To the bizarre Pavlovian haters. Go find another thread, okay?
Pony Ping!
If you want on or off the list, reply or Freepmail. Thanks.
Liberals think it is a great lesson in their version of diversity. They think that conservatives demand conformity of race and manners while promoting divisive mindsets while liberals want the beautiful mosaic of diversity of race and manners while requiring absolute safe conformity of ideas.
"...disagreement does not have to equal hate..."
From you:
"To the bizarre Pavlovian haters. Go find another thread, okay?"
I applauded the line from the article, even though: "That needs to be a bumper sticker".
"Haters" is a verbal weapon developed by the militant homosexual lobby which has since been adopted to belittle anyone who disagrees with ANY leftist cause.
Do you really want to go there?
As to the Pony thing, I haven't watched it, but my conservative son tells me that the show does promote good values.
At a “diversity” training session at the Fortune 500 defense contractor where I worked we were told that if we committed too many diversity sins we would be “sentenced to reeducation.” Those are the exact words, sentenced to reeducation. Reeducation was a one week off campus seminar held near the mother ship division 1,200 miles away. At the time travel was by need only. It didn’t take a genius to figure out it was much cheaper to fire a diversity sinner.
Incidentally, the diversity trainer was a totally humorless communist émigré from a (if I recall) Nicaragua.
This is totally subversive, and the exact way for us to take the culture back. The current version of My Little Pony is hugely popular, and really, not half bad. I’ve never sat down to watch it, but my kid loves it, and I’ve witnessed quite a bit of it.
I do. I'm proud to have been a brony for four years!
While I was as gratified at the message of the episode as anyone else, I think it's a mistake to try to drag the show into the political debate. Since the cast and crew are doubtless hardcore liberals (hey, they're entertainers, and Canadians!), too much touting of the episode by conservatives could lead them to react by going in the other direction.
The Ponies should be like Mount Vernon in the Civil War: neutral ground. Let's all leave it at that.
The Little Red Hen when I was a child probably laid the foundation to my political ideas, reinforced by hearing other kids say "let's get Karl in our group so we don't have to work" when we were picking for group projects. Hopefully many kids will remember this story for a lifetime.
