    Republicans are hilarious. This was a common criticism of the left in the US, priot to the John Stewart coming to the daily show. Older people have an older sense of humor, and older americans are represented more heavily in the GOP. Adam Sandler is a NY Republican. Norm MaCDonald is no liberal. Chris Farley was and his family is conservative leaning. There is no shortage of funny republicans, but our political structure caters to older sensibilities, so the humor can be a bit more dated. Have you ever watched Brian on Fox and friends?

    We and moderates are the ones that incinerate political correcness. Thank the abhorance of liberalism for the funnier aspects in South Park.

    "That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."
    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
