Mitt Romey's EXTREME VIEWS on WOMEN'S RIGHTS!

[Obama_2012]

Mitt wants to take the woman's movement back to the 50's and 60's. Women should be fearful of this man who may be their next POTUS. Watch this video and see the real man the religious right is trying to push on us.

Meet the real Mitt Romney, ladies.

They guy could get up there and tell the world over how he is going round all the negro's up and have us a national lynching. The Right Wing Partisan Tool Shed Association would still vote for him.

Mitt is a social liberal pretending to be moderate to get elected, but I would like to address your main premise that the 50s and 60s were some horrible time.

People should actually read up on the 50s and 60s a little bit. I think they would actually be pretty surprised how good things were. In fact, if you have older relatives, go ask them. Chances are they will have positive things to say about that time.

Just curious, what exactly do you feel was bad about that era?

Oh and BTW, this boat has sailed all ready. It didn't work when the Obama campaign tried it a few months ago. It won't work now. Try addressing the real issues, like the economy.

I agree with this assessment completely. Sure, Americans had concern about nuclear annihilation but in reality the polarized worlds of East and West afforded more security than today. Families could make it on one pay check, households were generally nurturing places for children and the "American Dream" was at it's apex. My mother would suggest she had a wonderful time and a rather charmed life as a wife and primary care provider to the family.

Coming of age in the late 70's, I look back now at that time as offering far less complication and problem as compared to the 21st century. My dad turned the light off at 5:00pm-5:30pm and came home to play with his kids. Today, I'm answering email at 11:15pm or plugged into some fucking conference call on the other side of the world. Progress or drudgery?

Depends on how you define "make it". My memories of growing up in the 60's is that we mostly made it on one pay check, and the people I knew, but not if we'd wanted to live the way people do today.
Often our "big" treat from the grocery store was a pack of Fizzies. Once in a great while (once a year maybe) my mom would really splurge and let us get breakfast cereal in the individual packs.
A lot of people who "need" two pay checks these days could make it on just one, with a smaller house and lower expectations.
There's a difference between needing and wanting.
Obviously there are a lot of people also who really do need two paychecks just to have the basics.

My grandparents seemed to hate the 60s, but they hate everything. They were little bitty kids in the 50s. This is how out last conversation about the past went;

Granny: Well boy, everyone was broke as shit, there were 13 of us kids, and we had to work our asses off, because we didn't have your fancy "grocery stores" or "indoor plumbing" or "premade clothes" We were lucky to get a pair of shoes in the winter! Sometimes, your birthday would go by, and you wouldn't even notice!

Gramps: When Boyd died- you remember that? And him only a year old? They could fix that now. Wouldn't have happened. Tell you what though, that doctor we used to go to, he had one nurse, and she did the paperwork and drew blood and shit.

Me: *Jesus fucking Christ I'm so fucking bored*

Gramps: That's back when we lived in Newport, and we did that street performing

Granny: Yeah, I was always shocked that we lived through that

Gramps: Better then being back here

Granny: Yeah, there were all sorts of things there.

Me: *Jesus fucking CHRIST, I'M BORED*

Gramps: See, back then, a lot of folk didn't have power- I remember when they put that shit in and you had to rework all the houses- we actually ran a wire from the pole and stole it for the longest time. You could do that back then, couldn't do that now.

Me: Wait- what the fuck? How does that work? I don't believe that.

Gramps: Yeah, and TV was free- you plugged it in and you got your channels for free.

Me: Bullshit.

Gramps: Yeah, and Wizard of Oz came on once a year. On Easter.

Me: ...

Gramps: And nobody went to grocery stores. We raised our own food. That's what's killing you kids. Eating that store-bought food. See, that's how they get you. Do you know how easy it would be for them to test out some new germ or wipe out the whole poor class?

Me: Gramps is this gonna be something crazy-

Gramps: See, all they would have to do would be to put the germs in the off-brand food in those stores. And then, after it was all out there, say that it was an "accident" or a "contamination" and all your dumb asses would already be poisoned and there's not a damn thing you could do about it.

Me: ...

Gramps: See, they got you all addicted to that shit- got you lazy. You can't grow weeds. You don't even know what to fucking pull. I have to stand right over top of you to make you work the garden.

Me:... I don't like being outside.

Gramps: That's pathetic.

Me: With the sun. And the bugs. And the dirt.

Gramps: Wait- you're fucking serious right now? Get your ass out there and harvest those onions!

Me: I- make Jake do it, he never does anything but play X-box!

Gramps: Neither do you. Go get the onions.

Me: Fuck this fucking conversation...

And then I had to go pull up a bunch of fucking green onions. And then Jake fucking ate them raw and I was like: Everyone in my family but me and my mom apparently just eats that shit- no cooking or anything. They're fucking ONIONS, you don't eat that shit raw.

We did feed one to his overweight hamster though, and it was adorable.

LMAO
Eery time I'm working in the garden I pull up a green onion or two, peel back the dirty layers, bite the root end off and eat the onion.
Now wild onions I won't eat raw, though if they are sauteed they aren't too bad.

You are a crazy motherfucker. I don't know how you people do that.

They're really good in stuffing, and I use them in pasta and stuff, but raw? I don't know...

My baby brother will eat just about anything though. He has... a healthy appetite.

Well, you are right. There is no doubt consumerism and materialism overwhelms us today. The world was definitely a simpler place though back then. For one thing, China and India would best be described as agrarian masses with minimal impact on world resources and so on. Now we are all fucked with their economic rise. Everyone wants the good life but the reality is the earth can't support it despite technology. A lot of people are going to die over water this century as one example. I'm not optimistic. Maybe if you are Japanese life can be good until the extinction. At their present birthrate, their population will cease to exist in 3011.
