you talk talk talk about it

i usually take public transport to school but i didn't want to buy the pass for december so i've been driving to school lately. i get bored sitting in atlanta traffic so i've started listening to the news shows on the radio. for some reason i can only find ones with extremely conservative commentators (not for lack of trying to find liberals). at first i was annoyed, but then i decided to see what crazy things they said for amusement. i expected the normal "hillary clinton is satan reincarnate", "global warming is a myth", & "the war is going well". as amusing as i find those views, here are a few i wasn't expecting as part of the republican platform:

1. organic food is bad (sorry, Churchgirl, if you like organic food you must be liberal!)
2. PhD's are bad
3. germany (modern, not nazi) is bad
4. designing cities to encourage walking to fight obesity is bad

how do any of these things relate to being liberal? i am amazed at the ability for everything in world to fit into the bi-chromatic rainbow we have for a political system. you prefer small government? congrats, you also love guns & hate higher education!

It's true, ChurchGirl--there are no earthy crunchy Republicans. Sorry. :)
