I agree completely with that.

I think overt political messages for either side used to be pretty rare, but moral messages common. Nowadays, morality is considered a joke and leftwing political ideology is pushed relentlessly. Very sad.

I remember when those messages were just called, "The moral of the story". Too many people see/hear stories these days and arrive totally at the wrong moral.

Aesops fables should be required reading for all school children...there's a wealth of knowledge and wisdom in some of those stories. What's funny, with every wayward character in Aesops tales, you can identify the character with some democrat you know...i.e. "The Boy Who Cried Wolf", Al Gore.
