[QUOTE="voiceofsoul, post: 61737423, member: 168748"] You fail to realize that the world was, well, a completely different world 50 years ago. If you didn't notice, there was this little thing called the "cultural revolution". 50 years ago, we didn't have internet inappropriate contentography, violence and all sorts of sexual images in movies, magazines and other media. We didn't have a 40% divorce rate, 40% child illegitimacy rate, a serious meth-addict problem and HIV AIDS. You guys talk like this never happened, like Dwight Eisenhower (or JFK for that matter) wouldn't be the least bit disturbed by the babymomma generation or the slacker culture. To bring up politicians from a by-gone era and say "they were liberal on this issue, therefore the GOP should be pro-choice, pro-marijuana, take God out of their platform, etc" without considering how the times, issues and the [I]context[/I] that these politicians lived in has fundamentally changed is a failure to grasp the full picture.
