Everything stays the same

So, okay, I took a few moments out of this busy Saturday to check up with CPAC and Rush Limbaugh's keynote address. Yeah, so much for all the "Rush isn't one of our leaders" talk. Anyway, I was afraid that conservatives would get a clue, change to the modern political era, and actually become relevant going forward. You know, they would actually believe their line about being a big tent and wanting to hear from dissenting voices and becoming an party of new ideas.

I didn't need to worry.

Nope, seems the party has decided to go the route of the Ugly American Tourist. When confronted by someone who doesn't seem to understand how wonderful they are, they'll speak a little slower and louder until the foreigner finally understands English. Because, you know, conservatism is a set of core values, and those values don't change.

Way to go Republicans. And thanks for making our job easier. Oh, and keep calling us, you know, the people you think are too dumb to understand that you all fart rainbows and sunshine, keep calling us the enemy. It does the same thing as the conservative religious people who think there's a war against Christianity/Christmas. Normally it's called sympathetic magic or the "result of positive thinking." Or by believing it's reality, you bring it into existence. In other words, you brought it on yourselves.
