Clothes make the man; naked people have little to no influence on society E. M. Zanotti over at The American Princess recently bemoaned the lack of hip conservative gear, saying "What annoys me is that there’s a generation of conservatives and libetarians out there who have sorely failed at coming up with catchy slogans that adequately describe their ideological leanings, and moreover, that they manage to publish what few slogans they have on tee shirts that tend to look a little like they were designed for Christian bookstores." Amen, sister! I have almost nothing in common with your typical Nascar conservative, damnit, and I don't need shirts like this one conflating the issue. I've always felt that there's a much greater gap in our movement between high and low brow conservatism than there is in liberalism, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the snarky tshirts available to both camps. Let's have a gander: Or: Is that really the kind of trash we want to be associated with? Still, there is hope- I've scavenged the interwebs for many an hour and found some better threads:For feminists! For the Man! ![]() For the libertines! For the fearless! Or, of course, we could just continue to rock the bowtie. | |

Weren't you paying any attention to my clever email subject lines last semester? Let's take a look...
"Work harder: millions on welfare depend on you!" "An armed playground is a polite playground." "America: seeking peace through superior firepower since 1776." "A people that knows what it wants deserves to get it good and hard." Other suggestions: "I <3 Dead White Men" "Epistemological Modesty is for Lovers"  
Ding ding! Ms. Karras's last suggestion really hits the spot.
 
I've seen the first and third ones you mentioned on tshirts. I do, however, love the second one, which I had always thought was a Darrington quote, but perhaps not.
There is also a sad lack of good Dostoevsky tshirts, which I will one day rectify (example of another tshirt I designed: http://www.zazzle.com/in_soviet_russia_shirt-235762500831219948)   |
