I'd prefer my wife to work, women are more than capable if they want to. This isn't 1930.

Me too. I'll be damned if I have to be her only source of adult communication everyday. She needs an outlet for her sense of accomplishment too

The biggest threat the crazy Republicans and tea party's have to the united states is not themselves stupid, it is the democrats.


They scare me sh@tliss, and it has nothing to do with them, as I don't believe they will get in power with their crap brained ideas.

My fear? Democrats become overcome with self-confidence after winning 4 presidential elections in a row, 2 -two term presidents.

That breeds corruption

That is bad news.

Obama already scares me with his taps on the AP, and the random drone strikes (if you are male and over 18 and in the same building, terrorist!). Things only get worse if one single party is uncontested in a system for so long.

This has nothing to do with democrats, this is the fact they have no competent competition.

Sorta like PC's and the wild rose in our own province. We need an official opposition which we can actually get behind, not be embarrassed of.

I can sort of see where both sides are coming from, I do think that having both parents working, as is often the case in today's modern economy, can have potentially negative consequences for the development of a child. I do think that the fox news commentators take a bizarre approach to this however and their attitudes harkens back to the "good ol' days, were there was a meal on the table when the man be gittin' home from werk".

There needs to be more emphasis placed upon quality maternity/paternity leave in the United States, which if memory serves me correct is only 6 weeks. If it is the mother or the father that is staying home with the child is irrelevant to me.

Pinko outrage? Did Don Cherry hack your account? You're either a full-on troll or just a bad caricature at this point.

Women being primary breadwinners leads to marriage break-ups. (And this may well be true... it played a role in my parents breaking up... my father didn't like the fact that my mother was making more as a white collar middle manager than he was in his blue collar job. But that's not the woman's fault.. that's male ego.)

This misogynistic ideas are out there... in Sun media, on Fox "news".... and just like with gay marriage, we will have to pull the neanderthals into the 21st century.
The male ego really is a force to be reckoned with. I just don't get it at all sometimes (ok, most of the time. ok... practically all of the time).

...and lol at pinko outrage.

lol whatever, its the usual ring of comrades (you and thor being the ringleaders) who go on scouring the youtube desperately trying to find bits and pieces from anyone who can be labelled a republican and then blowing it out of proportion so you can sit in circle and pat each other. But as I said its funny so keep it up.

There is a single post in this thread, Post #23, where anyone mentions the Republican party. I don't know for sure, but I cannot remember the Republican Party bring brought up in either video. If you are getting this as an anti-republican thing, you are extremely mistaken.

This isn't a problem with the Republican party, this a problem with people who are idiots.

Pinko must be making a comeback.

Another forum I frequent has an "Idiots On Facebook" mock thread, and there are a huge number of posts lately involving screenshots of "ANTI-OBUMMER" "ARE TROOPS" "PATRIOT!!!!!" Facebook groups deriding the rise of the pinkos.

I assume Flame Of Liberty shares a lot of image macros on Facebook.
