You can have pro-choice rights for women, marriage equality, and lower taxes and smaller government. You can support that. You’re missing one of Hamilton’s points: compromising for the sake of bipartisanship means that your position on an issue doesn’t really matter, since you are willing to give it up for the sake…

He didn’t say you can’t have different opinions on various issues anywhere in this piece. Read it again.

But you haven’t identified bipartisan attitudes to the issues you name, you’ve identified what are currently partisan attitudes to the issues you name, it just so happens that the collection of issues don’t add up to the platform of a political party at the moment. Republican congresspeople aren’t going to spurn the…

If men faced harassment for buying viagra you could be damn sure this kind of shit would be illegal already.

Some of them are affiliated with local church groups, as Gothamist writes, including Church at the Rock in Brooklyn, Grace Baptist Church in Woodlawn, and Bright Dawn Ministries in Brooklyn.

I loved that book. So much.

I wouldn’t have lumped The Cosby Show in with that lot. Claire Huxtable was a partner in her law firm and seemed to do less domestic (childcare, cooking) than Cliff, who worked as an OBGYN out of his home. Claire was an ardent feminist too who regularly challenged and mocked her daughter’s chauvinist husband until…

I would not put Cosby Show in that category. Claire was a lawyer working outside of the family, her and Cliff split family responsibilities, and Cliff never played the “why is the lady working” card, it was always portrayed as “Claire is a badass, and we are all proud!”

Yeah, i think All In The Family can be misunderstood. And in spite of it being so over the top, there was a lot of nuance to the show. I really came to like Carol O’Connor when I got to see the stuff he did in the In the Heat of the Night series. He tackled a lot of difficult subjects there, especially for when it…

A really terrible All In The Family where Archie is portrayed as a good guy and not an anachronistic old man?

I obviously haven’t seen the show, but how does a regular ol sitcom espouse conservative values? What were the plotlines? A daughter gets pregnant because she’s only ever had abstinance only education and Tim Allen forces her to carry it to term but doesn’t contribute to the upbringing of the child?

More than one man has commented to me that he couldn’t stand to watch HMT because he didn’t like seeing the mistreatment of women. Huh!

Good. Time to stop the moronic trend of hardcore slob binge drinking on college campuses. “College” is not intended to be a place where you go to “learn how to drink”, that’s a TV/movie trope that’s just gone too far. College in this country needs to be far, far tougher...both academically and admissions-wise. Make it…

It turns out, and it was a huge surprise to most Americans as well, that many of the practices that make our form of government work are not set in law but rather depend on a shared belief in fairness and equity. We were not set up to protect ourselves from a family of grifters. That’s why the President (and VP) are…
