they were unprotected from disease and contaminated air and water.
Though back then there were more money-achievable enclaves that were less prone to disease and contamination. Their greed has even endangered their refuges, though, but they don't see it.
Or they have a secret moon base they'll all be leaving for soon.
And, of course, the world that they want to protect never really existed.
Nope. They don't
actually
want the Eisenhower era*. What they want is the leave-it-to-beaverized version where the 50s weren't full of massive migrations, racial tension, fear of the bomb, and the rest.
* on seeing the in-laws' church for the first time, I asked the then-bf "they're kinda the Amish, aren't they?" It's not that they think it's 1953, but they're quite content to live without anything that happened since.
Congrats Juliana and M!
On the Breitbart front, I have no comment, but I do have a plot bunny. What if God had finally decided enough is enough with Christians sullying His good name and the plague he sent to the US became heart disease that struck everyone who didn't have some sort on their car?
Crap, I’d better hope the flyers from the New Age-y granola resort in my back seat are visible from
orbitHeaven!

Newt is going to build it.
Do you guys think these are the death throes of a class of people who see the world moving on without them? all of this legislation seems especially weird, to me. Desperate.

Uh-huh. Some conservatives think Obama has to be stopped before he destroys the US in his second term. So if Obama
does
get a second term....
What's been really shocking to me over the last couple of days is that a lot of these dudes think you take one pill every time you have sex. They think...
They think that's how birth control works, that all of these "sluts" are taking hundreds of birth control pills every month because they have to take one right before sex.
And they're LEGISLATING this stuff.
I don't understand why they don't know how this works. And people everywhere are HORRIFIED.
It's kind of like, have you ever had an acquaintance that you suspected was sort of a dick, and then you're at a party or something and the person just goes off on a deeply racist/sexist rant, expecting everyone to agree, and you're all just sort of embarrassed for him/her? And you don't know what to do but step away?
It's like this is happening on a grand scale.
Y'all are giving me flashbacks to whatever history class covered the ancient regime. Yikes.

Really? They think that? I... really? *BOGGLE*
