Oh come on. It the 50s just about EVERYONE would be considered a member of what is called the "religious right" today. In fact there have been man times in our history when the "religious right" set standards for local communities. We never did get like the Taliban. Instead, we progressively became the best, most prosperous nation in human history.

Amen to that! And remeber in the 50s if you tried to go against the majority and defy the "religious right" you would be branded as Un-American and blacklisted. Good luck getting a job anywhere after that. And let us not forget that we kept the lesser races in check in those times as well. And women learned to obey their husbands, even if it meant living in misery and led to a high suicide rate -- losing women wasn't a big deal because we could always make more; after all, the teen pregnancy rate of this country hasn't been higher since the 1950s.

Check your facts, partner. It's pretty obvious that your only objective on this one was to be inflammatory. Ahban made a good point. Your rebuttal shows that you don't have a clue about American history. It's your freedom to speak. But if you want people to listen, back your speech with a little education.
