First Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving and now Rudolph.The holiday TV classic "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" is seriously problematic.

New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.
Re: Liberalism Is Truly A Disease...
I agree that liberalism is a disease, but I don't get what the stuff you linked to is all about.
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.
Re: Liberalism Is Truly A Disease...
People are complaining that the holiday classic, Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer is bigoted, insensitive and racist.

I see it as a lesson on inclusiveness.

Re: Liberalism Is Truly A Disease...
Progressives, social justice freaks and PC culture are at the heart of that... maybe TC Talks has some insight into that world...
Re: Liberalism Is Truly A Disease...
Only if you really, really, really want to make it one by framing it entirely using stances such as in your link. Keep trying, though.Liberalism Is Truly A Disease...
It's also interesting that you linked directly to HuffPo's Twitter and not the Fox News article included in your link (https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/l ... nd-bigoted), the latter of which would certainly explain this becoming a right-wing media (not just Fox) punching bag of the moment.
That said, the actual issue being linked to in all this comes with a "culture warrior" kind of stance that does HuffPo no favors.

While we're at it, we need to take a serious look at banning Nursery Rhymes.

Found this interesting how the system can turn a joke to prim time fodder.

Re: Liberalism Is Truly A Disease...
I like how this automatically becomes a "liberalism" problem. You should have seen my face when I saw that Baby It's Cold Outside was taken off a playlist. It plays into the heart of Bill Maher's theory on why Democrats lose elections. Health Care? I'm with ya. Pay inequality? Mark me down. Removing a 500 year old Christmas song because of suggestive-ish lyrics? Okay, come on...for real? You can't find anything better to do?

Re: Liberalism Is Truly A Disease...
Well, it kinda is. I'd be willing to bet a fair amount that not one of the people that pitched a bitch about the insensitivity of A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving or the Inappropriateness of Baby It's Cold Outside voted for a conservative in the last election.Mega Hertz wrote: ↑Sat Dec 01, 2018 2:40 pmI like how this automatically becomes a "liberalism" problem.

Re: Liberalism Is Truly A Disease...
Also, I'd like to add that this liberal couldn't give a rat's ass about some Christmas song from ages ago that's been hearing it his whole life. Never once did "rapey song" ever enter my mind.Bryce wrote: ↑Sat Dec 01, 2018 4:04 pmWell, it kinda is.
