Line 130:
Line 130: − + − − Homer Simpson is the stereotypical blue-collar worker who is always getting into trouble. He's also quite lazy, often sleeping on the job or watching TV instead of working. His wife Marge is a stay-at-home mom who constantly nags him about his shortcomings. Their kids are nothing to write home about either - Bart is a rebellious young boy who gets into all sorts of mischief, while Lisa is an ultra-lefty schoolgirl with no respect for authority figures.

The Simpsons is one of the most liberal television shows around. The family routinely mocking religion and traditional values, while embracing a lifestyle that would make many conservatives cringe.

Then there are the show's supporting characters, most of whom are just as liberal as the Simpsons themselves. There's Barney, Homer's drinking buddy; Flanders, the annoying next door neighbor; Mr Burns, Springfield's resident rich guy; and Lenny & Carl, two more of Homer's work friends (who happen to be gay). Even Krusty the Clown - one of Bart & Lisa's favorite TV personalities - has leftwing leanings!
