A List I Like

From Pandagon's 20 Most Annoying Conservatives of the Year list comes Ten Rules for Being A Campus Conservative:

1.) Complain how you're shut out of every forum on campus by going to every forum on campus and using it to complain, prominently.

2.) Complain about how your professors are liberal, even though they grade your work fairly and accurately.

3.) Complain about the use of academic "buzzwords" in course descriptions without having actually taken the course.

4.) Complain about how much everyone else is complaining about your complaining.

5.) Complain about how nobody debates any ideas while strictly limiting your debate to telling everyone else that their ideas are horrible and shut out the ideas you can't actually elucidate.

6.) Complain about how the cable system doesn't carry Fox News, and complain when you get it but someone else signed up to watch Monday Night Football.

7.) Complain about campus oppression, and then inaccurately throw activist buzzwords at every liberal you can find.

8.) Complain about how you can't get spaces or funds to bring conservative speakers to campus to complain about the lack of conservative ideas on campus, ignoring that the space you wanted was taken months in advance by other groups.

9.) Take Econ 101. Complain about everything in barely informed economic terms.

10.) Complain about every stupid thing done on campus in terms of liberalism, no matter how apolitical it is. Bonus points if you can blame oversleeping for your 8:30 class on Paul Krugman.

See how easy it is? And it takes advantage of the natural talent that every collegian has, regardless of race, creed, income level or background: bitching about shit.
