    Ronald Reagan sure was special. As governor and POTUS. :cool:

    He (Harrison) didn't really elaborate on what the 'diabolical lies' were that he was referring to. He congratulates them on their accomplishments, then segways into how fulfilling his wife finds the vocation of homemaker to be. Hence I reconcile these by inferring that the lie isn't that career is good, but rather that homemaker is somehow bad (or unfulfilling, or undignified).

    As for @LimeyGator says what it says; I'm thinking he didn't mean it, and perhaps the clarification lies in what he understood Harrison actually said. In either case, I replied to him, as an open invitation for him to clarify if he deems it appropriate.

    Yeah, but you have to listen to appreciate the opening joke because it relies on the homophones nun and none, so it won't have the same impact when written.

    What is the highest rank a woman can achieve in the Catholic Church?

    Nun.

    indeed he increased spending massively in both instances. And a friend to immigration too!

    ....continuing to your latter points--from my experience, women want to establish independence through education--but the vast majority of the women I know, and have known--find married life, and mom life, far more fulfilling than career.

    But having a career to fall back on, is undisputably, a good thing.

    Fwiw, this is not misogynistic. I have a law degree, a degree from UF, a profession, my own business/law practice...

    ...and I define myself first as Christian, then as husband, then as father, then as lawyer...

    Bc the dignity of my vocation as husband and father, far supercedes my vocation as lawyer.

    ...and--again, from my experience--it works the same for women (with the exception that me being a homemaker as a man, would be wholly unfulfilling, bc im a man, and not carrying the babies means id feel like a parasite to stay at home. Moms earn their keep by birthing the babies--everything they do beyond that is gravy).

    Again, jmho--and I'd point out that Harrison caveats with "I'd venture a guess" before he goes into the homemaker speil.

    He turned cali's deficits to surplus via line item veto as governor.

    He capitulated to dems to increase spending bc he did not have LIV as POTUS.

    E for effort though (by which I mean UF's "E" :D ).

    You'd have turned Cali commie, and thus bankrupted it.

    By using the line item veto to strike "capitalist economy" from the budget? I think Lenin would say that was cheating too. He had to write a whole book on the dictatorship of the proletariat and overthrow a monarchy and I just did it with a pen in 20 seconds

    You're such a partisan if you don't recognize that both sides are equal on every issue!!

    When you listen to him deliver this portion. There is not a single bit of controversy. This is made up nonsense by those on the left and those against the Church.

    Maybe there's an exception for the offseason, not much else to do, right? Its kind of like how we get more leeway on the football boards for topics during the offseason.

    Sure. Read it as well. It also will provide the proper context. To get the full context. Listen to it.

    What you should not do is read a quote that is a few words from a sentence. Or even a sentence. And then insinuate or assume a false narrative.

    I'm not sure how its 'made up' when people are just talking about what he said in a recorded speech and accurately quoting him.

    Lube would make the pen harder to hold to use my line item veto powers, I would raw dog it like Reagan did

    There is no controversy. The only issue is those that despise the Church making one up.

    No way anyone should be up in arms about this speech.
