I regret Dan Quayle's withdrawal from public life.
He, like most conservatives was portrayed as a dunce by the media. Actually he was pretty damn smart and correct in most of his views. He left the public arena much too soon.

With shows like MTV’s real world having a homosexual character, news profiles about a “courageous” homosexual teen boy trying to take his boyfriend to prom or getting elected as homecoming “queen”, Queer eye for the straight guy, etc etc etc Hollywood removed the “ick” factor.

Legalized casinos, drugs, and soon homosexual marriage are just the beginning. Next up will be the decriminalization of prostitution, the lowering of the age of consent, and ultimately the legalization of bestiality.

Sure, some will laugh at such things ever being possible. These are the same people who did the YMCA at their weddings or let their kids dress up as the Village People for halloween, or let their teens see the Rocky Horror Picture show-totally blind to what it all was really about.

Most liberals (who are so sure they are smarter than the rest of us) still believe that Quayle foolishly thought Murphy Brown was a real person.

Goebbels would be jealous.

With all due respect to Quayle,
it’s not _his_ wisdom that is vindicated,

it’s Biblical wisdom that is, once again, shown to be truth.

The Left wouldn’t have so much success if the RINO’s didn’t let them. Conservatives are a much larger portion of the population than liberals.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan said almost the same thing back in the 1960’s. He was attacked as ignorant and racist.

Dan Quayle said it in the 1990’s. He was attacked as ignorant, uncaring and focused on a TV show.

The Democrat refusal to support their own children and the decline of the traditional two parent family is causing the breakdown of the American economy and breakdown of American society.

Politicians don't talk about it much anymore. They know the message will be ignored and they will be attacked.

Candice Bergen personally agreed with Quayle.

Forbes writer Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry notes that being married correlates about as positively with a person’s wages as going to college does. But experts hammer the importance of college while ignoring marriage.

Great talking point.

A timely post indeed.

It may be a very hard thing to face, but the logic of having people carefully sit back and consider the situation using their brains has not worked.

Again and again the occurrence of a person making what seems to be a controversial statement, is blown up beyond proportion. This is the successful technique by the left and their lackeys. I remember one a Barbara Walters, holding forth on a presidential debate. She turned to the camera and the great open eyes seemed to mesmerize. She rambled on and then said.

"Unless there is a gaffe".

Simply put, much of the general public seem to be suborned to think that just one simple statement can eliminate the best of candidates.

It is frustrating to see clearly that the left and other flunkeys can pick and chose. They can ignore their own favourite designate, if he/she makes a damaging mistatement. Then they can turn full fury on a candidate or other adversary, the public seem to buy it.

Just damn!
