Living in the Good Old Days?

Let me see if I have this correct.

We want to put a man on the moon.

There is a subversive lurking around every corner.

A nuclear strike is imminent.

Sex is reserved for married, white, heterosexuals couples -- and then only for the purposes of making babies.

Men must protect women, and women may have opinions only when men give those opinions to them.

Women and minorities are second class citizens.

The bigger the corporations, the better they -- and America -- are. And workers owe their very existence to the benificence of their employers.

Protesters are dirty, drug-addled hippies who have never held a job in their lives and are unpatriotic.

The war we are in is to help a foreign country.

Yep, that pretty well sums it up . . . if it were 1955! Given that this is the GOP's current train of thought, I have to ask.  What freaking century are you living in?

If they think they can win an election with retrograde thinking and scare tactics -- oh wait, they might just be able to pull that off because some Americans will buy any old song and dance.

Sorry, but this shit is giving me flashbacks.
