It's not surprsing that the criticism of The Simpsons in this thread is coming from people who don't watch it.

Where did I imply that? But the Lisa's character going from Christian to New-Ager, and also to vegetarian and tree hugger, makes her a more liberal character, as it is generally understood.

Lisa became a Buddhist not a new-ager. You implied in your first post that becoming a non-Christian was liberal leaning. Well my Buddhist friend would probably disagree with you but what does he know? I'm just glad my field of view isn't so narrow and that God gave me the ability to decipher truth from fantasy and laugh at myself once in awhile. Peace

I guess it just isn't my style. I'm not into cartoons.

Also, Lisa is the emblem of good hearted but emotion-driven taking up of various causes. And I hear John Ashcroft was a fan of the character for the moral voice she provides.

Krusty upon hearing he was never Bar Mitzvahed: "All this time I thought I was just a self loathing Jew...but now I know I'm just a good old-fashioned antisemite!"

Perhaps you should watch the show in question before you get your panties in a bunch - or merely read the script, even.

I had no opinion of the show until I saw the "trailers" of the upcoming show. They were disgusting. And in cartoon form, they are meant to attract to a younger audience.

I have no interest in reality shows. A show that we did have interest in that CBS won't revisit, was Baby Bob. It was good to see the Quiznos commercials during the SuperBowl. Amazing, no room for Bob in the line-up, yet we have Batchelor 4, 5 & 6 and "Paris visits the Mortuary".

Patty and Selma aren't gay.

Patty dated - and almost accepted a proposal from - Principal Skinner.

Selma has been married to Sideshow Bob and Troy McClure, and perhaps was married briefly to Lionel Hutz in between.

Conservative adults relaxing after a day of work. When we're not tuning in to South Park.

The Simpsons is not a kids show and never has been. The idea that animation is automatically for kids is deeply misinformed.

They also did an episode where Homer thought Bart was turning gay, he took Bart to a steel mill, and of course it turned out that it was a gay steel mill.

When Xena's Guy took a tech support job at a local steel company, I took great pleasure in reminding him that the whole steel industry is gay.

Ok, so he'll be a conflicted clown who joins the priesthood and molests Bart while performing a circumcision.

That better?

If you haven't watched "in years", how do you know what their "talking points" are?

OK, you got me. I still check in with the show once in a while, when I'm sitting around on a Sunday evening feeling lazy. I have yet to make it through an entire episode though, in the last couple of years, because the show is rarely funny anymore, and often inserts statements that don't even seem to be an attempt at humor.

btw, who made you the arbiter of what is or isn't conservative? I would like to see a copy of your check list if you do not mind so I can rate myself.

I'm not trying to be the arbiter of what is conservative - that's my whole point. I have my own approach to promoting conservatism, and other people here have theirs. To some, it is very much worth the effort to write to broadcasters to express disapproval about stuff like this. As long as their overall goals and efforts are in line with mine, I say more power to them. I'm not going to tell other people that their method of expressing and promoting their conservative beliefs is wrong (as long as it is not actually inadvertently working against conservatism). Yet I constantly see, on this site, people trying to dissuade others from doing these types of things, even though these types of things are the very spirit of conservative activism.

And I'll save you the trouble of going through my checklist, I've already gone through it and you have a conservative rating of 12-Bravo.

This is my favorite type of post at FR. Someone complaining about virtures, etc., on TV...using words like "CRAP". A wonderful example of conservative discourse.

I can't use the word "crap" and still be conservative? Geez, there goes half my vocabulary.

"Where you been, Homer? The entire steel industry is gay. Eh, aerospace, too, and the railroads."

And the show has always had an anti-religious bent, consistent with Groening's "Life in Hell" comic strips.

Nonsense, the show is one of the most pro-Christian shows around. Ned Flanders is one of the most sympathetic characters on the show who, unlike Homer and most of the other characters, always tries to do the right thing.
