  • I mean we would be endlessly marked by republicans and guess what they would be

  • right

  • be is that is incredibly pathetic what drives them crazy

  • is that Family Guy

  • is something that gives people genuine enjoyment

  • and its actual comedy in comedy does something if it's good company

  • it all but strike at the heart of something that is true

  • and that's why you don't see any conservative comedians anymore

  • because their belief system is not one that's practical or realistic

  • so it doesn't convey or a label message and that drives them crazy

  • that the left has something that they don't have because I'm a conservative

  • gets up there and he

  • you know tell you what really goes on in his head in with his sentiments are
