Unexpected Results From A Conservative Political T-Shirts Party
November 12, 2011
I’ve always heard that there were two things that you should never bring up in a conversation if you want to make, or keep, friends. Those things have to do with religion and with political matters. Well, I’ve always felt that religion is something that only affects those who elect to be involved in it, but politics is something that affects everyone. That’s why I’m as outspoken as I am and am constantly wearing conservative political t-shirts. The constant arguing in public with people I don’t know is getting a bit old. I needed a break.
I decided I wanted to throw a big party for all of my conservative neighbors. The problem with an open-invite party is that anyone can show up. All I needed to shatter my relaxation if for some left-leaning nut job to come and get me all riled up. The way I would combat this is by stipulating on the invitations that you absolutely must wear conservative political t-shirts to get in. There’s not a hardline liberal in the world who would make that sacrifice.
The day of the party arrived, and I was genuinely nervous about who might show up. I posted these invitations randomly around town and online, so it was entirely possible that a group of random liberals might try to crash it and ruin my night. I wanted to host this party with conservative political t-shirts so that I could meet fellow conservatives in the area and share ideas. The main motivation was to lay a foundation of support, collect email addresses, and organize for rallies and the such.
Luckily, the liberals stayed home that day. Not only did the liberals stay home, but the conservatives showed up in force. I had several people call during the week to confirm their invite, but many more showed up unannounced. My wife made plenty of snacks and we certainly had plenty to drink. The party went off without a hitch. Everyone wore conservative political t-shirts, as requested, that ranged from the hilarious to the plain outrageous.
Lots of really good, constructive things happened because of that conservative political t-shirts party. I met lots of connections that I have expanded into a really solid network of support for local issues that need right-wing people rallying behind. I also met some of my very best friends that I have kept to this very day. We still convene for the t-shirts party each year, people even going so far as to fly in from all across the country. We rent a big hall, drink, and enjoy the peace that comes from being surrounded by people who won’t shout at you for your opinions.

Stephen Tyrone Colbert (born on May 13, 1964) is an American political satirist, writer, comedian and television host. He is the host of Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report, a satirical news show in which Colbert portrays a caricatured version of conservative political pundits.
Colbert originally studied to be an actor, but became interested in improvisational theatre when he met famed Second City director Del Close while attending Northwestern University. He first performed professionally as an understudy for Steve Carell at Second City Chicago; among his troupe mates were comedians Paul Dinello and Amy Sedaris, with whom he developed the critically acclaimed sketch comedy series Exit 57.
Colbert also wrote and performed on the short-lived Dana Carvey Show before collaborating with Sedaris and Dinello again on the cult television series Strangers with Candy. He gained considerable attention for his role on the latter as closeted, gay history teacher Chuck Noblet. It was his work as a correspondent on Comedy Central’s news-parody series The Daily Show, however, that first introduced him to a wide audience.
In 2005, he left The Daily Show with Jon Stewart to host a spin-off series, The Colbert Report. Following The Daily Show’s news-parody concept, The Colbert Report is a parody of personality-driven political opinion shows such as The O’Reilly Factor. Since its debut, the series has established itself as one of Comedy Central’s highest-rated series, earning Colbert three Emmy nominations and an invitation to perform as featured entertainer at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in 2006. Colbert was named one of Time’s 100 most influential people in 2006. His book, I Am America (And So Can You!), was No. 1 on The New York Times Best Seller List.
Drew Allison Carey (born May 23, 1958) is an American actor, comedian, photographer, and game show host. After serving in the U.S. Marines and making a name for himself in stand-up comedy, Carey eventually gained popularity starring on his own sitcom, The Drew Carey Show, and serving as host on the U.S. version of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, both of which aired on ABC.
Carey has appeared in several films, television series, music videos, a made-for-television film, and a computer game. He currently hosts the game show The Price Is Right. He is interested in a variety of sports, has worked as a photographer at U.S. National Team soccer games, and is a minority owner of the Major League Soccer team Seattle Sounders FC. Carey is engaged and has written an autobiography detailing his early life and television career.

Philip Stephen Hendrie (born September 1, 1952) is an American radio personality. He is best known as the host of The Phil Hendrie Show, a comedy talk radio program that is syndicated throughout North America on Talk Radio Network. While The Phil Hendrie Show became renowned for its unique and controversial guests, those guests are not real people at all. They are fictional characters created and voiced by Hendrie himself.
Hendrie has performed voices on the animated FOX sitcoms King of the Hill and Futurama, and as I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E. and the Terrorist in Team America: World Police. In Spring of 2006, he had a supporting role in the live-action NBC sitcom Teachers.

Anita Dunn: Fox News Is “Research Arm of the Republican Party”
October 22, 2009
In an interview on CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” White House Communications Director Anita Dunn elaborates on comments she made in an interview in Time magazine, in which she commented that Fox News is “opinion journalism masquerading as news.”
“The reality of it is, fox news often operates as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party,” she told Howard Kurtz.
Dunn added that Obama, who snubbed “Fox News Sunday” in making the rounds with four broadcast networks and Univision to push his health care reform plan, will appear on Fox again in the near future, because “he engages with ideological opponents,” but she declined to disclose a date.
She also points out how the conservative commentators, who were “rejoicing” and “celebrating” the United States losing out on the 2016 Olympics in Chicago despite Obama’s pleas, are ‘somewhat bitter” in the fact that an American President, Obama, won the Nobel Peace Laureate.
In addition, Dunn also criticized the mainstream media over inaccuracies being reported, including the “death panel” claim in Obama’s health care reform plan.
