Liberals really are a single-minded lot: In their view, the only possible explanation for a person hoping that Barack Obama loses his next election is racism. All things political are analyzed through a filter of skin color, putting today's left directly at odds with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream that his children "will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
Conservatives might argue that leftists are hypocritical on this score, that they are judging Obama by his skin color and judging his critics by what they perceive to be the content of our characters -- based on nothing but our opposition to a far-left president who happens to be black.
But what they are demonstrating is not hypocrisy, it is projection. Liberals assume that since race is so important to them, it must be equally important to the rest of us, that it must, if you'll pardon the pun, color our every political thought. This is of course particularly true of the liberal elite who suffer deeply from what Hayek termed the "fatal conceit," a symptom of which is believing that all intelligent people must think as "Progressives" do -- and that all people not intelligent enough to think as they do are suited to be ruled by them.
The moral yardstick for the American left is now "the color of your character."
To liberals, when it comes to non-leftist critics of Barack Obama, the fact that many of us are not black means little less than that we wish the South had won the Civil War.
But when the subject is Barack Obama, the fact that his skin is black (despite his mother having been white) trumps all;....

That wasn't bad but it wasn't as good as the Mall Santa one. That may have been one of their best. Every scene flows with the others before and after and leaves little time to stop laughing. It was the perfect formula,
I also recall Al Bundy’s family Labor Day trip to the Ocean where they sat in their car all weekend on the highway traffic jam in the heat and Peg ran home to get something to eat and watch TV and came back hours later and trafficstill hadn't moved yet so she got back in the car.
Another near equal was when Peg got the job selling cosmetics. You remember how that went? It was another one that just flowed scene to scene with laughs and a great ending. Remember in that one Al working in the Burger Pit for that 16 year old kid?
My favorite is Al Bundy’s Ferguson,,,,,BA-WOOOOSH, now that’s a man’s flush.
Yeah she’s still milf/gilfing it up on SOA.
I love Christina Applegate, but not enough to watch the Lorne Michaels sitcom she’s on now.
It’s good to keep focused on the important things in life...it balances us.
I remember it well...
Al’s Credo for Life...
“...Christina Applegate, ...”
She was a cute little kid. They really trashed her up as the series progressed, in keeping with the low-class family portrayal. But I always thought no matter how trashy they made her, she was always a beauty.
She had some rough waters in her off-screen life. Breats Cancer, etc. A shame.
Remember them well...had a lot of laughs from that show.
Think about something, though...
50s-early 60s had Father Knows Best, I Love Lucy, Leave it to Beaver
Late 60s-70s had All in the Family,
80s had Cosby, Family Ties, Married with Children,
90s had Home Improvement, etc.
Each with a different (and progressively altered) Hollywood view of the family...
You can see a pattern over the course of all those shows..
“You can see a pattern over the course of all those shows..”
EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT POINT, NFH!!!
I’ve noticed many patterns myself, actually...but they’d be labelled “homophobic/racist/sexist/...-ist” if I posted them. Those of you who know me can probably figure most of them out though.
I won’t criticize Ted McGinley...he’s GOP...
Has anyone seen the “banned” episode...something about camping, bears and menstruation? Or am I getting confused with “Anchorman”?
IIRC, Fox pulled it...somewhere in Season 2 I think. That was too hot for the mid/late 1980’s I suppose.
Is he? That’s good.
I preferred Steve too but I liked Jefferson.
I watched maybe 2 or 3 eps of Nobody cares for Raymond and it was apparent his wife (played by GOP actress Patrica Heaton) carried his balls in her purse.
IIRC, yes he is.
“I preferred Steve too but I liked Jefferson.” I concur.
