I was just wondering to myself: Would this have been tolerated only 10 years ago? 20 years ago? How long do we have to go back to the time to when such an individual would have been laughed off the stage and/or summarily fired? My own memory is getting unreliable in this regard.
Another question: How do his subordinates keep a straight face? And what happens to those who don't seem to approve of it?
Yet another question: How long until dressing up as a barnyard animal (and I don't been "for Hallowe'en") is considered "acceptable?"
Regards,
The reason for this is that the emotional adults (conservatives) in society have allowed the emotional children (liberals) to have their way every time they throw a tantrum. Just like a spoiled child who gets his/her way all the time, the liberals make a huge noise about how this or that ridiculous thing is the *one* thing that prevents them from being happy. But once the conservatives give in on that item, the liberals are not happy and now want something else. And since all of the arguably reasonable demands (e.g. women should not be treated as second class citizens under the law) have been met, they have to reach to find more and more unreasonable demands. Like spoiled children, they desperately want an adult who will impose limits. And as long as we--or our leadership--do not impose the limits, there is no limit to what they will demand.
