Thank the Democrats and their "Ingrate Society" for this.
The damage that the Democrats and their relentless pursuit of a Euro-style, secular-socialist welfare state for America has done to this great country can NEVER be overstated.
And they are STILL pushing that agenda!
As bad as Jimmy Carter may have been as President, LBJ did a lot more damage to this country than Jimmy Carter ever could have done.
LOL! I hadn't seen that one, but it just has the ring of a classic (probably an oldie, and I just didn't get the word).I like to make the point that leftists coopt the word "society" but the word is actually for conservatives. The trick is that when leftists say "society" they actually mean nothing other than government.
When LBJ promised a "Great Society," he was actually slandering America (in that it already was a society, and a great one), and he was actually promising a great government. Note that if there is no difference between "society" and "government," that government is a tyranny.
It would be naive to believe that this is an accident. The family is the basic building block of society, if you destroy the family you have only individuals to worry about (from a leaders perspective).
Top down authority is then umchallenged by any cohesive organic unit.
BTW, it's also the rational behind the attack on Christianity, the promotion of Gay sex, and of course; abortion.
We now have the "right" to bust a nut anywhere, anyhow, and anywhen we want, but freedom of speech: that needs strict regualtion, you have to register w/ the authorities for permission first.
