You may be asking yourself, “What do liberals want? What do they yearn for?” Well thank G-d you are reading this cause I’m going to tell you! They want it all. All of it! You might now be asking, “What’s it?” well if you would just calm down a second, I’ll tell you. It is everything. If it’s something, they want it all. If it speaks, they wanna tell it what to say. If it has an odor, they want it to smell of liberalism. This smells just like B.O. and salmonella. And if you think salmonella doesn’t have a smell, then you are a buffoon!
But in all seriousness, the liberals/statists can never have enough. EVER!
Just look at how they complain about Fox news and Conservative talk radio. Before Fox News came about, every Mainstream Media (MSM) network was run by statists and leaned to their agenda. They loved them some Clinton, they hated them some Bush and now they love them some Obama. And now there are even more. We are talking CNN, NBC, MSNBC, CBS, PBS and ABC. And it’s not just limited to Television either. Look at the print media as well; we are talking The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, USA Today, Newsweek, Time, and Rolling Stone. Just to name a few.
"Talk about me now please! MEEEEE!!!!!!"
But Conservatives get one news channel that has several Right leaning opinion shows and that’s a problem? So what?! Can’t we have one friggin channel to call our own? No, that is too much to ask. The liberals want it all. But they can’t even swallow their pride and admit that these stations don’t just lean left, they law down left. For the most part, conservatives don’t mind admitting that Fox news leans right at times and so what? Who cares? The statists have the rest of the MSM and we get one and that’s too much? Of course it is because the statists want it all. They also hate the FACT that Fox news consistently dominates the ratings. Check it out folks:
Fox News averaged 2.25 million total viewers in prime time for the third quarter, up 2% over the previous year. That’s more than CNN (946,000, down 30%) and MSNBC (788,000, down 10%) combined.
The O’Reilly Factor” led all cable news programs with an average of 3.295 million total viewers for the quarter, up 12% over the previous year. “Hannity” (2.603 million, up 9%), “Glenn Beck” (2.403 million, up 89%), “On the Record with Greta van Susteren” (2.150 million, up 16%), and “Special Report with Bret Baier” (1.997 million, up 20%) rounded out the top five. “ –Huffington Post online
"3 new york times best sellers in 1 year and 89% growth in ratings after all this succes, I'm still Uncle Von's biggest fan"
The first 10 spots, as far as ratings are concerned, are all Fox News channel shows. In fact, The O’Reilly Factor, when shown as a repeat ranks higher than Olbermann, Maddow, Nancy Grace, Anderson Cooper, Lou Dobbs and Chris Matthews. Also, Fox News Channel’s show Red Eye (which I am a huge fan of) does just .2 less than Olbermann and is shown at 2 am. Olbermann’s show is in prime time!
The Statists are afraid of Fox News. Frightened I say! Because regular people are sick of the liberal spin. They go to Fox News to get the truth. They get more truth in Fox News opinion shows than they do any of CNN’s or MSNBC’s.
I digress.
Let’s look at the leaning of talk radio. Conservatives like Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage and Beck dominate the talk radio market. And that too is a fact. Limbaugh, Hannity and Savage regularly take the top three slots in ratings, in that order. So now you are asking “But why uncle? Why aren’t there more liberal radio talk show hosts?” Well I will answer those questions and it’s really rather simple.
Because no one wants to listen to that crap. It’s true, liberal talk-radio doesn’t thrive or exist in the magnitude that Conservative talk radio does because no one wants to hear it. Let’s be honest, if there was a craving, a need and demand for liberal talk radio, they would certainly be more prevalent. But liberal talk radio blows and we all know it. Bill Schulz from Red Eye has his own theory; he says Conservative talk radio is popular because Conservatives like to listen to it at work, whereas liberals don’t have jobs so they don’t listen to the radio. This could very well be true but it’s also true that liberal talk radio is garbled crap and doesn’t survive because no one cares for it.
The saddest part about this all is, the statists are so transparent in there double standards. They could bash G-Dub all day long but when someone see’s Obama for what he is, then proceeds to speak their mind, they are racists. For 8 years the liberal media and the soul-less, cowards in congress bashed our President, but we bash a socialist such as Obama and all of a sudden, we are racist and counterproductive. Liberals can protest and exercise free speech all they want, but when Conservative’s finally get off their butts and protest in the form of tea-parties, liberals react in a negative way. White house Adviser David Axelrod said the Tea Party movement is an “unhealthy” reaction to the nation’s current economic climate. Actress/Comedian (if you can call her that) Janeane “the best movie I was in was Mystery Men” Garofalo had this to say:
Let’s be very honest about what this is about,” she said on Keith Olbermann’s crap-tastic show. “It’s not about bashing Democrats. It’s not about taxes. They have no idea what the Boston Tea Party was about. They don’t know their history at all. This is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism straight up. That is nothing but a bunch of tea-bagging rednecks.”
“I bought this outfit from a drunken hobo for 5 bucks…what a sucker. Don’t be fooled people, I may look alive but on the inside, I’m very much dead”
The most troubling thing about this is not that Garofalo fancies herself a political pundit. It’s not that she called Tea Party protestors “rednecks” and “racists”. And it’s not that she thinks people actually care about her stupid opinion. It’s that….she’s still alive. Seriously, who knew? Her career is about as lively as that squirrel I ran over with my minivan when I was in high school. I shouldn’t have said that, now PETA is gonna camp out in my front yard…
Again, I digress.
Nancy Pelosi suggests that these people (tea party protesters) aren’t smart enough or independent enough to organize these protests on their own. Calling the protests “Astroturf” and that it’s “funded by high end” Americans who are using these events “to keep focus on tax cuts for the rich”.
Anyone else think she looks like the Crypt Keeper from Tales from the Crypt? No amount of botox can save her now...
No way could this be about Obama and his attempt at making the government even bigger.
When liberals protested at military members FUNERALS that was fine, but G-d forbid they protest “the anointed one”. We are talking about protesting a dead American who voluntarily gave their life in defense of these scumbags. But that’s all well and good and within their rights, but a conservative protests and its racism. Liberals spent 8 years (and continue to this day) calling G-dub unending slurs and horrible names and that was all good but you disagree with “the Messiah” and that means you’re an ignorant moron from the sticks.
With a quick ADD moment, here’s a picture of a cute puppy for no reason:
Man thats one cute puppy....now keep reading
My point is this: all over the place we see double standards. The liberals don’t want the conservatives to have anything…at all. They can overwhelm the market with liberal Media on television and print but the conservatives have one channel that leans to the right and that’s unacceptable to them. They can’t accept that Conservatives on Fox News and on the radio are popular because of the message they deliver. People want to watch and listen to these shows. No one is forcing them, no one has a gun to their domes making them watch and listen. Liberal talk radio blows, that’s why they don’t exist. It’s not that they don’t exist because of some massive conspiracy; they don’t exist because no one cares for what they have to say. Liberal leaning newspapers, magazines, and TV channels are spread as far as the eye can see, but that isn’t enough. Liberals have been protesting since Vietnam and that was them simply “exercising their first amendment rights” but when average folk who want small government protest, it’s widely orchestrated by the rich and is made up of nothing but idiots, rednecks, and racists.
The double-standards of liberals can be seen in almost any political venue, it’s no surprise and it isn’t new. And they wonder why people are having voter’s remorse from last year’s election. In the words of Queen, the liberals are clearly saying “I want it all I want it all I want it all and I want it now”.
Good day. I care about your opinions, share them with me by leaving a comment. I guarantee I will respond to them. Thanks for stopping by, see you soon.

LoL! Wow man your comedy in writing is top notch. It’s really funny and entertaining to read. As far as the actual ideals and topic being discussed, and this is just my opinion..I don’t see how anything is being solved and actually moving toward progress in this country when both sides do nothing but complain about the other side! Seriously, every time I watch something on fox news, or see something on CNN its the same thing…”The democrat left-wing liberals are a bunch of socialists booshwa starbuck hippies” …” The republican right wing conservatives are a bunch of uptight, gun flingin, white trash, jesus freaks” (Don’t take that personally, I’m using it as reference) Republican this, Democrat that..and blah blah blah.
My point is that, what is all this bickering going to solve? To consistently point out the flaws of the other party is to bring about what? Absolutely nothing, there is nothing good to come of it. I understand that the human element comes in to play, that people have their set of beliefs and will do what they need in order to defend there beliefs, but I think sometimes these people need to seriously sit back and ask themselves, “Are my actions leaning towards progress or stagnation?” And if you able to identify between the two, why do something that ceases to help anything or anyone? Strength and understanding comes from unity, not through perpetuated conflict that bring nothing but divison and seperation. People in this country are so fixated on the idea of there being “two sides” “two parties” “Republican/Democrat” “Left-Wing,Right-Wing” “Liberal, Conservative” that they often lose sight of the the fact that we’re all on the same team, we live in the same country, and the only thing were hurting is ourselves. This conflict carries out in our society, in the media, through washington,in the white house, and so on. There is a line being drawn in our society, and with the help of the media that gap is only going to get wider. All I ever hear from Hannity and Limbaugh is bitching! Do they ever have anything to say that actually might (eh.. I don’t know) HELP, contribute, UNITE! Then you got Glen Beck freakin out and cryin iike a seven year old girl! The same goes for CNN and MSNBC and the rest of the liberal media. The news networks in this country are a total circus and a JOKE! It is no wonder why there are so many people who are just entirely sick of the “politics” and there antics and there games in this country. I understand that, the back and forth conflict comes down because of the major differences in the values, beliefs and ideals each party uphold, and the fear that comes in believing the other parties way of doing government are going to bring nothing but bad times! Has neither party not fucked up at one time? Are they both perfect? Are they both wrong? Are they both right? Is one really better then the other? If either party were given total control till the end of time, then everything would be alright? C’mon! These are grown as men who are suppose to be running this country, who are suppose to be working together and who are suppose to realize that is this whole thing shouldn’t be about THEM, but about US, the people of this country, the citizens whom their suppose to be representing!

First of all, thanks for reading and sharing your opinion. And thanks for the compliment even though it implies that I’m a good comedy writer but not so much politically, it’s ok. and know that I mean no offense by anything I am about to write.
Now on to your actual comments.
I don’t know when you are watching the news but the whole constant complaining no matter when you turn on the news, is inaccurate. I watch the news for several hours a day and that is simply not the case. In fact, the stereotype of conservatives that you just gave is something I’ve never heard before. I’ve never heard the Conservatives called “uptight” “white trash” or “Jesus Freaks.” I’ve heard redneck but never heard white trash. And people who go on news networks, whether it be Fox News or CNN, do not use that type of language.
It’s all about getting support. If you argue the flaws in a political party’s argument as far as a subject goes, you are trying to weaken their argument and get support for whatever it is you are trying to pass. You said “are so fixated on the idea of there being “two sides” “two parties” “Republican/Democrat” “Left-Wing,Right-Wing” “Liberal, Conservative” that they often lose sight of the fact that we’re all on the same team,” while I think this is accurate to a certain extent, I don’t think people have forgotten that we are all Americans there are just 2 sides to the debate because their approach to a certain topic is different and each side thinks theirs is better.
Again, I don’t know when you have heard or watched Hannity but his show is almost completely made up of dialogue. He brings in Conservative and Liberal alike and has debates with them. The purpose of his show is to give you the points of view from both sides and let you decide for yourself. If you think all Hannity does is “complain” then I ask that you watch his show again. When Bush was president liberal commentators complained the whole time, and to this day they complain and they have the majority in congress and the president. And Glenn Beck has done more for progress toward what our founding fathers want than any other political pundit in the last twenty years. Beck makes people aware of how far we have come and how government is over-extending its reach. Beck has regularly given props to both sides of the aisle and in fact tell people that it doesn’t matter what party they vote for, as long as that person stands against corruption and intends to bring us back to where the founding fathers intended. When Glenn Beck has actually cried, it’s because he is worried about where the country is going. To make fun of him for this is very immature and rather petty.
Neither party has claimed perfection. Neither party has said they have never made a mistake. Both parties are made up of human beings who are not impervious to mistakes. If you are looking for a party made up of perfect beings, you better keep looking and let me know when you find them. This all comes down to what YOU want out of your government. I am a conservative because I want a small federal government, a free market, and I want people to succeed or fail because of their own merits. I am a conservative because I don’t think government has a place to tell me what to drive, what to eat, or where to spend my money. If you dislike how your representative is conducting business, what is it that you are doing about it? Your hands off approach to politics does less for progress then anybody who is actually in politics. If liberals ran government unchecked, we would be moving toward a nanny state. Would you prefer them doing that without any intervention or would you want people telling them what they are doing is wrong? It is the liberals that are focused on what is wrong with this country instead of what is right.
I go back to Glenn Beck; I think you should be thanking him as opposed to making fun of him. If you have actually sat down and watched his show, which I sincerely doubt you have, you would see that all he wants is what the founding fathers intended for this country. Glenn Beck is just a normal guy, he isn’t a politician, and the guy doesn’t even have a college degree. He is attempting to wake America up from the corruption in Washington. Both in the Republican Party and the democrats alike. No one is claiming that Conservatives in D.C. aren’t on the take. But the ideals of the Conservative party are closer to what the constitution and what the founding fathers believed. So my question to you is, what are you doing about it?
