A GREAT example of the cherry-picking I spoke of ...
Most here will have at most CHILDHOOD memories of the fifties, where they were protected from the realities of life in the world outside the dome their parents created for them.
Was Wilson unaware the US is a Republic, not a democracy?
This country has not been a true republic in 200 years, rather more akin to a democratic republic with a Constitution that can be amended to change such things as right to bear arms.
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.”
–Thomas Jefferson
“I am afraid the ordinary citizen will not like to be told that the banks can and do create money. And they who control the credit of the nation direct the policy of Governments and hold in the hollow of their hand the destiny of the people.” Reginald McKenna, as Chairman of the Midland Bank, addressing stockholders in 1924.
The governmental-industrial-complex..........its mission is to make things worse.
Yeah, we don't need meat inspectors either, they just slow down the economy. Doctors and hospitals would do far more business without meat inspectors. Think of how that would create economic activity!
The same thing goes for air traffic controllers. Who needs'em? Just let the planes fend for themselves and if they crash, they crash.
Nor do we need FBI agents, TSA agents, FEMA, EPA inspectors, scientists, judges, Asst attorney generals, etc., etc.
The government making things worse has no factual support.
this is EXACTLY what they did:mad:- the kept everything quiet and behind close doors- when I was older and my mom died, I learned we had a gay cousin- and and being a DRUNK was not really funny, men hurt women physically - child abuse is dead wrong-- and so many other things- and my parents were both college grads-and professional people- I had NO idea-
at 21 a friend from Philly took me to a show - I did NOT know men dressed in drag I had no idea !! ZIP- when George C Scott played in the movie "Hard CORE" I was in shock- since that day- I became a different kind of person- I look under the rug-
I think many still have NOT taken those rose colored glasses off and refuse to-- and simply are out of touch with TRUTH-- or they turn away and make bad things an insignificant issue -downplay and stay happy-
Agreed, absolutely!
But many of the people at this site have been conned into believing that surrender of more of our basic options as free citizens (some of which are bound to offend someone) to a supposedly better-educated, and more-sensitized elite is the answer. And the only place that road leads is to serfdom in the sort of gray, stagnated, everyone-in-his/her-place society that most of our ancestors came here to escape.
It's everybody's choice, but I made mine a long time ago.
Since these Right Wing Nut-job Politicians seem so interested in controlling others sexuality, a News-person with guts should ask one of them "When was the last time you had some deep down intensive raw sex with your partner?" MY guess is, NEVER.

That's because they are satisfied f'ing the public.
And the last two posts show the all-too-common trait of so-called "liberals/progressives" centering their cheap attacks on the sexual lives of people of whom they don't approve. It's the Lefties who have some growing up to do.

The RWNJs seem very interested in people's sex lives.
