Cartman as Mortycycle Cop..."You will respect My authority!"

[walkingdead]

"Cartman rules!"

Absolutely!

Dude, have talked with a doctor about this? Sounds series.

Since it's [sic] inception. Here is a question to make any christian uncomfortable. "How do you know that Bible is the word of God, and not just some made up mysticism?" They can't prove it is the word of God. They take it on Faith. That is why they call it a faith.

The question does not make me "uncomfortable" at all. I realize that whatever answers I provide will never be good enough for some people, just as being personally ministered to by Jesus Christ himself wasn't enough to cause many to change their ways.

Having faith in something is to suspend doubt. Doubt is a healthy part of any intellectual endeavor.

I have a hard time believing that you refuse to believe everything that you can't definitively prove. You know those "Darwin fish" that lampoon the "Jesus fish" on the back of atheists' cars? They are displaying their faith in the words of a man just as much as detractors say Christians do.

There will never be a mathematical equation that proves the existence of God, and guess what? There is nothing that will prove that men walked on the moon, either.

So, fissionproducts, what about it? Do you believe that Neil Armstrong walked on the moon? Or do you doubt it?

Good points.

I don't think I have ever seen anything more hilarious, than
Chef singing Chocolate Salty Balls on T.V.

I think a lot of South Park Republicans like myself, are Republicans, not so much because we love the GOP, it's driven more out of our disdain for the Democratic Party. And the only viable alternative to the Democratic Party is, the Republican Party.

You know I laughed real hard when Cartman was getting back on the plane outta Africa in "Starving Marvin".

In line, he's pushing through a bunch of Africans and he says "Get outta my way I'm an AMERICAN!" Gotta love it.

Oh and SCB was a hoot too!

The Republican party cannot hold its current majority without this increasingly powerful caucus. The party can continue to adapt and prevail, or splinter and lose. The great thing about big tents is that they are portable. The Republicans of the future do not have to set up the big tent on the same exact political turf of yesteryear.

Indeed the so-called "Reagan Kids" were the first "South Park Republicans". During the 80s we listened to rude music, drank, many of the women dressed skimpy-sexy, and we didn't behave ourselves at all. The media reflected our tastes largely because Reagan's libertarian-minded FCC appointees were very reluctant to regulate content. And 60-70% of us supported Reagan. The Dems were in a panic over that last part. I personally suspect that the rise of often whiny "alternative" was part of an effort by the liberals in the entertainment biz to stem that tide.

So in reality, the GOP hasn't been able to win without the "South Park Republicans", many of whom were chased away by the 1992 "culture war" convention, for nearly 20 years.

Gee, and here I was all this time thinking it was the whole, Limited Government, individual responsibility theory....

[oldvike]

Oh yeah? Well my mom says...

[dfwgator]

Give me the non-Christian mysticism of the NFL, the acrobatic violence professional bull riding, and the comedic vulgarity of Howard Stern.

...and twins!!!

[weikel]

No the best was Cartman doing his ad for "Cartmanland". "Its the greatest amusement park in the Colardo area and nobody can go especially Stan and Kyle... So much to do at Cartmanland but you can't come especially you Stan and Kyle".

[dfwgator]

Gee, and here I was all this time thinking it was the whole, Limited Government, individual responsibility theory....

Well, that too. But frankly, that doesn't describe the GOP lately.

Jennifer Anniston's character screaming "bleep the rainforest" and being rescued from the natives by the bulldozer crew certainly came close, as did Rosie O'Donnell being eaten by the blob-monster, sickening it enough to be killed. >:)

You will kindly note I said THEORY. I conciously avoided the word Practice... LOL

[hosepipe]

I am more of a MATRIX Republican...
Yeah, the movie....(the steak's good though)

[weikel]

So any of the rest of you want Family Guy back too. Good show which they time slotted around too much.

[hobbes1]

Yes, the most deliciously fun UN PC on the Screen since Slap Shot.
