And it’s also Vladimir Lenin’s birthday! Is that a coincidence?
Not according to these conservative bloggers.
You know, come to think of it, it must be kind of fun to be a conservative. The whole world is full of these evil invaders who are trying to destroy everything, including themselves, and only the conservatives understand it. It must be like starring in the world’s dumbest, slowest Jerry Bruckheimer movie 24 hours a day.
All of my conservative friends tell me that I have obviously not researched the other side of the global warming/climate change debate, because I don’t hold their opinion despite all of the little studies they throw at me. It’s all a scam to make money. Soon enough we’ll all find out the truth, but they already know it! They’re fucking Nostradamus.
Today is also the same day that Richard M. Nixon died in 1994.
Cool, I had forgotten that I shared a birthday with Lenin.
Earth Day; Administrative Professionals (formerly known as Secretaries) Day; Lenin’s birthday – it really is a Red letter day.
But Lenin sent homosexuals to the gulag, so why gush over him?
Conservatives should go back to worshiping their deity, Ronald Reagan.
Ronald
Wilson
Reagan
Hmm… 6 letters in each name. 666.
Reagan *is* the Anti-Christ!
Don’t forget all the lefty conspiracy nuts! There are crazies of all political persuasions.
Are you kidding? If I was a conservative I’d be scared shitless 24 hours a day. Gays getting married, teenagers having sex and liking it, prisoners not being tortured until they reveal their secret plan to destroy America, Sean Penn freely roaming the earth…I’d be in a basement somewhere, stroking a shotgun and snacking on MRE’s.
The date was picked by a giant gaylord.

Actually I don’t ‘gush’ over Lenin – especially since he backed Stalin as his successor and that was bad for everyone.
Thanks for the reminder.
Government conspiracies are the best. They portray governments as all knowing and all powerful malevolent entities capable of pulling off the most complex of covert operations and yet they are also somehow completely incapable off anything big without at least a few major screw ups.
Oh, but wait, that’s all part of their master plan!!!
If there had been a Stranger “newspaper” back when Lenin was around, you hacks would have ridiculed anyone who pointed out what an evil murdering bastard he truthfully was. Eat shit and then kill yourself.
‘Cause the Soviets were such raving environmentalists.
@11,
Nice try, but it’s obvious you don’t know anything about far leftists. They’re still making excuses for Lenin. The Stranger isn’t half as liberal as you yahoos want to believe.
The Stranger is pretty liberal when it comes to sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll but it’s not exactly a new age hippy communist rag.
That explains that busload of people with party hats on this morning at the Statue of Lenin in Fremont.
I just figured it was some kind of family get together.
@11: Golly, it must suck to be you. Your world looks scary and bad, doesn’t it?
Golly it must suck to be a stoned-stupid patchouli-stinking commie-loving Seattle-dwelling naive hippie.
No, no it’s actually pretty great.
Now if you’ll excuse me I’ll have to get back to my organic flannel-tie-dye business I run out of my solar powered geodesic dome.
I want to buttsex that statue
@16 Hey, I like being stoned, and I hate patchouli. So, fuck you, I guess.
It is totally cool to be Conservative.
Conservatives are happier than Liberals (The Economist did a story about it)
Conservatives are optimistic and think life is mostly fair and take responsibility for their own destiny.
Liberals are whiny bitches who think the deck is stacked against them and blame someone for all their woes.
Dan is your prototype Liberal.
.
I just like to have gay sex and then claim I’m straight
oww, i wanna eat a gun!!!
so, then you’re not actually posting a whiny, defensive “complaint” blaming “liberals” for all your problems @20?
Funny, sure sounded like one.
Nice- instead of analyzing whether the aims of Earth Day activists and comparing them to the aims of Lenin, you call conservatives names. Read the post before bashing it.
@24: Isn’t the ball kinda in the conspiracy theorists’ court to support the Earth Day – Lenin connection with that sort of thing first, before us pinko-green commie ecoterrorists have to refute it? Or has the game changed now? Can the conspiracy theorists point and grunt, “Uh. Big Tobacco! Pyramids! Louis XIV!” and the onus is now on us sensible folk to first figure out what the hell they’re on about, and then talk them down?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t the communist bloc basically piss all over the environment at every available opportunity?
It must be nice to believe that all of your enemies are united in a grand struggle to destroy you.
@26: As far as I know, according to the right-wing conspiracy theorists, any environmental initiative is actually a plot to undermine the free world’s industrial economy, by burdening it with needless “green” regulations and such. So maybe the commies are playing green just so that they can get the free world to handicap themselves, and meanwhile they are building massive armies in efficient but pollution-spewing factories, and as soon as the free nations go bankrupt, the commies will seize their clean lands and put them to work in the commies’ now-toxic hellholes! Hahaha, it’s so deviously clever it must be true!
Silly conservaties. Every good Seattle liberal knows that COMMUNISM NEVER EVEN EXISTED!
Communism is a made-up boogeyman used to scare people. Lenin is completely made-up! Stalin was not even real!
Communism… what a joke. I can’t believe people still fall for the lie that Communism exists. It’s exactly like saying the moon is made of cheese!
Silly stupid conservative assholes, believing that something like Communism ever even existed, and that it killed millions of people all over the world.
Anyone who would believe that shit would believe in a flat Earth and belongs in the insane asylum!
Hey, Hitler’s Birthday is 4/20 and we all know what 420 means! Pot-heads are secretly anti-semetic! And Jewish potheads are doubly evil!
