AT THE FUNDAMENTALIST YOUTH RALLY

From a New York Press essay via Eschaton:

Christians sure know who they’re going to vote for. What people on the so-called left have never figured out is that the strength of the Christian movement is that its people have had enough sense to openly reject the popular culture.

They’re just too stupid to do it effectively. They drop out, but they drop out into shopping malls and, in the case of Darien Lake, amusement park concert venues run by Clear Channel. Then they let a bunch of shysters preach self-annihilation and obedience to them before they are let loose with their debit cards into the Six Flags gift shops. What a joke: You see these people walking around with $17 glitter wigs, stuffing their faces with Coke and Tostitos, and they actually think their G.A.P. shirts (God Answers Prayers) identify them, not as suckers, but as cultural rebels.

From Monty Python's Life of Brian:

Brian: Look, you've got it all wrong! You don't need to follow me! You don't need to follow anybody! You've got to think for yourselves! You're all individuals!

Crowd: Yes, we're all individuals!

Brian: You're all different!

Crowd: Yes, we are all different!

Homogenous Man: I'm not.
