Lol, I’ve cut my Diet Coke consumption by, for the first time in 40 years, drinking Diet Dr. Pepper. I’m finding that I like DP just as much as DC !!! So, I hope to completely quit DC! Meanwhile, I’m trying other NEW drinks.

I now operate by my own “code” which is.......”I don’t even “consider” Party anymore, if your not a Patriot (like ALL the RINO’s for example), I don’t want anything to do with you.”

Meaning minimally, “I won’t do business with you and I won’t vote for you.

When they talk about WOKE They sure don’t mean this
Americans better WISE UP/
Key swamp demons were making fortunes when they allowed US companies in a number of industries including pharma, computer; and electrical as well metal fabrication components even bicycles relocate their factories in China . To the point where China was our sole supplier.
Shipped here by rats and rinos who owned the boats like McConnell and Finestein.
The money the CCP has now comes from US .If we played our Chinese checkers right we could of really turn things around for the better not only here but in China as well.Check out this recent posting in Free Republic.com which the MSM and social venues will spike; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3890312/posts. will be stopped by Biden and hailed by Walmart http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3920123/posts

But the shelves at my Sam’s are empty with a sign saying only 5 per customer. The shelves beside them are
loaded with Coke. No Sam’s Cola.

Not at all.

What was new was the increasingly unvarnished willingness to harness the male sex drive as an engine for increasing sales volume, market share, market size, etc.

In many ways our society is still suffering from the ravages of WWII. You’ll agree, won’t you?, that the image in question would never have been made part of a national ad campaign prior to the war. Something about the perceived emotional needs of our soldiers/sailors/airmen at the time, combined with what was even then already a horribly degraded capacity to set and defend appropriate moral standards, primarily attributable to the slow but steady decay of the hierarchy of the Catholic Church in America, produced, almost overnight, a new and much more casual attitude, running all throughout our culture, about, shall we say, the “subject in question”. It wasn’t quite a free-for-all at that point, but the ball was rolling in that direction, and it wasn’t long before the exclusive association between the marital act and marriage, an undeniable part of the Natural Law, meaning that it had been written by God on every human heart, had been fully denied, severed, broken. The act in question became a commonplace and socially-accepted aspect of the everyday life of unmarried young adults. This of course has persisted through to the present day.

Who but Satan himself and those in his thrall thinks this is a good thing?

Think about it. It’s almost as if the image in question has a split personality. There’s no question it reflects a certain wholesomeness. But the young lady’s posture, her attire, and the manner in which her face is painted, with that certain look in her eyes—is there any question what the ad agency was getting at? What response it was trying to bring about in every red-blooded American man?

That’s pretty much what we’ve got to do from this point forward.

We are doing just fine without coke products. Aldi orange juice instead of minute maid, sorry Anita.

I see that Casey’s now has house brand sweet drinks. Don’t need them but there are plenty of options. One wonders who bottles the off brands.

PS. All they gotta do is make a good product at a good price. There is no need for politics or workeness in any business.

Had the Catholic Church remained the bastion of morality and decency it had been prior to 1960, the United States might have become a substantially Catholic nation by 2020. By and large, Catholic families were producing children well above the national average. Conversion rates from Protestantism and even Judaism were substantial. While economically liberal, the Democratic machines in the Northern cities were socially conservative, if not as strict as rural Protestant communities that were "dry" and Sabbath observant. Catholic pressure kept the movies and early television basically clean of overt sexuality, vile language, and graphic violence. Indeed, the period from 1933, when the Hays Code was established, to 1965 was the Golden Age of Hollywood.

But infiltration of the churches, the Catholic Church included, was a long term Communist goal. Even before Vatican II, leftists were infiltrating the clergy ranks. This was perhaps less visible in the United States, as Catholicism remained strong until the 1960s even as mainline Protestant denominations and seminaries were slowly taken over by modernist and neo-orthodox clergy in the first half of the 20th Century. It took longer for the Left to achieve its goals with regard to the Catholic Church, but their subversion was successful, both here and abroad.

Had Catholics continued their rate of having larger families and if conversions of non-Catholics continued over the last 60 years, it is easy to imagine a country where 40% of the population were Catholic adherents.

FWIW, I am a Protestant.

No. Society is still suffering from the ravages of expulsion from the Garden of Eden

it wasn’t long before the exclusive association between the marital act and marriage, an undeniable part of the Natural Law, meaning that it had been written by God on every human heart, had been fully denied, severed, broken.

It has always been broken, but never "fully" so.

Think about it. It’s almost as if the image in question has a split personality. There’s no question it reflects a certain wholesomeness. But the young lady’s posture, her attire, and the manner in which her face is painted, with that certain look in her eyes—is there any question what the ad agency was getting at? What response it was trying to bring about in every red-blooded American man?

Because God made women beautiful so that men would love them. Only teh gays would have a problem with a man seeing a beautiful woman and marrying her. Same folks that are angry that the Song of Solomon exists.
And speaking of ad agencies, - say, does this Victorian turn you on?

I am not pushing anything here. And your rudeness far outweighs ANYTHING I could have even thought about posting.

Your stupidity would make an idiot look smart.

With the $20 I used to spend on Diet Coke, we’re costing them $40 a month. Multiply that by a million, and we’re talking real money.
