Is there more to add to my "brain of a conservbot"? I nabbed a cartoon pic of
a cat's brain and adapted it to "brain of a conservative." There's a couple of empty areas--what should be added?

1. At my gym, I've noticed a lot of Glassy-eyed wonderment at the Glenn Beck show
Edited on Thu Dec-10-09 11:33 AM by emulatorloo
We have TV's in the locker room, I have seen some true believers sit down and watch with a rapturous look on their faces.

So there must be some brain center that derives joy and pleasure from being feed huge amounts of idiotic bullshit conspiracy theories.

All in all I think they love fear, and they love feeling angry.

3. You forgot the part for
unnatural sex acts, attraction to hookers both gay and straight, and misogyny.

5. For emulatorloo: the Beck addition:



In looking around at Beck pics, I found this one, which seems to indicate why so many frightened conservbots identify with Beck:



Beck is acting out the fear and confusion they live with.

8. Well, I can think of a couple :evilgrin:
Down between "daddy love" and the gun department, you need the "unfocused fear of anyone different section" - Ya know, the one that makes wackos beat an Orthodox preist with a pipe 'cuz he's a "terrarist".
There's a "fear of strong women" section that can go beside the back door to homophobia.
And somewhere in that zone between Old Dixie and the Sainted Fool, you need an Overdeveloped Overcompensating Fo by Fo Chivvy Pickup Love Gararge (sample illustrations)

12. How about "sports jerks"?
The "Tank McNamara" comic strip has a running "Sports Jerk of the Year" contest. Maybe that would cover my BIL, who can drive a houseful of people away in 15 min. watching the ballgame. The refs are crooked, the coach is an idiot, the players are bums....
And it would probably cover psychotic Little League & etc. parents, hecklers, hockey goons.....
