Democrats say fried food is unpatriotic

Posted 27 Jun 2008 in Democrats, patriotism

According to Democrats, patriotism no longer has anything to do with the flag or loyalty to and love of one’s country. Cue the new change: Patriotism now means eating “healthy.”

As part of the effort to make the August 25-28 convention the greenest ever, the Democrats’ guidelines for food catering include one that strikes at the heart of Southern cuisine: no fried food.

No fried chicken. No fried catfish. No fried green tomatoes. No fried okra. No fried anything.

In promoting healthy eating habits, the Democratic guidelines say every meal should be nutritious and include “at least three of the following colors: red, green, yellow, purple/blue and white.”

“It’s the new patriotism,” says Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, the driving force behind the greening of the Democratic convention.

I dunno about that, but it sure is a new “-ism.”

UPDATE: After catching flak for this absurd bit of political correctness, the Dems have flip-flopped on their previous menu and included unpatriotic fried foods.
