'It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia ' On Politics: The Political Musings Of America's Drunkest Show

We love "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" for a variety of reasons, but what always amazes us is how they mock politically sensitive subjects without being heavy handed. In honor of their Season 6 premiere last night, we look back at their greatest political moments and what we learned from them.

THE STORY: Mac, who is oddly conservative for a man who has as much sex as he does, joins up with an anti-abortion group as Sweet Dee (the only woman) protests for a woman's right to choose. Dennis (who just wants to get laid) ends up LITERALLY on the fence between the two sides and is therefore egged for several minutes. Of course, in the end, Mac's conservative girlfriend (whom he snagged with his anti-abortion rhetoric) says she's pregnant and he asks her to get an abortion. KEY QUOTES: Mac: "I hate dead baby fetuses, you know why? Because they are dead and they shouldn't be. They should be alive, and they should be loved." Mac: "It's nobody's choice! It should be left up to God!" Dee: "Is he jo...? Is that...? Are you... joking?" Mac: "No, it's not a joke! You remember Genesis? Book two, verse three: And he breatheth into the nostrils of Adam on the first day and it was good." Dee: "You're gonna throw away all your convictions for a chance to get laid?" Dennis: "I don't really have any convictions." WHAT WE LEARNED: 1) Abortion is wrong but killing abortion doctors is fine. (MAC) 2) Birth control is against God's plan, but abortion is fine. (CHARLIE) 3) Your convictions should be based on what hot women believe. (DENNIS)

The more important question is "What if the Virgin Mary was stoned for having a child out of wedlock?

Abortion is not birth control - and when you're 45 or 75 male or female God will know your little secrets.

'God' kills unfertilized ovum every month and sperm every three days. Just because the two don't meet does it make it any better.

You might as well free them sperm and let them live their last few minutes on earth as feree sperm. "Free my Sperm!"

This show is awesome and hysterical. I never laughed as hard as I did when watching the episode "Mac Does Dennis' Mom." Brilliant! And Anne Archer is still hot.

I don't watch much television but I caught this show last week for the first time. I couldn't stop laughing. It's definitely going on my schedule, alonside The Office and old reruns of Newsradio.

Well I can say one thing.... there were no Christians making threats to kill the producer of the show.. It's so easy to poke fun at Christians... It's politically correct and bigoted at the same time.

If I find a nest in my favorite hanging plant is it wrong to throw it out with the eggs? It's my choice right? I'm sure there are millions of punch lines and I kind of brought it on but think about it.

Poking fun is not bigoted. Head on over to your favorite online dictionary and look up that word again ;) You will be surprised.

"What if Jesus [had been] aborted?"

We wouldn't have all these annoying Jeezus-freaks running around trying to control women's lives.
