South Park Conservativism: An Infantile Disorder
I apologize for echoing V. I. Lenin with the title for this post, but that's how I'd label the phenomenon described in this article, Interview: South Park Conservatives, which defines the term like this:
If this is the future of conservatism, as the author suggests, I want nothing of it. I'll take NPR over FOX anyday.
At least liberals recognize the importance of elites (although they don't admit this) and have enough sense to look down on pop-cultural trash like South Park. I'm sure I could have a more interesting conversation over wine and cheese with one of them than over a six-pack of Bud with some South Park-addicted frat-boy.
Reading this interview, I feel like the author of Party Crashing: A paleo’s-eye view at the Star Trek convention of the American Right

[I]t refers to someone who isn’t necessarily an across the board conservative, especially when it comes to matters of censorship and popular culture, but who recoils from today’s liberalism, with its political correctness, its illiberalism, its elitism, and its feckless response to the War on Terror.
If this is the future of conservatism, as the author suggests, I want nothing of it. I'll take NPR over FOX anyday.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
