Traditional American Values

You have got to see the following campaign ad- Video here.

It speaks volumes about the 'values' of the Republican party.

It's a campaign commercial for Vernon Robinson, who is running for Congress in North Carolina. The ads begin with the Twilight Zone theme music and the voiceover describes, naturally, the Twilight Zone that America has become. The voiceover speaks of the evils we face, like Islamic terrorists and .... oh let's see .... homosexuals, lesbians, feminists, judges, the oppression of Christianity (!!), black people, and Mexicans from outer space.

Robinson promises to send all "that" back to the Twilight Zone.

The ad ends with a promise of return to traditional American values and this point is nailed home with a 'Leave It To Beaver' clip, implying Robinson will bring us back to this black-and-white fantasy land.

Yes, wouldn't it be great if we could back to those simpler times of the 1950s? Ahhh, yes, the good ol' days where blacks sat in the back of the bus and couldn't vote, women were kept in their place, homosexuals dare not step out of the closet, overweight Senators were on witch hunts for Communists in our midsts, and kids hid under their desks as the whole country was scared shitless of the Soviet Union and their nuclear arsenal.

Thanks to W and his pals in Congress, this world doesn't seem that long ago.

(For those of us living in the 21st century, we will be voting for the candidates without "R"s next to their names.)
