Top 5 Conservative Characters On “Lost”
by Ben ShapiroI first got into ABC’s hit TV show Lost about two years ago. A friend recommended it, and by the time I got to the end of Episode 4 of Season 1, I was completely hooked. (This, by the way, is my Recruitment Rule for Lost: watch the first four episodes. If you don’t like it by then, dump out.) I am so hooked, in fact, that I often tout Lost as the best show in the history of television. I don’t simply love Lost for its terrific acting, wonderful writing, quirky plotting, or mind-boggling twists. I also love it because of its subtle conservatism. Here are the top five conservative characters on Lost. Beware – SPOILERS INCLUDED:
Sawyer prepares to do something cool
1. Sawyer: Josh Holloway’s Southern con man, James “Sawyer” Ford, is the best conservative character on television, bar none. Sure he sleeps around – what con man worth his salt doesn’t? But he votes Republican – in Episode 16 of Season 1, Outlaws, Sawyer admits that he has never voted Democrat. He’s a proud gun-toter, carrying rifles and pistols with equal authority. He’s a true capitalist, buying and selling like Warren Buffet at a flea market. And he hates communism. When one female character suggests that everyone share a cache of food, Sawyer sneers, “Oh sure, Moonbeam, and then maybe we can all do Trust Falls and sing Kumbaiya.” Sawyer is the first to engage in racial profiling – he labels fellow crash survivor Sayid a terror suspect in Episode 1, Season 1 – but he also develops a deep friendship with Sayid as the show progresses. And boy is he tough. In Season 2, he rips a bullet out of his shoulder with his bare hands. Ask Al Franken to do that.
Bring a knife and a gun to a gunfight
2. Locke: John Locke is the most mystical character on TV. He’s constantly insisting that the Island has brought him there for a reason – and that there’s a grand scheme underlying everything. He believes in miracles – and after surviving an eight-story fall, regaining the use of his legs, and healing after being shot through the abdomen, he has a point. He’s explicitly labeled a “Man of Faith,” as opposed to Jack Shephard’s “Man of Reason.” And he’s proved right, time and again. John’s also a tough guy. He signed up for a wilderness hike while he was paralyzed. He slaughters boar in his spare time. He stares down smoke monsters. He teaches ten-year-olds how to throw knives. His motto: “Don’t Tell Me What I Can’t Do.” As opposed to the liberal motto: “Please Give Me Your Money.” So think of him as Rick Warren meets Bear Gryllis.
- Benry in a pensive mood
3. Benjamin “Henry Gale” Linus: AKA Benry. Benry is evil to be sure – but he’s pure, solid, wonderful evil in the mold of Dick Cheney. He’s a conniving, backstabbing, brilliant leader, a guy who will do anything to win – and anything to save the Island. He’ll even speak Turkish, then kick Tunisian ass:
He’s also a family man. Which also leads him to kick ass after his daughter is killed in Season 4. Liberals would never try this tactic. They would sit there wondering why the Arabs don’t understand them or why the bad just guys just killed their daughter. Benry goes ballistic. He’s dangerously nuclear. But he’s also nuclear awesomeness.
Eko gets ready to use the Jesus stick
4. Mr. Eko: Mr. Eko is the conservative icon. He’s a former drug dealer who repents due to his brother’s religiosity. Eko’s belief in God leads him to continue pressing the button in Season 3 – a good move, as things turn out. But when he’s challenged, he doesn’t back down. After drug dealers try to steal medical supplies from the village where he has taken over as priest, he takes them out … machete-style. His super-cool line: “You do not know who I am.” They know a bit better after he chops off their arms. He’s Shaft in a starched collar. Eko maintains religious righteousness on the Island, using a stick marked with Scripture – as Charlie Pace calls it, the “Jesus stick” — to beat up evildoers. Charlie actually helps him build a church on the Island.
- The Island’s nuclear family
5. Charlie and Claire: I cheated here, but this is a Top 5, not a Top 6. Charlie is a former rock star who got too into the drugs and sex, then gave it up once he reached the Island. He realizes the power of repentance, and he becomes a self-sacrificing hero. Claire is a single mother who decides against abortion, and decides instead to put the baby up for adoption. Her plane crashes on the way to Los Angeles, and she is forced to give birth and raise the baby by herself – until Charlie falls in love with her. Charlie convinces Claire to baptize the baby, and they form a quasi-nuclear family.
Lost is a show chock-full of conservative values. It mentions God and quotes the Bible on a regular basis. It debates science vs. faith and free will vs. determinism. It promotes the value of the nuclear family – virtually every character on the show has dealt with a broken home, and they all pay the price for it. One of the episodes is even entitled All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues.
Everyone knows that Lost is tremendous science fiction. Everyone knows that Lost broke the mold with its flashbacks – and that shocker at the end of Season 3. But everyone should know that Lost is one of the most conservative shows on TV. That’s part of what makes it so juicy. And that’s why I can’t wait for January 21 and the Season 5 premiere.

Couldn’t agree more. There’s never been anything like it on television before, and I can’t see its equal in terms of sheer creativity coming along anytime soon. It’s in a different class than mere “TV show,” a distinction it shares with David Mamet’s ‘The Unit.’
Put another way, the show has a soul.
Sure, everyone — left, right and center — loves this show, but not willfully pissing off the conservative half of America is the reason everyone loves this show.
(Of course, now that you’ve gone and said all this out loud, the network will voluntarily impose the Fairness Doctrine ala ‘E-Ring’ and ruin all the fun.)
I wish Fred Thompson was on Lost.
You should tone down your breathless worship of violence though. It makes you sound like you’re trying to compensate for something. It also makes you sound like a 12 year old dweeb who got his butt kicked regularly and therefore feels compelled to live vicariously thru fictional tough guy characters on teevee. People might think each episode of Lost has you bouncing off the walls of your mom’s basement, spilling your bag of cheetos everywhere, while mimicking the muscular exploits of your teevee heroes.
So this is what has become of conservatism? Advocating for more conservatives and conservative-themed movies in Hollyweird? Have the works of Reagan, bruce Willis, Fred Thompson, Arnold, et al not wasted enough of your time? Here’s a clue: you can also check your local Christian bookstore. I’d recommend ‘Megido’. I think you’d love it. The Passion of Christ was also somewhat popular, as I recall.
I’m reluctant to use the word ‘pathetic’ to describe you and your ridiculous colleagues at this website because the word ‘pathetic’ doesn’t convey the level of contempt I have for you permanently prepubescent dorks.
if you think Hollywood doesn’t produce ‘conservative’ movies then it must be because no one wants to watch them.
Since you’re all good, free market-loving conservatives, why don’t you make your own movies and stop whining about Hollyweird bias? The same rich conservative that is stupid enough to pay your salary should create his own studio – preferably somewhere outside of the sin of LA. I’d recommend Texas. Land is cheap and they’re gun-toting, God-fearing people who will probably not beat you up on sight (if you’re lucky). You’d also be able to easily dump your finished product into a nearby landfill where it belongs.
I can see this website will be as influential as a fart in a hurricane.
I suppose you’ll ‘terminate’ this comment, won’t you?
Ben – very enjoyable article.
William – project much? What is it with you whiny, friendless libs? Just because you are an unhappy, unproductive and unloved little non-entity doesn’t mean you have to dump it on all the rest of us. Sheesh.
Cough..daddy issues..cough..
do you really see Sawyer’s racism and selfishness as virtues to be celebrity?
Heard about Big Hollywood thru RED EYE when Breitbart was on. You guys are going to get lots of hate from liberals about this site. Alaska is minus 20 degrees, but a liberal’s heart is the coldest place on the planet. Keep writing.
I watch LOST occasionally but still wonder how it’s going to untangle the webs it weaved. I hope JJ Abrams put some neo-cons in the new STAR TREK movie coming out in May.
I don’t even know what “Lost” is. I don’t watch “programming” (YOU are the one being “programmed” if you haven’t caught on, yet.) I read. To me, “Lost” means a novel by Gregory Maguire. Sort of like how “The Office” means the real version done by the BBC, not the dumbed-down abomination done for the stupid Americans.
Oh wow. I love this list Ben. Couldn’t agree more with the description of the show. But I don’t like being lumped together with Ben…I’m going to have to run over that a few times.
Oh, and Charlie shouldn’t have died. I’ll never forgive them for that.
Alex, you’re like a parody of a sniffy, kaffiyeh-wearing, macchiato-sipping effete liberal snob. In fact, I’m going to assume you’re making fun of a stuck-up euroliberal and congratulate you on your note-perfect evisceration. If I’m wrong then I just feel sorry for you.
Really? That was by far the most bizarre thing I have read in awhile. Actually, it went from bizarre to troubling. This is my first time to this site and I would like to say my last due to this article, but I have a feeling this will be like a car wreck and I will not be able to look away. Does me wanting to see a car wreck put me in this kids top 10? Can’t wait for more, yikes.
I’m pretty sure “William,” “Alex” and “Danny” are the same guy. Time to unleash the Troll Patrol, Mr. Nolte. Everyone else, forgo the bait.
A wonderful article Ben! Sounds like fun! As you know, i’ve never seen “Lost” lest I get sucked into it as i did with “24″. Maybe someday I’ll set aside a whole weekend to watch a season on DVD’s.
To William – May I say that your diatribe (Oh…sorry… attack) on Ben’s article just goes to prove what Conservatives have been saying about Liberal thought (?) for a long while. Since you have nothing substantive (Oops…I should have said… real) to say to counter (um…argue against) what Ben wrote, all you can do is launch (Hmmm… throw) invective (I don’t want to confuse you … mean words) and ad hominem (Ahhh…. emotional) attacks. You do your Leftist brethren (ummm…. brothers) proud.
Ben, You don’t know the first thing about “conservative values.” “God” is NOT a conservative value. The “nuclear family” is NOT a conservative value. By that definition, every Buddhist or Taoist family with a “traditional” family environment should be labeled “conservative.”
The most prominent founding fathers – Jefferson, Franklin and Adams are considered “conservatives” by the old definition, and wanted freedom religion as much as they wanted freedom from the British. It is people like you with your misguided trumped up and twisted version of conservatism who have lead me to go from labeling myself as a Libertarian instead of a conservative. Conservatives used to believe in freedom, individualism and small government. Not the kind of feverish, knee-jerk religiously delusional and intolerant “conservatism” that you represnt.
I am not left, I am not right, because life is all shades of grey. When you’ve lived long enough, met enough people with different perspectives and experiences, and experienced enough life for yourself, you’ll grow to understand that.
And just to be clear, I love LOST as well. I also think it’s one of the best shows on TV, possibly ever. But I don’t sit down and watch it with an agenda, looking for any excuse and evidence to back up my extremeist views.
I strongly encourage you to venture outside your safety zone and experience life from other points of view.
Um, so the best conservative character on television is a thief who won’t even give a sick girl medicine unless he gets something out of it? If you say so…
Although if being tough is a prerequisite for being a conservative, Ben must be a communist. He writes that he’d like to see Al Franken try to rip a bullet out of his own shoulder, but I doubt the Bennies’s ever even taken a bullet out of a box.
William and Danny — your biggest blog crime?
So damn unfunny and BORING. God almighty, Roseanne Barr is more interesting than you two. Rosie O’Donnell is funnier than you two.
You can’t even string a decent insult together.
Can’t you think of ONE coherant counter-argument to the writer’s premise?
A witty rejoiner as to why he’s wrong and Lost actually sucks. An au contraire because, in fact, all the characters represent lefty values and this is how
Can’t you make even conservatives laugh at the way you deftly turn their arguments agausnts them.
Nah — just a rote hysterical hate down against a new web-site.
And Danny — wimp boy — who finds things “troubling,” grow a pair, share YOUR ideas.
I knew that someone would have to play the racial card about Sawyer. Racial Profiling is not being racist. Not all muslims are terriost but almost all terriost have been Muslim. That is being realistic and the unvarnished facts. Please, let’s stop this political correctness and tell it like it is.
Yikes, we’ve never watched “Lost” though we know folks utterly addicted. I have to go buy the 1st season TODAY!
Thanks for a great review and tip.
Splash, glad to see someone else loved “E-Ring.” What an excellent show! Way too short-lived and not out on DVD, but I’m waiting. Hopper was unbelievable in it. (As was James Woods in “Shark,” another greatly missed, excellent show much beloved by conservatives.)
I suspect it was Lost’s “conservative” bent that made the creators do penance by having the episode that revealed how Sayid became a torturer — not because he was in the Iraqi Republican Guard — oh no — it was the CI-frikkin-A that turned him into one. THAT episode really bugged me. It STANK to high heaven of throwing libs a bone, not for the sake of the story or the characters, but just to make some ham-handed point about the War on Terror.
So, you got a murdering conman, three murdering psychos and two nitwits? Yeah, that’s conservatism’s top five.
To someone who has watched “Lost” trying to keep a blind eyes towards the politics of the show, this is an encouraging article. I got so sucked in by the characters and the story that I was afraid politics would ruin it. But I always did appreciate that they made Sawyer a complex character rather than slap that never-voted-Democrat label on him then proceed with him simply as a filthy con man.
And no, the name I use is actually not a reference to “Lost,” though Locke is my favorite character. You’re perspective on him is interesting.
It’s not murder if it’s the right thing to do. Not that everything the character’s did was the right thing.
Sometimes Violence IS the answer folks.
The Author here didn’t imply the 100% goodness or nobleness of the characters listed above – he showed their ‘conservative’ nature. Very interesting read, IMO. Frankly, I hadn’t given the characters that much thought – although I love the show. Reminds me of how my 10th Grade Social Studies teacher spent 2 months showing us how the movie Wizard of Oz was symbolic of Populism.
Nickolas,
I agree about the “how Sayid became a torturer” episode. The idea that someone in the Iraqi Republican Guard needed the CIA to force him to be a torturer reaches a “Syriana” level of stupidity.
That point aside, though, LOST is an excellent series and I always recommend it to anyone I meet who hasn’t seen it.
The biggest mystery to me is that Evangeline Lilly hasn’t become a movie star. The woman can ACT, and she’s VERY easy on the eyes.
William is a typical whiney little lib who wants everyone to love him but no one really does.
William, crawl back into the woodwork would you please? No one will miss you. Or better yet go to MSNBC where all you losers live.
There was a scene in Season 1 I really liked. After some of the plane crash survivors suspect that a hostile “native” is infiltrating their ranks, they decide to take a census to determine who’s who. One of the survivors, a rich snob, immediately starts whining about the Patriot Act. His sister sighs and explains, “he’s a liberal.”
Nikolas-
True, but at the end of that same episode, Said gives a little speech to Charlie recounting all the horrors inflicted upon them by the Others and their need to fight back, ending it by saying “Have you forgotten?” drawing a strong analogy to 9/11 and the War on Terror.
Got some error box saying I was “posting too quickly…slow down”. Considering this is my first post here-ever- and I only clicked the Submit Comment button once, I’d say the site is a little buggy. Apologies if this gets posted twice…
I love “Lost” but I think you may be stretching things a bit to say these characters are truly conservative. Hadn’t thought of the show this way until now, and I will agree they have a conservative bent, but still…
As far as William’s “if you think Hollywood doesn’t produce ‘conservative’ movies then it must be because no one wants to watch them” goes, the fact is that the most consistent moneymakers are the films/shows that are family friendly. It is not a decree of nature that every film/TV studio be liberal. Film-making was not always the liberal institution it is now. There was a time when studios were actually more interested in giving audiences stories they wanted rather than telling them what they want. A time when it meant something to be an American first, then an actor. A time when actors and studios held their audiences in gratitude rather than in contempt. That time may be coming back.
“William” is the typical Left commenter on pro-freedom blogs. Projection, straw-man arguments, ad hominem, etc., etc.–anything to avoid the trouble of making rational arguments. Because devotees of the Cult of the State don’t have any.
It is a great show. Big question, who is it the Island says you can’t bring back? Ben? Locke? My guess is Ben.
Also the Sarah Conners Chronicles is turning into a good show after a weak start.
Darin said “The Author here didn’t imply the 100% goodness or nobleness of the characters listed above – he showed their ‘conservative’ nature.”
Exactly – “conservative” doesn’t always have to equal “good” or morally perfect. As a group, I think conservatives tend to emphasize forgiveness and the inherent imperfection of humanity much more so than do liberals, which also tends to make us much less willing to tolerate repeated, consistent displays of stupidity, incompetence, or corruption. We understand that people will make mistakes, but we also expect people to learn from those mistakes. We also are able to acknowledge that sometimes people are forced to resort to extreme measures, even violence, to ensure that right is done. An appreciation of righteous violence (i.e. 300, WWII, Iraq War, Israel in Gaza) doesn’t make us bloodthirsty monsters, it makes us human.
I love the character on Lost who got fired from his job as a real estate lawyer and took a job blogging on a conservative website. He’s a fully developed Republican character, and the fact that Hurley mocks him for being a virgin because everyone on the island rejected his ineffectual advancesm doesn’t detract from the positive portrayal.
LOST is the best thing on television since The Twilight Zone.
Couldn’t agree more. It’s the greatest story ever told. And liberal-snob-haters? Go away, you’re not welcome here.
Hey lighten up, its only TV. Everyone need an escape once in a while.
Some here are taking this list way too seriously. Ben (Shapiro, not Linus) is clearly having fun with this and tweaking the noses of uptight libs by reveling in the stereotypes they like to slap us with.

“In other words, the best conservative on television is a racist, selfish, lying con man and thief who can’t keep his dick in his pants. Wingnuts do occasionally speak the truth, even if only by accident.”
Ben Shapiro, you should seriously consider getting a girlfriend.
Totally agree with Diana & Ariel – LOST is one of the best shows on the tellie. I just love Sawyer – he’s a man’s man and doesn’t make excuses for it. Definitely not a metrosexual.
As for William, Alex & Danny – WTF!!! Oh and BTW David – Ben is married.
Remember folks, the trolls are out.
Very ‘entertaining’ article Ben.
Ben-I agree–the writers of Lost are amazing. I’m completely hooked on it.
Love this site-guaranteed to drive the angry and unhappy left over the edge-well we can only hope.
Peg C., ‘E-Ring’ was only a good show briefly. Started out as a nice little show about the military blowing up Greenpeace boats and laughing about it. Then, as the ratings were starting go rise — and the very day I convinced several leery conservative friends to give it a watch — it turned into a show about American “radical Christians” taking Muslims hostage and murdering ‘em (because that’s happening all over the world on a daily basis, right?).
Needless to say my friends never watched another episode. I held out until American military officers started rolling out prayer rugs in the Pentagon (literally!), at which point I not only stopped watching, I very nearly threw my TV into the street.
That whole thing stunk to high heaven of network interference. And it’s Exhibit A of why conservatives have all but given up on the entertainment industry. Who wants to waste time or money for the privilege of getting kicked in the crotch day after day after day?
“if you think Hollywood doesn’t produce ‘conservative’ movies then it must be because no one wants to watch them.”
Lol… There’s that Liberal “logic”.
Here, let me try…
“I see you’re missing part of your foot there. You must like limping.”
That was fun!

I love Lost. I love the characters- Sawyer, Locke, Ben! But as people they are broken, sad, violent and pathetic. Ben murdered his own father and Locke tricked Sawyer into killing his. These are wretched people. The writing is so good that we get glimpses of bravery, sacrifice and even honor in these characters, too. They are complex. They are the way they are because they were victimized as children, an argument that those of us on the left have put forth in real life again and again while the right rails for stiffer sentences and capital punishment. In real life, your heroes would be sitting on death row.
Ben Shapiro, you should seriously consider getting a girlfriend.
I hope such heterosexism isn’t typical of this website’s readers. Ben should partner with whomever he loves. Unless it’s a relative, or a minor.
Allow me to summarize this list. These characters are “conservative” because:
Sawyer: violent, “pure” capitalist (rejects laws that prohibit swindling other people out of their money), makes fun of hippies, is a racist (but apparently uses the “you’re one of the good ones” argument).
Locke: violent, uses petulant suitable-for-five-year-olds catchphrase (”don’t tell me what I can’t do” is his “I’m the decider”), rejects common sense (”reason”), and of course winds up dead in the process.
Benry: violent, willing do “anything to win” (including sacrificing own daughter), is a Cheney-esque secrets-harboring dick to everybody on the island.
Eko: violent, zealot who literally hits people over the head with his religion (the “Jesus stick”).
Claire: a mom who cares so much about her unborn child that she flies during her ninth month of pregnancy.
Charlie: a drug addict who exhibits many qualities of the “dry drunk,” and who “finds religion”–i.e. George W. Bush.
It was the conservative and religious values espoused in “Lost” that made the show unwatchable after a season and a half.
When I want circular, self-negating logic, mangled misreadings of scripture, and the celebration of violence and torture posing as piety, I’ll just listen to Hannity.
Prediction: This blog will be gone within the calendar year. Hollywood has no values, left or right – it is the perfect Capitalist machine, it will let no partisan idea interfere with its straightforward delivery of What the People Want.
All your wishing, writing, and spell-checking will not change their output by a single frame. So, you know, I’m glad you’re spending all your time on this, and not on fiscal or foreign policy. We know where Conservative ideas got us in those departments.
Globak, a perfect capitalist machine would not turn out over a dozen anti-Iraq war movies, each of which lost millions of dollars. They were ideologically driven from start to finish with no regard for profit.
Why are you so afraid of this site catching on? There are no end of left-leaning entertainment sites to choose from. Maybe, just maybe, there’s an audience for this site too. Judging by the number of comments on each post, I’d say they’re off to a very good start.
I can’t wait for more fiscal input from Chris Dodd on the mortgage front, or Charlie Rangel’s ideas on tax reform. Maybe Obama has a plan for campaign financing, and Nancy Pelosi’s new house rules will increase bipartisan cooperation between the left and the far-left wing on the Democratic party.
Love LOST ….
Love Ben Shapiro ….
Don’t feed the trolls !
@ Elaine – bad things happen all the time. Some of us have have been abused every which way possible. But then we grow up and try to become better people than the monsters that harmed us. That is the mark of becoming an adult. I refuse to believe that the majority of people who commit crimes can directly link it to a bad childhood. There comes a point that people have to grow up. The problem? Not many of them want to. And then they blame it on mommy or daddy not being there for them. I’m not saying that parents are not at fault but I certainly believe that we are all responsible for what we become. When I stand before Christ I don’t believe He is going to say “it’s ok, your mommy and daddy abused you” and then let my trespasses go. No, it is all about how I decide to live my life, and as a Christian, for Him. Intelligent people take the experiences they have been through and let it make them stronger adults. I think that is the way God intended for it to be.
@Nick – I loved what you wrote about conservatism. It described me a lot but I never really connected it to my values in a direct way. I just knew that I got mad as a hornet that people who are twice my age could act so stupid and never got wiser. I believe completely in forgiveness but I also believe completely in learning from your mistakes and trying not to make them again. What a dead on description you gave. Thanks a bunch!
@Ben – I loved the post. Can’t wait to read more of your stuff!
I didn’t say the Sawyer character was excused because he saw his father kill his mother etc etc. My point is that the flawed broken characters on Lost, while compelling to watch are certainly not heroes, for the right or the left. In the post, Sawyer is a hero, but, in real life, the right would be in the forefront supporting his lethal injection

Conservative? Really? You know where they stand on capital gains? SDI? School choice?
Rather than try to force characters into your own political constellation, why not identify them as characters conservatives can respect. Accomplishes the same thing (highlighting conservative values) without trying (wrongly in some cases) to co-opt the characters themselves.
Good lord, you people are hard to understand. Sawyer, of course, is a criminal and a sociopath, so maybe I’ll give you that one. Ben Linus is a mass murderer, so I guess you can make that case, too, if you really want to. John Locke lived in a friggin _commune_ with people that were cultivating weed. But I guess the “conservative” approach to reality is to tune out the parts that don’t serve your narrative. Look at all the people who seem to think George Bush’s term in office began in 2002 and ended in 2007, as witness the phrase “Obama Recession.”
