[what's up]

The slots of many top jobs at the fashion industries currently are occupied by gays.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Vogue joined forces to have an Obama fund-raiser the other day, to promote the power of the current fashion power-houses which are largely gay-oriented.

I do believe that if Romney wins in Nov. some of these people will have seen their best days behind them. Thus, the current move to push their power to the max before they are decimated by a possibly coming tsunami i.e. major fashion changes if conservatives start winning the culture wars.

I hope you are right. I myself am not so sure Romney is in any way a cultural conservative: The Mitt Romney Deception--- Despite recent statements across the country by Governor Mitt Romney claiming he's pro-life, pro-family and a committed conservative, a broad investigation of his actual statements, actions, and public positions over the years indicates that he has spent his entire career speaking and governing as a liberal - and that his new found conversion to conservatism very likely coincides with his candidacy for the presidency.. .. One of the few conservative publications to expose Romney's liberalism is the conservative weekly Human Events which (in a 2005 article) listed Romney at number eight on its list of "Top Ten Republicans in Name Only (RINOs)." Indeed, this report will demonstrate that Romney was probably the most pro-abortion and pro-gay rights Republican official in the nation for the last decade. The idea that he has suddenly become a conservative after a decade of liberal actions and statements would be merely amusing were it not for the fact that he's running for the presidency and that many conservatives are falling for this act. http://massresistance.org/docs/marriage/romney/record/

I think Romney could have hemmed and hawed when asked the gay marriage question. He didn't. He came out with a black and white answer. Man and women.

He's not the Hollyweird and fashion industry hob-nobber that Obama is. Even if he turns out not to be the conservative some think he is, he's not the freakshow we currently have.

And the people who have gained power under Obama's freakshow are screaming and grasping now because they know their days are numbered.

Maybe you are right. I sure hope so. ;)

Marshall Field’s was THE store when I was growing up in Chicago. They had everything! And if they didn’t have it, you didn’t really need it. I was thrilled when they came to Texas but the store here was but a pale imitation of the original so I wasn’t too broken up when they withdrew from the DFW market.

Macy’s took over Foley’s, which had taken over Titche’s or Sanger-Harris (can’t exactly remember - it’s been so long ago). Didn’t know Field’s was part of that group so that’s interesting to learn.

J C Penny and others will do this until it costs them financially. Then they will stop. Just watch!

Marshall Field and Company

[a fool in paradise]

The same Leftist infested corporations that refuse to recognize Christmas, instead referring it to a “holiday season” that ends on December 26th, BEFORE the New Year’s holiday.

Screw politically correct liberal red diaper doper baby bastards.

“Depending on what report you read, ... (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) buying power in America ranges anywhere from $850 million to $2 trillion annually,” Wilson said. Compared with the average consumer, this group” is twice as likely to have graduated from college, twice as likely to have per capita income of $60,000-plus and twice as likely to have household income exceeding $250,000."

and four times more likely to have a sex dungeon.

Ellen is the face of the radical homosexual agenda. Anything with her face on it is understood to be about the sodomites.

[a fool in paradise]

Then they will ask for a government bailout.

The corporations went politically correct and corrupt in the last generation.

Corporations push the liberal agenda on employees (diversity training can include promotion of the homosexual agenda as well as information sessions on greenie weenie global warming scares).

They wonder why they are not as productive, because they were subverted within by those seeing re-education centers that do not benefit the bottom line. It’s about a socialist agenda, not productivity.

[wayoverthehill]

Thanks! That was a very interesting read. Sounds like a lot of Chicagoans are still holding a grudge about the changeover to Macy’s. I suppose if I still lived in Chicago I would be among them.

In the meantime, I have great memories of Saturday shopping trips and lunches with my Mom. It was a tradition with us.

You are right, but it is daunting to think of thirty years. And it will take something really dramatic to ignite the enthusiasm. I can’t even imagine what it would be. Perhaps the batch of “home schooled” kids coming to maturity will be independent thinking, smart and able to move things. It does not take a lot of people. We have to realize that a small vocal, determined group wins the day.

[beelzepug]

Macy’s took over the Bon Marche, too. I have not shopped there since. Interesting that their logo is a big, red star.

[scottjewell]

I think you may have hit the nail on the head with the idea of home schooled kids arriving at maturity. Plus, Christian kids who went to public schools, and sat in silence as the indoctrination took place (who will now say, “Did you think we weren’t watching, and arriving at our own conclusions?”).

Thanks to all for reading, and for posting comments. I believe this is one of those “it has to get worse to get better” situations. As we hit rock bottom culturally, we can only go up.

Unfortunately, Romney does hide his pro-gay past:

All one has to do is listen to this exchange between a shareholder with over 720,000 signatures pleading with Home Depot to stay neutral regarding the gay agenda (get that, he was only being asked to remain NEUTRAL, not to take an antigay stance) and the response and you can see that the Left has totally, totally won the culture wars:
