If we had a party and had talking heads with some guts then social issues would be defended, instead , most of talk radio like Hannity will not mention the homosexual agenda marriage and other social issues.
If they had not got their paws passed then I honestly think that the homosexual , far left nut agenda would fade away for another time like what happened after the 20’s.
Back then it were a bunch of pompous rich elitist types having their parties, orgies, homosexual lifestyles but it died off and then decades later we had the 50’s then we came back under Reagan.
Now we have laws for them which they did not have before and thus it would be hard to turn the clock back this time.
Like I said if we had our side talking and defending social issues then none of this crap would have advanced
Sounds like Washington and Georgetown. The Obamanazis letting their hair down in wild galas of aberrant sex and drinking orgies.
They’re filling the gutters and back seats of taxis up with vomit and we sit back and watch in horror at what this ruling class has become.
They laugh at us while we refer to the money the IRS mugged us to get as ‘taxpayer money’. It’s the government’s money stupid!
Since the idiot director apparently uses rap music instead of that great original Jazz, I feel absolutely no temptation to see this dumb movie. I can’t stand that horrible stuff.
Beyoncé? No thanks.
All part of the Happy Valley crowd.
“All-night sex?”.. Gosh, the men had it rough back then. I always thought cocaine is what made the ‘20’s ‘ROARING!’ LOL
Between Baz Luhrmann as director and Leonardo DiCrappio as the lead, I know I won’t be paying to see this. Not even as a rental.
my son was drug to see this movie by his girlfriend.
he couldn’t understand why they used rap music throughout for a 1920s drama.
I saw the one made in the 70s with redford...not impressed nor was I impressed by the book, nor the author....that photographer guy...F-Stop Fitzgerald.
One could say this moral breakdown led or help lead to the events causing WWII....
I see photos of women from that era, and most of them are just... shall I say... not attractive.
It was a pretty happy time.
And I would submit that the crash in 1929 wouldn't have been such a big deal if Hoover hadn't tried to "solve" everythign with government action. And when his intrusions were deemed "insufficient", the people elected FDR who tried MUCH harder to "solve" everything. And that's how Great Depressions happen.

Flappers caused WWII??? Thats a stretch. No, the very onerous armistice terms forced on Germany after WWI are the primary cause of WWII. The Germans were resentful, and, being Germans, didn’t stay down for long.
Even now, after being decimated during WWII and split apart for 45 years afterwards, who’s running Europe? The Germans. (but I digress)
They are the same women we have now. (Without fake boobs, botox, and the same level of dental care). The women of today are basically no different than the women of the 20’s.
‘One could say this moral breakdown led or help lead to the events causing WWII....’
Huh???
The direct reason for the rise of Nazi Germany and the eventual conflict called WWII is not in dispute and had little to do with Flappers from the 1920’s.
Hyperbole does not have to be a good thing...
Good post, and couldn’t agree more.
I see all the highway work done here in the broken state of Kalifornia, union paybacks, and call it obama money.
He is truly spending our lives away like a drunken sailor.
One of the great what if’s of history would have been Al Smith winning the election in 1928.
The mistake all of the movie productions have made, including this one, is that they emphasize the glitz. Gatsby was about the words Fitzgerald wrote. He turned some really good phrases. There has not been one production that has ever placed its emphases on the words. That’s why every production has been crap.
