I think your right wing and our right wing are fairly different.
Pretty sure all if not most of the comedians in the Blue Collar Comedy tour where to the right. Mind you, not socially to the right. IIRC, that is the most successful comedy tour of all time and made Jeff Foxworthy almost an effing billionaire

Groups like the Tea-Party that are pretty openly racist are ruining it for people that have legitimate criticisms of the Obama administration.
*sigh*

Really? As much as liberals claim to be so progressive and so much smarter than everyone else, they sure cant do ****ing research on anything when they are pissed at someone....more like children..if you dont agree with them, just call em a racist.

Because according to Zed they will turn into man-boobies if I ever stop working out.

Without trying to cause an argument, in England a lot of comedians are pretty right wing.
I didn't know that. Out of curiosity, which British comedians are right wing?

(Of course, this begs the question of whether British comedy can even be deemed funny to begin with...)

Two questions:
  1. Are you a member of the tea-party?
  2. Do you believe that the tea party was started by average people?

I'll take this one:

1) I would like to be.
2) I really do.

Off the top of my head David Baddiel and Roy Chubby Brown. I think it's easier to poke fun a the left wing than the right wing overall.

Off the top of my head, South Park is really the only thing I can come up with that doesn't hold any punches when ridiculing Obama. Not that they hold punches for anyone else. Their willingness to use a scorched earth policy on anyone is why they are still a big ticket program all these years later.

You think poking fun of minorities, the poor, and gay people is easier than poking fun of entitled rich twits and theists?

No, and yes it was.

The Tea Party you hear about on the news isn't the same Tea Party that exists locally. Each local group of Tea Party members have different goals. As with all politics what you hear on the news is only the loud mouths and whatever is considered to be a hot topic. News networks never show you reality because it's boring.

It's why I don't even bother with politics anymore. It's just two parties trying to talk **** about each other. Nobody can talk about how awesome they are so they have to smack talk the opposition.

If you believe the news liberals want to destroy the country and support people having tribes of children while also have big abortion parties and buying brand new SUVs and iPhones with taxpayer money and want to punish anyone who works hard in life, and rich conservatives want to enslave the population, deny women rights, and make them all work in sweat shops while they construct trillion dollar mansions and fly to the moon in space yachts.

Politics and religion turn grown adults into little children. The only thing funny about the video is that's exactly what both democrats and republicans sound like whenever they open their mouths around election time.

Give me an example, it would be fun to compare opinions from different sides of the world
There is an excellent Start the Week with Andrew Marr that explains the difference really well.

In England, yes. We are still a class-driven society.
