Akkam’s Razor

What Is a South Park Conservative?

“In my book”, Anderson recently told me, “the term refers to a kind of irreverent post-liberal or anti-liberal attitude or sensibility, one very in tune with popular culture. But it’s not a coherent, fully developed political philosophy. You do find this attitude among a lot of younger Americans, as I show in my concluding chapter, which is based on lots of interviews with right-of-center college kids.”

Those right-of-center college students, for the most part, aren’t Alex P. Keaton-clones, decked out in Ralph Lauren double-breasted navy blue blazers. They’re more likely to look like every other college kid: jeans, sneakers, and T-shirts advertising their favorite rock groups. (On the other hand, as Anderson notes in his book, campus South Park conservatives usually smell better than their bathing-optional counterparts on the left). But there’s one thing that South Park campus conservatives abhor: “Political correctness drives them nuts”, Anderson says. “In interviewing students, for instance, it was clear how much the PC conformities of the campus Left turned them off.”

Is it appropriate to call this guy an idiot and move on? You don’t think these traits exist in their left-leaning, none patchouli oil smelling liberal counterparts? They may “look” like everyone else, but these “South Park Conservatives” are repackaged Alex P. Keatons. They are the new victims, with opportunities being stolen from them by Affirmative Action, their conservative viewpoints being suppresed by the liberal media and academics, and are frustrated why rappers can use the “N-Word” and they can’t.

Let’s be honest…these guys are supposed to be raging against authority. CONSERVATIVES are in charge! And these knuckleheads are raging against the minority while the majority is going to rob them blind and rape them. Smart guys…
