I Remember 1964

When Sen. Barry Morris Goldwater ran for President in 1964, he criticized Lyndon Johnson for the moral decay in the U.S. under Democratic leadership. With his surrogates John Wayne, Raymond Massey and Irene Dunne, he harped away on this.
John Wayne had to be kidding. Did he not impregnate actress Gail Russell? When he refused to marry her, she killed herself. Massey and Dunne were from a bygone era. Their careers finished, they thought back of the days of mom and apple pie and all other sort of nonsense.
The Conservatives would be ready to kill the liberals if a daughter of the latter group found herself in trouble. It's just amazing how they now distort the situation to serve their own needs. The amazing thing is that there are plenty of right-wing wackos out there who will identify with this situation and agree with the Palins in general. Why wasn't Sarah for sex-education being taught in the schools? Perhaps, daughter Bristol and beau Levi Johnston wouldn't be in such a pickle now. Excuse me, Bristol shall soon or already be craving for pickles.
I object to the Conservatives with their holier than thou approach to life. Don't shove your attitudes on the rest of us.
Nothing like trying to keep yourself warm on a cold Alaskan night.
