Links: Conservative/independent humor and satire

For this list, we're looking for links to sources for (or creators of) humor/satire that is sharply critical of the moronic liberal elites in Washington, academia, and the media.  (Out of respect for our colleagues in the comics field, we've also included a few examples of liberal satirical comic strips.)

WARNING: These links are to a wide range of material -- some of it kid-friendly, some not. 

In fact, some of this material is offensive to adults as well.  On this page, we link to libertarians who sometimes offend religious conservatives, and vice versa; we link to both neocons and paleocons; we link to Tea Party folks and GOP loyalists alike; we link to people who are usually conservative but who sometimes take liberal positions; and we link to comedians and comics and other creators who sometimes go WAY over the top.  In our quest to produce a "canonical" list, we even link to people who offend us!  Inclusion here does NOT imply endorsement of everything the linkee says or does.

Finally, as is always true with links on the Web, destination pages can and do change in unpredictable ways.

Use caution when accessing these links... and don't blame us for what you find there.  (Feel free to let us know what you think about this page, or to send us ideas for links, by e-mailing us.)
