With shows like MTV’s real world having a homosexual character, news profiles about a “courageous” homosexual teen boy trying to take his boyfriend to prom or getting elected as homecoming “queen”, Queer eye for the straight guy, etc etc etc Hollywood removed the “ick” factor.
Legalized casinos, drugs, and soon homosexual marriage are just the beginning. Next up will be the decriminalization of prostitution, the lowering of the age of consent, and ultimately the legalization of bestiality.
Sure, some will laugh at such things ever being possible. These are the same people who did the YMCA at their weddings or let their kids dress up as the Village People for halloween, or let their teens see the Rocky Horror Picture show-totally blind to what it all was really about.
And, as a tribute to Dan, I always prefer the unapproved plural spelling of potato.
Very true. And now we have the same media portraying dunces as geniuses.
Dan Quayle was 10 times as smart as the idiot we have as Vice-President now.
Not enough, apparently, since the residents of California voted two times against gay marriage. the last vote, Prop 8 was a 52-46 defeat for gays! Quite remarkable considering San Francisco and Hollywood!
The reason this is even at the SC, is they couldn't get enough support to put yet another measure on the ballot!
i do, too! the left found its voice when it succeeded in taking down Robert Bork. the will never go back, all the while, successfully blaming republicans for the hateful rhetoric.

Most liberals (who are so sure they are smarter than the rest of us) still believe that Quayle foolishly thought Murphy Brown was a real person.
Goebbels would be jealous.
I do, too. I was hoping that after leaving the vice presidency, he would run for governor of Indiana so that if victorious, he could put some of his ideas into practice. That might have also made him a strong candidate for the presidency. Instead, following a half-hearted run for president in 2000, he just faded away.
With all due respect to Quayle,
it’s not _his_ wisdom that is vindicated,
it’s Biblical wisdom that is, once again, shown to be truth.
The Left wouldn’t have so much success if the RINO’s didn’t let them. Conservatives are a much larger portion of the population than liberals.
I was in college when Quayle was vp and I thought he was a complete idiot due to my steady diet of pop culture at the time. I never knew until recently that potatoe was written on the flash card provided to him. Its stunning how much power the media wields.
Dan Quayle said it in the 1990’s. He was attacked as ignorant, uncaring and focused on a TV show.
The Democrat refusal to support their own children and the decline of the traditional two parent family is causing the breakdown of the American economy and breakdown of American society.
Politicians don't talk about it much anymore. They know the message will be ignored and they will be attacked.
How did I end up in this hand-basket, and why is it getting so hot?
The slide has been going on for a long time. The slope is just getting steeper and we’re getting nearer the bottom.
He was, but he did not come across that way on TV for some reason. Sure, the media portrayed him unfairly, but some of this was self inflicted.
Candice Bergen personally agreed with Quayle.

The odd thing about the potato incident - I would have spelled it wrong too. There are a few words that I just have a terrible time remembering how to spell, and potato is one of them. I think most people have a list of words they spell wrong.
The contrast with how the media treats Biden is stunning, though.
