Yep, liberals are masters of selective outrage.

That’s either a bunch of gays or a 70’s glam-rock band.

Good grief. Sooner or later, the SJWs who keep harping on junk like this will be fair game for some battery with a baseball bat.

The country is full of people who've never had a life benefiting "attitude adjustment". The worm will turn.

I was captivated by the image you posted and curious to know its background. Apparently a series of 25 foot statues commemorating “The Kiss” were created. The one in the picture is in San Diego where normal people love its capture of a moment of innocent and ebullient celebration.

Non-stories from idiots like this “leopard” klown are why we can’t have nice things anymore.

On the other hand, this one is perfectly okay.

Also, in that movie, SS and the Nurse ended up being lovers (and eventually murdered). But, you know, taking a real person and turning her into a lesbian murder victim is completely okay.

But, being kissed by a young sailor would not have terrorized my mother.

I miss actual women.

It’s a “celebration of heterosexuality” too, so of course some dumbass journalist has dig into it to see if there may be anything sinister behind it.

Yep, context is everything with this one. The left is on a mission to recontextualize our entire history from the “critical perspective” in order to cast us as villains. We shouldn’t give them an inch.

Defending sexual battery isn’t the place to draw that line.

I’d venture to say you couldn’t have found a soul in 1945 who gave a sh!t.


Yep. And it’s not just the year. It’s the event. In fact, it would probably happen today given the same circumstances.

Ah, the good old days. When a man could force himself on a woman, and she was expected to submit.

And her left arm is limp. She’s not fighting him off.

The real Greta Friedman may have had words planted in her mouth sixty years later, in addition to that famous kiss.

I would not be here had my Father not courted my Mom.

Heck none of us would.

Precisely their goal.

Because there’s a bigger picture here, we should hold the line. If the left were intellectually decent it might make sense to enter into a debate with them with a certain amount of openness to the argument that the sailor’s kiss was a violation. But they’re a bunch of hyenas who would use our intellectual honesty against us. So let’s be tactically smart and not give them an inch. I advocate that we be shrewd.

Precisely their goal.

Its working Europe is in negative fertility.

US pretty close to this.

My generation was the abortion generation.
I am 54.

So many my age did not have kids.

Its not just a choice, it destroys countries.

Muzzies are baby factories. Yassir called the womb of the Arab woman his best biological weapon.

The numbers actually add up and point us to succession.

The democrat states are not having kids.

The conservative states are having kids.

If some guy was standing there looking up her skirt it would be the perfect picture.

Ah the good old days, when young people could eye each other, engage in a bit of necking, and not have bitter and impotent old people conjecture (out loud) that the act was criminal.
