i'm a wolf in wolf's clothing. people usually who start to make those statements around me normally stop.

they always stop, stand up straight, look around to make sure the coast is clear, then make their desultory comment. normally, after they see me, they either duck and run to a different room, or i get the question:

you're not a republican/ conservative/ christian/ southernor are you?

whatever happened to affirmative action? shouldn't hollywood be integrated? who decided that diversity only applies to race? sounds like i know what my next post will be.....

Good point, but putting forth that bony postergirl of the Bund Deutscher Maedel as an example of an attractive republican is probably not the best way to swing the vote. Michelle Malkin would have been a far better choice, on account of she is much better looking and sometimes actually uses logic in her arguments/columns.

Ah, but the point of wearing the sheep's clothing is to facilitate lambchops. Surely you must peel back the wool every now and again and trounce the silly people.

If not, you should. It's quite fun. I love how they just stare like deer in headlights when bombarded with a well constructed tirade of factual evidence.

Poor Saddam?! That statement would of stunned me into silence. How can you talk to someone so removed from reality?

Uh...can I kiss you now?

as i don't really follow politics or read pundits from the left *or* right, i have absolutely no idea what ann coulter's opinions are like. . . since, however, you brought her up in terms of her looks, i remember the first time i came across her. . .

it was several months ago and i'd never even heard of her name when that one comic strip "the boondocks" had a little bit where one of the kids was voicing a suspicion he had that she was a man 'cuzza her adam's apple. . .

since i had no idea who she was or what she looked like, i did a quick google image search and when i clicked on the first image that popped up:

http://www.townhall.com/acimgs/webimages/annfox.jpg

i remember just totally busted up. . .

i mean, yeah, she's kinda cute but whenever i see a picture of her i can't help but think about that one friends episode where joey's talking about a girl he broke up with and said something like, "...but she had the *hugest* adam's apple". . .

Republican women only tend to their looks.

This blog is boring. I can't any semblance of political insight that hasn't already been rehashed a million times in a similarly bemused, self-enamored and sarcastic tone by Dennis Miller on his snoozefest of a talkshow.

Please try to come up with something interesting to say or shut down the blog and give us a break from the incessant drone of your godawful, talentless tedium.

Thank yew, and good night.

Ugh -- there are thousands of other blogs around so there's no reason for you to hang out here and be bored.

Go forth. Sadly we won't miss you.

Moxie, you're a kickass enough woman to make a man rethink his dislike of cats.

You don't know how high a compliment that is.

Knievel, since I love my dog-like kitties more than I love myself, I do appreciate that compliment.

Besides, I've seen them convert other feline-haters...just on their charms alone. Politics aside ;)

I'm an actor living in New York City, so approximately 99.99999% of everyone I see, speak to or sneeze upon is a capital L liberal. The presumption is always that I must be, too, and it never fails to annoy. I just don't get it. To the people out here, being a conservative is the equivalent of being a Nazi or, worse, some kind of bible-thumping Jesus freak.

Starving actors tell me that they'll do just about anything...except a commercial for a Republican. An anti-war demonstration is a perfectly typical first date.

I'm not as brave a man as I'd like and so tend to keep my mouth shut and walk away when the conversations turn to politics. On the one hand you'd hope it could be an opportunity for dialog and sharing, but the reality I've observed is that conservatives simply get bashed by the crowd. On more than one occasion I've been shot down in conversation with dismissals of "Oh, you're a Republican? Fuck you!"

Quite frankly, after awhile, it gets hard to maintain any respect for the alternative side. This is primarily because it's put forth so abusively.

Now if only my president would start governing conservatively...

My best friend is a far left liberal, yet everytime we talk she's surprised that I am republican. Well, it's because I'm open-minded, while most liberals I know close of the debate if they don't like what they are hearing.

Moxie - how dare you have content that Ugh doesn't approve of! Never mind the few thousand other people who love your site, not only should you shut this place down, in light of your offense, you should kill yourself right away.

You stop that Goddess! I knew her before you.

Just be thankful you fit into any of the overly convenient pigeon holes. Where's the line up for gun-toting, gay-accepting, anti-abortion, anti-religious, government hating capitalists?

Mox:

Great post, but that pic of Ann Coulter is awful -- those concentration camp legs do nothing for my libido, let alone my appetite.

My suggestion: Add a pic of the Mox-ster.

Ugh:

Go to hell.

I live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, - filled with artists, hipsters, and young, left-wing activists. Each week I go to a favorite bar of mine, where a bunch of American, French and other foreign artists like to gather, and argue with them about Bush, whom I support and who I plan to vote for.

At first, I almost got into fist fights: the shock and anger that someone like me sitting next to them didn't share their point-of-view was palpable. But by now I've passed from an oddity and a freak into someone with an alternative point of view. Our conversations have attracted a crowd, in fact: young artists from all over the world wind up joining in. As I'm a Finnish-American, Americans wind up wondering how I could ever have made such a transition (I used to be a Democrat)? Sometimes I make stupid mistakes, as when I told someone that what I liked about the war is that America has essentially punched the Arab World in the face - and my listener was someone with an Arab father. In either case, all of the French artists are friends of mine by now. In fact, I make them prove it by buying me drinks... well, no, but it is surprising how much respect people have for someone who dares to speak their mind.

The trick is to be tenacious. And have your arguments ready. A lot of the arguments, in fact, I've been able to formulate by reading the blogs. But the fact is that you have to call them on their assumption that you're a fellow anti-Bush leftie. And I also think it will help Bush's re-election if people realize that - oh no! - if he is pro-Bush, are there others like him around me!?

Some will shun you, but to hell with them. In business, of course, it might be a problem, as people are going to be prejudicial against you if they dislike your political leanings. Thus discretion is important, although I've made it clear to everyone I work with about my political point-of-view, so they don't tire me with silly assumptions. And, again, it unnerves the opposition when they realize that one of THEM is sitting right here.

In the long run, by speaking your mind you might not just help the cause, - you just might be able to make some new friends as well.

So where the heck are those WMDs?

You had me until "people who don't kill babies just because it's "convenient"...

It's those kind of generalizations that make me insane.

How nice that you can lump anyone who has ever had to have an abortion into that category. Must be nice.

I'll wait for the smoke announcing a new pope.

xxxxxx: that's an irrelevant question.

I live up in Portland, which is a great area, except it seems that every cute girl I meet turns out to be some sort of "Bush is worse than Hitler!!1" lefty nutcase.

Which is a problem because I tend to lean conservative/libertarian and think that GWB, while definitely not perfect, is doing a decent job and is far better than any of the current potential democratic nominees.

I can keep my mouth shut and ignore it for the most part when I'm bombarded with "oh my god, the world is going to end unless we can pry this country back out of the hands of those ruthless neo-con nazis who've stolen our democracy from us!!" all the time at work, but sometimes I just can't take it anymore and interject some facts into their chicken-little rants exposing my wolfitude.

Where can I find a hot, conservative-leaning girl like Moxie up in these parts? :)

I find amusing that the instant argument of the left is compare Republicans with Nazis.

Dennis Miller made a good point when talking about the various types of left wing "anti-war" protesters:

"The second type you have at these parades seems to be the people who want to mislabel Hitler. Everybody in the world is Hitler. Bush is Hitler, Ashcroft is Hitler, Rumsfeld is Hitler. The only guy who isn't Hitler is the foreign guy with a mustache dropping people who disagree with him into the wood chipper. He's not Hitler."

Yeah, stop labelling everyone you disagree with as Hitler (though I do seem to remmeber George H. W. Bush labelling Saddam as the new Hitler. ;-)

Sparky you whore. You forgot that Ronald Reagan labled Gorbochov as Hitler too. I stick my toungue at you in spite.
