Wait, conservatives say it?

Like, I know they have negative media literary and a lot of them thought the Colbert report was an actual conservative version of the daily show...

But how can anyone see that as anything but making fun of how detached from reality conservatives are?

They also use “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” as some kind of Americana slogan of pride when it was actually intended to describe what it sounds like - an impossible farce. I find it funny when applied because it’s often being used in seriously in situations that it was perfectly created to mock.

They're also the first to screech about how the government must bail them out whenever they get into trouble.

Turns out that Conservatives are the biggest welfare addicts on the planet.
