Yep. Mr. Rogers would be behind bars. Or at least his show would be cancelled and he’d have to go to sensitivity training. A scarlet “H” for homophobe tattooed on his head.

I blame George HW Bush. If he had simply continued what Reagan had put in motion, he would have been reelected, and we would have never had Clinton.

It as Clinton who made political corruption fashionable, and initiated the moral downfall of the USA.

Imagine what the world would be like today if Reagan had chosen a conservative for his VP.

Reagan needed GHWB in 1980; he didn't need him in 1984, and could have picked a successor like Jack Kemp or even the young Newt Gingrich. That he didn't simply proves the truth of Ecclesiastes 2:18-21, that you can produce great things, and then leave them to one who will destroy what you have done.

It was OK even on the liberal left to be a believing Presbyterian in those days. No more.

If Mister Rogers were alive today, perhaps he'd be put on trial for depriving children of their right to define the universe, and in particular for his hate crimes against gender fluidity. What could he possibly have to say in his defense? That he was merely telling the truth?

The guy was on PBS.

Who's to say that if he were alive today, he wouldn't follow the current liberal line?

Maybe Daniel Tiger's voice was so high-pitched for a reason.

The Bushes fooled a lot of people over the years and there are still people here who think G.W. is a conservative.

Networks will be required to photoshop in a third bathroom on the Mr Rogers set if they are going to run reruns.

Funny you should post those pictures of Eddie Murphy and his infamous skit of ‘Mr Robinson’s Neighborhood’, Murphy (who has remarkably cleaned up his act from his obscene days on (for example) his ‘Delirious’ Tour, told how Fred Rogers contacted him personally after his SNL skit and complimented him on his skills and ability, but asked him if he would please not do that skit again, that he would never want any children to possibly confuse Eddie’s character ‘Mr. Robinson’ with ‘Mr Rogers’, and Eddie Murphy almost choked up saying “it was Mr. ROGERS for Godssakes, calling ME!! How could I say no?!?”

Not only did he keep his promise to never do that skit again, he moved into a whole new genre of more family friendly films (the new ‘Dr. Doolittle’ for one), and I think that speaks well of him.

Delirious still cracks me up as much today as it did back then, but he wouldn’t have gotten away with most of that stuff today.

Mister Rodgers would come out on top of everything the left has to throw.

Dr. Savage said it years ago that Political Correctness would be the nations undoing.

Fred Rogers was an ordained Presbyterian minister. Yep, a Reverend.

No...the guy was a Presbyterian minister, for goodness’ sake. I don’t think he’d have gone with this transgender bullcrap. I really think I’ll see him someday in Heaven.

Because he is long since passed away, we’ll never know. Speculation really isn’t necessary.

Fred Rogers was waaaay ahead of the curve. Trolley was a trans.

I loved him. When people are truly transgender, it becomes evident in their early years. They use the bathroom of their gender comfort and no one is the wiser. This is a bunch of crap that Target (who is most likely having financial issues and attempting to gain attention) and politician (grasping at straws) are poorly attempting to make an issue of.
