It’s Conservative Comedy time at the Strident Conservative. As I do every Friday, I bring you some of the best conservative political and religious comedy, jokes, and satire on the internet, sure to provide a good laugh to begin your weekend.

Responding to the widespread derision of State Department spokeschick Marie Harf’s assertion that ISIS can best be defeated by creating job opportunities and encouraging neck-slicing radical teenagers to “start a business” rather than “pick up an AK-47,” John Kerry has entered the fray to explain what she meant for those of us too stupid to understand nuance.

“Terrorists don’t exist in a vacuum,” Kerry said in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece. “Especially if you change the bag on a regular basis.”

Okay, he didn’t say that last part, but the Conservative Comic at Hope n’ Change thinks it’s still a good idea in case your home is teeming with radicalized Islamic dust mites.

Jodi Miller at Newsbusted rocks the news and brings the laughs this week. Check out her take on Oregon Gov. John KitzHaber’s plan to reduce government corruption in his state, Brian Williams’ latest statement on his suspension, and Dan Rather’s support of Williams. Additional stories include: Obama’s war powers request, how the world is reacting to John Kerry’s claim that we will beat ISIS, and Rosie O’Donnell’s decision to leave The View. She wraps up her show with a story on Alec Baldwin’s soon-to-be-released memoirs.

The University of Michigan took some pretty big steps toward stifling free speech on its campus this month. Just how important is the 1st amendment to students today, and is it our duty to protect it? Steven Crowder provides the answer in this episode of Louder With Crowder.

On another First Amendment topic, AlfonZo Rachel has a great observation on atheists’ hatred of the pledge of allegiance. Zo thinks that atheists are actually using the pledge to force atheism on others.

Zo is a Christian conservative social / political humorist, whose work is distinguished by his grinning delivery and rapid fire rant style in his video commentaries called, ZoNation, featured on PJ Media. If you like his work, you can experience the creative energy and conservative insight that Zo delivers in every show by ordering the ZoNation Complete Series Collection.

Have a great weekend!
