it's like a rejected cable access show. People think this is funny?
comparing that trash vs the ali g clip should pretty much end this thread.
honestly watch a couple mins of each.

If you want to see some Conservatives being funny just tune in to “Who is America”. It has TONS of Conservatives doing and saying things that are super funny!
Also, I love George Carlin...RIP brother.

That's seriously the best example you could think of for the word "loose"?

The number of liberals in the US has never ever been close to half the country. At best there are 20% that self-identify as liberal and 40% that identify as conservative. That’s why liberals always have to push the notion that they are the dominant ideology and never give on any point. It is an incredible balancing act to be so outnumbered but yet try to control every aspect of political discourse. It’s what leads liberals to steer every political debate away from issues and into a name calling sh!t show.

We should be careful with how we classify political groups in America. Because, most self-proclaimed "liberals" in America are anti-liberal. Also, what is a "conservative". What does that mean? What are they trying to conserve? As Ludwig Von Mises said on modern day "liberals", "They call themselves liberals, but they are intent upon abolishing liberty. They call themselves democrats, but they yearn for dictatorship. They call themselves revolutionaries, but they want to make the government omnipotent. They promise the blessings of the garden of Eden, but they plan to transform the world into a gigantic post office. Every man but one a subordinate clerk in a bureau. What an alluring utopia! What a noble cause to fight!" Also, can any conservatives here point to me a "conservative" administration that shrunk government, or at the very least kept it at the same time? Modern day conservatives are anything, but conservative. They are pro-war, that alone makes them any but conservative. As the government grows the most during the time of war. Modern day conservatives claim to be constitutionalist, but yet they almost everything they want the government to do is against the constitution.As James Madison warned us, "If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."
What if they're is a third option? There is, it is call being pro-Liberty, pro-freedom of choice, pro-freedom of association, anti-war, anti-police state, anti-welfare state. Reject the duopoly and choice liberty.

You might be right about conservatives wanting things that are un-Constitutional, but could you list a few.

You might be right about conservatives wanting things that are un-Constitutional, but could you list a few.
Here a few more unconstitutional things conservatives want, unconstitutional wars (as mentioned above), war on drugs, violation of the fourth amendment (patriot act and being pro police to just search anyone's vehicles), most conservatives want to violate the first admenment (ban flag burning), etc.
Good points. Most people claiming to be liberal are actually fascists. The progressives use them for votes and to push the country toward totalitarianism.

Wars are Constitutional.
The federal war on drugs would be un-Constitutional.
It's not clear if surveillance is un-Constitutional and I don't know how many conservatives are actually for wide spread government surveillance. Being pro-police certainly isn't un-Constitutional.
No. Most conservatives don't want to violate the first amendment. Most don't want laws against flag burning, they just don't like those who do it.
It is easy to make fun of the cultural side of liberals. Portlandia has been doing it quite effectively for years.
As for political comedy, the reason there are no conservative analogs to Jim Jeffries, the Daily Show, etc. is two fold. First, conservatives are generally older. When you get old, your sense of humor changes. I am pushing 50. When I was young, I was a voracious consumer of comedy in movies, TV, stand up, etc.. As I get older, I find that it is very hard to find comedy that I really find funny anymore. And I am still as liberal as anyone out there. Second, conservatives represent preserving entrenched systems of power--the military, Wall Street/business community, churches, and law enforcement. When you have a party at work, it is always fun to poke fun at the boss. It is mean to poke fun at the receptionist who is a single mom making $12 an hour. The essence of comedy is being the contrarian to power. The only one who could criticize the king was his court jester. So, creating comedy that attacks people who are resisting the status quo powers in society is all but impossible to do.

In response to your claim that these undeclared,unconstitutional wars are just, constitution article 2 section 2:
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.
The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.
Proof that the patriot act and police searches of people's cars/DUI checkpoints are unconstitutional I present to you the Fourth amendment:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized
Police civil asset forfeiture is unconstitutional, Fifth amendment:
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation
In response to just about anything the federal government does, Tenth amendment:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The idea that conservatives are in power at any level of society needs to be challenged:
1. MSM? Nope. Run by Liberals.
2. Hackademia? Nope. Conservatives are run off campus. Liberals own it all at every level.
3. Harveywood? Nope. Conservatives are blacklisted.
4. Federal bureaucracy. Nope. Populated by untouchable Strzok-like Democrat partisans.
5. DC leadership. Nope. An alliance of Liberals and establishment Republicans run Washington.
Conservatives are actually the revolutionaries today. They are on the outside. They are the ones trying to make changes while entrenched Liberals try to "conserve" their hold on power.
The real reason you don't see much anti-Liberal humor is that PC speech codes silence it. PC Liberalism is operating very much like Red-scare McCarthyism and blacklisting operated back in the 1950s. Liberals keep telling us the conservatives want to drag the US back to the 1950s, while they are actually the ones doing it.

Certainly with such witty monikers as "Hackademia" and "Harveywood" you would think they could be clever enough to get some laughs...
