A quick question (cranky-d)

I just noticed a google ad in the sidebar for a “conservative ringtone.” I’ve been trying to figure out just what that means for a good minute or so and have yet to come to a conclusion.  Perhaps it rings to warn you if there is pron nearby.  And what would it sound like?  Would it be like the cackle of an old crone who just told a weak joke over tea and crumpets or more like the hearty chuckle of beefy businessman who just looted a company and put thousands out of work?  The mind boggles.

Anyway, I’m sure you all can come up with something better than what I suggested.

    Imperial Death March (Darth Vader’s Theme) perhaps? Long associated by the left with Ashcroft and then Cheney. (Hey, you asked. grin

    The Hallelujah Chorus.

    Conservatives = religious fundamentalists, after all.

    Reminds me of a joke I find amusing, from a Jewish jokes group I am a part of:

    “What we do at Christmas”

    The Teacher asked young Patrick Murphy: “What

    do you do at Christmas time?”

    Patrick addressed the class: “Well Ms. Jones, me

    and my twelve brothers and sisters go to midnight Mass

    and we sing hymns, then we come home very late and

    we put mince pies by the back door and hang up our

    stockings. Then all excited we go to bed and wait for

    Father Christmas to come with all our toys.

    “Very nice Patrick”, she said.

    “Now Jimmy Brown what do you do at Christmas?

    “Well, Ms. Jones, me and my sister also go to Church

    with Mum and Dad and we sing carols and we get home

    ever so late. We put cookies and milk by the chimney

    and we hang up our stockings. We hardly sleep, waiting

    for Santa Claus to bring our presents.”

    Realizing there was a Jewish boy in the class and not

    wanting to leave him out of the discussion, she asked,

    “Now, Isaac Cohen, what do you do at Christmas?”

    Isaac said, “Well, it’s the same thing every year. Dad

    comes home from the office. We all pile into the Rolls

    Royce, and then we drive to his toy factory. When we

    get inside, we look at all the empty shelves and begin to sing: What a friend we have in Jesus. Then we all go to the Bahamas.”

  5. along the same lines as Muslihoon, I was thinking maybe “Onward Christian Soldiers”

    It only rings in your right ear.

    “When you’re runnin’ down my country, you’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.”

    Good ol’ Merle.

  8. Meg Q says:

    I was thinking patriotic songs, like the national anthem, “God Bless America”, etc. Or maybe some quick quip from Limbaugh or Hannity (God save us!).

    I remember a joke from the first Gulf War:

    What is the national anthem of Saudi Arabia?

    “Onward, Christian Soldiers”.

  9. furriskey says:

    My ringtone is “Killaloe”, the regimental march of the Royal Irish Rangers.

    That’s pretty conservative.

  10. TBinSTL says:

    Got all my Stuck Mojo ringtones….what else do I need?

  11. Muslihoon says:

    Meg Q: LOL at your joke! I liked that very much! Thank you!

  12. Challeron says:

    I kinda thought that a “conservative ringtone” would sound like an old-fashioned mechanical phone bell.

    Maybe I’m confusing “conservative” with “old fart”,,,,

    TW: I think this makes a record13 comments for me….

  13. Dg says:

    “Hail to the Cheif” what else!!!!

  14. Muslihoon says:

    TBinSTL: Oh my. Stuck Mojo is good! I downloaded all their songs, and I just bought their CD! They are amazing! Thank you for linking to them!
