Yeah, when I think of seething, hateful bigots, Fred Rogers tops the list.

It’s a carnival sideshow these days.

Gender fluidity was known by Mr. Rogers. He knew it by the name mental illness.

Why are we, as a nation, so interested in finding flaws in everything.

The guy was on a TV show for kids.

Bob Crane was a looney toon too. It doesn’t make Hogan’s Heroes less funny.

That would kick off a super megabegging pledge drive to remaster old PBS shows to make them politically correct.

Of course, 95% would wind up in salaries and bonuses of execs and the remainder pays for interns doing cgi - badly.

“Boys are boys from the beginning, and girls are girls right from the start.” This bit of political heresy was brought to you by PBS. Or at least, it used to be.


Sarcasm....

Hard to believe that we had such obvious bigotry against transgendered children,......

Sarcasm.....

No sarcasm, but seriously, anyone else get the feeling that the world has gone mad in some ways??? We have to have a political/social debate about transgendered people in restroom, and transgendered youth in schools??? And we are compelled by the liberals to make legally sanctioned accomodations for bizarre behaviors???

So now it's down with Mr Rogers, up with Teletubbies.

Thanks, liberalism!

Mr Rogers is from a time and era that are gone and will never come back.

"Boys are boys from the beginning, and girls are girls right from the start." This bit of political heresy was brought to you by PBS. Or at least, it used to be. Fred Rogers sang those lyrics frequently on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, which aired from 1968 all the way until 2001, yet nobody ever seemed to find anything wrong with it.
and no, he wasn't ever in Special Forces.

Genesis 2

18 Then the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”
19 So out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for the man there was not found a helper fit for him.
21 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh;
22 and the rib which the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.
23 Then the man said, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.”
24 Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh.
25 And the man and his wife were both naked, and were not ashamed.

He’s definitely a hate criminal. Don’t they remember how he would flaunt his white privilege by wearing cardigans?

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

I remember reading in one of those books written by ex secret service ( I think it was At Arms Length ), that after the election was over and Bush lost, the agent was in the living room with Bush and his family. On the coffee table were a bunch of conservative magazines and publications. Bush went over to the table and swept them all to the floor saying " At least we don't have to have this sh#t hanging around anymore"
