Shelley the Republican

This is an interesting site. Entitled, "The Freedom Blog," it purports to be an opinion blog for a conservative republican thinktank. It appears, however, to be a group of people merely posing as far-right, religious conservatives. They exaggerate every redneck stereotype imaginable: militarism, paranoia, theocratism, technical illiteracy, intolerence, etc... The opinions they express are a clear parody of right-wing opinions. This ordinarily would mean nothing to me; there are many websites like this. However, the fact that people posting on the site appear to actually believe the charade is alarming. How many are pretending I cannot say, but it gives conservatives a bad name. This is something I resent.

God Bless.
