I've said it before: I really think Crowder is one of the few prominent conservatives who legitimately fits the old "self-hating closeted gay" theme. Long time adult virgin, obsessed with he-man/50s ideas of masculinity, over compensates how much he despises feminine, stereotypically gay men or Transgender people, constantly showing off that he's now married and TOTALLY HAS SEX YOU GUYS, etc. Also has a way of talking and body language that set off my gaydar like crazy even before I really knew much about him.

He's another dog away from being that guy in the highschool reunion episode of 30 rock who got mad at Liz lemon for saying he's gay in high school cause now he's married and the proud father of two beautiful dogs.

Eh, until he hangs a sheet with his wife's virginal blood from the window or starts churning out kids like a real 'murican, he's just another spoiled anti-family urbanite and never actually had sex. Old school values, buster.

It's like Ross Douthat fretting over the browns annihilating wasps on the demographics race...but never engaged enough to go beyond having his mere two kids by 40something like those same decadent liberals he despises.

I've learned to appreciate hipsters because it seems like they've pretty much led to a lot of good music to be introduced to me as a result.

It seems historically if not for the "cultural elites" these people bitch about? Pop Culture would be a boring, dry, wasteland bordering on propaganda.

Any true conservative would've thrown out almost all movies and music they own and settled for the trash that right wingers create. It would just be movies from that conservative film festival and ted nugent and pop country on repeat, and even then they can't really rely on pop country singers to be on "their side"

I think a lot of them smoke pot themselves. What they hate is liberals expressing their opinions openly. Liberals need to know their place, and keep quiet. Go to the kitchen where they belong and make conservatives a sandwich.

No problem if Patricia Heaton or Ted Nugent lets loose a hate-filled partisan rant, but Alec Baldwin expressing himself politically? WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS, HE'S JUST A LIBERAL HOLLYWOOD ACTOR.

Iconic liberals of the past, well, they were actually conservatives you see, if you listen to the right spin.

It's like with Jesus, but now they can only wait a few decades before they start revising history to view people as conservatives. What's the current crazy right winger opinion on FDR and how long before they some how make him a conservative hero?

FDR is commonly listed among the worst presidents ever among my right wing and libertarian friends for the New Deal, which turned us into a nation of takers instead of rugged frontiersmen over time and did nothing to help the Depression (the war did). The die off of the Greatest Generation, who collectively tended to like FDR, is probably enabling this trend.

That's just because attacking social programs is in. Once the reality sets in that that will not win them many elections, I can see them turning things around and spinning social programs as some kind of conservative thing, just because so many of them seem batshit insane.

But FDR was president for almost the entirety of the war. So even in that line of argument, he'd deserve some credit for bringing the US out of the Great Depression.

I kid you not that an Iraq war veteran that I was having a discussion with about this subject said that exact thing.

He stated that the New Deal did not get us out of the Great Depression but World War II did. I asked him why he thought that government spending did not help but even more massive government spending did help. He said that what they were spending money on was different so it was not the same and World War II helped out only.

Like their whole life is schlubby dude with hot wife having comedic squabbles over outdated gender role stuff except instead of doing a real job like a man, Crowder posts racist and homophobic poo poo on the internet.

The most recent popular line among libertarians seems to be that the New Deal actually prolonged the Great Depression because... I'm not quite sure, really. Probably because everything Keynes said must not only be wrong, but the exact opposite of it must be true. Then the Depression kind of fixed itself afterwards because Free Market.
