All Liberals over the age of 45 - Take heed
This was all posted TONGUE and CHEEK - Sorry if I offended
Homophobia, segregation, religious intolerance, racial inequality and persecution of leftists and suspected leftists in "witch trials", no it was a great time
Sexism, homophobia, and racial segregation were major parts of this era.
There was also paranoia about communism, and the threat of a soviet nuclear attack.
Read some history man.
On a brighter note, taxes were much higher on the rich! It wasn't all bad

c i always knew that to be liberal one requires experience of life , maturity and composure...this study proves it...
Oh, here we go again. The War on Christmas...
Why this sudden fascination with the 1950s?
Why not choose, instead, the 1940s?
Seems to me Americans were civil and cordial and respectful during that decade. But they also dropped (at least temporarily) their prejudices and stereotypes and all pulled together.

Sunday, Monday, Happy Days!!!This is very interesting to me and this is why, I have heard oh so many conservatives tell me they were liberals until they grew up....Well, I thought about the way way I raised my children and the programming of television they were allowed to watch, they were taught manners, to listen, to share, to take turns, to not judge others, to "kil'em with kindness, to not waiste, to clean up after themselves, to pitch in, to give to others, to be kind, to never be a bully but always stand up to one, to work hard in school and at their jobs, to be responsible, to pray,etc. etc......If that is not a liberal, I don't know what is, and that makes me oh so very proud to be one
Fae, They do it the other way around too, but I can only control me...So that is where we start, with ourselves, right

Republicanism vs Utopianism
Utopianism is the real crux of the problem: the insistence of attempting to establish that which can never exist. We are a society which is driven by hope. We are fed hope by every commercial, billboard and salesperson! We live for hope, thinking there is a magic fix for every ill. Government can...
