A Local Perspective: The Goode Family

One thing I've noticed about big-name adult cartoons on TV...they're all relatively traditional families with characters that have to "grow" into liberal values to bet by and "fit into reality".  Some years ago, however, there was a cartoon that I grew very fond of, The Goode Family.  It lampoons the opposite end of the political spectrum, something rarely seen outside of South Park or (occasionally) The Simpsons.  It didn't last more than one season. You can guess why if you know who shapes the media.

The freakish thing about this series is the accuracy in the sources of each character's worldview.  A show like American Dad or Family Guy generally attributes conservative positions as being simply ridiculous notions to be outgrown or pure insanity/nonsense, but the creators of The Goode Family attribute the actions of the leaders of the family to be selfish status seekers, known more commonly today as virtue signaling.

Whenever I meet someone like the people in this cartoon I always related it to how these characters acted, but until now I wasn't able to find any of the episodes since they first aired.  Watching them again, I'm reminded how much it accurately depicts the liberal mindset.  Many of these scenarios I've actually watched unfold in the last few years, from trying to make your dog/pet "vegan" to fat acceptance to adopting a child from a racially different society (as a form of self-degradation and cuckoldry) or simply exposing the liberal id.

Husband: "Don't we always try to celebrate people's differences and learn from them?"

Wife: "Sure, if they're, like, Native Americans or backwards rain forest tribes, but not these [white Christians].  You're teaching our son to drive and our daughter to not have (loose) sex...where did I go wrong?!"
