I was reading the news this morning and saw this article 'In Fairfield candy factory visit, Rick Santorum touts the sweetness of a conservative America' and it took me a second to realize they meant an actual candy factory.

Sounds like a genius magazine.  Plus, those articles sound pretty good.

Completely unbiased. A true role model for today's media!

And so perfectly white conservative, too! Actually, the only "conservative teens" I've known were far right fundies and a neo-con who had basically been brainwashed by his mother and stepfather into responding to any political, economic, or social discussion with "REAGAN REAGAN REAGAN".


On another note, isn't it rather strange to have the words "Santorum" and "sweet" in the same sentence? I mean, "salty", "bitter", or perhaps "nauseating", but "sweet"?

Based on what I know of Santorum's ideals... Being from Europe I can't help but wonder how the hell someone like that can actually stand a chance at politics...

I am from Germany and it seemed like a good plan to some of our Politicians (and sometimes i think some followed with "3rd time is a charme"). [edit] I am sorry for that [/edit]

Anyway, it will be a bitter day when Santorum (and the 65 Million religious fundamentalists behind him) wins this election. But hey goblins can be ruled by demons after all.

Is there such things as conservative bias? One thing that has always bugged me about the "liberal media bias" stuff is the simple impossibility for such people to accept that bias can go 2 ways. (Then again since conservative is really just defined by them ad-hoc, and not conservative is liberal, I can see why these people cannot accept such a premise).

And yeah, children tend to be labelled various things by their parents/whoever-benefits-from-it all the time (its universal). I dont know if its for emotional appeal, or to make something seem "hip". (I know I am contributing to the derailing of this thread but to make up for it...)

Also, when I read "Candy Factory" I also did not think of a literal candy factory. Then again its the sort of child-like wonderland that as a kid, I put down on the same page as Santa etc. So that, and Dwarf Fortress. Santa and Dwarf Fortress have permanently warped my view of reality.

Hmm, I just started wondering if the Mayan calendar ending actually has some point to it...

Santorum: "Nuke 'em all and let God sort 'em out!"

That's sad, because I know plenty of conservative teenagers who are hardly brainwashed tools.  Of course, being one of them I'm inclined to say that.  On the other hand, I know plenty of stupid liberal kids who only believe in that ideology because they're told to.  So really, it all depends on who you know.
