Well at least the premise is true. Obama did not act before the American Civil War either. It all falls apart starting with "hence...".

Edgar Allen Ho posted:Men being austere and emotionless and expected to not care about fashion is a pretty recent phenomena. The machoest of manly men in ages past took pride in dressing up super pretty and absolutely loved crying manly tears and embracing and all sorts of things (taking young boys as lovers), and there wasn't this weird stigma where female platonic friends can show physical affection and compliment each others' shoes and poo poo where, for men, that's not ok. Part of the reason for this though was that it was thought women were not capable of feeling real emotions due to their inferior nature, and that the only meaningful relationships you had were between other men.

Lysistrata is awesome. The men were the exact stereotypes they are today....to the point where the male characters' costumes included huge dongs they strapped on, since they're just walking erections.

I remember saying the pledge in school. What I don't remember, but my mom tells me, is that after like 1st grade I got curious and skeptical about what the pledge actually means, and started refusing to participate. In one of the many meetings they had with her, faculty begged her to say it was a religious thing so they could just shrug and forget about it. I can't say I'm disappointed not to have learned my values from the "please just lie and make this easy" people back in the good old days. Also Pepsi is gross.

The pledge of allegiance is a thing kids say during school in the US. It's one of those things that seems benign when you grow up with it, and somewhat horrifying when you look back at it. It's interesting because on its face, instilling children with a sense of pride in and a tie to their nation isn't necessarily a bad thing, but at the same time, allegiance and loyalty should be earned by the country, not taken as a given.

If you look to another great man who lived in Vermont, John Dewey, it totally makes sense. It's building a community through a shared ritual. It also creates buy-in for cultivating civic engagement. One of the major issues with Leftism is the remaining thread of anarchism running through it -- it's one of the reasons why Lenin was so staunchly anti-anarchist even though anarchists and communists had been closely allied until that point. An atomic individual vs anything else (state, corporation, etc) collapses into liberalism.

I don't think I'd say anything different, though - same people posting those memes are the same would be shocked at the lack of patriotism blah blah.

The Supreme Court ruled in 1943 that you couldn’t force kids to say the Pledge.

Subjunctive posted:Were you born in the 30s? The Supreme Court ruled in 1943 that you couldn’t force kids to say the Pledge. Went through most of my pre-college schooling in the 90s. Many a school took a Jacksonian approach to that ruling, "they've made it, but let's see them enforce it." Eventually, we got to a point where the district mandated that everyone had to stand, but no one had to do anything beyond that. I'd say most teachers didn't give a poo poo if you didn't even stand so long as you weren't causing any other issues. Texas also has its own individual pledge and they forced that one too. Because Texas.

So we're going to allow Iran to continue pursuing nukes because they held a few of our guys hostage once? That's an interesting take. Maybe if they do it again we can just give them a nuke.

I was with my Fox watching family when that happened, and it was hilarious/horrifying how much they were salivating over how much of a scandal it was going to be for Obama. There was this feeling of how it was going to gear up to be a major hostage crisis, and how a real president would get our boys home immediately. Then they were returned less than a day later and it was bad for reasons.

I don't think hostage is even the right word for detaining military personnel belonging to a hostile and belligerent foreign power which have entered your territorial waters without permission for less than a day. Something about having a right to defend yourself and proportianate responses or something.

You'll find that this only applies to white americans from america. When the USA does it, it's perfectly ok and legal and good. When other people do it, or complain about us doing it, then it is bad and wrong and gently caress them for it. Basically, right wingers view it as the protagonists in a videogame. They have a god given right to enter any house they want, bust up all the furniture, and claim the 16 rupees they find inside, and the NPC had better just stand there and keep its mouth shut.

DIVORCE AGREEMENT THIS IS INCREDIBLY WELL-PUT, AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT'S WRITTEN BY A STUDENT!!! WHATEVER HE RUNS FOR, I'LL VOTE FOR HIM. Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists, and Obama supporters, et al: We have stuck together since the late 1950s for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way. Here is our separation agreement: Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by land mass, each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets, since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes. —We don't like redistributive taxes, so you can keep them. --You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. --Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA, and the military. --We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and the coal mines, and you can go with wind, solar, and bio-diesel. --You can keep Oprah, Whoopi, Bill Maher, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all five of them. --We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street. --You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies, and illegal aliens. --We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEOs, and rednecks. --We'll keep Bill O’Reilly and Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood. --You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. --You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. --When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security. --We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values. --You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness, and Shirley McLaine. You can also have the UN., but we will no longer be paying the bill. --We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks, and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Volt and Leaf you can find. --You can give everyone health care if you can find any practicing doctors. --We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem." --I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine," "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing," "Kum Baya," or "We Are the World." --We'll practice trickle-down economics and you can continue to give trickle-up poverty your best shot. --Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name, and our flag. Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you might think about which one of us will need whose help in 15 years. Sincerely, John J. Wall Law Student and an American P.S. Also, please take George Clooney, Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin Short, Charlie Sheen, Barbra Streisand, and (Hanoi) Jane Fonda with you. P.P.S. And you won't have to press 1 for English when you call our country. Forward This Every Time You Get It ! Let's Keep This Going, Maybe Some Of It Will Start Sink in.
