Recently, an intrepid Rico coined a phrase: “Yosemite Sam Conservative”. To illustrate:
As you see, Sam’s got the guns going. He listens to Mark Levin and The Blaze. Find him in Provo, Utah. Sam owns a three year supply of canned food and 144,000 rounds, just in case. Candidates: Cruz, Perry, Bachmann, Palin.
Sam’s a cantankerous partner to his well-off establishment suburban cousins, “Foghorn Leghorn Conservatives”:
Found: at the country club outside Atlanta, Tampa, and the Research Triangle. Enjoys Haley Barbour, Karl Rove, Mitch McConnell.
Their wary libertarian allies on the west coast are “Bugs Bunny Conservatives”:
They listen to Dennis Miller, read Reason and Camille Paglia, and will support Rand Paul—most of them.
Their east coast, big city, reform-minded moderate cousins are “Top Cat Conservatives.” Read: City Journal, National Review.
The only “Daffy Duck Conservative” is 10 Cents.
