“Boy the way Glen Miller played
Songs that made the Hit-Parade
guys like us, we had it made
those were the days
And you knew who you were then
Boys were boys and Men were men..
Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again
DIdnt need no welfare state,
Everybody pulled his weight
Gee our old LaSalle ran great.....
Those were the days.......”

Yep...words and lyrics have meaning....even from the mouth of Archie Bunker and Edith

That was a great show. I'll never forget when it was *shocking* to hear Archie Bunker flush a toilet (upstairs and out of sight) on primetime TV.

Look how far our culture has fallen since then... Everything is out in the open now, including in front of children.

That was a song that was meant to parody guys like Archie Bunker as dolts who even in the 1970s still pined for the days of Herbert Hoover, who in the liberal mind is the greatest villain in American history. Truth is there were no Republicans in the 1970s or even the 1940s who wanted anything to do with Herbert Hoover. When Republicans thought of recent Presidents they wanted, they looked back to Eisenhower, or farther back to Coolidge. Reagan’s favorite President after Lincoln was Coolidge, and Reagan understood the economic theories that motivated Coolidge.

Actually, you have one of the lines wrong.

It should be...

"...And you knew who you were then, girls were girls and men were men..."

Obviously, this line is fraught with a blatant "micro-aggression and pays absolutely no mind to how one happens to "perceive ones self" on any given day and therefore cannot be used in mixed company.

It is astounding to think how sheltered our youth has become.
