What's with blonde hair and conservatives?

I mean Ann Coulter's blonde. Laura Ingrahm is blonde. And even the women newscasters on Fox news Channel are blonde. So why are so many notable conservatives blonde? P.S. In case you are wondering, I'm not blonde, eventhough I and my N.S. nation is Right-wing.
You're generalizing. I'm quite sure there are a couple of Democrats and Liberals out there who are also blond.
Don't judge by hair color.
... though I must admit, I've never seen this kind of conservative bashing before. :p
(Before anyone asks, I'm a socialist.)

I'm blonde and I'm a quasi-libertarian...
but I'm a dude, so I don't know if I count.

...This is a serious question, right?
Ok -- it's just weird genetics! Like we can answer it! :rolleyes:
We in the Nordic countries are famous for our blondeness and our liberalism, so...

easy. The conservative is a bunch of middle aged white guys who hold the notion that the good old times were better than today. So, obviously women in general only has a place in the kitchen.
Now, what if a woman wants to get along with these guys? Should she bake pie? I'm sure it would be appreciated but it won't get you far in life. No. Most likely, you'll get a "thanks toots", a wink and maybe a pat on the butt. You're better to play the other traditionnal role of the woman: the sex-object.
The sex-object is lusted after so these men will want to talk to you and listen in the hope of getting in your skirt (but not in your pants, that is far too progressive). So, a "sex-object" woman has a better chance to get ahead.
Now how goes to become a sex-object? By emulating what the conservative see as the ultimate in sexiness. And it is an age-old adage that blonde have more fun. That is why so many conservative women are blonde. It's the only sure way to get ahead. You don't see the red head or the brunette because they are relegated to the role of baking pies.
Of course, this whole post is a humorous attempt to answer the original question and should not be viewed as my opinion or the truth. It was made to raise a smile out of you all. If it didn't work, quote me and put a dispargaing comment on how lame my views are and how uninformed I am of the current conservative crop.

This has nothing to do with British vs. American English. "Blonde" (http://www.webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?sourceid=Mozilla-search&va=blond) is just a variant.
I'm natural blonde (though I've darkened over the years), and take a look at my Political Compass. Do I look like a "conservative"?

you may as well ask why conservatives all wear bad make-up.
i think its a TV thing rather than a politics thing.

Her hair has nothing to do with it. Ann Coulter is just crazy.

I'm surprised that the first abusively anti-conservative post didn't make references to Aryans, Nazis and the master race.
I'm blond, and not known for my conservative viewpoints!!
And, I have to say, as much as I hate stereotypes, we do have quite a significant number of fair haired people in this part of the world... I wouldn't say Nordic countries are renowned for their extreme conservative viewpoints...

Yes, we massacre the English language. We all know it.
Personally, I think you should use it as justification to attack us. You know, bringing proper Grammar to the poor, oppressed, non-grammatically correct Americans... :p

Us Canadians have been doing that foir years. And what thanks do we get? I'll tell you: We get made fun of for pronouncing it "aboot". With all the atrocious grammar and terrifying mangling of the spoken language being done by the USA, they have the gall to make fun of "aboot". [/HIJACK]

Not to mention, a man, so I don’t think she counts.

I certainly wouldn't go as far as to suggest that conservatives are Nazis... I might plant the thought though... *sinister smile*

Now, I'm going to have to say, with all your complaining about American grammar, it's "we Canadians", not "us Canadians". ;D And I am American, too.

What is all this debate on the spelling of 'blond'? I have always assumed that males are blond and females are blonde. It just depends on the gender.

I've always been told it's just "blonde".
