Aside from shows directly dealing with hunting or shooting, there are pretty much no pro-gun shows and the vast majority are anti.

Well you pretty much described me to a T.  

But you know what I get mad about the most?  Right wingers that prioritize entertainment over politics.

You can justify your lack of willpower to yourself and others, but in the end you're just guaranteeing a never ending uphill battle for the right.

 

Well, griping hasn't done anything.  But I canceled my cable service nearly a decade ago.  When buying products I mostly avoid known liberal companies even if they're cheaper.  Although quality trumps all.

Look, like you, I've learned to keep my anger in check. Your comments about Stewart really hit home with me. If I managed to catch that asshat saying something stupid it would drive me nuts for hours.  I'm not like that anymore.

But what I really hate is knowing that we can make a difference with our wallets, but we(as a whole) lack the commitment to do so.  The libs are more committed to their cause than we are.  Like it or not entertainment plays a huge role in the political decisions of "low information voters".  It carefully shapes their views over years and years of light propaganda.

Imagine if every like minded individual stopped financially supporting the liberal sections of the entertainment industry.  What would that do to their bottom line?  And ultimately, how would their product change as a result?

The NRA4EVR thing was a joke.

 

Hammer meet nail.

I never once got mad or felt miserable.  There are plenty of examples besides the OP that as a youth I thought were funny without fully understanding who the butt of the joke was or whom the target audience was.

When I became more informed and involved in preserving our freedoms, I decided I'd be happier diverting my funds away from fueling liberal mass media and more towards causes like the NRA and events such as the recent recall attempts in CO.

I mentioned Lisa's quote earlier in the thread.  If I had a dollar for every time I've heard that same line regurgitated by liberals, I'd at least have a full tank of gas. I wonder which is more likely: that they came up with that through their own research of the founding fathers and the federalist papers, or through the simple act of watching the Simpsons (Lisa's supposed to be the smart one, after all) or parroting someone who had.

I don't live in a basement. I have my own house, property, two vehicles, a wife and two kids. We just don't have TV, but we do have the Internet, and that seems a suitable, a-la-carte if you will substitute for TV, as I have never really given a damn about watching sports (seems like a lot of those guys had stuff to air out re: Zimmerman) or shows that I couldn't just find on Netflix.

You guys are mostly different from the brainless masses and know the difference between humor and what you truly stand for, but I'm pretty sure you're well outnumbered by people who can't think for themselves. I'd encourage you to think about that the next time a liberal cites Colbert or Stewart or Cnn or whatever tv sound bite when debating the right to your freedoms.

At the end of the episode being discussed, after trying to convince Homer to get rid of the gun the whole time, Marge sees the gun in the trash. She picks it up, poses with it, and tucks it safely in her purse.

Pretty much a wash overall, if you can't laugh at yourself who can you laugh at?

That was the one caveat of the episode, huh? That and of course the local NRA chapter saving the day and fending off Homer's assailant.

An interesting message coming from Matt Groening, perhaps an acknowledgement of the liberal mental incongruity of wanting to ban guns but also wanting to be protected by them.

For those of us intelligent enough to think for ourselves and not have our thinking swayed by the liberal media, I agree.  We can watch a liberal show for its entertainment value and look beyond the idiotic overtones.

My concern lies with the drones who look to celebrities for political opinions and let the media determine their way of thinking.  What happens when everything they see directs them to liberalism?  That's why I have a hard time watching TV/Movies that are attempting to indoctrinate people..... I know they are succeeding with an ever-growing segment of the population.

PSA : SIMPSON's is a liberal douche-bag show. Always has been, always will be.


Tonight's Simpsons Was Even More Anti-Republican Than Usual]Tonight's Simpsons Was Even More Anti-Republican Than Usual

http://gawker.com/5695811/tonights-simpsons-was-even-more-anti+republican-than-usual

there are plenty of newer Simpsons that are super libral or anti gun. However i agree this one isn't necessarily anti-gun taken in the context of the episode. It goes one to end with Homer being forced to give up his gun by a local "NRA" because he can't use his responsibly,

and with how a few minor modification you can turn one gun into 5

Moe Sizlack was pro-2A.  And presumably a strong supporter of castle doctrine.



Funny thing about Moe, I didn't realize until I was an adult that there was no such thing as a double-barreled pump shotgun.  Makes the old gag even funnier.

Well, I'm pretty much anti-Republican AND anti-Democrat at this point.

This. Matt Groening is rabbid anti-gun. Just look at some of his pre-simpon cartoons.

Yes. That was a joke for the 138th Episode Spectacular. The original scanner gag was highlighting the cost of raising a baby for a month at the time. I watched some episode commentaries with the DVD sets and Matt Groening said one of the shows producers, maybe Sam Simon I don't remember, was a huge gun nut and ultra conservative who'd always get in political arguments with the rest of the staff. He highlighted this right after a scene where a facsimile of the producer popped up in the background as a raving lunatic in a nut house as a gag.

I've resigned myself to the fact that a vast majority of people in the entertainment industry are far left liberals. If you don't think they slant the entertainment that way you aren't paying attention. I just refuse to watch stuff that is so insanely one sided and overt that it makes my blood boil. The Newsroom is a good example of this, Aaron Sorkin feverishly jerks off every insanely liberal platitude into the audiences mouth during every, single, line, of that show.  Im sure with its ripped from the headlines format they'll have quite a bit to say about Sandy Hook and gun control either this season or next. While I ignore shows like that mostly I let the other stuff slide.

The Simpsons have made fun of everything imaginable at one point in time. They mock liberals as well portraying them as dumb pot smoking hippies. I wouldn't take offense to that episode. They mock everyone.

Simpson's ftw!

From the wiki page Politics in The Simpsons

When is the last time you watched it? 1999?

There was an episode where the town melts down all the guns and then they come under attack and they are all pissed off at the fact that they don't have any guns to defend themselves. That episode was pretty pro gun imo.

It was a Halloween special.  Kodos and Krang(?) invade once all the guns are gone.  Moe drives them out with a board with a nail in it.

 


































 

 

Yeah, well, 13'er!

With your every laugh the communists take one step closer to complete victory. It's social engineering bought and paid for by the Left. You'll be smiling all the way into captivity with your network programming and high fructose corn syrup while the next generation is one more further removed from the ethic, culture, and morality that made this country great and one step closer to willing, blissful subjugation.

There once was a land called America.

I stopped watching the Simpsons right around 2000-2001

 

You are thinking of a different episode.  The one Pauperis is mentioning is from Treehouse of Horrors XIII, winch can be construed as pro-gun.

I thought Edgar and Jonny Winters joke was pretty damn funny.

 

That clip skipped one of the funniest parts of that scene..........

Tom Petty's "The waiting is the hardest part" being played in the background while Homer waits for the gun,
with everything and everyone passing by like a carnival shoot with crosshairs and bullseyes on them.



ETA

Found it.

Conan O'Brian is a conservative??

 

I was originally trying to decide if that was sarcasm or if there's more than one Conan O'Brien.  Google-fu says it's the same guy.  Now I'm all confused.....
