[http://diversitylane.wordpress.com/ Diversity Lane - A Liberal Family Saga] is a [[Political Cartoon]] by Zack Rawsthorne, about a family of 4 (plus two live-in girlfriends) living on '''Diversity Lane''' in Berkeley, California, who have one single goal, motivation and driving force in life: to spread the evil doctrines of Liberalism and Progressivism in America. This means that they spend their entire day burning American flags, attribute every misfortune to global warming, work to get Christianity banned from every level of society while setting up shrines to [[Barack Obama]] in their home, forbid their children to use toy-money in Monopoly because it promotes greed, set up racial quotas for their kid's playmates to promote diversity, inviting violent Black and Mexican criminals to live in their neighbourhood, specifically demanding that their children go to summer camps run by gay counselors, blame every terrorist attack on wicked American foreign policy (or global warming) and just generally living a lifestyle that, in the words of the author, is "self-destructive, tormented and a menace to society".
The only standout in this liberal horror-show is the family's 8 year old daughter, Diversity, who has somehow managed to withstand the indoctrination and brainwashing of her evil parents. This means that when her folks are busy driving to global warming symposiums in the middle of snowstorms and getting robbed by minority criminals, she's standing to the side giving wholesome conservative comments on the situation.

* [[Hollywood Atheist]]: Well, sort of. The family hates Christianity and the religious right, and seeks to ban the mention of God from all government agencies. They seem to love Muslims however, and [[New Age Retro Hippie|Sierra]] practices some generic far-eastern, crystal-gazing religious meditation.

* [[Hollywood Dress Code]]: In the beginning, Alex dressed in simple, ordinary middle-class attire with a combover, but starting [http://diversitylane.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/diversitylane_film-noir_for-blog.jpg with this strip], he nowadays sports a ponytail and wears sweatshirts with Darwin-fishes and gay rights symbols, because readers apparently missed that he was supposed to be a raging liberal. Devon is never seen in anything but what looks like a creepy black leotard and a sexually ambiguous quiff. [[New Age Retro Hippie|Sierra]], naturally, is always wearing loose-fitting, tie-dyed shawls, with huge earrings under her shaggy hair and tattooed all over with peace signs and counterculture symbols. Diversity shows her opposition to her family's political orientation by wearing conservative dresses and styling a traditonal bob cut with a bow tie.
