If this be satire, make the least of it
Though there’s always the chance that Ian Robinson might actually be serious:
Come for the culture war … stay for the chicks. Right-wing women rock.
Not for us the sturdy, honest calves of the New Democrat/Green Party female, honed on eco-tourist rainforest hikes.
Those legs are often on unfortunate display, extending from a knee-length tweed skirt as hairy as the legs themselves, and end in a pair of Birkenstocks.
Meanwhile, on the right side of the aisle:
The only sensible footwear you’ll find in a right-wing woman’s closet are the Nike cross-trainers that go with her gym membership.
Everything else has a three-inch heel. Minimum.
I concede up front that quite the nicest legs I’ve ever been privileged to observe in person belonged to a lady with impeccable Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy credentials, but that proves nothing: it’s a single data point, Sarah Palin notwithstanding. And heels don’t mean so much: is anyone prepared to argue that, for instance, Carrie Bradshaw and company are closet conservatives? I didn’t think so.
The message should be loud and clear: “Please have sex with me. Someone? Anyone?”
Not to worry. Here’s to you, Mr Robinson: women scorn you more than you will know.

Do you allow no chance that Mr. Robinson was indulging in a bit of hyperbole for the sake of entertainment?
I mean, the C.S.O. does own a few pairs of flats, but of her many pairs of shoes — she takes her esponsibility to the economy seriously, friends — about 80% are high-heeled. And then there’s my lovely soon-to-be-married Co-Conspirator Duyen…but I digress.
Overall, it is the case that conservative women are more interested in and serious about dress, grooming, and generally being femininely attractive than are left-liberal women. They take more time over it, put more effort and money into it, and reap better material, social, and sexual rewards than their left-liberal sisters. And may God bless them for it!
(After all, there’s a demographic war to be won!)

I’d allow him the slack for the sake of entertainment if he were, you know, actually funny. A third reading — I am nothing if not thorough — still produced no laffs.
