When in Rome...
...if you are invited to dinner, you follow the customs of your host.  If they remove their shoes to enter the house, it's polite to do the same.
If they bow their heads for grace, so do you.
If you work in a law office,... you don't wear shorts and t-shirt.

There are rules of decorum for all situations.
When the stewardesses arrive in Iran, they are guests of Iran.
All guests should respect their hosts.

What's all the kerfuffle about?... Undecided

it's that darn slippery slope kerfuffle.....

Who me?

The results of not recognizing the difference between cultural norms that are harmless and even educational and those that degrade the succesful and superior culture has lead us to where we are today. Fill in your own blanks on that one.....

this topic needs more cowbell

A question for you bot  

Is the bill of rights,and the constitutions, rocks?

Sew’s response is why the world needs both liberals and conservatives.

Liberals are children, always pushing in this direction or that direction and thinking any movement is preferable to staying still or, God forbid, taking a step back. And we need that. We need to confront ourselves to make sure we’re not turning in to that old guys that yells “hey you kids….get off my lawn!”


But the reality is, it’s easy to be a child. You’re protected by others so you rarely feel the ramifications of your actions. Read GE response to Bernie Sanders comment that "GE is ruining the fabric of America". Typical child like comments.

On those rare occasions when both children and liberals actually do feel the pain they caused, it simply becomes a matter of blaming the adults for screwing up the adventure they had in mind when they just took off without thinking in the first place. Like kids they break free of Mommy's hand and run off in a parking lot. It's not their fault they got hit by the car, it's the driver who wasn't looking, it's his fault.  If Bernie got his way and decimated GE, the thousands of unemployed moving into poverty now would be "Bush's fault'.  

Being an adult is hard. Being a conservative in this country with a child President, a media of children and an entertainment culture run by toddlers is especially hard. Someone has to say no. Someone has to think ahead. Someone has to protect what we have and balance the risk when presented with an idea to move forward.

This wonderful little city of Tehran in the wonderful little misunderstood nation of Iran that you think I’m being a meanie too will hang homosexuals. They’ll flog, hang or stone, mostly women but occasionally men, to death for adultery. Half of Hollywood would be swinging from trees over there. Given the chance, they'd kill you.  

So, my answer as an adult to you, a child is “NO. You’re not covering your head. Cross over to the other side of the street honey; these are bad people.”  

darn, that feels good!  Saving another child. It’s hard to be a conservative but it feels good.

Hmmm….. Remember that song from Office Space; “It feels good to be a Gangster”.

Should write new lyrics to that.

My mind may be young,.. but these bones are gettin' a bit creaky...  

Mark, let's take the 'conservative' KKK.
They would be the adults in your theory, yes?

Do you see the KKK with any influence now? No. They've been discredited. The only influence they have is what's made up by the liberal media trying to make them out to be more than they are. The media reporting the KKK were going to show up and protest in Ferguson was completely silly, yet there you had a bunch of people up in arms thinking (Republican) KKK'ers were about to drive pickup trucks through the hood! Typical. Again, children running the media.

by the way, the KKK in it's heyday was the Democrats creation in order to force blacks to vote how they wanted. it wasn't all that long ago the Democratic party had a Senate leader who was pretty high up in the KKK yet somehow, people like you, are brainwashed into thinking they were a Republican creation.  

And, I'm not saying adults are perfect, we're not. Parents make mistakes sometimes.

nstead of wishing for an America like it used to be,.. wish for one like it should be.
It will come... with you or without you


Should,  yeah, should,
You're not going to describe what it Should be.
Your bunch just wants to change it.

Read the constitution, understand property rights, and understand that what America Should be is described in the founding documents.
Ohh, but WAIT, what about the kid, born into poverty, and his one eyed mommy is crazy, shouldn't we have a Government arm to collect money from Everyone and help them out?

Noo,
If it's Wrong for you to take a few goons with guns and go knocking on doors, taking up a collection, forcibly, then it's Still Wrong when the government Takes that same money. And yes, it's Done with the implied threat of force, should one be at all reluctant.

America was very prosperous in the years between central banks. Particularly in the late 18 hundreds, if im remembering that right.

The Federal Reserve has a mission and goals. Stability, protecting the value of the currency, and others, but, if that's
Your Job and I am the boss, you're Fired.





anks which, together with the Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., make up the Federal Reserve System. The Fed, as the system is commonly called, is an independent governmental entity created by Congress in 1913 to serve as the central bank of the United States. It is responsible for
formulating and executing monetary policy,
supervising and regulating depository institutions,
providing an elastic currency,
assisting the federal government's financing operations, and
serving as the banker for the U.S. government.
In addition, the Federal Reserve System has important roles in operating the nation's payments systems, protecting consumers' rights in their dealings with banks and promoting community development and reinvestment.
