Liberalism Is Truly A Disease...

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


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.

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.

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.

Progressives, social justice freaks and PC culture are at the heart of that... maybe TC Talks has some insight into that world...

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. :lol

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.


The old lady who lived in a shoe - Clearly anti - Birth Control

Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater - Was a control Freak

Jack Sprat - Encourages gluttony

Old King Cole - Glorifies smoking

Rock-a-Bye Baby - Child endangerment

Simple Simon - Uses a derogatory term to mock a mentally challenged person

Ten Little Indians - Racist

I Love Little Pussy - - -Let's not even go there


I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

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

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?

Perhaps you should take this one up with the board's resident culture warrior!* :lol

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.

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.

Usually, I'm the one shaking my head and saying "THIS is why we don't win elections"
