We need to have love too!

At the risk of being called obsessed, here we go again!

Are you on drugs, is that your problem?

What the Hell are you babbling about. Perhaps you hit your head when you fell out of bed this morning!

When “All In The Family” was created, Meathead was supposed to be the hero. That quickly changed when CBS found out a lot more viewers identified with Archie.

>>with our entire government throughout or country being infiltrated by mostly well meaning, but evil possessed socialist leaders and bureaucrats.

There's where you blew it. They are not well meaning, loving, compassionate or any other sweet sounding adjective. They hate our individual freedoms. Self reliant people bring out the worst in them because we refuse to be 'controlled' to a point where we cannot take a deep breath. Start over and learn that there is actually Americans who hate our style of government. Look at all the people who are for the freedom crushing tactics of Agenda 21. Oh, you don't know what Agenda 21 is, do you? That might be a good place to start Sweetheart.

Who is Archie Bunker? Who is calling for blacks to go to a plantation?

[Idaho_Cowboy]

I’m hate to say this old chap, but in trying to tell us not to be a caricature you have done just that and given us your caricature of conservatives.

Could you give us a specific example of who and what you are talking about? Anytime you throw around broad generalities you are characterizing. Do all conservative talk show hosts fit this category, of course not; so why the broad brush approach?

[Lazamataz]

Your supposition is inaccurate.

Norman Lear, who invented Archie Bunker to mock conservatives, was reportedly shocked when Bunker instead became beloved by the audience. In no small part, this is due to Carrol O'Conner making the character more than one-dimensional, and adding a human side to Archie.

Secondly, the many sayings of Archie Bunker turned out to have great wisdom:

• "God don't make no mistakes. That's how He got to be God."
• "It's a proven fact that capital punishment is a well-known detergent to crime."
• Gloria: Do you know that sixty percent of all deaths in America are caused by guns?.... Archie Bunker: Would it make you feel any better, little girl, if they was pushed out of windows?

People are unique, they see things differently and should be free to express themselves accordingly. They should not be expected to shut up because others disagree.

I'm grateful to live in a nation that respects that. For the time being, anyway.

[A.A. Cunningham]

Dead from the neck up and this is no caricature.
