Ok thought you had said your kids agree with it, .

I’ve warned my kids ot never give up their views and if a girl ever tried to say look at me then say something, tell her she doens;t need to do that etc.

LOL Maybe it is time to get out of MI, sad though isn;t it that we have to tell kids about the dangers and the agenda of the homostapo at this age.

My oldest and his pals have just gone out playing basketball, and I heard them talking about this and they were all saying , it’s sick dude etc.

Good luck and if all fails, then I75 south is always there, LOL

Thanks so much for posting this piece: I had long believed - and hoped - that youth support of same-sex marriage was exaggerated. Now this confirms that.

This combination of pro-business economics with sexual liberationism—let’s call it Bloombergism—is the new consensus around which the Democratic Party is built.

Huh? This writer Matthew Schmitz seems awfully confused on this point.

Some may think of, at least crudely, a "combination of pro-business economics with sexual liberationism" as being a "libertarian" notion. But to associate "a combination of pro-business economics with sexual liberationism" with Michael Bloomberg and/or today's 'Rat Party is simply absurd. "Sexual liberationism" may fit there but certainly not "pro-business economics."

Since when does nanny-statism, Bloomberg's trademark, belong as part of "pro-business economics"? The two shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath!!!

These kids (15-21) are just becoming comfortable with their own sexuality. They find things which are outside of the norm to be very disagreeable.

Having once been in that age group, I wholeheartedly agree. It's just natural. The left continuously engages in various forms of social engineering that defy nature, much to the detriment of society as a whole.

“... we should not be surprised to see the increase in youth support stop when the issue leaves the headlines (or when young people move off campuses and into the suburbs where there is less social pressure in favor of the elite consensus).”

Another excellent point the author makes.

Funny you should say that! I was just speaking to my niece. Her husband is a Sheriff in Ohio and is applying for a job in Orlando.

She has our Godson. I told her we would follow if he was hired.
We leave the house with nothing out of it. No one is buying at all. But I think we’ll be a whole lot happier out of MI.

I was wondering about that, myself. The author calls it "Bloombergism," and I confess I don't know anything about Bloomberg.

Some businesses have an obvious connectionto sexual liberation --- prostitution, pornography, the "reproductive health" industry (which supports neither reproduction nor health), the selling of masturbatory entertainment etc. ---- but I suspect that's not quite what he's talking about.

I've read that in some medieval homiletic collections, the connection between "sodomy, luxury and usury" was a staple, but I never quite understood that, either. I doubt it would be a popular topic around here.

Sorry I missed your earlier post #8, and by sheer coincidence I quoted that exact same sentence from the posted article and commented on it (# 24).

Well, as they say, great minds think alike - or at least similarly. (LOL!!!)

New York has high taxes, a large and corrupt government establishment, and crippling regulation. That’s not “pro-business,” unless you’re in the dictator’s clique. Is the Obama administration “pro-business”? Sure, if you’re Solyndra or GE or an ethanol producer or a favored financial institution ... but for most people, the taxes, regulation, and threats of persecution if you offend someone are anti-business.

I saw your post when I came back!

The author has confused Bloomberg’s (and other dictators’) practice of rewarding some businesspeople, with the structural factors that are really “pro-business,” such as a simple and reasonable tax code, limited and equally applied regulation, security of life and property, freedom of contract, and so on.

If you want to determine whether a polity is pro-business, look at how long it takes to open a new business, how many licenses or approvals it takes, how much it costs to secure the licenses and approvals, and how many decisions the owner can make for himself vs. having them dicatated to him. Then look at the ongoing “compliance” costs of keeping the business going, in both time and money. New York “pro-business”? Fugeddaboutit.

Well-said. Maybe instead of “pro-business” he should have said “pro-eco-swindlers, government contract fraudsters, and crooked bankers.”

Exactly. I don’t know who, precisely, has the easy ride in New York, but it’s not Tranh wanted to open a tailor shop, Jerzy hoping to do some plumbing, Jasmine wanting to braid hair and paint nails, or anyone hoping to rent out an ordinary apartment at a profit.

My mom refused to do tax returns if the customer had any business in New York, because she didn’t have time to take the courses that would give her a chance of being in compliance at the state, county, township, city, borough, and block level - and she was a specialist in multi-state returns.
