re: #48 Dr Lizardo

Thanks.

As I’ve said before, my father was a Republican in the mold of Eisenhower or Rockefeller. Mildly conservative socially, but nothing like what we’re seeing now. These so-called “conservatives” are in fact, reactionaries.

I know he started distancing himself from GOP politics when the Moral Majority started gaining strength in the 1970s. “Damned skypilots should stay in the pulpit and preach to the choir, not make laws that enforce their beliefs” was what he said about that.

If he was still around to see this crap, I certain he’d say, “Well, we fought these folks twice, once in the Civil War and once again with their German cousins in the 1940s. We kicked their asses then, and it looks like we’ll have to do it again ‘cause they didn’t get the message the first time.”

I have to ask about the word “skypilots”, as I have never heard it before in the context you are using it.
