Mario Piperni: Happy Meal Conservatism



Rightardia comment: One of our favorite web sites is mariopiperni.com. This is where we found this little gem and Mario's graphic:

[Conservative Talk radio] does so by routinely descending into the ad hominem - Feminazis instead of feminism - and catering to reflex rather than thought. Where once conservatism had been about individualism, talk radio now rallies the mob. “Revolt against the masses?” asked Jeffrey Hart. “Limbaugh is the masses.”

"In place of the permanent things,, we get Happy Meal conservatism: cheap, childish, familiar. Gone are the internal tensions, the thought-provoking paradoxes, the ideological uneasiness that marked the early Right. But however much this dumbing down has damaged the conservative brand, it appeals to millions of Americans. McDonald’s profits rose 80 percent last year."

Happy Meal conservatism. Good one…and written by a conservative.
