The analysis is the piece is all wrong, so here’s mine.
There’s hope for Mr. Tennis. We become our parents! I find myself saying a lot of the same corny things that Dad says. My Dad and I didn’t get along real well there for awhile when I was a young adult, but I finally came around. What is that quote my Dad says. If you are young and conservative, there’s something wrong with your heart. If you grow older and are still liberal, there’s something wrong with your head! Something like that. My Dad’s a pretty smart guy!

I cannot believe I just read that. This kid believes his parents are part of a Sturmtruppen.
Thank you MTV and Ms.Paisley in 3rd period. Ya did a good job for the ‘peeples’.

Winner.
Nobody will top that comment.

I’ve actually travelled quite a bit. and you know what? It is the best damn country in the world, and that by a long shot.
Oh, and I don’t have Republican friends because they’re smug. Riiiight.

You’re a bastard liberal, the milkman’s your father.

Must be the books they read. I wish they’d browse the humor section once in a while.

Saddam’s sons, on the other hand, loved their dad.
Texas Dan-
Having been to the other “advanced nations” of the world, I have to agree. Nothing better than home.
It’s the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Nobody else’s plan even comes close.
(This kid’s in need of an enema. Or a NUK.)
profitsbeard on August 23, 2007 at 11:59 PM
A kid that doesn’t agree with their parents. Who’d a thunk it? Wow, what a rebel. Did they ever watch MTV Sweet 16, or whatever the name of the show is? Or pretty much anything on MTV…
PowWow on August 24, 2007 at 12:07 AM
Yep yep yep……I was very fortunate, as a 13 yo, to see the other parts of this planet that didn’t have Disneyland.
When that TWA jet landed back here I was one changed kid.
Tis grand I say!
Limerick on August 24, 2007 at 12:10 AM
Ya know, some of the most literally useless, ignorant, arrogant, elitist gasbags I know are loud and proud ‘progressives’.
They have no idea what they’re actually looking at when they look into a mirror.
They have unquestioning belief in the True Faith they hear endlessly repeated from the media and their leftist heroes. They believe what they are expected to believe with no further thought.
Very cult and tribe-like; the exact thing they acuse the ‘religious right’ of being.
I wonder, how do you fix ignorance like that? Time? And with some, like the ones who’ve been doing this stupid crap since the 60s, even time doesn’t help. So what, then? An ever-growing percentage of ‘infected’?
I really believe our Country’s smarter than that. I sure hope so, anyway.

Stankleberry on August 24, 2007 at 12:19 AM
I cannot love my parents any more! So I’m going home to my apartment on the West Side and watch a “Sex in the City” marathon and drink wine spritzers while they put the animals in the barn and get to bed early to wake up at 4:00 Am to milk the animals and to pay off the equity loan they used on the farm to pay for my 5-year Journalism degree. Boo hoo! I’m so upset I can’t even use punctuation! *sobs*
Nethicus on August 24, 2007 at 12:23 AM
Obviously this wank’s parents are smart enough to be conservative, but obviously something was very much lacking in their spawn’s upbringing. Just look how the little swine turned out.

Ding ding ding! You are correct, sir.
techno_barbarian on August 24, 2007 at 12:42 AM
Remember, not all people become conservative as they age. My father was conservative as a younger man, but now at 75, he has become a socialist. At his birthday party, he was mentioning how important it is that corporations pay high taxes, and that without such high taxation, Marxism would be the way to go.
When is my father going to “grow up”?

Dear Cary,
Your Mom and I briefly met in Nogalitos, MX when then President George H.W. Bush introduced us.
Sincerely,
Your Dad

Mallard T. Drake on August 24, 2007 at 1:18 AM
The gratitude displayed by this person is underwhelming. Children like this make a case for post natal abortion. Were Bush truly a Nazi, scum like this and the limp wristed effete people who indoctrinated him into newthink would have been eliminated by now. But then, that is a tactic of the left. If they don’t agree with you, it is ok to hate them. I suggest the idiot move to a peoples paradise like Cuba or Chavez land.

I mean, if daddy knew what you were learning while away at the college he’s paying for, he’d take away the keys to your BMW in a heartbeat.
This kid has almost certainly never had a job. Nothing like working to make you a capitalist.

No clue what you’re talking about. Several of my posts have not shown up tonight. Wondering why.
Connie on August 24, 2007 at 2:45 AM
I’m sorry,I was making some inside jokes about my line of work.
I just wanted to let you know that both of your test posts showed up.
soundingboard on August 24, 2007 at 2:47 AM
Thanks. I see the posts here. It’s posts on other threads that aren’t showing up. I’m no techie.
Connie on August 24, 2007 at 2:49 AM
Almost forgot.
First in, and wins the thread.
Sharp enough to shave with.
soundingboard on August 24, 2007 at 2:52 AM
Oh. I haven’t tried posting on other threads.
Not sure what your problem might be.
I’m more sound techie than computer techie.
What threads did you post on? I’ll go there and try a test post.
That should tell us which end the problem is on. Your’s, or HA’s.

Your dad ( not doubting his intelligence, he raised you very well after all), borrowed that phrase from another very smart man…. Winston Churchill
” If you are 20 and not a liberal, you dont have a heart. If you are 40 and not conservative, you dont have a brain”
mrfixit on August 24, 2007 at 6:36 AM
I can’t deal with Salon’s freaky ad scheme.
TheSitRep on August 24, 2007 at 6:36 AM
As a father of kids who don’t agree with me politically, I’ll add that it’s the responsibility of the parents to engage their kids civilly and respectfully, without trying to force them into agreement. The parents need to explain why they believe what they do and to raise questions for the kids to answer about their own views. Civilly and respectfully toward the kids. I suspect there’s blame at both ends in this case.
Attila (Pillage Idiot) on August 24, 2007 at 7:54 AM
Here lies the problem with our future. The failure to recognize and admit this is the greatest country on earth-period. The second our majority starts to doubt this fact is the beginning of the end for us. Our society is now teaching that it is wrong to be proud, patriotic and yes, I’ll even say, arrogant, about our greatness. This is going to be our downfall.
rayvet on August 24, 2007 at 8:03 AM
This statement is drawn from a quote commonly ascribed to Winston Churchill, though many (all liberals I’m sure) question the attribution.
Freelancer on August 24, 2007 at 8:05 AM
And she asks this as she sponges off her parents, and probably is getting her college bills paid by them as well.
Hening on August 24, 2007 at 8:31 AM
That kid is lucky his parents didn’t subscribe to his politics… he might have been aborted.
Texas Nick 77 on August 24, 2007 at 8:36 AM
This is the same kind of world traveler who would come home early from a trip those same parents paid for because “nobody spoke English”.
tree hugging sister on August 24, 2007 at 8:37 AM
I was more disheartened by the response letters.
The one on the last page was most depressing. Someone who says they “miss dialogue with conservatives” and then asks out loud if there are any righty blogs she could go to.
Obviously, such a person is not actually interested because they have never even searched.
Only a Salon.com letter writer could call the people at Salon “amazing” and talk about “the range of tolerance.” Most of them are all a homogeneous group lodged in far-left groupthink. There’s a not one among them who will not equate Bush with Hitler or comdemn Fox News as the source of their problems.
There’s a reason it’s called Salon.com: It’s the internet equivalent of the location where rich white liberals get their hair done and nod their heads together in unison over the accepted gossip of the day.
BKennedy on August 24, 2007 at 8:41 AM
poor dear obviously hasn’t started paying taxes yet.
frreal on August 24, 2007 at 8:46 AM
How can my parents love someone who asks such redundant and, simultaneously, self-contradictory questions?
DaveS on August 24, 2007 at 9:02 AM
Yes, I knew he was quoting somebody, just didn’t know who. I knew someone here would know!
Funny, my Dad got smarter and smarter as I got into my late 20′s and 30′s!
Ordinary1 on August 24, 2007 at 9:33 AM
I spent a couple years in the Phillipines while in the Air Force. One of my co-workers actually had the nerve to comment “This would be a nice place if you got rid of the foreigners.” We had to remind her that we were the foreigners, to which we got a “Oh…yeah”.
darury on August 24, 2007 at 9:42 AM
What a miserable excuse for a whiny-ass libtard.
Sell the little shit into the white slave trade, and see how (s)he enjoys the rest of the magnificent world on their travels.
Pussy.

Ordinary1 on August 24, 2007 at 9:33 AM
Yea, well my dads intelligence followed a very odd bell curve, when I was very young from about the age of 5 up until the age of 10 he was the smartest man I knew, strangely though the closer I got to 17 the stupider he got, then as I approached 25 he just kept getting smarter and smarter. I was 35 when he died and oddly enough by that time he was once again one of the smartest men that I ever knew.
It’s damn amazing how $hit like that happens…
doriangrey on August 24, 2007 at 10:50 AM
Thanks, Winston Churchill…at least at 20 there was nothing wrong with my head.
Since you don’t have a brain, Chelsea, the least you could do is use your heart.
I guess since I “had no heart” when I was young, I always considered my parents to be brilliant.
I would quote them at school at 15. Bad age for that.
When other kids would snark “Do you always listen to your parents?” I’d snark back “Well, they’ve got more experience than you…you’re 15. What the f* do you know???”
Miss_Anthrope on August 24, 2007 at 11:24 AM
My mom is about as liberal as it gets, and I love her dearly. How I became so conservative, the world may never know. Oh well.
I have always disliked the quote about being young and conservative means you’re heartless. Maybe us young conservatives are just ahead of the game, is all. : )
Preview button rocks!
the goddess anna on August 24, 2007 at 11:29 AM
We’re just old farts, is all. ;)
Miss_Anthrope on August 24, 2007 at 11:32 AM
Well, that part pretty well describes me. Maybe I’m not as “worldly” as the author, but for the life of me I can’t think of a better country, or one that I’d prefer to live in.
taznar on August 24, 2007 at 11:33 AM
Speaking as a young conservative, young conservatives are only heartless when you consider we don’t feel more for protected minority groups than we do for everyone else. Liberals call that a “compassion gap,” and they propose we fix it by promoting government funding to assuage said victim groups.
BKennedy on August 24, 2007 at 11:35 AM
