America is in a Great Culture War
The political issues of the day are merely battles in a much larger cultural war that has been going on for generations and will determine what America is in the future. In many ways, the political issues that dominate civic dialogue and the news are distractions from the greater conflict.
The erosion of American cultural values did not occur overnight. It traces back to the turbulent 1960s when countercultural forces unleashed a whirlwind of rebellion against tradition. What began as protests against the Vietnam War morphed into a broader assault on the pillars of Western civilization. Young radicals, often sheltered in universities, rejected the very institutions that had granted them prosperity and freedom. They burned flags, denounced the military, and sneered at the values of their parents.
Marriage came under siege as the sexual revolution promoted fleeting pleasure over commitment. Birth rates declined while divorce rates soared. The traditional family, once the bedrock of society, became optional in the eyes of the cultural elite – even archaic and offensive. Support for the military waned as Hollywood and academia painted soldiers as villains rather than heroes. Law enforcement faced similar scorn. Criminals received sympathy while victims received lectures on systemic oppression. The productive community lost favor to an increasingly subsidized victim class.
Open borders gained intellectual respectability among the left. The melting pot ideal of E pluribus unum — out of many, one — gave way to multiculturalism that celebrated division. Assimilation became a dirty word. Gender distinctions, rooted in biology and common sense for millennia, faced mockery. By the 1970s and 1980s, these ideas had infiltrated education, media, and even segments of government. Political correctness emerged as the new secular religion, punishing dissent with social exile.
The 1990s and 2000s accelerated the decay. Radical feminism, critical race theory, and postmodern relativism spread through institutions like intellectual viruses. The family continued its decline. Fatherless homes became normalized in certain communities, with predictable social chaos following. Patriotism faced ridicule in elite circles. The Pledge of Allegiance drew lawsuits. The National Anthem became an opportunity for protest rather than unity. Religious faith, particularly Christianity which had shaped the nation’s moral framework, endured relentless attacks in courts and culture.
This erosion resembles a slow-moving avalanche. What starts as small rocks of discontent gains momentum until it buries entire villages of tradition. The left did not hide its intentions. It spoke openly of fundamentally transforming America. Many Americans dismissed these warnings as exaggeration. Today, the results speak for themselves: fractured communities, confused children, weakened institutions, and a growing sense that something fundamental has gone terribly wrong.
The Conservatives
Conservatives stand as the primary defenders of American traditional values and greatness. They do not claim perfection. Republican policies sometimes fall short due to compromise and political expediency. Yet the GOP represents the best vehicle for preserving what has made this nation exceptional.
Conservatives champion traditional values rooted in the Judeo-Christian heritage and Enlightenment principles. They defend the nuclear family as the ideal environment for raising children. They celebrate American Exceptionalism — the belief that the United States represents a unique experiment in liberty and self-government. Free market capitalism receives their energetic support because it rewards innovation, hard work, and personal responsibility. Rugged individualism, scorned by the left, remains an American ideal — citizens solving problems through their own initiative rather than relying on government as the first option.
Limited government stands at the core of the conservative creed. The Founders designed a republic with clear restraints on federal power. Conservatives fight to restore that vision through the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. They reject the notion of an all-powerful central authority in Washington. Instead, they trust states, communities, and individuals to govern themselves.
E pluribus unum guides their approach to immigration and culture. Conservatives insist on assimilation into the American melting pot. Newcomers should embrace English, American history, and the nation’s founding values. This creates true unity rather than balkanized tribalism. Patriotism flows naturally from this worldview. Conservatives proudly say the Pledge of Allegiance, stand for the National Anthem, and display the American flag without apology. They view these acts not as jingoism but as expressions of gratitude for the greatest country on earth.
Religious diversity thrives under conservatism because it recognizes faith as a cornerstone of moral order. Conservatives defend the right of all to worship according to conscience while resisting government establishment of any particular creed. On the world stage, they advocate for American leadership — militarily to deter tyrants, economically to spread prosperity, and culturally to promote freedom.
Republican policies reflect these principles imperfectly but substantially. Tax cuts and deregulation boost economic opportunities. Efforts to secure borders protect sovereignty and the rule of law. School choice initiatives empower parents against ideological indoctrination. Support for law enforcement and military strength maintains order and security. Conservatives acknowledge imperfections — occasional big-spending or cronyism — but these represent deviations from principle, not the principles themselves. Like a sturdy ship in stormy seas, conservatism may take on some water yet continues sailing toward the beacon of ordered liberty.
The Progressives
The modern Democratic Party has fallen under the sway of radical progressivism that threatens the American experiment. What passes for tolerance on the left reveals itself as a weapon for division. Identity politics sorts citizens into grievance categories based on race, gender, and sexuality. Political correctness enforces speech codes that stifle honest debate. This faux tolerance creates tribalism rather than harmony.
Open borders exemplify the danger. Democrat policies have encouraged millions of illegal entries, overwhelming communities and straining resources. Rather than enforce laws, many on the left celebrate the influx while turning their backs on the crime that often accompanies chaos. Sanctuary cities shield criminals from federal authorities. The result includes tragic stories of American citizens victimized by repeat offenders who should never have been here.
Democrats increasingly oppose religious expression in public life. They seek to drive faith from the marketplace of ideas while elevating secular dogmas. A powerful regulatory central government serves as their preferred instrument. Bureaucrats in Washington accumulate power at the expense of the people. This administrative state transfers authority from elected representatives to unelected so-called experts — precisely the ruling class the Founders feared.
Gender confusion provides perhaps the most disturbing example. Democrat support for biological males competing in women’s sports defies basic biology, fairness, and logic. Children receive encouragement toward irreversible medical interventions based on fleeting feelings rather than scientific reality. This represents not compassion but ideological zealotry that sacrifices the vulnerable on the altar of political fashion.
Socialism with strains of antisemitism has gained disturbing traction on the left. Calls for wealth redistribution ignore the failures of such systems throughout history. Israel faces demonization while terrorist groups receive sanitized treatment. Free speech becomes selective. Flag burning is the symbolism of the left while traditional patriotism draws condemnation. Kneeling during the National Anthem or discouraging the Pledge reveals contempt for national symbols – and reflects an underlying disassociation from political and cultural unity.
The left’s vision resembles a Trojan horse. It arrives promising equity and compassion but delivers division, dependency, and decline. Humorously, they lecture about tolerance while canceling anyone who disagrees. Their utopia requires tearing down the very structures that provide stability. History shows where this path leads: economic stagnation, social fragmentation, and loss of liberty. The left’s foundational ideology is governance from the top by an insulated ruling class – the very antithesis of the historic meaning of America.
The Path Forward
America stands at a crossroads in this great culture war. Conservatives offer restoration of proven principles that rely on vest power in the people – and that has fueled unparalleled success. The radical left offers experiments that have failed wherever tried. The choice remains clear for those willing to see it. Citizens must engage, vote their values, and reject the siren song of radical transformation. The future of the Republic depends on it.
So, there ‘tis.
“And in the end, the love you take
Is equal to the love you make”
Lennon/McCartney.
“All you need is love, love.”
Dunger should sing that song to Mike f as in fag.
Sethsuckshit is about as stupid as they come, but you can’t fix that. He is crude, rude, without the brains to even stake a meaningful attitude.
You got a problem with that song? What is your major malfunction anyway? Here’s your version:
And up into his backend, the sex Sethie takes, is equal to all the young dude’s hearts, he breaks.
Dunger you should be proud of all of the attention. Your mama would be proud of you. I remember you saying that she’s passed away. So sorry for your loss. But it seems like your dad jerked off in a flower pot and raised a blooming idiot
Bendover, you have the maturity of a nine year old with those statements. At least I know my father. Whatttya you have, a half dozen possibilities?
Come on guys. you can slime better and lower yourself more than this. All old lines, where’s the creativity, the innovation?
Why don’t you all get a room and. Well, you know.
Now that the kids have had their fun with foul, here’s my serious look at Larry’s lament.
Took ya long enough, old man. I knew that Nixonian Larry was hiding under his Trump covers. Freaking moralistic culture crap trying to bring back Mayberry via bans, restrictions, and worse. They can’t persuade their way so they will attempt to force their way screaming law and order, Christianity, culture, and all sorts of clap trap.
Let’s cut to the chase: you are declaring WAR on over half the nation. You call it a war, you think it’s a war, your loser win-lose attitude and atmosphere lost your war before and will lose again. The reason then was the parents who turned their back on your war-of-choice then, and will do so on your new war-of-choice now. Back under the rocks you must slither; we have had enough of you. Because, I’m a dude, man. Because all the young dudes push back on your news, your spews, and we will not pay you your dues. Unlike you, we will not bend a knee to man or your warped culture, we will not be fooled again.
You are talking about my g-g-g-generation and my generation’s response now, as it was then is “up yours!” Take your Mayberry and shove it. Bring on your war, bring on your brownshirts, bring on your guns, it don’t matter. We won’t be fooled again.
We are all Americans. We need you as much as you need us. We have our God given right to free speech, as do you. But take it one iota past speech, and we will be fighting in the streets, with our children at our feet. We won’t be fooled again. Quit inciting a war, follow the rule of law, honor our founders and their documents stipulating we are to protect our Republic from actual enemies, foreign and domestic by bearing true faith and allegiance to the Constitution.
Crapping on your neighbor over culture is NOT in our Constitution.
Dude, across my family we have been here since before the revolution, some just after the civil war, my side joined us in the great migration of the early 1900’s. We don’t agree with you across many generations of Americans, like you. This family fought in almost every war starting with our Revolution. We don’t want a culture WAR with you. We just want to live our lives without your, or anyone’s interference. Just lighten up and leave us alone.
Larry lived in the sixties. I am pretty sure Larry did not live the sixties. Probably only rock concert giant event he went to was the Beach Boys on the Mall for the fourth. Bet he went to work instead of the DC protests outside his door.
Larry, I am the 60’s. I let my freak flag fly high. We were the counter-culture. When they said sit down, I stood up. You fucks grabbed me, beat me up, cut my hair, beat me up again, yet I survived, I thrived, and I am still alive. You couldn’t stop me then, you won’t ban, restrict, stop or catch me illegal today. It’s over; you lost. All you can do is live with us, not against us. One day I noticed the rednecks had long hair so I cut mine and joined the corporate world leaving the counter-culture lifestyle behind; it was old, it was time. But I never lost my ideals or my ideology, both of which fit quite nicely in corporate America. Go figure. .
Your stereotyping and generalizing and fantasizing is old today just as it was old yesterday. So old. You were born old. I have said it before, your ideas are not traditional, classic, or even Christian. They are just old. Old fashioned. You act like we are hedonists without family values. Married over 40 years, family fine and thriving, capitalist creating multi-generational wealth building my parent’s blessings out for a few generations at this point.
I grew up on Guthrie and Seegar, the Beatles, Stones, and more. Peace-nick, hardly. Protestor – occasionally, but mostly to meet women. I never got it off on that revolution stuff. What a drag, too many snags. Hedonist – sure, I dabbled, just like drugs, but a group weekend locked in a room with Jello on plastic sheets is not a lifestyle commitment. Maybe you are just envious you missed out on the sex, drugs, and rock n roll so you compensate by calling it evil. I was a tad young for Woodstock but caught most everything else. Missed Woodstock II, I was bluegrassing that weekend looking for Jerry Garcia and New Riders to appear. I did have a blanket that went to Woodstock. Peace, love, Woodstock is what you stand against and I stand for. I never saw the stereotypes you toss out there as the counter-culture to spin your fearmongering. I saw people being people and freedom being exalted. I saw people having fun as did I. Sure, we tried communes, mostly did not work, but some are there. One friend still lives in a geodesic dome; far fucking out. They are also probably some of the first WAH-ers starting in the 60’s with snail mail, then 9.6k modems, and crinkly paper fax machines. Perhaps I had too much fun, but hey, it’s America and my dad gave me sage advice upon entering college: “son, these were the best six years of my life, enjoy.” Given his were post a year’s recovery from France in WWII, I took his words to heart. I told my kids the same.
Today, we are accomplished, advanced degrees, worked harder than you ever did, reached upper middle management in Fortune 100 corporation, and you still use the products I helped invent over three decades ago. Hippies in the corporate world. You call us elites. And, for some reason, you want war with us.
Give it a rest old man, Mayberry is never coming back, the establishment is gone.
Frank Danger … Your long screed proves my point. Thank you. Your entire rebuttal speaks of you against us — those holding traditional American values. You summed it up in one sentence “We were the counter-culture.” “Counter” as opposed to the culture…. the American culture. Yes against the traditional American culture. Against American values. Against the American flag, National Anthem and Pledge of Allegiance, Even against an imagery of a Mayberry America as an expression of ideal American-ism. Your entire rant is an attack on all those values — by your own confession. You do not see a united America because you declared war on half. And of course the usual misrepresentations, the gratuitous “old man” insults and the obnoxious constant bragging about your financial success. That seems to be where your self-worth is centered. In your money. Being rich does not mean you are not the “counter” to American values. Think George Soros. Your obsessive voluminous writings have revealed a pathetic person lost in the imagined glories of his youth. I thank you again for being the evidence proving what I wrote.
Larry Horist: Your point was already at the top of your head BEFORE you read my piece. That’s my point, old man, you haven’t changed your POV since your dream of Mayberry. I also explained my old man reference as it has nothing to do with being old physically. Apparently that went right over that point on your head. Too many words? Did you nod off like your Felon King? ZZZZZzzzzzz.
My point in response was short, simple, and directly to the point of your point: “Up Yours.”
You lie to us; you lie to yourself: “Your entire rebuttal speaks of you against us — those holding traditional American values.” I said: “We are all Americans. We need you as much as you need us. We have our God given right to free speech, as do you.” It appears my entire rebuttal speaking of you against us is a lie. Hmm, what else did you lie about?
I added: “But take it one iota past speech, and we will be fighting in the streets, with our children at our feet. We won’t be fooled again.” And I asked: “Quit inciting a war, follow the rule of law, honor our founders and their documents stipulating we are to protect our Republic from actual enemies, foreign and domestic by bearing true faith and allegiance to the Constitution.”
Yeah, some brutal us against them thinking for sure he said: sarcastically.
I have never been against American values; I am American values. Rags to riches American values through the American dream: capitalist style. I have never dissed the flag, displayed it all through college for example and never wore it as you fucks do. Always said the National Anthem and the Pledge, but yes, I think Mayberry is a myth, a repressive rationalization of restrictions, a fabrication that you use to flaunt your false superiority like a flag.
You know Larry, you redoing the sixties culture war that you so thoroughly lost the first time sounds a bit like the ole definition of insanity. You know, repeating the same, stupid, asinine, unproductive thing and expecting different results. Like 65 court cases to prove there was really no fraud in the 2020.
Dunger is coming out against the country that our forefathers gave earned for us. What a pathetic excuse for a citizen.
Spoken as a true backward thinker, Larry posts a tome blaming the left for the problems that the country faces. Larry believes that things were better for the populace in the past, despite the fact that most of the problems that he complains about existed in the past, they were just kept under wraps and not discussed. Fortunately, as we have become more educated, these issues are more openly discussed, but uneducated people like Larry do not want to be educated. Education has shown us that some people are born either same sex attraction, but conservative bigots rely on ancient history to demean these people-wanting to put them in their place. Some people are born wanting to be the opposite sex-people like Larry believe that these people need to just ignore those feelings and suffer. Larry does not understand that with education our understanding of various topics change and perhaps culture needs to change with that understanding. The conservative mindset says that what was done in the past worked in the past, not understanding that it didn’t really work…The progressive side looks for solutions to problems that will work for all, the right just believes things need to stay as they were….
Mike j. … Once AGAIN you create a Larry Horist of you imagination as your foil and straw man. You know not of what you speak. I have been a supporter of gay right my entire life. I have written in support of gay unions and gay rights in the past. i have many gay friends and have employed several gay workers, I was a friend of the gay community when it was less popular in conservative circles and in the American culture generally. You misfired on this one (nothing unusual) and offer an lie based on ignorance (nothing unusual) and personal malice (nothing unusual). Yes … I do believe Amerces was more united and had a better culture in many ways in the past– with the exception of gays and Blacks. And that is why i have always been in favor or gay and civil rights consistent with American values as articulated in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution … a culture based on limited government, personal freedom and a capitalist free market economy. And a strong world leadership. Those are the things you and Frank shove aside for a socialist style culture of big government run by an elitist bureaucracy. In my eye,, you guys come across anti-American –anti the culture and values that made America great. I doubt truth or facts will overcome your hateful self-generated prejudices, misguided opinions and your propensity for childish name calling, but I can always hope.
Larry: pssst, your opinions are not facts except as being the fact of your opinion.
I am pro America, happened to live here my entire life. My family has been so since before the Revolution.
Your and your vote, on the other hand, are shredding the very structure that produces that which you applaud above. You give too much power to the President, your Congress doesn’t work anymore letting the Executive Branch run the show. Often they don’t even turn up at work. You apply a national sales tax determined by one man, the President; worse than socialism- taxation without representation is your landmark policy. All you’ve said on that is tut, tut, not a fan and Democrats are lying about it. What an American. Your style of government invests in companies, you pick and choose who can buy who in the free market, you tell the press what they can and can’t say; you even only let a select few report on you from the White House. This guy monetizes the White House, games the entire economy to play the stock market, while his guys buy defense companies profiting of his war of choice. Yeah, sure, you are some American. American Idol is more like it.
Just because I do not share your dream of a Mayberry as the shining light upon the hill does not make me unamerican. I think I’m the realist and you are surreal. Your vision of Mayberry is all white, only one black actor, one episode ever. Even I know you don’t want that. The real Mayberry he based it on, where he grew up, they called him white trash because he lived between the prosperous white side of town and the other side, the black ghetto in the South.
Keep looking for a cool drink while pissing in the wind. Fact is, we are all Americans here. Buck up Spanky, and get used to it. We pushed these snakes under the rocks in the 60’s and 70’s. And while you slithered back out in 2017, I still feel there are good Republicans that know better than to believe your shit about truth, culture, and the American way.
Again, I am the American way, I live the dream, I am almost rags to riches, giving the blessing of college and then set loose with a 150K mile Ford Pinto and the shirt on my back living on a friend’s couch for my first month out. Not over the top rich, but by living the dream, I am comfortable with a life of value to family, country, and corporation.
On your dream of what I should do to meet your bar of the American way, again, “up yours.”
Larry, Once again your dementia did not allow you to process my commentary. I wrote about the general issues with conservatism, rather than the opinion of one specific individual (which was the topic that you wrote about-leftists causing the problems you are noting). I realize your reading skills and comprehension are limited, but conservatives do not address problems, which is what liberals attempt to do. Instead of realizing there is a problem for the masses, the typical republican will fight tooth and nail to keep things the same, because “I haven’t had problems with this so why change?” Every issue I wrote about shows this (and if you are truly gay rights supportive I do applaud you, but I suspect your ‘always’ is actually quite recent and very narrowly based). A more general issue that describes my position as well (and probably applicable to more people) is the fight over Obamacare. We have had a healthcare problem in this country basically forever, but instead of wanting to improve the system-conservatives kick and scream about the new system, do nothing to improve it, only attempt to repeal it and failing that, dismantle it so it doesn’t work as well as intended. During this, they turn it into a ‘culture war’ for their ignorant base to get fired up about. That is the problem here, and you (in your ignorance) are part of the problem….
You nailed this one Mike F as in fantastic.
Larry worked for Nixon but never raised his hand against that crook. He just pulled an LBJ to “git along by the get along” actually paraphrased and actually said first by Sam Rayburn, an LBJ prodigy. It just seems so LBJ. Then apparently, using the same ideology and platform, he lost election after election whether working for others or himself where he got spanked by a real clown.. Where is his consultancy today; did he sell it or just sweep it under the rug?
He falsely claims I am “even against an imagery of a Mayberry America as an expression of ideal American-ism.” That is not what I said; I said: ” Freaking moralistic culture crap trying to bring back Mayberry via bans, restrictions, and worse. They can’t persuade their way so they will attempt to force their way screaming law and order, Christianity, culture, and all sorts of clap trap.” Larry believes Mayberry exist as the actual true-life embodiment of American culture and tradition. My Irish-side was forced to live on “Whiskey Row” surrounded by “Irish need not apply” signs. My Czech side went to the mines in Scranton living in the Pollack ghetto there. Sure wasn’t Mayberry. “Does he remember that Mayberry had no Blacks. A few hidden in crowd scenes, and one Black actor, in one episode, season 7 maybe, and he was a Mayberry visitor. The actual Mayberry came from Griffith’s youth where he was white trash living between the all-white prosperous side of town and the segregated Black side. He himself said Mayberry was a dream of the sweet innocent side of American life. In the early sixties, I did live in a “Mayberry” for a while. Prosporous, one Black family, and during the draft deferments, no one went to Vietnam, everyone went to college. We had a factory, but no one in town, except college kids, worked the line; only management. It was a weirdness I did not notice until moving to the South where everything changed.
You saying Larry being a “backward thinker” is an oxymoron that fits. He appears to have learned nothing, grew little from the 60’s. Today, he still regurgitates and preaches the same old tropes, same old generalizations and tropes from the 60’s. His proof is his now famous: “because I know, I know.” He deludes himself that it’s true in that manner.
The point I often make, apparently badly and to deaf ears, is that no matter how you cut this, we are all in this together and our foreign competition is tough and just loves to see the Larry’s of this world looking for war with the other side. As usual, he declares war and then blames me, as the other side, for starting it. He feels he must win, I must lose, for him to go on. I just don’t see it that way and consistently say we are in it together and can only succeed together using our Founder’s documents to guide us on our way. Not to prescribe what we do, but guide us in our choices. Larry consistently chooses the win-lose, he must have victory to be whole. That means you and I must lose. We must be vanquished for Larry to move on.
This article represents that stupid, unproductive, and even harmful way of thought.
Thanks for your kudos. Larry was unable to understand what I wrote, but that is pretty typical…
Mike f… It is obvious that you are the one who does not understand what you write. An aging issue? You and Frank are two peas in a pod. oar is it two birds of a feather. Oh yeah … the return of Statler and Waldorf.– two old geezers shaking their fists at the wind. LOL
Yes, Larry. Win lose, us them, generalize, stereotype, and put em all in a box so you can hate half the country as one evil liberal entity. But you, you be unique and undefinable based on your own words, you own screeds. Larry is so feeble as to think The Muppets is a reality show. Well , then again, he does favor the Felon King Sexual Abusing PDF.file protector in his reality.. Only 3 million more files to be released for a really good reality show.
I love the way you respond to my posts-always the same, never address a single issue I raise, just tell me I have aging issues and don’t understand what I write. Me-i detail your stupidity and list facts to refute your ignorance. Time to give it a rest, your dementia is really getting bad and only the most ignorant people are buying your bullshit…
I loved Larry’s lament about his love for the gay people. “He has gay friends” is always priceless. I do not doubt him on this as gays are now allowed as Republicans. Stranger yet, there ARE openly gay Republicans in high office. I say WTF is wrong with these guys, ha, ha. No, not the straight Republicans like Larry who are OK with it, but the gays who are OK with being Republicans. (does Larry realize that means he may have trans amongst the ranks? Oh, the horror of it all). And I’m not talking your closet types trolling in public restrooms, I am taking up front, upstanding, elite, card carrying gay Republicans.
Leave it to the Larry’s to focus on bedroom happenings to judge character. Don’t expect him to expand to trans acceptance, tis a gender bender bridge too far.
Larry once asked the top Trump positives from me where I answered but he forgot and asked a few more times to forget those answers too. I ask Larry on his friendship with gays: how many friends did he lost to aids? I lost a gaggle of friends including my first manager at the consultancy. Did Larry, or did he come upon his friendships later in life. Does not matter, I do not grade based on time, and IF he knows no one who died of aids, but has gay friends today, I say there is hope that Larry can change, grow, and maybe even outgrow some of his “old man” thinking. That’s why I am woke, believe in DEI, but do not agree with forcing that on anyone, except by the rule of law, when and where needed. That ain’t socialism, that’s justice. And I was neither woke nor DEI in my youth, pretty much the opposite. My kids, my job, educated me, and the Summer of Floyd cemented the deal. It was a process over time.
OK, so I can go long — one last gay point. Scott Bessant, born n bred in South Carolina, is our openly gay Secy of Treasury and about four other Trump jobs. He is the first openly gay Republican confirmed by Congress, the second for all parties after Buttigieg, and one queer choice. Guy is a major SOROS manager, probably responsible for much SOROS wealth owning Black Wednesday that gave SOROS $1B in profit in one day. He gets married in NY, a State that Larry hates that was one of the few that allowed gays to marry undoubtedly that Larry feels is unconstitutional. In 2015, SCOTUS made gay marriage legal in 50 states: Team Larry on SCOTUS — Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, Alito dissented. But SORROS groomed Bessant who then capitalized on NYS liberalism to get married finally after SCOTUS 2015 decision, moves back to South Carolina with his spouse and two kids by surrogate. Three points from this story: liberals made Bessant’s life possible, Republicans would have forced him to stay in NYS. Republicans are gay, at times. And the third point: Bessant has some kind of twisted integrity to come from SOROS to MAGA. Moral: shit happens, it takes all kinds, and who the fuck cares about the bedroom, this guy is twisted in the boardroom. Gotta give him credit though for coming out. IF he was not so adamant about his sexual life choices, he would have lied and gone to Annapolis. I can respect that choice.
Just noting that story because it’s amazing. You just can’t make this stuff up. Ain’t diversity grand? Why does Larry feel we all must march to his drummer? i think his drummer is a bummer. And if he thinks mine is, then fine, but lighten up and leave me alone.
