"...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.
“though” should be “thought” in my post, above.
The show is like Forest Gummp was. the intention of the makers is not necessarily compatible with the comprehension of the audience. I remember when Gump was new and the left reviewers were all haling it as a perfect illustration of that retard Reagan and all his retarded ideas. When the public saw it as vindication of traditional American ideas of self actuation, morality, and entrepreneurship the second set of reviews panned the movie and urged people to avoid it. The liberals were horrified that Americans got the wrong message.
