10. I was riding in a car with someone who said this...

Nov 2012

I asked her:
Do you mean the 1950's of segregation? The 1950's of McCarthyism? The 1950's of nuclear proliferation and the red scare? The 1950's of the Korean War?
She said no to all of those.
So I asked her which 1950's she meant.
She said the one with poodle skirts and stuff.
I said I don't think that 1950's existed.

That said, I think many older republicans yearn for those days because they were kids then. They weren't exposed to the realities of the time. So what they are really wanting is to be safe with mommy and daddy again.

Kind of sad really.
