The "Repeal the 20th Century" boys were active in my comments yesterday. It turns out they don't give a darn about rising egg prices, as long as they can keep African-Americans and women from voting, as long as they can ensure I can't get a bank account or a loan without a man to co-sign it, as long as they can repeal same-sex marriage, antibiotics, food safety, anti-trust laws and television.
They're not just willing to throw out the baby with the bathwater -- if the baby isn't a healthy, white heterosexual male or his largely silent and totally complaint female helpmeet, they're more than happy to throw the baby out.
To hell with you guys. We're not running history in reverse. It might be what you voted for, but you're not going to get it. Not even from the grifters you voted in.

249 years from one dictator to another. Not a bad run, as empires go.
Wonder how much longer before 1776.02 happens...or if anyone still has that kind of principles and courage.
Or have Americans been so mollycoddled for so long that they have forgotten what their forefathers once accomplished?
"Repeal the 20th Century Boys". Hadn't heard that one (makes note). Sounds like they aren't too thrilled with the 19th century either.
Google it; you'll get lots of hits.
There's a fair few of them that think Protestantism and the Enlightenment were major errors, the US Constitution a well-intentioned mistake, and that a return to a benign feudalism the only logical course of action. With them as part of the nobility, of course.
I personally blame a general fall of quality in the teaching of Civics & History myself. The reason so many are lining up to make well known governmental mistakes is that they simply don't know these things don't work.
For all their open veneration of America, American Values, and the Constitution, they simply don't know or understand the ideas and principles that are behind them. And it's sad.
I say let the Repeal clowns lead by example and eschew antibiotics as a first step. Perhaps they could be really progressive and insist the medics don't use electricity.
