Thanks, Krause. Anything to keep the population boom down and curb global warming. -- Guns don't cause problems. The behavior of certain gun owners causes problems. Did you notice this from the article? "If certain people come out and start espousing this rhetoric about family values, then I will say, 'Let's talk about family values, because here's what I heard.' I don't have direct knowledge..." Heh. She's going to fight back with hearsay and gossip. "Family values" is just a meaningless phrase right-wing politicians use to fire up that small percentage of their base that thinks the GOP "stands for" that sort of thing. Obviously, it does not, if you take into account the re-election victories of significant Republican pols who were in serious violation of whatever the base thinks "family values" means. I am not saying Democratic politicians are paragons of virtue. They aren't. But they usually don't preach "holier than thou" family values bull**** to their base. The "family values" are what they are saying they will push for in their political offices. Like all humans, they may fail at some of them in their personal lives. It's really no different than the liberals who preach global warming and for everyone having a small carbon footprint while having a larger footprint themselves than 99% of the public. Think Al Gore or any of the dozens of limousine liberals. Actually, it is quite a bit different. Understanding global warming and what goes with it requires some intellectual ability, regardless of what Gore is or is not doing. Politicians preach "family values" to the relatively simple minded who go for the idea of hating gays, blacks, choice, women who want equal pay, women who work, et cetera. -- Proud to be a Liberal. |

Actually, it's exactly the same. Do as I say, not as I do. Unfortunately, you don't seem to have a clue. Granted while there are a few aberations that have espoused some of the negativity that you mention, none of the things you mention truly have anything to do with "family values", and certainly not the "hatred" you're attaching to it. And you repeating it over and over doesn't make it true. The hatred seems to be all yours. But thank you for playing. |
