Left Wing Computers and Cars
Gag — I hate to even put his link Dean for America: Home on here. It just lends credibility to crap to even reference the site. In reviewing the article on Apache (Suitwatch) that Brandon sent me, two things struck me. First, it reminded me once again how many Mac people are liberal wackos. It’d be like driving a Volkswagon. I might really like the car (and I do like how they drive) but all the people I know that have them or I see driving them are liberals. I don’t know a solid conservative who owns one right now. Therefore, I exclude it from ever being a possibility because it doesn’t fit who I am politically. A car with political connotations… just as the Mac seems to symbolize the same thing — left wing politics. I’d probably love having one… but it would never suit me because in my mind there is political connection to them. I do know conservative Christians who own Mac’s… but I can’t tell you how many times I have seen one a Volkswagon covered in “Gore Lieberman”, gay rights (equal signs), and other liberal vented bumper stickers only to be complimented by an Apple sticker. I certainly hope that the open source community doesn’t become another bastion for liberalism as well.
