Middle Class Proposal

Yup, i'd definitely go after him for not being married…..shoulda done the whole proposal thing a ways earlier in the relationship……

Not getting married until the girlfriend's pregnant is CLASSY? Sure.

Does this mean that the libertarian wing of the party, which doesn't give a hoot about marriage, is now dead?

What libertarian wing of which party?

"Why is it the only people with class are in the middle"

???

That is such a tired bromide. I think it's time we start holding all those in "the middle" accountable. You'd better not step too far to the left or right or we'll pound you with the hypocrite club. Better not have an issue about which you feel passionately. We're gonna nail you for it.

I have three letters for you, you twisted creep: PJB

Please stop giving Stafford more negative reputaion. It feeds him.

Yeah, a moderate would not like this cartoon! lol.

Your'e probably right, just can't help myself sometimes when I see a piece of human offal like him try to spout some BS as truth…. : )

Oh, yeah…posters on that site give links to white supremacists ( all "cleaned up") and lots of conspiracy theorists. They find Pat's new found pacifism fits right into their antisemitic construct. Pat, himself, is not on the site among his fans. They say they are "third party forever" and will never vote for a Republican again (and cover themselves by including Democrats.)

I take the "in the middle" comment here to refer to the unborn baby in the picture (who is literally "in the middle" of both parties in that frame). This I can wholeheartedly agree with: of all Americans, only the unborn are truly classy. This, in a nutshell, is the premise of my ongoing unborn child/ zombie/ robot/ sci-fi webcomic, "Ulysses The Undead" (http://www.ulyssesundead.com).

If the cartoon strip had been truly moderate, Muir would be getting hits from both left and right. So far, he's getting hits only from the right, for belittling this business of expecting marriage before pregnancy. Hits he deserves.

Draw your own conclusions about how moderate this is.

Not entirely accurate. It's the government's job to protect our God-given rights as free human beings. And while you are correct that every law that exists is in some way legislated morality, the important difference is that it is also made to protect our rights from being infringed upon. The laws exist to stop your rights from infringing on mine and vice versa. Therefore, you have freedom of religion right up until your religion calls for something like slavery or human sacrifice or stoning for adultery – all of which infringe on the rights of others. So we have laws protecting the rights of those other parties who may not want to be your slave or your sacrifice or your stoning victim.

If the law simply reinforces a moral belief without also protecting a basic right, then it is legislating morality.

Ah, I see. Still, while the antisemitism may be a common Buchananite trait, I've never really associated them with racism.

…poke their collective noses into private lives…

Well, if the crotch-fruit of unwed parents had no effect on society then you would be justified at the nose-poking. But everyone else has to live with the consequences of these actions.

Good Lord! Don't any of you folks read webcomics? There's tens of thousand of them! Day by Day is only one of my favorites with a story line that deserves several graphic novels. Most of the best ones started as simple pencil drawings clear back in the 1999-2000 days and evolved into some startling stories. Start with DbD and start at the beginning, follow the links if you dare, you probably won't be sorry… except for the time wasted of course.

And so serious! Folks… it's a comic strip, not carved on stone or anything. Lighten up a bit before you all get ulcers. God knows the Big O will be handing enough of those out already.

I'd say there is a big difference between pre-marital sex and loose sex. Sex is something that is precious and should be treated that way because it is an act that potentially creates life. Too often, our culture devalues and debases it as something that is to be completely divorced as much as from the consequence or incidence of procreation. Prior to the birth control pill and the sexual revolution that really wasn't possible. I would prefer that we restore it to an act of reverence and potential creation to be respected and enjoyed with someone you are deeply and preferably permanently committed to, but before we ask for everything (marriage), we need to take those first few steps back on the road to where we wish we could be.

I think that the metaphor here is that he..being black, she being white…and on top of it all…He is a Republican…she is a Democrat. Reverse roles I guess. But then I get lost when he is worried about .."not being married"??? Cons, I think don't really have such a problem with that. We have a broad realization that lives are quite complex these days and that you must not be sooo serious about small stuff. Yes we live a higher moral ground…but come on…I will not pretend to be mightier than thou. S**t happens. You deal with it. Liberals are the one's that see "COLOR"…so it is they who would see the couple for what they are , a mixed couple. THEY are the racists. Cons see people for there Spirit and Individuality. For how kind they are. Unfortunately race does exist in this Country. In both parties. MOSTLY on the LEFT! The State Run Media throws in the kook right(white supremacists) into our side. Well of course, they vote Repub. Nothing we can do about that. Oh well, I think I have rambled myself into silliness here. By for now.
