon’s jumper cable saga is the worst story of all time. Sharon, dear, when you tell that story to someone, the look you see on his or her face is called agony. People often look interested when they’re in physical pain.

binzinerator
Jebus H., this is a modern conservative worldview, not a liberal one.
The projection here is total.
None of the movement conservatives believe in any absolute truth or religious principles, other than doing whatever the fuck they want and whatever the fuck it takes to stay in power. Religious principles are adhered to only when they can be used to further that goal.
We’ve seen this incredible moral hypocrisy demonstrated over and over again by these people. Just look at their putative leader of this movement, the Born Again and self-described Man of Faith and Compassionate Conservative George W. Bush. Here is a man who insists on the sanctity of life found in a petri dish of stem cells while repeatedly lying to start a war that has killed hundreds of thousands of real human beings, among them tens of thousands of children. Here is a man who claims “we don’t torture”, even though he was responsible for the promulglation of state-sponsored torture. Here is a man who belligerently insists on more and more privacy for what he does as a public servant while eliminating the privacy of private citizens in this country. Here is a man who claims your rights as a citizen are safe while reserving for himself the power to decide which citizens may retain those rights. Here is the man who has called on the young men and women of this nation to leave their families and go enlist and fight in his war, and yet who sought to avoid and successfully avoided fighting in the war of his time. Here is a man who insists that those in the guard and the reserves and elsewhere honor their obligations even as he repeatedly changed the terms to prevent their coming home when their time was done, and yet who had disappeared from his own unit rather than honor his own safe and minimal military obligation.
Every principle of conservatism, of patriotism, of democracy, of christianity has been twisted and turned inside-out by these fake christian greedy little fucks.
For people who have demonstrated over and over again their own moral relativity, that their guiding principle is the ends justifies the means, it’s stunning how they simultaneously believe they have a moral superiority.
But then again, they’re Conservatives. Their capacity for hypocrisy and their inability for introspection, empathy, and self-awareness is legendary.
“Fuck you I’ve got mine” is the watchword of conservatism. That is their real guide on how to live.
John Cole

Krista
Good catch, John. That IS creepy as hell, isn’t it? Evidently she has a thing for false imprisonment. No wonder she didn’t like liberal guys — they’re sort of against that kind of thing.

I’m not going to make a joke about Double Gitmo.
In fact, the knowledge that these young ladies could easily grow up to be Pam Atlas/Debbie Schussel clones makes me feel a little guilty for laughing at the way they dress and pose like something out of Girls Gone Wild and whitter about the importance of morals and their heads don’t explode from the cognitive dissonace.
Jennifer
Maybe we should direct the ladies’ attention to Todd Seavey’s personal ad.

And she was two-minutes walk from her house. I dunno.
petereugene
Think someone should tell Ms. Soon and her equally knuckleheaded boyfriend that the trunk of the car is a mighty fine place to store the jumper cables?
In the house? Both of them? WTF?
Or is it just too much fun watching them fight about whose house to go to to get the cables?
The Humanist
To recap the incredible true saga of survival against all odds by Ms. Sharon Soon:
1) She turns her car off, but doesn’t notice the bright headlights are still on. Well, she did have a lengthy fight with the boyfriend to launch into!
2) She is stuck with her dead-battery car a full three houses….ONE SUBURBAN BLOCK from the sweet embrace of home (which is apparently guarded by Piper Laurie from the movie Carrie)
3) With absolutely no chance to walk the block to her house and get jumper cables, the young lovers are forced to make a crucial decision….take the one working car that they have and drive a 1/2 hour to the boyfriend’s pad!
4) To add to the mountain of obstacles Sharon faced, the villains at AAA hung up on her. I probably would have too if this was the story she was peddling.
5) After enduring a cavalcade of miseries (including sleeping in a car because walking a block back to her home was out of the question), her car miraculously comes back to life…and is able to complete the arduous one-block journey back to home and hearth.

OK. Either this is some well crafted spoof or it’s all elaborate fRightWing code for “After our argument my boyfriend and I had hot ‘everything except officially violate our chastity vows’ make up sex and fell asleep. Call me!”
Nom de Pole aside, no red blooded neoconservette would object to a mom keeping an eye on her darling daughter. And if mom were that concerned, she would have noticed that DD didn’t show up until near dawn.
Mom would also have be stone blind if she didn’t notice a car three houses away that sat there long enough for the lights to drain the batteries and call the cops to report lurking terrists.

The comments are just a gold mine:
That’s just so bugfuck crazy, it can’t be deconstructed, it just has to be hung there and contemplated. It’s the Warhol’s Soup Can of conservative idiocy.
If this is true, then it’s time for a language re-alignment. Liberals will have to be renamed “Liberal Conservatives” and the people we now call conservatives can be… I dunno… the Counter-Revolutionary Front?

Am I the only one who think the entire story reeks of the “I didnt want my overly protective parents to suspect I was 3 houses down getting fucked in a car like a 2-dollar whore. I spent my youth rebelling against them by fucking everyone who had a cock and paid me any attention, but now that I’m a conservative and expected to uphold morality, I will just leave all the sex details out and hope my story still makes sense.

Half of me wants to barf at the thought of seeing James Carville naked. The other half is nauseous at the thought of seeing Mary Matalin naked. If the two halves ever manage to establish communications, I’m in trouble, I think.
Seriously, I wish I had the gonads to actually decorate a room that way. I think I have the good sense not to do it, but I wish I had the out and out chutzpah to actually be really in-your-face enough to inflict that level of PINK…in mean PINKPINKPINKSHOCKINGPINK…on people…and then make them sit in it. It has a certain aggressive charm, you know?
jake
Someone needs to test the water for LSD chez Carville/Maitlin, STAT.
When you realize that’s their dining room “aggressive charm” becomes “Sadism with no safe word.”
I bet Maitlin ties people to the chairs (with pink silk ropes) and force feeds them pink food. “Would you likes some more LOBSTER NEWBURG? How about some PINK GRAPEFRUIT? Mwhahahaha!”
And then Carville comes in. Wearing a pink tutu.
And the victim is too full to scream.
