Michael - one other point I meant to make there was in response to your comment

It's not about political party any longer. Both parties are complicit in getting us where we are today. The left has pushed and pushed. The right has given and given. Examples are indicated in my post above.

The old saying comes to mind - "The squeaky wheel gets the grease". The loud-mouths on the left complain about every little thing from saving the whales to give peace a chance. I don't think many of us disagree that whales need to be preserved and that peace is certainly a better alternative if it will work; however, all of these far-left kooks who cry about this and that seem to be getting what they want while those of us who just want to live our lives in peace - we don't say a word...we just keep working and paying taxes...we snicker from time to time at what people are saying and doing, but it just never hits home that they are having a significant impact on our lives - in a very negative way.

bingo. the degree to which this mentality permeates our society, especially the youth, is disturbing.

Did anyone notice which day Obama picked to launch his "Forward" campaign slogan?.

No?. How about May 5th.

What's May 5th, you ask?.

Why, it's Karl Marx birthday of course. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Marx

Try to contain your shock and amazement.

Just one more item of information that tends to confirm the whole "Forward" slogan as a sly inside joke among the closet communists out to slide us down that slippery slope to perdition one small slip at a time.

Of course the Obama apologists would characterize it as coincidence number 347.

My own view is that it only takes 3 or 4 coincidences to make a bull turd, but then some folks think I'm skeptical.

When voters see "forward," the Obama campaign wants them to think about progress, advancement, and aspirations. When the right sees "forward," they think about secret communist propaganda.

And people wonder why our public discourse is so stunted.

I think there's even more to this conspiracy...besides the fact its a blatant coincidence the very common verb "forward" appeared in both uses (Toyota used "Moving Forward" as a slogan for awhile-they're obviously in on it too), but look what I just discovered.

Forward.

Did ya catch that?

Come on Rick, you can't talk about personal freedoms and in the same breath restrict what people/organizations can and can't do. You put liberalization in a bad tone, but Wikipedia describes liberalization as "a relaxation of previous government restrictions, usually in areas of social or economic policy. In some contexts this process or concept is often, but not always, referred to as deregulation." Um, isn't that what Republicans want? Limited government and personal freedoms?

Your examples you provide contradict your argument of personal freedoms and personal responsibilities.
allingeneral wrote:It's more about the liberalization of our society as a whole and the effects that this liberalization is having on our children, who become adults and feel the need to push the envelope further.
If someone didn't "push the envelope" as you refer to it, wouldn't we still be dressed head to toe like the puritans of the 1500s? We would only show Elvis from the waist up on television until someone "pushed the envelope". You look back at things like that and think to yourself "wow, they were silly".
allingeneral wrote:I'm so fed up with the F'ed up public school system that I have chosen to pay through the nose to send my kids to a private school so that they can concentrate on their work without all the pressures from today's "educators" who feel the need to fill kids' heads full of garbage instead of just teaching the curriculum.
Excellent choice! If I had kids, I'd make the choice to home school them. Relying on public education is a joke, but it provides a baseline so that EVERYONE has the opportunity to get a BASIC education. Don't expect anything more than that from a government program. If you want your children to have more, it's your personal responsibility to provide more (which you are).
allingeneral wrote:TV and the media in general are some of the worst culprits. I can't hardly even turn on Nickelodeon without hearing or seeing some sort of sexual innuendo aimed at 5 year old minds. Not even History and Discovery are "safe" anymore. TV programming has gone down the tube (so to speak), and I have to watch like a hawk to make sure that my kids aren't viewing something in the middle of the afternoon that should be reserved for the 2am timeslot.
Again, I commend you for being a great parent!! It is your personal responsibility to monitor what you think your kids should and should not see based on your beliefs. Maybe you're just tired of having to put in the effort to find content that matches up with your beliefs, but that's no reason to limit what gets put on TV and in movies. I believe that our media is a bit conservative compared to other countries. The shows I watch don't bleep out "swear" words (you know, those words that you and I use in everyday life anyway) and show nudity (you know, because we've seen that stuff before). If you don't feel that content is suitable for your youngins (I would agree that it is not), it is your responsibility to find material that is, but don't limit what others can see or offer as content.

If you're a man and you want to marry your boyfriend, then move to Holland.
I wonder if people said similar things before women and black people had the right to vote too. Once again we have a group of law-abiding, tax-paying citizens that don't have the same rights and benefits as the rest of the country. How can a party that talks about liberty and freedom not be for securing those rights? As far as cannabis, we already have one naturally grown plant that we smoke (tobacco) that generates a ton of taxable revenue each year, despite the horrible side effects, the number of people that die from those side effects each year, and the increased cost for health care that those people put on the rest of us. Why can't we create another source of taxable revenue from another naturally grown plant that we smoke and let the consumers exercise personal responsibility in if they want to partake in those products or not. I personally don't consume tobacco products because of the side effects but have no problem with others making their own choice. I personally don't smoke weed because of the side effects but have no problem with others making their own choice.

Yes, it's someone exercising their personal responsibility to fix a mistake if they so choose. We can do all kinds of crazy things to our body - piercings, tattoos, various implants. Heck, we are even changing genders. I don't see abortion any differently.

The party of limited government is really about limiting what you can and can't do. But I guess that's ok when you do it in the name of "saving America's morale fiber". I'm sure glad Santorum dropped out! I'm scared we would have been revisiting those puritan days!!

Great discussion. I definitely agree with you on the welfare issue. I like to hope that if we don't have so many handouts that people will exercise that personal responsibility and you won't hear the stories about someone having 14 kids. I'm not exactly sure on how to go about doing that.

I'm publicly proud of you and appreciate everything you do to ensure that our children get a fighting chance at a healthy childhood while learning to be responsible for themselves.

So Toyota, Wisconsin, and Obama are all communists because their slogans use a single verb used by a long dead Chinese communist? :tinfoil:

It is a coincidence, not a page from the Little Red Book.

I can believe that!

His responses to the progressive insanity dished out by a very few here are always RIGHT ON!

From someone who's raised 9 kids and now is the proud Grandpa of 8 I know you can't expect anything in your children you won't live up to yourself! And it DOES take two! Contrary to liberal thought.

You Two keep it up. Preparing the next generation to be moral, upright individuals is the best thing good Americans can do.
