Not that hypocrisy carries any weight on the right, but for those who are keeping score. (alt version in body)

For those who don't find "far-right" to be an applicable descriptor with what is known currently, I acknowledge that the meme creator could have been more precise with their word choice. However, I feel the difference is academic:
We can replace “far right” with the easily verified “not leftist” without changing the meme whatsoever, primarily because the meme is about Nancy Mace and her mercurial, disingenuous opinion, not (directly) about the shooter.
Edit - I modified it, though I still find it to be a distinction without a difference - alt version for those who prefer (whoops missed one first time)
Yep. And it goes back further. The religious freedom the Puritans wanted was essentially to be able to be more authoritarian.
Edited to add - in case this wasn't blunt enough, just like conservatives have been for my entire life; the freedom they want on any given axis is actually the freedom to control others on that same axis.
There was a comedian that once said "remember, America is a country that was founded by people that were too uptight for England."
I don't know if that was George Carlin, but it sounds like something he'd say.
As I'm a missionary of St George, i can positively say it was not.
It was late 90's or early 00's. Probably one of those old comedy central compilations. Guy was flamboyant, wearing something like a Hawaiian shirt. I'm reminded of, but I'm also pretty sure it was not Greg Proops. Similar style, though.
ETA: I was wrong. Greg Proops is a national treasure, and a prophet. "Couldn't you have worn a blazer..?"
Ironically, there's a good possibility I internalized the same clip at the same time leading to my comment above in the first place. 😆
Check my edit. It's the same routine with a different punchline.
This thread is the only result for "remember, America is a country that was founded by people that were too uptight for England" on Google now
I'm famous!
