After watching the SuperBowl commercials and half time show it is obvious we won the culture war. It must be sad to have your whole life revolve around tractor pulls, Ted Nugent forty fives, and old Adam Sandler movies.

(77 posts)It's why they are pushing the way they are. We just spent 8 years in power putting these bigots in their place. Outside of their enclaves they don't dare speak out their backwards hate against protected groups or they will lose their jobs and relationships.
This is a great advantage we have we can't afford to lose. We can't become the outsiders not after all the work president Obama did and others did for us.
It needs to be our way or completely shun them. That's the only way to combat hate, so not normalize it and make these people afraid to hold their views.
