I find this a bit weird as the Simpsons is on FOX.

I loved last week’s Modern Family episode, when young Luke Dunphy is sitting in an E.R. bed with an allergic reaction, and when his little cousin points to his I.V. tube and asks, “What’s that?”, he replies, “I don’t know, but thanks to Obama YOU’RE paying for it.” Awesome.

Also loved last week’s Survivor episode, when former SF Giant baseball player gave his parting words after being voted off (paraphrasing): “You know what really ****** me off most? I’ve made about 60million dollars playing baseball, but I really wanted THIS million dollars… which isn’t really a “million”… it’s only about 600thousand after Obama gets done… but I really wanted it, and I really wanted to win.” That was the best post-vote-off comment ever in the history of that show!

  YES! We rewound the DVR and watched it again. Hilarious!
  
  No doubt, they were making fun of us, since the character is supposed to be kind of stupid. Also, the actor that plays “Phil” is a raging greenie Statist.

The only way to shut liberals down is to boycott companies that do business with and support the liberal media.

South Park is the best show EVER!
And Obama was re-elected cuz Christian groups support him.

More than likely, unlike the supposed 3M conservative that did not vote, Karl voted for Romney.

How come you didn’t vote? You ushered in another 4 years of this mess…you really don’t get it. You by not voting elected Obama…but yet you voted for McCain? What a cortex bender that is…

Don’t watch any liberal crap if I can help it. Boycott hollywood, boycott any lib actor, boycott lib stores, lib products, (don’t forget Kraft), etc. Etc. It takes research but is worth doing. Not a penny to the enemy if I can help it.

  Do you ever loose track of what’s on your hate list? It must get complicated. All that hate. Do you write it all down in a hate notebook? No. I can’t buy that. I hate them. No. I can’t watch that. I hate them. No. I can’t go there. I hate them. I wonder if your in God’s hate notebook. Now that would be funny and a bit ironic.

Who cares. Rove and his outdated, war mongering ideas need to go. I’m sure that in 2016 he will be pushing Jeb. I recently read Jeb’s son moved to texas and has filed preliminary papers to run for office. Please texas NO MORE BUSH’S! The George Bush model of a candidate is gone.

FROM THE DESK OF KARL ROVE.

Greetings my fellow billionaires,

Many of you have written in response to our recent cataclysmic failure at the polls and are blaming our losses on an outdated and unrealistic platform which you now wish to amend in order to reflect the New America.

Some have suggested that we implement changes designed to actually help the middle-class, while others think we need to adopt more centrist beliefs such as allowing women more control over their own bodies, true separation of religion from the state, and ending our opposition on issues of personal liberties. While still others have written that we need to contain our hatred for minorities, gays, and personal freedoms so it isn’t so obvious to the masses.

Most of the aforementioned suggestions are acceptable to our agenda because the ultimate goal of the Grand Old Party has always been to further concentrate the wealth unto our control. However it must be pointed out that anything we do for the middle-class will only detract from this and make our mission that much more difficult. Also, while it’s true that none of us believe in a God other than the Almighty Dollar, we must continue using religion and The Christian Faith, as churches are a prime place to spread our deceitful propaganda. Gullible folks are mush easier to control than are those who have the ability to think for themselves…

Our primary task must continue to be to shield the fact that until 1978 the richest among us paid 8

  80% of our income in taxes. And no one must realize that in those days before Reagan, all Americans shared equally in the prosperity of this country, not just us, the privileged few. We must continue to keep these facts from ever becoming known.
  
  Lastly, I’d like to make a few proposals of my own. Texas has always been my ideal of a conservative state. They have a low rate of college educated voters, and the highest insurance and utility bills in the nation. And they continue to elect the laughingstock of the country as their governor. I believe it’s possible to replicate this in all 50 states if we can keep the cost of tuition so high that few can afford it. A dumb electorate like in Texas is the best electorate for our party. Along with high tuition, I recommend that sonograms be installed at every polling station. Our research has shown that most women fear this personal intrusion and will refrain from voting.
  
  Yours in Christ Our Savior,
  
  Karl Christian

  @Stab_Friendly: highly recommend you take your comments directly to Texas and open your mouth to side-arm carrying Texans, or do you not have the balls?
  
  @original poster: you can buy in to the media hype about “what the GOP needs to do”: open the tent, change the message, target the message to different minority populations, turn away those “radical” Tea Partiers, blah, blah, blah… NO, the Party NEEDS to stay on message with the Tea Party’s focus on economic issues. There is plenty room to tolerate everyone’s varying degree of religious views, but that is NOT at all the point of the Tea Party. The Tea Party is all about economic prosperity, smaller government, more responsible financial management, etc. THAT is a message that EVERYONE can get on board with, and the social issues must take a time-out until we get like-minded, financially responsible individuals into leadership. Without financial responsibility, all else is lost. Leave the volatile social issues to the side – you can still maintain your personal beliefs and integrity on those issues without caving, but DON’T make them your key platform planks, and DON’T get sucked into letting the MSM use those issues to take you off message with the financial focus.

  JUST BART. I’ve never watched The Simpsons, but I can’t get the idea outa’ my head that you might be a little like this antagonizing twerp Bart… skateboard n’ all…
  
  Gotta’ love our little Liberal-Lite “La Revolucionaries” here on The Blaze antagonizing Conservatives, Republicans, Tea Party folks (not the Ron Paul faux Tea Party) and the GOP. Continually knocking who we voted for in the Primaries, Caucuses and ultimately for POTUS.
  
  I’m betting a million hard-core pot heads voted for Gary Johnson and these Ron Paul ne’re-do-wells stayed their lazy, whiney, faux patriot @sses home. No skin in the game except for antagonizing those who attempted to do the heavy lifting in the final part of the election process… getting out there and voting for Romney… attempting to do something… anything for this country.
  
  JUST BART, like the rest of these cartoon characters for Liberty, Freedom and Constitution… what a croc of horse dookey.

  Anyone on here that feels I’m antagonizing them is a progressive that rejects the Constitution and ******* them off is a good thing. It’s not like you’re advocating shrinking the federal government, and the only things you care about would necessarily expand the federal government, so…
  
  The social reforming neoconservative movement is dead. The only seats picked up by the congress where Ron Paul republicans. You can get on board with rational conservatism or keep on losing. The dominant big government statist party is the democratic party. The opposition to that must be small government individualism and is the only way to save this country from economic collapse.

It’s funny how they can’t get rid of big bird, how it was Obama’s big joke, now the Simpsons make fun of Romney and now Rove. These liberals really need to make fun of themselves, they’re the biggest joke, only their policies aren’t all that funny, they affect to many people.

Dang, Sesame Street, SNL and now The Simpsons all in a 12 hour period. Come on Blaze. I am trying to think of the last time Drudge or Brightbart even linked to a single story on one of these sites let alone four in one day.

TheBlaze ia a joke. How insulting it is to its readership. .

  I Like our country I dont like who is running it. I like TheBlaze but I dont like who is running it. They both have lost their original intent.
  
  One lost its freedom and the other lost its mission to report the news that others will not report. I guess to TheBlaze that means SNL gets first booking because nobody will watch that show so it is TheBlazes mission to prop it up.
  
  If you think you are superior to me because you like to get your news from cartoon and comedy shows then you are just like a liberal. There is no difference between you being a Blaze reader and somebody that watches Comedy Central to get your news.
  
  I choose to fight for my country and the tragic loss of TheBlazes integrity.
  
  Glenn Beck are are you seeing what TheBlaze has become and are you proud of this product?

  I thought you believe in the Free Market and capitalism? Glenn is no different than any other for-profit company – if the ad space is selling, he’s a happy camper. If advertisers aren’t buying, the Blaze adjusts it’s slant to please the buyers. In case you didn’t notice, the Blaze was running ads for Obama the last few weeks of the election.
  
  If you think Glenn is somehow a ‘true believer’ and doesn’t care about the bottom line you’re fooling yourself. Or put another way, you’re letting yourself be fooled.

  It just shows the maturity level of TheBlaze’s editors. They would rather report on cartoons and comedy shows rather than real news.
  
  TheBlaze is a joke of a website. All of you people loved spending the last year commenting on the endless chickified news while we lost the last election and our country. TheBlaze served its mission well of distracting its audience while we were under attack and now we have lost the war.
