You May Be a Liberal/Conservative If ...

Here goes: "Neatorama isn't a political blog ..." so thank goodness that this article by Kiera Butler in Mother Jones pokes fun at both liberals and conservatives:

You may be a liberal if...you're in the mood for Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie-Dough Cheesecake. Liberals' chain eateries of choice are the Cheesecake Factory, Panera Bread, and Starbucks, while conservatives dine at Hardee's and Fuddruckers.

You may be a conservative if...you're happy with tap water. Domino's Pizza claims Republican customers are less likely to order beverages.

You may be a liberal if...you're too lazy to walk to the pizza place. The Domino's survey found that Democrats rely on delivery more than Republicans.

Let's keep the comments clean, mmkay? Link


As an independent conservative I rarely eat pizza
& almost never eat at fast-food places. Do like Panera, eschew
starbucks and never touch soft drinks. Rarely eat red meat either.
So much for pegging down the habits of conservative vs. libtard.

Oh my god, are you actually trying to take this seriously, guys? Good grief. An appropriate reaction would be to smirk to yourself, "Yeah right. *I* don't do that." and move on, not write self-righteous comments about how stupid the article's author is.

I realized I was a conservative when I turned to a talk-radio show on a long road trip.
I didn't know what station it was or who was speaking.
The host was well spoken, appeared intelligent and I was pleased to find that I agreed with most of what the guy had to say.
When the show ended, I heard him sign off with "You've been listening to the Ollie North show"
...
I screamed "NNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!", pulled over to the side of the road and cried just a little as I painfully accepted my new-found identity.

True story.

For some reason, I'm reminded of an article I read a while back about ex-hippies in San Fransisco who had grown up, gotten jobs and haircuts, bought houses and cars and started families. They were mad at the current Haight-Ashbury crowd for being a bunch of irresponsible hippies. I would have laughed if it wasn't so pathetic.

I'm not sure how these pizza chains are able to differentiate the political identities of their customers.

If I were ordering a pizza, and they were to ask me what my political party is, I would ask them, nicely, what the fuck does my politics has to do with pizza.

I'm a liberal, and I live across from a Dominoes.

And I order delivery.

From across the street.

...It's because I love the pizza tracker on their website...

Funny!

You might be liberal if you jaywalk. Conservatives are more likely to wait at the crosswalk for the light to turn and then cross.

You might be conservative if you go for the red salsa. More liberals go for the green salsa.

@11&13: Around election time last in November, Domino's added a survey to their online ordering, asking what party affiliation, etc. people claimed. even still, i wouldn't consider it the most reputable resource...

I have more liberal tendencies but wait for the walk sign at pedestrian crosswalks. It's not so much a political leaning but more of a I-don't-want-to-get-fined leaning. One of my old bosses told me the police had once fined him $75 for not crossing at a crosswalk. Harsh.

I would've thought parents with daughters are more conservative than parents of sons. Perhaps I just live in oppositeville...

Mother Jones trying to be fair? Hah. This article was fairly balanced, but it's "smart, fearless journalism" is ridiculously biased.

Love the comments on their page:
"we liberals really do think differently from the Cons, Neocons and the Theocons. If we do not stop them they will persecute and punish us, just as they are now killing Iraqis for their oil."

Jesus, and this is why anti psychotics were invented.
